Printing problems with CS3 Design Premium

I have had no problems with my copy of CS3 Design Premium running first on my Mac OS 10.6 and now on OS 10.7 and the program still runs will except when I do a Command P, the program quits. I do not even get to the printer page. I sometimes get a message when reopening the program, "Cannot handle the request because a modal dialog or alert is active." Anyone else have this kind of problem?

Hi Ralph,

  • Epson Printing Problem with CS3

    My Epson Stylus Pro 9600 has a problem with CS3 printing. When printing large images (i.e. 36x60) a portion of the image would be missing at the bottom (blank) The 10.01 update addressed this issue but it seems not completely. The problem was attributed to using a "Custom" print resolution however I still have this problem and after much testing I have narrowed it down to the "Finest Detail" check box under the custom, advanced tab. Checking this "Finest Detail" check box reproduces the problem.
    I'm not sure where the problem lies whether it be Photoshops new stripped down print code or Epsons drivers. For the mean time I will keep this feature de-selected. Hope this helps other frustrated Epson Owners.
    Vista 32, dual quad xeon 2.33
    Photoshop CS 3.3 Extended (Masters Collection)
    Epson Stylus Pro 9600, Drivers ver 5.52, current printer bios

    Adobe blamed Epson drivers for not anticipating CS3's changes. Like they're clairvoyant or something. Their reason was that it was too hard to take into account every printer on the market when writing the new (unasked for) CS3 printing module. A feeble excuse when it comes to Epson pro machinery, though - it is the industry standard, after all.
    Solution? - use CS2 for printing, authored back when Adobe wrote its software to be compatible with existing equipment and drivers, not expecting the world to fall into line with whatever it decided it would do. CS2 works flawlessly with my 7800, CS3 remains a basket case for the same reasons you mention, though checking/unchecking the fine detail box makes no difference. CS3 is erratic - sometimes it works as directed, but then out of nowhere it will suddenly decide to attenuate a pano print.
    We'll see if they get it right with CS4's "improved" printing, but don't hold your breath.

  • Upgrading to CS5 Master Collection with CS3 Design Premium Suite

    I just bought CS5 Creative Suite Master Collection on Tigerdirect.com. I noticed there wasn't any details about what version of software you can upgrade from (such as Master Collection or Design Premium etc)  I currently have CS3 Design Premium Software (an upgraded version from CS1 or whatever).  Will I be able to upgrade to the CS5 Creative Suite Master Collection by using my CS3 Design Premium serial number?

    Only if you bought the right upgrade.Here's the correct item on Amazon: http://amzn.to/b4XQJ3
    Note the list price is $1,299. Amazon has it for about $1,239. If you paid significantly less than that you bought the wrong one.

  • Printing Problems with CS3 and Epson R1800

    Recently upgraded to CS3 and have now lost most printing options for Epson Stylus Photo R1800. Had no problems with CS2 running in Leopard. Anyone know what has happened?

    >"Unfortunately then I'd have to say all bets are off. The only true test is to print with the standard materials that Epson has designed their printer for. Only if that works well should you be trying third-party materials. For example, third-party inks in general are of poorer quality, are inconsistent, clog more, and in the long run, do not save you anywhere the amount of money they advertise over the genuine Epson products."
    Getting very nice results with an R1800, Inkjetfly CIS, and Red River paper. The R1800 has never had Epson ink run through it and has no abnormal clogging problems. In fact, clogs are rare.
    Getting near perfect matches to the monitor with both Colorvision and x-rite calibrating/profiling equipment. The printer stays on 24-7 so the only ink used, other than printing, is a periodic nozzle check. I am not alone in this, so blanket statements like the above are specious at best.
    And no, I don't sell prints for big bux, so whether they are going to last a hundred years is not a concern. Besides, until someone is around long enough to verify those claims, the jury is out. I've got color prints from the wet days that are fading after 20+ years. Third party inks are not necessarily lower quality than OEM. One of the reasons for the development of high quality third party inks was the dissatisfaction of B&W and fine art printers with the OEM products.
    Of course the cheap refilled/knockoff carts being hawked on ebay and the like are a different story.

  • 10.6.8 Printing problem with HP Photosmart premium C310 printer

    I hvae a Photosmart Premium C310 printer which is connected wirelessly to my network. I also have a Mac Pro which is connected to the same network by ethernet cable. Up until I updated to OS10.6.8 everything worked fine. After that I found that when I restated the printer I could see it for a short time under the printer list but then it seems to "time out" and I can no longer print to it within a couple of minutes from my Mac Pro. When I restart the printer I can also see its embedded web page again for a few minutes but then it becomes not visble.
    I also own a Macbook pro and two iphones and an ipod touch and all these wireless devices have no problem with seeing the printer and printing to it at any time. The Macbook Pro is also updated to 10.6.8 and works fine with this printer.
    It would seem that the issue is not with wireless devices but with a wired device printing to this wireless printer even though it is on the same network and on the same subnet mask.  All that has changed between working fine last week and not being recognised this week is an update to OS10.6.8
    I have restarted the Mac Pro, reinstalled the latest HP software and reset the printers wireless setup but this makes no difference.
    Is this a similar issue to what others have been reporting about a bug with printing under 10.6.8 or possibly something else. Any help here would be appreciated as I have no way of printing from my Mac Pro right now.

    Pengtao, I have plugged my Macbook Pro into the network (with Airport off) and I can no longer reach the Photosmart printer. Remove the cable and go wireless and the Macbook Pro can reach the printer again. I have installed the photosmart printer software under Windows 7 using Parallels on my Mac Pro and have no problems finding the Photosmart printer from it.
    To make matters worse I have bought a new Laserjet M1536 today and install it on my network. Again I get the same issues. I can print to it from any wireless device on the network but cannot reach it on any wired device on the network.Switch the printer off and on and I can see it and print to it for about a minute then it becomes "offline" to my Mac Pro
    Given that it works fine under Windows 7 from a Mac Pro I have to conclude that the issue must be OSX 10.6.8 and nothing else as everything worked fine before the upgrade. I have turned all device off and on , checked all cable connections and also uninstalled and reinstalled all printer drivers on the Mac Pro and cannot get it working. Any advice you may have that may solve the problem beyond it being an OSX issue will be greatly welcomed.

  • Printing problems with CS3

    Whenever I go to print an ID or AI file for the first time it is beyond slow. It does not matter if it is a large file (although ID files of any size are very slow, 30 seconds or more just to scroll to a new page) or a small file, I get a minute or more of beach ball before the print dialog box comes up. After the first print, it prints instantly for the rest of the time the app is open. Has anyone else seen this in CS3? Any fix?

    I haven't tried opening anything as a new user. Is this a known solution to slow printing problems? I don't see the connection. I'm not sure how to create a new user (although I'm sure it's pretty simple.) I'm the only person who uses this computer, so it's never come up. Thanks for the advice, however, I'll give it a try.

  • Will CS4 Photoshop work as a stand alone app. with CS3 Design Premium?

    I am financially stuck with my Power PC G5 and Leopard 10.5.8 but want to be able to process raw files from newer cameras that are not supported
    by Leopard. I realize I could either use Canon software to process or turn photos into DNG files but neither option works for me.
    I just don't want to throw away money on C4 Photoshop if that version is full of bugs and won't interface with CS3 Bridge.
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    there is one, just search with spotlight "Calculator".
    It works great!
    Hope this helps.

  • Printing problems with CS3 in Photoshop

    I have Photoshop CS3.  Just got a new HP Photosmart 7520 not good prints results so far. Need help printing asap. Need to know how to set the printer dialog box to give me best prints.  Appreciative of help ASAP  as I have a big job I need to complete and am stuck with this printer.

    All I want to know is how do I create successful printing from Photoshop. I have CS3 and need to know how to set the print dialog box. I am working on a Mac running OS10.6.8.
    Please don't tell me to call Adobe tech support for Photoshop.  Because I am still working on CS3 I was told today that they no longer have support for it. They could not help me. Very disappointing.
    I have always had a HP printer over the years and loved the quality and clarity and matching of their printers. My old printer worked just fine.  My new HP printer is  a Photosmart 7520 is not giving me as fine prints as my old printer.  When I select "Photoshop Manages color" in the print dialog box the prints are about 20% darker than the screen.  When I select "printer manages color" strange colors come out.  I am a professional Graphic Designer and need to print from Photoshop. Is there anyone out there who can help me set my print dialog box so my CS3 Photoshop version will give me successful prints? I am printing either photoshop files or jpegs usually in RGB. I am printing on HP premium quality glossy paper.
    Thank you.

  • Printing problems with HP Photosmart Premium C310a series

    I recently installed an HP Photosmart Premium C310a series printer.  Now the printer takes about 45 minutes to print a document.  HP support says this is an Apple problem. 
    Can anyone help?

    What file was the problem? 
    It seems that in the Windows/System32/Spool/Drivers/x64/3, the newly re-installed updated HP drivers (with the 2011-2012 dates) are the only ones with a .BUD extension.  Maybe my Win7 computer doesn't recognize them as drivers?  The other driver files in the '3' Folder have .dll, .gpd, and .vdf extensions.  Is there another spot they should be copied so the computer can find the drivers? I see that up the chain in the Spool Folder, next to Drivers there is an empty folder named Printers.  
    And what files (Filenames) are needed to run the 309g-m?  I assume some older drivers were kept on file when I ran the updated driver Install program.  The newer HP 2011-2012  files in the '3' Folder are hpoc30j3.BUD, mxdwdui.BUD, hpc309at.BUD, and everything else is older.  I need to know what to copy-paste to a better folder location.
    Whatever and wherever the Drivers are, my computer can not find them! 

  • Printing problems with CS3- Prints dont match what is on screen

    My prints dont match what i am seeing on the screen when using CS3. I am using windows xp and printing on a epson 7800. I never had this problem before i started using CS3. I have calibrated my monitor.
    I have the standard version of CS3 not the extended.
    I read a arctical that CS3 prints darker then what is on your screen. The solution if you have CS3 extended is to increase lightness just before printing, but what if you dont have the extended version, what do you do?
    I couldnt find this topic on the forum here. I am sure others must have had this problem too. What is my solution?
    Thanks in advance
    KB

    There are a bunch of things that can affect the difference between what you see on screen and what you get in print. It is not enough to just look at calibration. Calibration is a starting point. Here are some things that may affect your result:
    * Your monitor type
    * Your PC type (laptops may not be best for image correction)
    * Your calibration device
    * The lighting in the area you work in
    * Choices made while calibrating
    * Proper setup for using the ICC profile (e.g., you aren't running conflicting software)
    * Proper color management setup
    * Smart choice in color space / working space selection
    * Sensible choices for any other color management changes (if any)
    * Careful use of on screen proofing settings
    * Sensible choice for color management in capture (on camera or with scanner)
    * Smart use of color profiling
    * Good choice of printing materials / inks (as applicable)
    * Good choice of equipment for printing
    * Proper maintenance of printing equipment
    I'm probably missing a few there, but I'll work on it. The best scheme I think is to keep things as simple as possible. Especially if you are having trouble, eliminate variables. When you get things working as you expect, then you can try to get a little more fancy. However, every variable you add will come with drawbacks in one form or another. Freeagent seems to make some sense here...

  • Printing problem with HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m

    I'm running windows XP sp3 on all of my  machines with this printer{HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m} wireless network.Recently everything starts  to print one inch lower on the paper and cuts off the bottom of each document I try to print.I print mostly from microsoft word 2007,and I have checked all the settings in word.It is almost like the printer skips an invisible header then starts to print the document.Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I don't think there is anything wrong with the DSL modem HW.  There might be an issue with how print data is being routed though.
    Please try the second experiment where you blank-out the default gateway and DNS entries from the printer's internal web configuration page.  Open the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address.  Select Networking and then Wireless (802.11).  Under the IPv4 Configuration tab, select Manual IP:
    For Manual IP Address, use the existing printer IP address.
    For Manual Subnet Mask, use 255.255.255.0
    For Manual Default Gateway, leave blank.  This is important.
    Select Manual DNS Server:
    Leave both the Manual Preferred DNS Server and Manual Alternate DNS Server fields empty.  This is important.
    Press Apply.
    Turn off the DSL modem, the printer and all computers connected to your network.  Wait 60 seconds then turn on the DSL modem and then turn on the printer.  Then turn on the computers.  See if this corrects the printing speed.

  • Problems with CS3 Design Standard

    Sometime ago I was attempting to 'unregister' Dreamweaver CS4 (and I did eventually discover what I really needed to do), and in the process ran the Clean Script tool on my CS3 software. Now I can't remove what's left of it, or reinstall it to use again. How can I fix this to be able to use my software again?

    I didn't know about the compatibility problem, but in my applications folder is the acrobat pro folder. not sure what you did. I did a clean install, and then reloaded Cs3.

  • Trying to reinstall Adobe Photoshop CS3 Design Premium - I receive an error saying I need to insert Photoshop CS4 to continue install. How to do this???

    I recently got a new computer and transferred programs over to it (it's a Mac Pro). But now my Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional application no longer works so I need to reinstall. (Acrobat 8 originally was bundled with CS3 Design Premium.) I no longer have the disks for these programs, so I downloaded the CS3 Design Premium from Adobe's website. Upon opening up the .dmg file and starting the install process, I'm prompted with an "Install Error" telling me: "Please insert Adobe Photoshop CS4 to continue installation." I do not have a disk for PS CS4. How do I continue the install??
    Thank you,
    -Kristine

    Transferring files between machines doesn't work for Adobe applications.  You should uninstall anything you transferred over and use the cleaner tool for it.  Then download and install the CS3 suite as a whole.

  • CS3 Design Premium reinstall problems - Windows 7

    I've just upgraded from a Windows XP system that had CS3 Design Premium installed (years ago) to a new Windows 7 PC.
    Most of my installed applications made the transition smoothly using LapLink's PCmover, but not CS3.  I spent much of my day today on the phone with Adobe Support.  The technician took control of my PC, and after experiencing the same problem I observed (that Windows would not even uninstall CS3 - so I could attempt a from media installation), he launched into simply deleting folders containing Adobe products.  I was asked to insert one of the CS3 media CDs (Photoshop was suggested), and he started the installation.  Photoshop did seem to install, and register properly, but it's appearing as a stand-alone product, not a part of CS3 Design Premium.
    Can anyone advise whether I should continue through the individual product CD installs, or identify the proper procedure to get everything installed as part of the Suite?  I'm most eager to get Photoshop, Flash, and Acrobat installed and functional, but the way the CDs are labeled, I'm not even sure which ones provide Flash and Acrobat software.

    It is probably good advice to just start over, but it's not practical to be without my PC for the days it would take to ship it back to Corporate to have the company image re-installed.
    I don't use all the CS3 Design Premium products - chiefly only Photoshop, Flash and Acrobat,  If I can get all those running again, I can forego the rest.  Thus far, Photoshop and Premiere Pro have been installed, and launch without complaining of licensing issues.  I'm not recognizing which disc(s) provide Flash and Acrobat software for installation.  I can't see those products being on the Audition, After Effects, or Encore DVDs - sure hope I haven't misplaced any media.
    Any further tips will be appreciated.
