Printing problem using Elements 9

I am trying to print a photo on my Canon MX870 that has been edited (cropped and a few slight lighting changes) in Elements 9 , the colours look good on the screen but when I print it looks different, . I have the colour settings from the Edit menu set to "always optimize for printing". The file information shows the camera data as colour space sRGB.
I am using canon inks (all full) and canon matte photo paper and I selected the matte photo paper on the paper type in printer settings.
I have printed good photos before on this printer (I think using photo gallery) but was not using photoshop elements at the time. Does it make any difference if the photo is saved as a jpeg file or a pse file?
What am I doing wrong - Help please!

Suggest that you set color settings to optimize for computer screens.
Next, in the printer, elect to have the printer manage colors.
It's critical not to have both manage colors.

Printing problems using Photoshop Elements 6

I have been using Photoshop Elements 6 for several years and am currently having printing problems, e.g., some prints are too light, some are too saturated, or too dark...they just don't look like the screen which looks pretty good. I use Spyder 3 Pro to calibrate my monitor. Does anyone know of any websites that address these type of problems. Looking for some advice, tips, etc.
Thanks.

Does this happen only in PSE6 or in other programs that can print graphics, like Acrobat or Word or PowerPoint?
I only ask because my LexMark started to vary color saturation shortly before the print head dumped an entire cartridge onto one page and it gave up the ghost.
It wasn't just pictures. Word documents would go from light to dark. Graphics (business cards, labels) would print bright and then dim on the same page.

I have two problems using elements 11

When I try to put two images into a "new file" both images are in front of the file. I can't drag them into the file. I have the correct sizing. I did this with no problem in elements 3.
I tried to use the type tool. No matter what I try all i get is a straight line . Noletters

Dear 99jonWonderful-that response answers all the difficulties that I have struggled with. (Maybe the solution was considered too obvious to be in my copy of Nick Vandome's Elements 11 In Easy Steps!)

If you are using more than the healing brush e.g. adding text or using adjustment layers; your layers will be saved for future editing.
PSD is also a lossless format. You can treat it as you master copy containg the combined adjustments made with the raw sliders and any further adjustments made in expert mode. You can use the master to make a jpeg at any time. Simply open and do File >> Save As again. Or select a few PSD thumbnails in the Organizer and use File >> Export As New.

Printer problems with Elements 11

Using Elements 11, when attempting to print a photo with one of my printers, it states that it cannot print with this printer!

You are aware that you left out pretty close to all relevant information (exact alert, OS, printer, driver, …)?

Adobe XI Print problem using Google Chrome

I have recently updated to Adobe XI and downloaded a PDF print at home rail ticket. I currently use Google Chrome which I find quicker than Internet Explorer but when I download the PDF and try to print when using Chrome I get the message 'Prop Res DLL not loaded' . I decided to try printing when in Internet Explorer and the document printed without problem. So is there an incompatibility with Chrome and Adobe XI and can it be fixed? I did try Adobe Help and Repair but the same problem arose.

Chrome uses its own PDF viewer, not Adobe Reader. Download the document to your local disk, then open and print it from there.

Printing problem using HP Laser 3015 with OS 10.4.11 on MacBook

Pauses when printing a set of PDF files on my HP Laser 3015. It takes forever to print a set of documents. This is not working for my business where sometimes I have anywhere from 60 to over 100 pages to print out 2 sets! Last week I printed out the first set that took a long time and copied the second set. Printer worked fine with the old reader. I would like to have that back!! But can't find it in my application folder. Can someone tell me how to get an old reader if there is not a solution to this printing problem.
I reviewed all the settings on the print box and can't find the problem. I've read what to do in Adobe's help but it didn't tell me anything I already was doing. Does anyone have a solution to my problem? I sure would appreciate it.

I have had printing problem too many days ago.
As far as I am concerned you may try the following: -
- Verify your acrobat reader is up to date.
- Verify your printer drivers if missing any.
- Verify there shouldnt be any paper jam in the printer.
- Verify your printer is connected properly.
Verify that you have ink colors
- In the printer.

If these didnt help than it may be your printer problem, you may fix it show it to any hardware shop.

Printing problems with Elements and iPhoto on OSX 10.5.7

I am having problems with printing photos on my printer (Canon iP4000) since getting the new iMac with OSX (10.5.7) and using Photoshop Elements 6 and iPhoto. The Canon printer driver (and all my other data) were copied to my Mac by the techs at the Apple store from which I purchased the iMac. (I previously had a Mac G4 with OSX 10.4.11 Panther.)
Photos that used to come out crystal clear and brilliant on the printer from the G4, now are faint with kind of a white veil. When I try to print in Elements, I get a message that says "Some PostScript specific print settings (Interpolation, Calibration, Encoding) will be ignored since you are printing to a non-PostScript printer." I really have no idea what that means. Anybody?
Text printing comes out fine, both from word processing documents and web pages. I am using the latest printer driver (4.8.3) for the iP4000 (probably 4 years old or so), and there are no new driver downloads available for it. I trashed the Canon software/drivers and reinstalled, to no avail.
Canon Support has been helpful and have made many suggestions, but none has worked. I tried printing with Canon's EasyPhotoPrint app, and the photos print fine. So the problem appears to be a compatibility of the printer with Elements 6 and iPhoto.
Has anyone else had this experience? Does anyone have an opinion if this means I need to get a new printer? If so, any suggestions on a good, moderately priced one for Leopard on the iMac that will definitely work with Elements 6 and iPhoto?

The v4.8.3 driver she has is the latest version Canon has supplied.
Given the driver is working okay from some other applications, there has to be something amiss with the colour management of iPhoto and PSE6.
For iPhoto, as a test I would suggest the Color Options > Color Correction is set to None to see how this impacts the printed image. Then I would try the BJ Standard and ColrSync settings to see how the output is affected.
During the Color Options trial, ensure the Quality & Media > Media Type is set to the appropriate paper type, such as Photo Paper and the Print Mode be set to Top Quality Photo. With regards to the Media Type setting, some of the paper stocks have a profile associated with them. If you use Photo paper but use the Plain setting, then you will get a washed out print.

Printing Problems with Elements 8.0 and EXIF time data

I've been using Premiere Elements 8.0 in Windows XP Professional for a couple of years with no problems. I shoot mostly in JPEG. I've always imported my images using a card reader (the same one). About a year ago suddenly I ran into printing issues. When I imported my images and tried to print them Elements crashed just at the point where it should begin the actual printing. By chance I discovered that if I adjusted the time EXIF on the images in Elements by either hours or days, back or forward and adjusted them back to the original time/date the problem disappeared. If I had shot in RAW and edited these images there were no problems with the resultant JPEG.
I noted the discussions about Elements changing the time in the EXIF and checked for this but this hadn't happened. The EXIF in camera and in Elements were the same. I also checked this against the time settigs of the camera and they were the same. I shoot with a Nikon D300.
I backed up my images and did a complete re-format of my computer so that it was back to its ex-factory settings, re-installed Elements, restored my catalog from the backup and the problem still arose. I'm reluctant to upgrade to Elements 10 until I (hopefully) I find out if (a) anyone else has the same problem; and (b) if anyone who had it has fixed it.
Any ideas would be very welcome.

Miceal,
I am confused. Do you mean Photoshop Elements? Premiere Elements does not have a Print function. On can Export/Share, but not Print. For Photoshop Elements, you will want the PSE Forum.
Good luck,
Hunt

Printing problems in Elements 7

When I crop to a size in Elements 7, the resulting print is coming out much smaller. I am an experienced user, but have only recently started using version 7. Printing on earlier version is o.k.

Hi,
Please specify the image size and the exact settings and paper size you choose.Also attach the screen shot of the print preview shown. Kindly expalin in detail what is the difference between the preview and the actual result you got. Also you could try printing from the Organiser and verify if the problems exists there as well.
Thanks.

Printing problems using a print server

I am having trouble printing across my local network to some printers. This is a mixed wired and wireless LAN.Lan works fine as the windows machines print with no problems.
Printing takes place using a Trendnet TE 100-P21 Print Server. This box is connected to my network with a CAT6 cable. It has 2 USB and one Parallel port.
The Mac can print to the parallel printer with no problem. Installation was easy and painless. It found the other two printers (the USB ones) just as easily, installed drivers, etc. It even knows when they are idle or not.
_It can print to the HP 6L, which is the only one that has a parallel connection._ (I think that must be important)
_But it can’t print to the other two, both of which have USB connections._
Here are the Queue Names that the Mac reported. (In the below notations, P3 denotes the parallel printer port, U1 the first USB port, and U2 the second USB port on the print server.)
HP6L (parallel)
URL: dnssd://PS-700AED-P3._printer.tcp.local.
*Cannon i9900* (USB)
URL: dnssd://PS-700AED-U1._printer.tcp.local.
*HP ColorLaserJet 3500* (USB)
URL: dnssd://PS-700AED-U2._printer.tcp.local.
Windows machines on the network can print to all three printer with no problem, so we know printers, print server, network and cables work. When hooked up directly to the printer (at least the HP 3500) the Mac can print as well. But not when connected via the print server.
Eventually the job times out and the HP 3500 spits out a page that reads
PCL XL error
System: KERNEL
Error: IllegalTag
Operator: Vendor Unique
Position 8
Any thoughts?

I assure you that changing print server will not fix this issue. You MUST have a CUPS driver to print to a non-postscript, not-intended-for-network printer via the standard comm protocols available in OS X and on nearly all print servers. The Gutenprint drivers included by Apple are CUPS drivers, as opposed to the old Mac-style "monolithic" drivers.
* It is true that using a postscript driver to print to a postscript printer would work for the TrendNet as well as nearly All other print servers. Postscript is the native output (well, along with "packaged postscript" = PDF) of OS X, so a postscript driver IS A CUPS driver by default.
I hope this helps you avoid the hassle of buying another brand of print server, only to find out out it is the same.

Printing problems using Illustrator CS6 (Mac)

Hi,
I'm having trouble using Illustrator CS6. I just bought an HP LaserJet CP1025nw color printer. My operating system is Mac OS X 10.6.8.
I've printed two different format files (.ai and .png) in Illustrator, but there are white lines (without printing) ocurring in the exact same place on both documents, this only happens in Illustrator, not Photoshop or any other software. I did a test using exactly the same .png file in many applications, except for Illustrator, the file is printed perfectly.
I asked HP for help, but they say this is a problem caused by Illustrator CS6 and they can't do anything about it.
What can I do to solve this problem? Could you please help me?
I've already installed the latest update of this software.
Thanks in advance.

You need to ClickDrag just a tiny bit, then apply the Shift Option Command.

Printing problem using Dot Net - fields are drifting off specified co-ords

Hello
I am writing a crystal report that requires exact positioning of data to fit preprinted stationery.
I have achieved this satisfactorily in design mode (CR XI) and the report prints according to requirements from design mode.
I have loaded the report into our Dot Net app and printed the same report from there and the x,y cordinates of the output is slipping more and more both across and down the page.
e.g the differences vary on the x co-ord from 5mm to 13mm working left to right and 1mm to 10 mm vertically from top to bottom.
This error is evident in both preview and printing via Dot Net but is perfect in design mode.
I am using CR12 merge modules from the dot Net app.
I have tried locking fields and size and unlocking them - it makes no difference.
I hope there is a simple solution for this as I have been tearing my hair our trying to solve this problem.
Thanks in anticipation.
Richard

Using Crystal 2008, I can explain the fundemental problem that I have with the drifting of the output, even from design mode.
1) Create a brand new report.
2) In page setup, zeroise all margins.
3) On the design tab place a text box on the report with contents "XXXX" in it.
4) Format Field options - add top and left margin line
5) Duplicate the field
6) First field - right click and choose "size and position" and set to X : 15 (cm) Y : 25 (cm)
7) Second field - right click and choose "size and position" and set to X : 2 (cm) Y : 2 (cm)
8) Print the report
The boxes on the report actually print at :-
Box 1 : X 2.35 (cm), Y : 2.5 (cm)
Box 2 : X 14.7 (cm), Y : 24.4 (cm)
Now, this problem only seems to have started happening since moving up to 2008 merge modules for our Dot Net app, but this issue appears to originate in design mode too, although I have not written any of our reports in CR 12 as yet.
I really need some help with this as this could cause issues in 500 reports already written in CR XI.
I hope someone has a very simple solution for me
Regards
Richard

Network printing problems using an iMac as the server

I am running an iMac OS 9 computer as a server. There are three computers (an iMac, an iBook both running OS 9, and a Powerbook G4, running OS 10.4) connected to the server via ethernet.
Here is the problem: all three computers have been printing from the network printer for over 2 years with no problems whatsoever. As of late, all three stations are attempting to print unsuccessfuly with a message stating that the document cannot be printed because the printer could not be found. The error message asks if you would like to cancel printing or try again. After trying again the document successfully prints (sometimes after one attempt, other times after several attempts). The chooser is recognizing the printer and all settings seem to be correct. I have notice that when selecting the chooser the printer icon does not show up immediately. There appears to be a bit of a delay before the network recognizes it. The printing funtion will work, it is just a bit frustrating that you must sometimes make more than one attempt to print. It does not occur everytime you attempt to print, only most of the time.
One more note, in conjuntion with this error, I have noticed that other applications running through the server will run lightning fast and then all of a sudden will seem to run very slow. When working within an application, windows will appear to freeze for a short time and them resume normally.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I personally use ElGato and it works great, and I too don't use the DVR functionality.

Printing Problems with Elements 11

I have just started with Elements 11. At first it printed ok. but when I tried to set it up with Elements to control the printer ( Epson SX400 ) I keep getting a message saying that ICC Profile is invalid, and the program will not let me print at all. My computer O/S is Windows 7, 64 bit. the Printer driver is one supplied by Epson EU to run the O/S.
I have tried returning to Printer controls settings, this has not worked. I have tried to print on a different printer (Brother HL-2250DN Laser Printer) this will not print either.
I have tried to print on my old Serif PhotoPlus program this is OK. So the problem is in my settings for Elements 11,
Do I Need to Reinstall the programme

I would explain you the steps you need to follow if you are giving control to Photoshop Elements to manages color.
Step 1- Select your printer and then Click More Options at the bottom left of the Print window.
Step 2- No click on Color Management tab.
Step 3- Now from "Color Handling" drop down select Photoshop Elements Manages color. As you select this option "Printer Profile" drop down will become enable.
Step 4- If Image Space is sRGB then select sRGB profile from Printer Profile drop down else select Adobe RGB.
Step 5- Click On Printer Preferences button. It will open your printer's preferences dialog.
step 6- Now click on "Main" tab and then click Advanced button.
step 7- Now under "Color Management" section please select No Color Management here.
step 8- Click OK and come back to main Print dialog of Photoshop Elements. Now click Print.
Note -If you choose Photoshop Elements manages color, it is very important that you disable color management in your printer driver.Letting the application and the printer driver simultaneously manage colors during printing results in unpredictable color.
Try with above written steps I hope it would help.
Cheers !!!

Printing problems using a macbook pro and an hp photosmart 309g printer

I am using a macbook pro with lion 10.7.4. I have been printing on a wireless hp photosmart 309g printer and all of a sudden, on 90% or more of what I try and print, every once in a while a line wil print but the rest is faded or you might say smeared. I have been having it for over a year (the printer) and it has worked just fine with my macbook pro. Could someone please tell me if they have had this problem. It is not my ink, I uninstalled the printer and reinstalled it....... PLEASE HELP ME.

You can try resetting the printing system. Just secondary click below the list of printers in the white space, when you are in print and scan preferences.
