PS CS5 Printing on Win7x64 still badly broken

The latest update to Bridge seems to have reverted Photoshop's printing to the nearly unusable state it was in when it originally shipped.
As of that update, I can access the Print Settings dialog exactly ONCE per image. Further attempts to open the dialog result in
And if you dismiss this dialog and try to print, the settings will have reverted to letter-size paper. Once you see this error you must close and reopen the image in order to be able to print it.
It's also back to forgetting most print settings. If you open several images in PS you will have to configure the printer settings for each one instead of PS carrying over the current settings like it used to.
This was broken when PS CS5 shipped, was slightly improved in the first update, and is now back to almost non-functional.
Adobe, can we PLEASE have a fix for this?

What printer do you have?
I saw the Bridge 4.0.4 updates pending... Since I don't use Bridge, I thought at first perhaps I should avoid installing these updates entirely, but I wondered whether components of Photoshop proper might be affected. Per your post Jim, they DO seem to have done something that affects Photoshop in an update of what sounds like a completely separate component.
However, I just tried some prints after seeing your post and (thankfully) I'm not seeing anything like what you are with my old HP printer. And (whew) my color is still coming out right as well. Apparently it's not an across-the-board problem.

CS5 Printing to an Epson 1900 What happened?

It worked fine in CS 4 to the Epson just select Adobe RGB as the profile in the Print dialog then do the same in the Epson Drivers now I cannot do that once I have the color management option selected in the photoshop print dialog this is now grayed out in the Epson drivers. I found it the past that the data is not fully passed along to the Epson drivers and you have to also select it in the Epson drivers regardless of the fact tht you had Photoshop managing things.
This is another instance of very poor testing process on the side of Adobe when they have testers all of who are creating their own profiles for their paper leaving the professional photographer to go through hell to get their first good print using Photoshop.
Perhaps it is about time you get testers who actually make their living taking photography rather than testers who sell custom profiles.
What nonsense this is from day one that I first got an epson printer I was told that this works for Adobe and it should work for me but everything that Adobe does is not based on everyday professional photography conditions it is base on lab condition which is nonsense, in a controlled environment.
I printed my images extremely well with the 1900 until I tried today and cannot do what I have been doing before. Make the improvement but it has to work. You spend entirely too much time improving thins that just break what ever was fixed before.
And to Chris Cox or any other Adobe employee this has been the issue every single release since I first purchased Photoshop 5, not one time has Adobe not left the user to fend for themselves after they have broken their workflow.
It is time to stop and get to work. This really stinks.
BTW I have my worked reproduced world wide and have very consistent results in Magazines and Books and print to Digital CPrints all the time without any issues.
Adobe your testing team stinks they should have been screaming about this nonsense. Now I have to either print from CS 4 or find a work around.
The fact that many users are using other programs to print is testimony of this failure. it is about time you not prove how smart you are and just make a reasonable work flow.
I seldom complain here but this is just too much it would be please=ant to see one time where this was not an issue.

I agree this whole issue is confusing. I have been on the issue (proper printer driver behavior and proper application behavior) using Apple's new print path for a few years now, so I will try to make an attempt to clear up as much confusion as possible.
If drivers and applications are working (written) properly this is how it is supposed to work.
When printer manages color is selected in an application print dialog then all functions of the printer driver are available.
When applications manages color is selected then Color Matching is grayed out defaulted to ColorSync, and the property written print driver defaults to No Color Adjustment (Epson) or No Color Correction (Canon).
See attached examples of both Epson 9600 driver version 8.19 and Canon iPF driver version 2.14.
Epson can and has definitely gotten it right with their latest drivers.
Canon on the other hand uses a special case file (AppColorMatchingInfo.xml) which list the applications that use Apple's new printing path. New application like Photoshop CS5 will need to be added to this file or the driver will default to color management when application manages color is chosen which results in double profiling.
I see nothing that indicates to me that neither Apple or Adobe have problems or bugs in this printflow. Only drivers (and old drivers) that are not written correctly for Apple's new printing path seem to have these problems with double profiling. That being said, do I agree with Apple's approach regarding the new print path? NO. It appear to be an attempt to idiot proof printing using application manages color printing, although it is claimed to be necessary for 64-bit applications. I personally would prefer to use the old print path (like still available in Indesign) where all options are available in the driver regardless of what CM setting I choose in the application print dialog. But it is what it is.

HP 6310 all in one, the Print Cartridge Door Hinges are broken.

I have 2 printers HP 6310 all in one with the same problem, the Print Cartridge Door Hinges are broken.
Were can I buy the parts? is it too difficult to change them?
Is it a HP repair services in my area?
Is it any "recall" for this problem? I know same peobles with the same trouble
I thank you for your help
geny

Hi geny,
I understand the cartridge door latch has broken.
I will be happy to help you.
This is a older model so you might not be able to get that part replaced.
I have provided the HP Parts Surfer. It doesn't look like a replaceable part.
If you can get it to connect and tape the door shut so the printer recognizes the door is closed, you might still be able to still use the printer.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
Have a wonderful day!

Unable to Communicate with Printer message, but still prints

I installed a new ENVY 4500 printer on my Windows XP system. and it there are two problems:
1. when I try to print, it tkes some time, then a message window appears with "unable to communicate with printer", but it still prints. I have uninstalled the printer and the drivers and reinstalled, but to no avail.
2. I have a Seagate GoFlex USB backup drive attached. However, when the printer is connected, the Seagate drive disappears. It happily coexisted with my former HP C4100 printer for years, but the new one seems to cause problems.

I solved the problem. I purchased a new USB cable for the printer. I deleted the printer, uninstalled the print drivers, and completely reinstalled the printer. At first the installation did not work, but I discovered the USB cable was not completely inserted into the printer. Initially it felt like it was, but I gave it an extra push and it clicked into place. At that point the installation completed successfully. Now the printer and the Seagate drive work properly.

I would like to move 2 users to creative cloud, but maintain all the other users (myself included) on CS5. Can I still get the reduced monthly rate? What serial number should I use?

CS5 print dlg reverts to 'Photoshop Manages Colors'

Hello! I'm struggling with the Print dialog box in CS5 (12.0.4 x64). I want to apply printer color adjustments to a print job. I choose 'Printer Manages Colors' then open the Print Settings dialog for the printer, make the changes I want then click OK. On returning to the Photoshop Print dialog I see that where I had chosen 'Printer Manages Colors' has reverted to 'Photoshop Manages Colors.' If I open the printer properties dialog again I find the settings set to default rather than to the settings I had just previously selected.
FYI, under Printer Profile in the Photoshop Print dialog the printer's ICM profile is selected.
Any idea what is happening? What more information can I furnish here that would be helpful?

you have a choice of Color Sync or Epson (on a Mac
in the "Photoshop Manages Colors" work flow, you shouldn't be concerning yourself with ColorSync (or Epson controls)
you do have Adobe (ACE) set as the Conversion Options: Engine (in Ps Edit> Color Settings> More Options> Conversion Options )?
but let me go over the basic framework of this workflow in CS5:
it may be a wise move to delete your printer from Print & Fax and add it back (as well as updating to the latest driver)
1) Open a copy of WhackedRGB PDI test image in Photoshop
USE THE EMBEDDED PROFILE (do not convert)
confirm the "Document Profile" in the lower-left corner of Ps window
2) File> Print will pull up this window (below)
DOCUMENT PROFILE is WhackedRGB.icc
PRINTER PROFILE is your specific printer/paper/ink ICC profile
RENDERING INTENT (try Perceptual)
BLACK POINT COMPENSATION (try checking this)
if you are using CS6 be sure to uncheck 16-bit color
3) click on Printer Settings... and Printer Settings> Basic to pull up the following screenshot
Media Type is the "type" of paper surface (not an ICC profile)
Color Mode: Off (No Color Management) should be grayed (using Photoshop Manages Colors)
AT THIS POINT HITTING SAVE> PRINT is the correct move to start the printing
you don't need to monkey around the other areas under this basic tutorial
if you want to look at Advanced Color Settings to verify driver color management is "off" (for all practical purposes) -- click on Color Settings and confirm:

After upgrading to CS5, printing PDFs has become a nightmare!

After upgrading to CS5, printing PDFs has become a nightmare!
For example,
1. It would never finish printing the file, just the first so many pages. So...
2. I updated the driver, and then I could print one copy only without problems. But...
3. I can never print more than one copy of a PDF without collate mis-sequence problems. It just does not print one whole copy before printing the next copy. And it goes back and forth printing some of the first copy, then the second, then a few pages from the first, etc. Eventually it all prints, but they are mixed up sequentially. But some pages are in order. And...
4. It prints soooo slow compared to before.
I upgraded from CS3
My printer is a Ricoh SP C420DN Color Laser Printer

All I know is that before I could print fine and fast and in any quantity I wanted (while using CS3 Indesign exported PDFs and Booklet Spreads on my latest and greatest printer, a Color Ricoh SP C420 DN).
But now, since I upgraded to a Master Suite of CS5, at first it would never print the whole file, even once. And when I upgraded to the Universal Print Driver, and or any other drivers, it will only print one copy of a PDF without mis-sequencing the printed pages, and it is so slow. It is worthless.

P.S. I think I need to try to call Ricoh or something, but will that work? Sigh!
Yeah, this sounds like a general print driver problem with the newer versions of the Adobe products, not just Acrobat or ID. Ricoh may or may not have an updated driver, but theyare definitely the ones to ask.
You haven't told us the OS... Some Mac users have had good luck, I think, using the CUPS drivers with problem printers when the manufacturer doesn't have a solution, but I'm a Windows guy, so don't do much with Mac printing.

I just replaced the black cartridge in my HP 6980 Printer, yet it still shows the cartridge missing

I just replaced the black cartridge in my HP 6980 Printer, yet it still shows the cartridge missing message. I have restarted the computer as well as uploaded any new updates. What is going on??

Hi - Follow the steps in this doc, to clean both the cartridge contacts. I'd also recommend very gently cleaning the contacts in the carriage as well. Make sure the power cord is disconnected from the printer when cleaning the cartridges and the carriage.
Hope that helps.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

HP D5460 printer. Colors are bad on photo paper.

HP D5460 printer. Colors are bad on photo paper,, OK on plain paper. New genuine HP cartridges. It used to work fine. Have tried aligning print head. Have tried "automatic" and "best" for print quality. Doesn't matter.

I'm trying to wirelessly print to my samsung printer. I've downloaded the bonjour printer wizard and could tell that a signal was going to my printer but it still would not print. Anyone have any ideas?

You didn't state how it's connected to each computer, if it's connected through your router then it should work. If it doesn't then you need to contact Canon and ask for assistance.

Photosmart C4599 w. iMac OS 10.6.8 won't print. Error message "pipe broken" gone; still wont print

Printer would not print. The error message: "Pipe broken. printer cartridges can't move, Open door and release cartridges." However, when I opened the door they moved to the left and out of sight; I didn't see a broken pipe. When I closed the door, they moved back to the right. Did this several times, installed a new black cartridge because mine was low, got a message to align printer, which I did. Printer printed the alignment sheet, which I then scanned in and learned alignment was OK. Printer still did not print although error message had disappeared. Then I followed all of the steps in HP's troubleshooting support (all of which I'd done on my own before) Got a message Printer Ready, but printer still doesn't print. I tried some other files too, in case that one was corrupted in some way.
I just tried again - with a new file.No success. New error message: Unable to connect with printer; will try in 30 seconds. All lights on the printer are fine, including the wireless light.
Can someone help? Many thanks.

CS5.03 PNG still export broken and pixelated

I just did a couple hours of testing on this and have determined that you can't export a proper PNG still from a DV NTSC sequence.
The picture is pixelated like it is half rez or one field.
I used a resolution chart for testing and it doesnt matter if i have gpu on or off, or previews rendered or not it still is pixelated.
i can render out a tiff,bmp, or targa file with lower field first setting and they all look perfect. if i try upper field or progressive they all look bad,
there are no field settings for PNG so apparently it only does one field it seems?
With that thought i made a desktop editing sequence, 720x480 with no fields and put my rez chart in it and it exported perfectly to png.
the issue for me is i need the alpha channel from the PNG file. I have a collection of premiere titles that i need to put in our chyron for a live production.
Making a desktop sequence is a functional workaround for this but i thought you should know this seems to be a legit bug that should be fixed by Adobe.
thanks

This may or may not be related, but its worth mentioning as it relates to what may be a change in the update. I did a test export "Share" > "DVD..." on a project. It worked very well. DVD played just fine on a few devices.
Same project after the update and it fails to share a DVD now. It opens the Share Monitor app and after a few seconds FCPX shows me this:
First, lets take a moment to appreciate the inherent humor in FCPX telling me I've failed. Funny. Moving on...
Restarted FCPX - no change.
Deleted "Shared Items" folder, in my FCP Project folder - no change.
Restarted Lion - no change.
Realization iLife in Lion no longer comes with iDVD - not happy.
Any advice?

CS4 and Epson Printing is it still broken?

Just wondering if anyone has testing printing from InDesign CS4 to an Epson and whether or not they fixed the printing issues that were in CS3 (ie. not being able to match a print from InDesign CS3 with a print from Photoshop CS3 without jumping through hoops)?
Thanks,
Kristin.

The following post from a thread at Apple (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6717978) has SOLVED my CS4 printing problem.
My prints from CS4 now match my CS3 using my custom profiles.
...."Just finished a 30 minute tech support call with an upper division rep at Epson, we seem to have fixed the problem, I was very skeptical, but so far all is well. This is exactly what we did:
Go to you user account and navigate to:
Library->Preferences. Select everything that starts with "com.apple.print" (I had nine files) Copy these files to a safe place, they contain customization to you r print settings such as paper handling and quality settings.
Now delete the ones from the Library->Preferences folder.
Go to your main hard drive, not your user account, and select "Library->Printers"
Delete "Epson"
Empty Trash
Reboot
Install the latest driver from Epson for your printer.
Open the "Print & Fax" System Preference
While holding down the "control" key, click in the area where the printers are listed (left side bar). You will be presented with a pop-up menu that says: "rest printing system". Select it and your existing printers will disappear.
Add your printer back to the "Printers" list.
Close the "Print & Fax" window
Add your saved "com.apple.print" files back to the User->Library->Preferences folder
Cross your fingers."

CS5 prints too light using new Mac, perfect from older Mac?

Images edited w. Photoshop CS5 (v. 12.03) on a Mac running OS 10.6.8 print perfectly on my Epson Stylus Pro 3880. But the same files printed from a newer Mac running OS 10.7.4 and Photoshop CS5 (v12.1) print too light. Exact same printer settings in PS being used, same printer driver version (reinstalled to make sure not a bad driver), using the same .icc paper profile (also reinstalled), and using same batch of paper printed at same time.
Where do I start in determining the problem? Epson confirms driver is compatible. Everything else on the new system with PS works great. Gallery show in three weeks, must figure this out quick. Thanks.

Ps update is 12.0.4 and 12.1, but you are probably missing something, by posting screenshots someone may be able to spot the problem
are you sure which one is actually wrong
do they display identical in both OSes
are both versions of Ps using the same embedded profile, did you confirm that
