PSE 8 trial Printer problem

I just downloaded my trial PSE-8. When I try to print a 4x6 using my Canon IP6700D it switches my tray from the 4x6 paper tray to the letter size tray even though I have set print options for 4x6 paper. If I print from the organizer I can get a perfect 4x6 print ok. What gives??

Since checking the Printer Properties for the paper size did not lead to a solution,I wonder what other settings could have an influnce.
I have a Canon ip5200R so I am not sure how your Canon Printer Properties screen is different from mine - therefore I might be suggesting something that is not relevant for you. Here are some additional ideas on what to check.
1-- in the Printer Properties, when you have 4x6 chosen, what do you have selected for Oreintation - Portrait or Landscape? I was suspecting that you might need portrait - but trying the opposite of your current setting might be worthwhile.
2-- I think that your printer has 2 possible paper feeds so I am wondering how your paper is setup - which size is in the casette below and which size is in the rear paper feed? Suggest that you verify that the actual location of the 4x6 paper paper and the tray selection shown in screen display on your pc are the same.
(FYI - I am in the habit of loading paper in the rear feeder because the first Canon photo printer I owned only had the rear feed. Therefore, you might experience some differences if you use the lower casette.)
3 -- Are you intending to print borderless ? I think that you will need to select Borderless in the Canon printer screen. (Note that this might be more relevant after your current paper size problem is resolved, but I decided to mention it now in case it is the next problem that you encounter.)

PSE 8 printing problem with HP 8750 Printer

When trying to print oversized (10 x 11) images in PSE 8 with my HP 8750 printer the printed image looks like a postage stamp. I've done everything the same as I did with PSE7 and the same printer with no problem. What could the solution to this? It's quite frustrating, not to mention the ruined 12x12 paper, which is a bit expensive. I upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit a few months ago and had no problems installing the printer or PSE 8. Everything has been working smoothly up to this point. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Thanks for any help that you can offer.

Hi:
What I should have said is that the image "is the size of" a postage stamp...about 1 inch x 1 inch.
I'm still wrestling with this. I finally got a page to print out correctly, now the 2nd page is giving me fits, and I though I wrote down all the settings, but apparently I must have missed one.

Windows 7 & PSE 8 printing problem

I have Windows 7 and just installed PSE 8. When I go to print in editor (select printer is correct)...and hit print.... The printer changes to wanting to send a fax. None of my other programs have a problem printing including CS5. I can print from the organizer. This is a new computer and printer/fax machine. I have spent hours trying different things to no avail. I have had several versions of PSE and always was able to print from the editor. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

I had exactly the same problem with the same configuration; WIN7 (64 bit) and PSE 8. After reading that deleting the FAX driver worked for you, I went to Control Panel > Devices and Printers. My printer/fax shows up as two separate devices: HP Photosmart Prem-Web C309n-s, and HP Photosmart Prem-Web C309n-s fax. I renamed the fax entry only, by inserting my initials at the front of the device name (before HP) ... et Voila!, PSE 8 can now find and print to the printer device rather than the fax device. This should allow you to select and use the fax device when desired, by any program.
To rename the device, go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers > Highlight the fax entry > Select the Toolbar's File entry > Select Printer properties > Select General Tab. You may rename the device name here, whereas the regular properties displays don't let you rename.
Thanks for asking the question, and posting your own resolution. I am sure that we are not alone with this issue.

PSE 9 printing problem with Epson printer

hello there,
I am using PSE 9 with Windows XP and Epson 3880 printer. I have re-installed all programs/drivers a couple of times. PSE9 Printer dialogue will not let me print choosing "Let Photoshop Manage Colour". It will only let me print with "Let Printer Manage Colour". I am using Epson papers.
When I select "Let Photoshop Manage Colour", a box appears saying "ICC profile no longer available" and it won't let me print. Is this a PSE 9 problem or an Epson problem?
thanks !!!

Well, I actually found the answer. I spoke to an Epson Rep!
I used to have the Epson 2200 printer, then the Epson 3800, and now I use the 3880 printer on Windows XP and Windows 7 on my laptop.
When you uninstall the other 2 printers, the color profiles are still in your program files and can become corrupted.
This is why, in PSE 9, when I checked the box Let Photoshop Elements Manage Colour, it woildn`t print and instead there was the pop-up box ``ICC profile no longer available`` because it was trying to access the old paper profiles and not the ones that came with the 3880. I use Epson papers, by the way.
The solution was to go into C-Drive, Program Files, System 32, spool,drivers, colour, and this opens to the ICC profiles used by the printer. Then I deleted the old paper profiles associated with my former printers.
And it worked !!

PSE 7 Printing Problem

Does anyone know why I get a magenta cast across the top 1-1/2" of a photo printout using Epson Stylus Photo 1400 and PhotoShop Elements 7? Tried cleaning/aligning printhead without success. Epson says I should turn off the printer's color management and let the printer manage the colors and NEVER to use Print Preview. This doesn't help either. It seems to get better after printing 4-5 sheets, but I sure waste a lot of expensive photo paper. Would appreciate any advice.

Thank you for the suggestion. I can almost definitely tie the problem to the printer because the "pink cast" happens with other software. What I don't know is what PSE settings are recommended for printing good PHOTOS ... allow PSE to control the printing or allow the printer the control? If I set it to allow PSE to control, directly under that option there is a question: "Did you remember to enable color management in the printer preferences dialog?" Okay, then what do I set it to? Color Controls, Photo Enhance, or ICM?
If I set it to Color Controls, I get a choice of Epson Standard, Epson Vivid, or Adobe RGB. If I set it to Photo Enhance, I get the Auto Correct for "Tone" which could be changed to Sepia, grayscale, etc. If I set it to ICM (which stands for what?), I get choices for Driver ICM (Basic), Input Profile (sRGB...), Intent (Perceptual), Printer Profile (Epson Standard). The choices under each category come up as what I have in parenthesis, but there are more.
What I really want to know is (if you know) what the Adobe PSE recommendations are when they ask the question: "Did you remember to enable color management?"
I appreciate all your help, hatstead, and if you could answer the question above, it would be very helpful. But I realize the underlying problem is with the printer. Maybe it needs a good professional cleaning.

PSE 8 Printer Problem

I purchased PSE 8 some time ago and I am finally beginning to make use of it on a PC running Windows 7 (64 bit). However, it seems to have a problem with one of my printers.
First, for some reason, it is choosing my (B&W only) HP LaserJet P1505 as the default printer. Second, when I attempt to select my color HP OfficeJet 6500 E709n Series printer, I receive the following message (although the OfficeJet printer is then shown to be selected):
Could not complete your request because an error occurred while printing.
With the OfficeJet printer selected, clicking on the "print" button produces the following message:
Could not complete your request because of a program error.

Go to Start>Control Panel>Devices and Printers
Is there a green checkmark next to your color printer? This would indicate that it is the default printer.
Next, open a picture file in full Editor, go to File>print, and the default printer should be selected under #1

PSE 8 Printing Problems - Slow

I installed PSE 8 on my wife's new Dell laptop. It runs 64 bit Windows 7 and has 4GB of memory and plenty of disk space. It prints to a network connected Epson R2400 using the Epson 64 bit printer driver. All other programs on the laptop (Office, IE, etc) print quickly and have had no problems. I have one other network printer; a Brother B/W Laser.
She is connected to a 100Mbs network by cable (not wireless). It is plenty fast enough to handle the printer.
When she accesses the create tab in either organizer or the editor, it takes a long time to open. Then every time she tries to adjust a setting it takes forever to process (only a slight exaggeration). Does anyone have any suggestions?
Also, one contributing factor could be that the program refuses to allow me to choose anything other than 720 dpi for a print resolution. She prints to Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Matte paper using the Epson profiles. Is there a way to override the 720 DPI setting. 720 is the only option in the drop-down menu. I know the 720 DPI setting is not an issue from the Epson Driver. I can select any resolution I want from within Lightroom (which is what I run).
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I just found this thread. I have another solution.
I recently upgraded my router to a D-link DIR-655. When I connected to the new router I noticed that Elements loaded very slowly. It was also very slow to load files.
I read this thread and deleted the network printer I was using that was connected to my desk top computer. That did solve the problem but now I couldn't print anything.
I kept searching and found a thread elsewhere that mentioned that turning off the "Advance DNS" in the router setup would put a stop to that problem. I went to my router setup utility and could not even find that option. Turns out that my new router's firmware was very out of date. Once I updated the firmware, not only did I have that option, but it installed unchecked.
This solved my problem. I can now leave that printer installed and set as the default with no problems.
Also other programs were affected by the router settings. Microsoft Word 2007 was acting the exact same way as Elements.
I hope this thread provides a solution to someone. I sure spent a lot of time figuring it out for myself.

PSE 9 prints blank page

PSE 9.0.3 for Mac has started printing blank pages only. I go thru all the proper print dialogs, hit print, I hear my Epson R1900 going thru its full print cycle, but only a blank page comes out. I can also see a blank page if I view the result in Preview. When I take the same picture and print it using PSE 8, it works just fine (I'm glad I kept the old version). I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, have done all the recent software updates, uploaded the latest Adobe drivers, restarted, zapped the PRAM and repaired permissions. Nothing seems to help the PSE 9 printing problem. Does anybody have any idea what is going on?

Hi Barbara,
No, I’m not sure about that. I don’t know if my Epson R1900 is using the driver supplied by Adobe or the one supplied Apple. I’ve downloaded the latest driver from Epson, and Apple software update says I’m completely up to date. When I check my driver setting in System Preferences/Print&FAX dialog box, I see the printer driver listed as 8.61. I’ve Googled what the most current driver is supposed to be, but can’t find an answer. Anyway, things are working for the moment. By the way, you were alot more helpful than Adobe phone support. After waiting a half an hour, they lost the call during transfer from computer voice to human.
Thanks for your help,
Dave Rosen

Pse trial v12 installed but when opening the editor it shuts down after 2 seconds, what can be the problem? I have windows 8.1 64 bit with the latest video drivers installed. Thanks

PSE trial 12 installed just fine but when i start the editor it opens and shuts down after about 2 seconds without an error, the only thing that appears is a message with 'continue trial'.
I have windows 8.1 64 bit and i already installed the latest video drivers, intel hd 4000 and nvidia geforce 710M.
I also installed premiere elements version 12 with the same problem.
What can be the problem here, please help?
Thanks.
Wim.

Hi roberto-
Yes, its a shame. I have also contacted lenovo support hoping that they can sort out this problem. However, first response from them was 'contact your internet service provider since internet connectivity goes down'! :-/ I am hoping I have been able to get through to them now at least about where the problem lies. I wonder if anyone has tried using the laptop with the same broadcom wireless adapter with some other version of OS (linux, windows 7 etc.) and whether they still face the same problem. I haven't tried that yet. If this is just an OS / driver issue I hope someone somewhere is working on a fix! If not, I guess the only other solution would be to get an external USB wifi adapter but that is not something one would want to do when you buy a brand new Lenovo laptop. This was a big let down for me.

Elements 9 printing problems with epson 3880

HI All:
Elements was working fine with epson 3880.
Problems developed:
1. Would print color pics in black and white only while in Editor; color pics printed ok in Organizer
2. Now Print Preview does not work in either Editor or Organizer
3. Now cannot print in either Editor or Organizer
I purchased Elements online. I do not have a CD for reinstall.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am having a similar problem that seems the reverse of yours in a way, though it may be related. Mine occurred only with the disk-installed version, not the downloaded trial version, and it was present from the start on my iMac. Everything worked fine with the 3880 and 2400 printing from the trial version of PSE9 (downloaded), just as it had with PSE8. CS5 and Apple Aperture are also installed and had been working normally. Then I received the install disk for PSE9 and installed it. After that, Preview did not produce a preview, PDF did not produce a PDF, and Print did not produce a print. CS5 also would not preview or print after that. Aperture, however, was unaffected. Some experimentation revealed that the problem occurred only with "Photoshop Elements Manages Color" selected and printer color management turned off. With "Printer Manages Color" selected, it printed.
I uninstalled both CS5 and PSE9 and reinstalled 8, which once again worked properly. Hoping there had been an install error as the cause of the problem with the original installation of 9, I then uninstalled 8 and reinstalled 9, and the problem recurred. So it's back to PSE8, and try to figure out how to call the problem to Adobe's attention without paying for a tech support session. Interesting that a glitch that causes a problem with PSE's printing can also affect PS's printing.
I suspect your problem is related to mine. Do you use a Mac? I think the reason the problem didn't occur at first with my system is that the trial installation is not the same as the paid one, if only because the trial version doesn't have the user sign up with Photoshop.com or whatever it is, which I had never done until I installed 9 from the disk. So it seems that something in the full, purchased version is causing the glitch. I have no idea why your version should have worked at first, then crumped.
Two more things I'm going to do now: reinstall CS5 on the iMac (should be OK, as it was before I got 9), and install 9 on my laptop to see what happens.
My advice for now is to download the trial version of 9, uninstall the current installation of 9, install the downloaded trial version, and (without entering the serial # from your downloaded version) see if it works properly. Then contact tech support. Especially if you have a Mac, tell them you have heard from others who have related the same problem to you.

My "fix" to print problems in LR (using MS XP)

Having had the same problems printing from LR as many others are complaining about, I thought that I might give my 2 cents to what I did to solve (?) the problem. I have to run with current setting in a while to be convinced that it is not just an intermittent fix though ;-)
My problem when printing from LR was that the print came out much too Cyan-Green and somewhat dark when color management where handled by LR. When the same photo was exported to PS Elements (PSE) in Tiff with the Pro-photo color profile embedded, adjustments from LR, and printed using the same driver setting and color management, the print came out fine.
I must mention that I have had fine printout in previous LR versions but I'm not sure when the problem started. But at least from LR version 1.3, 1.3.1 I have had problems printing a proper print.
As I'm not 100% sure what caused the fix, I don't want to leave much info un-documented, so I start by describing my system etc.:
- Athlon 64 3500+ with 2 GB RAM
- Lacie 119 LCD monitor (calibrated with a ColorVision Spyder 2)
- Epson Stylus Photo 890 printer; an old (6-7 years) 6 color dye-sub printer, but it can still produce very good prints. (It is BTW, the A4 printer version of Epson 1290).
- Microsoft XP service pack 2
- Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.3.1.
- Adobe Photoshop Elements 5
- Latest Epson 890 printer drivers ver. 5.21/P (from 2004)
- ICC profiles for various Epson printer paper
- Paper used: Ilford Printasia Photo Glossy Paper (but I have tried Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper as well with same results)
I used following setting:
- In printer driver: "No color management" was selected
- LR and PSE color management; printer profile: Epson Stylus Photo 890 Premium Glossy Photo Paper, Rendering Intent: Perceptual
. LR Print sharpening: High
- LR Print resolution: 360ppi
When the photo was opened in PSE and I had printed a small print with above mentioned printer driver/color management settings. The print looked good, but with a little magenta color cast, so I thought that if I used a different printer profile this might help (I have no ICC profile for the Ilford paper). So I chose the "Epson Stylus Photo 890 Photo Paper" instead and printed again, and this time the photo looked as it did on my calibrated monitor. I have to admit I was a bit delighted even though it was from printed from PSE and not from LR, but seeing that color management worked in other applications was a relief.
In PSE, I also I tried changing to a different Rendering Intent before changing printer profile, but with no success.
Another thing that helped further was to change Media Type in printer driver from "Premium Glossy Photo Paper" to "Photo Paper".
After the print success in PSE I went back to LR and changed the Printer Profile to "Epson Stylus Photo 890 Photo Paper" (still with "No color management" and "Photo Paper" selected in printer driver) and printed the photo again. Now the photo looked as good as it did in PSE (!!!???).
Now I have made a few printer preset in LR for various print sizes, and the prints look fantastic. Every time! Do I have to mention that I am a happy guy ? :-)
BTW, remember that a printer preset also saves the printer driver settings. Forgetting this can easily cause some unexpected results.
The only thing is that, I still do not know what fixed the problem, and I am a bit worried that the problem might come back again. Maybe the print related changes made in PSE and the following selection of the same settings in LR did - somehow - "synchronize" LR to a proper color management. Sounds weird, but if it works...
I hope this long explanation was useful to - at least - some of you, who experience printer problems in LR. LR is a fantastic application, and I enjoy using it, but the printer problems has really been frustrating.
Good luck!

Little unclear about the border thing- you say it prints with a too wide border, but also say:
When I print the image with this set up, it still is printed without a border.
It's a factor of your printer, though; some can never print without a margin around all sides; this can be a border, or cut off. Good news, though; you can have a 5 x 7 borderless, or with any size border you wish if you print on larger paper, and trim to taste.

Printing problem linked to EXIF time data for JPEG images.

For some years I have been using Photoshop Elements 8.0 with no problems of any kind. My computer runs on XP Professional with a system comfortably in excess of the minimum requirements to run Elements 8.0. I load my images into Elements from a card reader which is the same one since I got this version of Elements. I shoot mostly in JPEG with a Nikon D300. I print to one of 2 Epson printers, an SX100 and a PX700W. I don't use the wireless feature of the PX700W, connecting it via USB.
About a year ago I suddenly began to experience printing problems. If I tried to print an image Elements crashed just at the point where printing would begin. By trial & error I discovered that if I adjusted the time in the EXIF data of the image in Elements, whether by advancing or retarding it by hours or days and then adjusted it back to the original time I had no problems printing that image thereafter.
I also discoveredc that where I had shot in RAW I could print direct from the RAW image in Elements or from the JPEG I saved from an edited in RAW and had no problems.
I saw the forum discussions about the issues about the date/time in EXIF having been changed following the import into Elements. For those images I still had on my memory cards I checked the EXIF data in Elements and compared it what was on the image on the card. They were the same. I also checked the time zone and time settings of the camera and they were correct.
I backed up my catalog, re-formatted the computer to bring it back to its ex-factoy status, re-installed Elements and restored my catalog. I imported new images, tried to print them and the problem was still there.
Before I might upgrade to Photoshop Elements 10 I'm hoping someone else may tell me they have had the same problem and, hopefully, be able to tell me how they fixed it. I know the workaround will bypass the problem but it really annoys me that it suddenly appeared and I seem to be stuck with it. I'm also concerned that, given I totally re-formatted my computer but the problem is still with me, that the problem may be imbedded in my catalog and simply gets backed up to,\and restored from, my backup.
I'd be grateful for any ideas.

Hi Miceal,
Though I'm not sure, but see if Catalog repair and optimize helps resolve the issue.
For doing this, click File >> Catalog and selec your catalog and then click "repair' button.
Tick the checkbox for rebuilding indices in the repair workflow.
Now perform the optimize operation on the catalog similarly.
Let me know if that helps.
Thanks

Adobe X Print Problem

I have a Canon Pixma MP750 printer. With Adobe X installed and when trying to print multi-page pdf files, the first page would nearly complete printing, then the printer would pull the page back into the printer and Jam. After much trial and error, the only fix seemed to be to uninstall Adobe X and install Adobe 9.5. Is this a known problem in Adobe X? will it be fixed soon?

It sounds like a double-sided printing problem with the printer. I am assuming that AA9 is not set to print double sided and that you have run into a default that seems to be the case for AA X of double-sided printing. If the latter, try to turn of double-sided printing. If that is indeed the case, you might check the paper loading. Some paper has to be loaded with a specific side up for double-sided printing or the paper tends to jam.

10.6.7 update and now Canon printer problems

I had the automatic 10.6.7 update two days ago and everything is fine except now I have printer issues with Canon MF8350. I can still scan, I can print from Safari, I can print from some .pdf but not others, I am unable to print anything from Word - they all come out as blank pages. Updates from Microsoft and Canon didn't help.
If you don't know, anyone at least know how I can uninstall the update? I know how to find the updates list, but not how to get it out.

I just want to let you all know that I fixed my printing problem.
I could not add my printer under the System Preference>Print & Fax after I did the reset. But I can add the printer back to my Mac Pro by connecting the USB cable to the tower. When I connected my USB cable back to the Apple Extreme. The printer was offline. I did so many different thing still not working. Then I go the the discussion forum on Airport Express and ... I also followed a lot of advises there. Then someone give out a link on Apple support. I following the advise half way still printer was offline. Then I went to my Mac Book and to reset the printer, and add printer again, and click share this printer. I went back to my Mac Pro, and try print a page, I choose nearby printer (there was never has this option for me before). It has another printer icon with Canon MX310 series-1. Bingo, it printed from my Mac Pro also. I have two printer icons on my Mac Pro, one is the same name as the Mac book. I was very happy. It was 4 in the morning. Well, finally I could sleep good.
I am still not sure exactly what the step to make my printer work again (Trial and Error). But I learn a lot by reading advises on this forum.

PSE 11 print quality and picture package options

I've been using PSE 5 since 2006, and figured it's time to check out what's new under the sun. I downloaded the PSE 11 trial version, whose editing function offers slightly better enhanced photos than PSE 5, but seems to fall short in two areas of importance to me: 1) When using the highest quality print settings, PSE 11 prints photos more quickly, but of lower quality than PSE 5. 2) PSE 5's "print multiple photos" feature lets me print an 8 X 10 photo with my choice of borders, whereas PSE 11's "picture package" feature seems to allow prints with choice of borders only up to 5 X 7. Unless I'm doing something wrong, I'll just keep my trusty PSE 5. Thanks for any assistance you're able to provide. Aloha, Peter

Yes I did restart PSE7.
but that did not help
I also tried to remove all the present llayout-text files except my own, then there was NOTHING to chose from!
So her is one of the layout text file that I use with PSE2 and it is working, when I select paper size A4
C 21 21
A4 (3) 10.5 10.5 cm
0 0 10.5 10.5
10.5 5.2 10.5 10.5
0 10.5 10.5 10.5
That txt file did not show in the dropdown select layout,(setting paper size A4 or Letter)
I tried the following txt file, setting papersize Letter
with the same result
I 8.5 11.0
Letter (3) 10.5x10.5 cm
0 0 4.1 4.1
4.1 2.0 4.1 4.1
0 4.1 4.1 4.1
Since there are no (error) messages I do not understand the criteria to meet for showing this layout in the select dropdown list.
