Since updating my MAC, photoshop 'unexpectedly quits' when I try to print. Please can you help?

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.

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 CS6

Having problems printing from photoshop cs6 the colors are way off. How do you collebrate the printer to print whats on screen?

you are going to have to try and match your printer colors to the image colors. many questions involving color management and your settings in PS: is CMYK set? set your "printer handles colors"?
for color management:
1. calibrate and profile your monitor
2. set up an image color space
3. configure your printer driver for the print.

I can not longer print from photoshop CS6

I get an error message when I try to print from photoshop CS6
Nothing I've done has helped.

These suggestions are not the problem and I have contacted HP and they have run all the diagnostics and they say the problem is not with the printer or the software. All other browsers print, just not Mozilla

Why am I having problems printing with Photoshop CS6?

My problems started when I upgraded to Adobe CS6. Colors are off, and prints are dull, almost murky. I thought it was the printer at first, so I swapped out all my ink (big mistake), cleaned the print heads (another mistake). None of these measures were necessary. I adjusted my CS6 color settings based on advice from sources like Linda.com. No improvement. Finally I saved my Photoshop file as a flat Tiff and printed from Mac Preview. The print was gorgeous! CS6 is the problem, I just don't know how to fix it. I'd hate to have to use Preview everytime I want to print from Photoshop. The printer is fine, the paper is fine, changing RGB settings doesn't help. Any ideas?
Later that same day:
I think I figured out a simple solution. When I selected the printing option to allow the printer to control color, rather than Photoshop, my print came out better. I've been reading threads all over the tubes and no one suggested that

Yes you solved your own question, use printer handles color, whcih shodul have been the default. If you do want to experiment with Photohsop manages color, try the CMYK profiles, and send a cmyk file. Only exception is if you print to one of the few RGB printers like a lambda.

Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer ejects 3.8 in of a 4X6 paper and prints only 2.2 in of the image printing from Photoshop CS6, I'm sure I set everything correctly - what could I be missing?

Using Mac Pro running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) & editing & printing from Photoshop CS 6.
Have new Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer and set it up yesterday. First thing printed was a
document from MS Word (a letter) 8.5 X 11 plain paper - this came out OK. Next I fire up
Photoshop and open a 4 X 6 inch image to do a test print. I set it up in the print dialog as
4X6 paper, Canon's Pro Glossy paper profile, rear tray, standard print quality, Photoshop
manages the color. I load the paper in the rear tray close the covers and hit print. Now, when
it starts to print the printer moves about 3.8 inches of paper out of the printer and starts printing
on the remaining 2.2 inches then spits the paper out. It does this in Photoshop (any image it doesn't
matter), and it does it printing from Capture NX. I have been able to get it to print on the paper
correctly using Apple's Preview program but that that's not going to do me any good. I was on
the phone with Canon tech support for about 2 hours and they were completely puzzled suggesting
I would have to use Canon's printing apps instead to print - that doesn't do me any good either.
I want to be able to print from Photoshop. Any one every heard of this or experienced the same
problem? Thanks JamesD!

Hello again. I recognize that a print is good if you like it and bad if you don't, despite what others might say, but I will at least share my experiences. They might help you or others who are following this thread.
My monitor is calibrated with Spyder 3. Gamma 2.2, 6500K, 83 cd/m^2. Contrast at 50%; brightness about 52%. My monitor lets me choose blackness level - it defaults to 50%.
When I print the test image I linked to above, using Lightroom, with no adjustments, my technical output is as follows:
Middle step wedge shows twelve disticnt steps. Whitest step is color of unprinted paper.
It varies from paper to paper, but I can discerne at least the 252 step and on some papers 253 - telling me I have good highlight detail.
On the black side I discerne 8 or 10, nothing lower. (That sounds like what you are reporting).
Artistically I am very happy how my print looks - nice red strawberries, good flesh tones, etc.
One my monitor, the on-screen image is almost identical to the print. I am surprised that you can see the 2 wedge step on screen at a very similar brightness.
I also checked out this B&W test image:
http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/article_pages/bw_printing/bw-test-image-2.html
You are probably aware of this since you are printing with Print Studio Pro, but others may not be.
You can print a series of test images:
find the one that best suits your taste, enter the calibration values in PSP, and save them as a custom setting. Then, each time you want to print recall the setting.
You can do a similar thing in Lightroom using the printer driver and User Templates.
There would be some one-time trial and error to that approach.

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"

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 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,

Can't print from Photoshop CS6

I'm on an Intel Mac running OSX 10.8.4 and Photoshop stopped printing to my Brother HL-5050 laser printer. No error messages, no dialogue boxes, it simply prints a blank sheet of paper. I can print from Acrobat, Pages, Word, and Illustrator, but not PS. I tried the usual suspects-trashed the prefs, restarted, replaced the Brother printer drivers, but nothing works.
However, If I switch to a different login ID, I can print normally. That, I assume, means that there's some combination of parts and conditions in my user preferences that are causing the problem, so what are my options? What is the simplest way to get around this problem?

Hi Birk,
Wait, did you try just clearing your Photoshop preferences? If you haven't I'd do that first since that's easiest:
http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-mos t-issues.html#Preferences
If that doesn't allow you to print, I'd confirm that a new Admin user account allows you to print:
http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-mos t-issues.html#Permissions
If that does allow you to print, you can try and repair permissions, but as I note in the link above, it's not always bulletproof way to correct permissions. You may just need to bite the bullet and create a new user account if Repair Permissions doesn't correct it.

Photoshop Help | Printing from Photoshop CS6

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/printing-photoshop1.html

My CS6 has crashed several times due to this issue - and I've barely had it a week or so. Usually it happens when I try to print to a PDF. I think there is a major bug in the program and it happened several months ago after a Windows 7 update - I still had CS4 and my adobe acrobat 9 pro crashed when trying to print to the Adobe PDF printer, it would just lock up the whole system and I would have to do a cold re-boot (hold down the power key). I need this functionality - to be able to print to Adobe PDF printer. What happened with this printers ability? I've seen many posts on this same issue, so I'm curious as to why it hasn't gotten more attention from Adobe. I upgraded to CS6 thinking this would solve the problem, and it hasn't helped, I wouldn't have spent the money if I knew it wasn't going to help. I'm totally bummed out about this.

Printing from Photoshop Elements 10 - Mac

I have no idea if this is more of a MAC question, a PRINTER question or an ADOBE question....
Background: I just upgraded to PSE 10 and switched from a PC to a Mac (so learning both).
When printing from PSE 10, I cannot, for the life of me, find how to change my paper type! I'm used to having that option right from the print dialouge in PSE 9 AND from the PC. I've searched everywhere....I can't even find a place to do it in my printer settings.
Anyone a Mac and/or Adobe expert that can help me??

It does not seem to concern Photoshop, though, so you might want to check the Photoshop Elements Forum:

Cannot Print from Photoshop Elements 12 Mac

Hi,
I have Photoshop Elements 12 Mac (full retail not App Store version).
When I go to the print, the print button does nothing. The same printer and settings work correctly in Aperture. Preview, all my other apps.
Canon MP620 + OSX 10.9.2 + Latest update from Adobe Website.
Any ideas?
Phil

Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements settings
To see the library, click the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account. While you're in there also go to the Saved Application States folder and delete any for PSE. Repair permissions and try again.
Also be sure you have the latest driver for your printer (check Canon's website). If all else fails, try uninstalling and reinstalling the driver.
