Printing: profiles in a folder

all my profiles are neatly filed away in folders within the
C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color
folder
Seems all my software can access these without any problem except for lightroom.  Is there a way to make it search within folders, or am I going to have to trash my organistation to get it to work?
windows 7 x64:

The location you mention is the standard location for profiles on windows. To add a profile to LR select profile, other in the print module and LR will by default open this folder.

  • My Library folder on my User (Home) is missing I know it is somewhere as the printer profiles in it are present when i go to an application. I just updated to Lion. where can I find the folder?

    I just updated to Lion. I cannot find my Library Folder in my User folder. I know the information is there as I can see printer profiles stored in there in an application, but I cannot find the folder. Could it have been moved during upgrade?

    It is not missing, it is now hidden.  In Finder option-click Go in the menubar and it will appear under Home.

  • Printer Profiles in Lightroom 4

    I have a Mac Mini and Lightroom 4.  I downloaded printer profiles from a local lab but don't know how to get Lightroom to recognize them for soft proofing and printing.

    You need to put them in the correct location for the system to pick them up. This is in /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ or in ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles. After you put the profile there, restart Lightroom and they will show up when you select other in the profile dialogs in Lightroom. Unfortunately in the last versions of Mac OS X, the finder hides these folders by default. Simply go into the Go Menu and select "Go to Folder" or hit Shift-command-G and type the above locations. The drag the profiles in the resulting finder window. If you're the only user on the machine either location is fine.

    I had a problem and needed to upload a HP Printer Profile.I down loaded it from the site then opened and placed in the Mac: Library/ColourSync/Profiles folder. I then restarted the computer and restored PS CC separately. I was able to find the profile under the View>Custom> drop down and select it. But when I came to the print stage the profile was not to be found in PD Print. I also trued installing the profile  via Username/Library?ColourSync?Profile folder. But still no luckHelp please?

    I thought I had solved the problem when I came across a new HP App that specifically claimed to solve the problem people were having with iPrint: "HP ePrint Home & Biz", but that does not work either.  It gets as far as registering the App but then will not complete the verification (just will not open HP ePrintercenter.com).  But in that case I think the problem is that my printer (Photosmart C7280) does not have the eprint capability.  But it IS listed as compatible with the iPrint App (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/ePrint-Print-Apps-Mobile/hp-iprint-app-help-not-finding-printer/m-p/827... )
    Must I give up?

  • Color management/print profile setting in LR2

    I tried to set a custom print profile in the LR2 Print Module. Specifically, I picked print to JPEG and under "Color Management" I picked "Profile/Other. When I pick other, an empty pick panel pops up. I use Vista 32 and under "\Windows\system32\spool\drivers\color" there are lots of ICC profiles available. How do I point LR2 to the location where Vista stores these profiles?

    >As described in my opening problem description, I would like to print to JPEG and using the new LR2 ICC profile option provided under "Color Management" / "Profile/Other" and pick an ICC profile.
    I'm not sure what the solution may be. When I chose to print to a .jpg file I see four profiles show up: sRGB, Adobe RGB, and Pro Photo RGB in addition to my normal printer profile. If I chose 'Other' then I see all of the profiles in C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color. If I deselect 'Include Display Profiles' then I only see those profiles associated with my default printer. I know that sRGB and Adobe RGB are installed by the disk that installed my V500 scanner drivers, but those are 'generic' files and may also have been installed by other driver software.
    Note, none of the profiles in that folder were copied there by me. All 31 were installed either by a printer driver installation, monitor installation, or installation of my Epson V500 scanner.
    Quite possibly some were there after I installed the system but before I installed any drivers--I can't say for sure because I never looked at that folder before installing drivers.

  • How do you specify printer profiles in Elements 11?

    I upgraded from Elements 7 where there was a "drop-down" box that listed all of the available printer profiles to choose from.  I don't see a drop-down box in Elements 11 to accomplish the same thing.  I use Color Munki to set up printer profiles and can't find them in Elements 11.

    Both Epson and HP have been playing a game of Hide-and-Seek for the last year or two. Instead of putting the profiles they install into one of the common Profiles folders, they are in the /Library/Printers/ folder. For Epson, drill down to /Library/Printers/Epson/InkjetPrinter2/ICCProfiles. At least, this is where the installer for the Stylus Pro 4900 puts them.
    It was much harder to find those installed for the Stylus Pro 4000. They are still in this general area, but were hidden inside one of the .plugin packages a bit deeper into the folder structure.
    Either way, the Epson print drivers know where these profiles are and show up in the print dialogue boxes. Trouble is, other apps, such as Adobe, Quark, can't see them, so you can't choose any of the profiles from those program's print option boxes.
    The only solution is to locate the profiles in the /Library/Printers/ folder and move all profiles to either the /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder, or the Profiles folder in your user account. You want to move instead of copy so each profile isn't showing up twice in the Epson print dialogue box.

  • Printer Profiles not showing in Print Dialog

    I cannot seem to see the custom Printer Profiles I have for certain papersin the Print Dialog.
    I have added the Print Profiles to Library > Application Support > Adobe > Color > Profiles (and also in Recommended)
    But in the Print Dialog under Colour Management > Photoshop Handles Colour > Print Profile - they are not showing. I have done things like restarting Photoshop and converting the image to CMYK from RGB.
    I can see the profiles in the Proofing menu and am able to select them.
    Any ideas as without using the profiles my colour management is completely off kilter.
    Also, can I confirm that I am putting the printer profiles in the correct folder?

    Thanks for your response JJMack. I've just found out the problem. It seems that by putting the profiles in the  > Recommended folder as well as in the > Profiles folder this seems to have disabled the profiles from displaying in the print dialog.
    I'm not sure why but they are displaying fine now.
    I'm new to this forum and I wonder if you know if there is a right place or method for sharing this information as I have spent the best part of two hours this afternoon wrestling with this?

  • Unable to install Epson ICC printer profiles in Lion (access privileges message)

    I upgraded to Lion and cannot install Epson ICC printer profiles. When I try to install, the installation is halted with the message that I do not have enough access privileges for this installation. Yes, I am the admin (I checked, as I know this is a known issue). I have the current updates to the O/S and the Epson driver. Specifically, these are printer paper profiles for an Espon Stylus Photo R2800 printer.

    The ownership of the /Library/ColorSync directory and its contents changed in Lion.  You acutally do not have enough priviliges as admin to write to that directory anymore.  EPSON's installer does not have the ability to ask you for your password to escalate the admin privileges to root.  You should report this to EPSON and insist that they update their installer.
    There is a way to get the files installed, but it is pretty involved.  I will give you the general idea but USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.  There is a risk you could break your system and make it unusable.
    With those admonitions in mind, here's the general outline.
    1.  Go to /Library/ColorSync.  Highlight the folder and do a Get Info on it.
    2.  Under the Sharing & Permissions portion, give "everyone" the ability to Read & Write.  Then choose to have this applied to all enclosed items.
    3.  Run the EPSON installer(s).  The profiles will now install.
    4.  Change the ownership and permissions for all the installed items useing the Terminal--
    For the EPSON folder the command is 'sudo chown -R root:wheel path_to_EPSON_folder'
    For each and every item in the EPSON folder, the command is 'sudo chmod 644 path_to_item'
    5.  Open Disk Utility and Repair Permssions.

    How do I install custom printer profiles in Mac os mountain lion. I can't find the icc profiles directory (if that's what it is).

    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder. You'll need to do it again after each system update that's applied.

  • No Canon printer profiles in CS5

    Canon Printer Profiles do not appear after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    I upgraded the Canon drivers, still no success.
    Canon techs suggested that I had to upgrade my CS5 to run with Mountain Lion.
    I've tried to find just where one would find the upgrade, again no success.
    I can also not chat with Adobe, probably because I don't have CS6.
    Can anyone guide me to where I might find where to upgrade CS5?
    Thank you

    greg sahli, I'll bring you up to date.
    "What puzzles me is why OS 10.8 only affected the Canon profiles, and didn't interfer with all the others." prompted me to call Canon again. We reinsalled the drivers, again without success.
    The Tech lady, unsure of the solution, suggested I print with the printer managing color
    When I told her I was able select the Canon paper I use, she said that would be the profile.
    There aren't any Canon profiles in the Library>Printer>Canon folder.
    Apparently, with Mountain Lion, the old Canon profiles are not loaded.
    At any rate, I printed a photo using the printer to manage color and got some great results.
    That's the answer to 2 days work.
    I wish to thank you for your efforts and guidance in helping solve my problem.
    Have a nice summer.

  • Disappearing ICC Printer Profiles

    I recently switched to Mac Pro with the OSX (5.7) operating system.  I also have gone from the PC version of Photoshop CS3 to Mac version of CS4.  I had ICC printer profiles for my Epson 4000 printer, which I believe were correctly installed into the Mac, but they have disappeared from my Photoshop printer dialog box.  I have run the Colorsync Utility and it find profiles, some of which apparently show "Tag Size is not correct"  When I run the utility to find the profiles, none of these profiles are listed.  Interestingly, the Epson 4000 profiles do show in the printer module for the Lightroom 2 application.  Any suggestions on how I can find and use the Epson 4000 printer ICC profiles?

    Ramon, thank you for your comments.  The profiles which have disappeared from the Photoshop CS4 printer dialog box are the ones from Epson which purport to match the printer (Pro 4000), Epson paper, and Epson Ink relative to color.  On my PC these profiles were generally good, though not perfect.  They are not custom profiles produced for my system.  I believe they originally came as part of the driver installation.  (I have reinstalled the Pro 4000 printer driver that came with the printer, and an updated driver from the Epson website, but this has not solved the problem.)  The interesting thing is that Lightroom 2 finds the Epson profiles, so I would think that would indicate that the profiles are still somewhere in the computer.  I have explored with the Finder and have used the Colorsync utility.  The profiles are not in the usual places I would expect (subfiles dealing with profiles generally), but by using the Colorsync utility, I have found a folder which may contain the profiles, but I can't figure out how to open it (what application?).  The folder I believe is as follows: /Library/Epson/inkjetprinter/printingmodule/Pro4000_core.plugincontent/Resources/ICC Profiles.  In any event, since Lightroom 2 application can find it there, I assume the problem may be the pointers in Photoshop CS4.  In any event, it is a problem when printing to the Epson Pro 4000.  Since the printer is several years old now, it is difficult to find any of the Epson profiles still available. It is also interesting to note (and this may be relevant) that the Colorsync Utility does not find any of these profiles, except that it finds a list of problem files which may represent one of the profiles and indicates that the reason it is a problem file is that the "Tag Size is not Correct".

  • Epson Stylus Pro 3880 printer profiles N/A in Lightroom

    I just set up a new Epson 3880 and installed the printer driver. I could see the various Epson paper .icc profiles were being installed. But when I went to print from Lightroom they were not available in the print module when I chose Printer Profile "Other..." But when I print from Photoshop I see the 3880 profiles. And I cannot find 3880 profiles on my hard disk in either the system or my user libraries. I hope someone can solve this! Ross

    I have been through a lot of tries to solve this. But after extracting the files from the the file Pro3880.profiles, I discovered that file was in my system colorsync/profiles folder and upon repairing file permissions it was then available in Lightroom. So if you install a new 3880, look for a file of this name and if it's in your system colorsync/profiles folder and Lightroom doesn't see it, just reapir file permissions.

  • CANON PRO-1 PRINTER PROFILE ACCESS PROBLEM

    I own a Canon pro-1 printer and I am trying to access my third party profiles from within the printer setup/printer profile window, but I am restricted to selecting from only the  Canon's Pro-1 titled profiles for example, Canon pro-1 <FA> 2/3 fine art paper photo rag .  All of my profiles are located in the same location, Windows/system 32/spool/driver/color.  Where do I go to change my printer's settings so that I may access all of my printer icc profiles?  I noticed that the Canon profiles have an .icm format, while my other profiles read .icc. 
    Thank you for your help.
    Mark

    All of your printer profiles must be in the folder that you specified.  I just bought a Pro-1 printer and my printer profiles total seventeen for the Pro-1.  Your Hahnemuhle or other paper mfr profiles must be in this same folder for windows to find them. If you think you are missing some, I would re-install the printer driver, which is where the software loads the icc profiles to begin with.  You have to download other paper mfr profiles from their own sites for the Pro-1 model.
