Problem printing from Photoshop CS5.1 to Canon Pixma MX870

I downloaded most recent printer driver from Canon for my MX870 and with help from canon support I deleted previous printers in my computer and added in the new one. Also repaired permissions.
Other adobe software will print (InDesign, Acrobat) but not photoshop. When I select print, I am getting the following message: "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents" After attempting once I can't even get to the print dialogue box as the print selection is grayed out.
I am not sure what to do to get past this.
I have a new imac running OSX 10.9.2.

I was testing other Imacs running the same photoshop CS5.1 with the new printer drivers from canon and it prints. They are running OSX10.6.8. My new computer is running 10.9.2 and it will not print from photoshop. Is the driver not compatible with the operating system? Is there something to try other than saying the driver is at fault. Do I complain to Canon to update their driver to work? What is a work around?
Thanks,

Problems printing from Photoshop 4 to Canon Pro9000MarkII

Hi All,
This has only strting happening in the last two days - before that I have had no problems with this function. I am trying to print from Photoshop 4 on a PC to my Canon Pro9000MarkII.
When I print a document and tick the Scale to Fit Media box then everything is fine and it prints no problem.
When I try to print with this box unticked so that I can print at 100% scale I press OK and nothing happens.
We have tried to download the latest printer driver and this has not helped. I have played around with the Printer Preferences and this too has not helped. I have restarted Photoshop and the PC quite a few times - nothing!!
I have obviously missed some sort of setting but I don't know what - help!!!!

I am back and still having trouble with Lightroom. Someone suggested I downgrade to LR 4.1 (from 4.4) but that didn't help. To reiterate: I have a MacBook Pro, using 10.9.5. I got a new Epson Stylus Photo R2000 printer and LR is having trouble communicating with the printer. When I try to print a letter size (or other size) picture, a 5x7 partial tile of the picture prints off center bleeding to the top. The only way I can print a whole picture is the size it 5x7; then it prints the whole picture but it is still off center, not as it appears in LR print view. I have talked with Epson who said I had Mac conflicts; I spoke with Mac who got rid of the conflicts so it can print fine from Apple programs like Pages, or the internet. It is only LR that won't print right. Obviously I got a photo printer to print photos so I would like help resolving this. It has been very frustrating that although I could talk with both Apple and Epson support, when I tried to contact Adobe both by phone and Live chat I was told that LR is not supported except on this forum. So please, help. Thanks.

Problem Printing from Photoshop CS-5 (version 12.0) since installing Yosemite on iMac.

Any attempt to print from Photoshop CS-5 results in Photoshop crashing when I try to enter print settings such as paper profiles. I use several Macs and printers including an Epson Stylus Pro 4880 and a All-in-One Epson Workforce 7520. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop; uninstalled and reinstalled print drivers for both printers. I have the same printing problems with jpegs and raw files both large and small. I can print from the computers while using Yosemite if I print from other applications including InDesign CS-5. I think I have tried all the suggestions that have been offered in this forum.
Fortunately I have a Macbook that I forgot to upgrade. It has OS 10.9 and CS-4 installed and once I installed the Epson drivers, it worked! So, I can meet my deadlines but still would like to work from my large desktop machines. After long sessions with a very helpful Epson technician and carefully going through the comments in this forum, I am convinced the problem is in Apple's new operating system.

Which reminds me, update 10.10.1 is out. Have you installed it?
Also sometimes this works: Resetting your Photoshop Preferences from the keyboard:
Hold down cmd-opt-shift and start Photoshop and agree to "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file"

How to print from Lightroom 5 to Canon Pixma pro-100?

Using Lightrooms printmodule with this printer is a big problem for me. Using Cannon Print studio Works, but then you
loose a lot of great functionallity in LR print module.
It seems that when I make a preset or set up printer with correct ICC profile the canon printer driver automatically resets to its own default.
It looks like a print driver in the background resets everything i do. Very confusing and Canon support points to adobe.
My setup:
Macpro with OSX 10.9.2 (latest version)
Lightroom 5.3 (creative cloud member, always latest version)
Canon Pixma pro-100 (bought new april 2014)
I have looked several places on internett and it looks that there are a lot people having similar problems.
I would appriciate any help to find an easy setup/soltion !
Thanks in advance
Nicolaas

I have the Pixma Pro-100. But I'm using Windows 7, so I'm afraid I can't be a lot of help to you. I tried to help someone in another forum the other day and showed some screenshots, but he said he didn't have anything like that on the Mac.
If you're going to use ICC profiles, you have to turn off color management either in the printer or in the printer driver. It doesn't matter which one, just make sure that it gets turned off. Then what I do is I use soft proofing with the appropriate paper profile to prepare a soft proof copy for printing. After I have set my printer settings the way I want them and have everything just right in Lightroom, I save the preset for printing. And it seems to keep what I have set. If you can show me some screenshots of your printer driver, perhaps I can be of assistance.
Regardless of whether I allow Lightroom to manage the color or allow the printer to manage it, I am getting really nice prints. So I'm sure there's something that you are probably just overlooking.

Problems printing from photoshop CS4 with epson R2880

I just purchased an epson stylus photo R2880, I thought it was broken due to the fact that I could
not make prints from photoshopCS4.... it goes through all the motions and when its time to print, the soft ware just stops and nothing happens, no warning window, nothing, just no print, I have been three days with epson support by telephone and we have gone through every possible scenario. I have repaired permissions, I have repaired the disks, I have reinstalled all drivers and I can print
from iphoto, from epson software, Lightroom and from preview but not from photoshop, I am at my wits end...I have my agent in Italy asking for three new portfolios and I cannot deliver. please help
Browser: Safari
Operating System: Macintosh
Printer model / driver version: epson stylus photo R2880

In conjunction with Jeff's suggestion, I suggest that you remove all of Epson's preferences for your preference folder especially if you are experience some other issues with other software. And especially if you have 10.6.1 installed.

Printing from Photoshop CS5

Silly question. When I tell Photoshop to print, it opens a preview of the photo in MAC OS Preview, with a print button on the bottom right. If I print from here, am I printing my Photoshop image or has the MAC reformatted it as a PDF?

Let's see if we can get our terminology straight here, Philip.
Obviously, you're fairly new to the Mac world. It's "Mac" for Macintosh, not "MAC" which is an acronym that can stand for various things, none of which have anything to do with Mac or Macintosh.
Are you sure what you call a Mac Preview window is not really just the Photoshop print dialog box? In previous versions of Photoshop it used to be called the "Print with Preview" dialog box. In Photoshop 11.0.d ("CS4") it looks like this:
You need to click on the Print button in the lower right-hand corner to get your printer driver print dialog box.
On the other hand, if you are not within Photoshop and are double-clicking on the image icon in the Finder, then it is indeed possible for you to inadvertently launch Apple's Preview application if you have not set Photoshop to be the default application to open Photoshop images.
If the latter is the case, you need to highlight the icon of the image file in the Finder, do a "Get info" (Command+i) in the Finder and set it to open with Photoshop in the ensuing File Info dialog box. Then click on "Change All", and all your image files of the same file type will now open correctly in Photoshop.
Let us know if you need further assistance.

I am using a C310A Printer from Photoshop CS5.5 to make 4 by 6 printsThe printer switches to 4 by 6

How do I get the C310A printer to default to 4 by 6 from the tray. I have used the Photosmart D5460 in the past and it remembered to use 4 by 6 paper after the first print, the C310A changes to letter size on the second print
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Do you have Windows 7? Try the following with CS5.5 closed go to the Devices and Printers folder and set the printer preferences for the C310a for 4x6 photo media and the desired quality. Save these settings, then open CS5.5 and try printing two photos.

Problems printing wirelessly with A_Extreme and Canon pixma i4000

Have had a Airport Express network setup with 2 Macs and 2 PCs sharing the printer wirelessly without problem for 2 years. Replaced the AP with an Extreme base station and now the printer is no longer detectable, although everything else is working well ( x one of the PCs can't detect the USB drive. )
2.16 GHz Intel Duo Core, G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1GB ram

Some people have found that the USB 2 port is too fast for some printers.
You can try placing a USB 1 hub in between the printer and the AEBSn.
Another option
I've had an Canon iP5000 printer linked up to my AirPort Express for remote printing. It has never worked reliably: on long complex jobs it would just stop printing in the middle of a page. Well, now some early testing of a possible fix has allowed me to print long, complex jobs without the printer stopping in the middle. I'm happy, and will test the solution more over the next few weeks. Although not yet thoroughly tested, I thought I'd share my solution now, given how well it seems to be working. I set up the firewall installed in Mac OS X to limit the bandwidth of the connection to the AirPort, so that print jobs go more slowly to the printer.

Problems printing from Photoshop CS6 on Epson 9890

I don't know why when my partners print on this plotter, it makes some blank spaces and not is head cleaning because my partners do it and continue having trouble with it. If someone knows about it, please let me know. Oh, we are using Adobe CS6 Bundle. Thanks.

Problems printing from illustrator to Canon printer

I have problems with printing from Illustrator CS4 to a Canon printer i-Sensys MF8050 (printing
from Illustrator to a Epson stylus Photo R2400 is no problem).
Printing from Photoshop to the Canon printer is also no problem. I
refreshed the preferences (did not help).
Operating System: Mac OS X (v10.6)
Printer driver version: 3.3
Usb connection
Canon believes it must be a problem with the illustrator program; it sends the wrong signs to
the printer.
After sending print to printer the printer reports that the A4 tray is empty, but is is still full.
What is going wrong, who can help me out?

Thanx Mike,
Reinstalled the printer softwear but it didn't resolve the problem.
But your suggestion to print illustrator pdf file in Acrobat is good solution for the moment.
I think something is wrong with Illustrator, because starting up the printing module is also taking a long time.
Did download the latest up date from illustrator to day, but that also didn't resolve the problem.
And you are right.... 3.3 is the fax driver
