Scanning from Photoshop CS4, using a Brother MFC-8420

Hi all, I'm trying to scan from within Photoshop CS4 (File -> import -> Brother Twain -> etc).
It worked fine with Tiger/PPC/CS2. But since I have Leopard on an Intel Mac Pro, no dice. All I can use is the 'Brother Control Center' which allows me to make staggering 100dpi scans at 100%, but i need a higher resolution.
I already downloaded the proper drivers from Brothers site. Several times.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

You can change the scan resolution settings. With the ControlCenter software, just to the right of the scanner "Model" selector, there is a "Configuration" button where you can choose Configuration > Scan > Image - and set the resolution and many other optimization settings for the scans, including file type, document size etc.
Each of the different scan types - Image, OCR, E-mail, File - can have different configuration set.
I'm not having any problems scanning from my MFC-9840CDW to PS CS3 or by using the Brother ControlCenter2 software. I haven't tested with PS 4 as we are moving away from slowly released, buggy, proprietary interfaces that Adobe products have become... (Another whole topic and rant )

I want to fax from my mac using a Brother MFC-7220 Printer/fax

I'm currently using a Brother MFC-7220 Printer/Fax machine with my Mac Mini, attached via USB.
It works great as a printer, but I want to fax from within Mac Applications using the 7220.
I tried going "File/Print, then selecting the PDF pull down menu in the lower left corner of the print management window. I selected "Fax PDF..." but the system comes back with a "No Fax Modems Found.." message.
Any suggestions/solutions ?
Thanks

You may need to install the Brother drivers.
By default, Mac OS X only installs the printer drivers, ignoring other features of multi-function devices. By installing the vendor's driver you gain access to the other features.
In this case you should find that installing the driver enables a new printer option - Brother MFC-7220 (Fax) - which can be used to send your fax. So now faxing is as simple as choosing 'Print' and selecting the 'Fax' option from the list of available printers.

Scan from Photoshop CS4

Hi all,
i have a samsung multifunction printer and would like to use it on the G5 to scan out of PS. The model is an scx-4200r and before i bought it i checked that Mac OSX (10.3. - 10.6.) would be supported.
I installed the printer and scanner software downloaded from the Samsung website, the installations -so it told me- were successful and printing and copying facilities work fine.
However, the installer did not tell me where to it installed and even with the search function i can find no application allowing me to access the scanner.
I expected to be able to scan via file >import in PS, but there is no option to do so, i.e. no scanner showing.
I have searched the discussions for the last two days for this topic, finally enabling me to scan from Image Capture. This is to some extent a relief, but it'd be better to scan directly from PS with which i am working constantly.
Had installed the scanner software and the MAC_Twain scanthru, then uninstalled both and just installed the scanthru, thinking they might interfere, but to no better result.
Have read in the discussions about displacing a plugin and deleting .plists but don't really know what i am looking for since searching for scanthru or samsung brings up no results.
Can anyone help me?

I am unable to print color photos from i photo using a Brother Printer

I am unable to print color photos from i photo using a Brother MFC-6490CW all in one. The photos appear to be in grayscale. I have checked the printer settings, but for some reason I am not able to access the color management on my printer from printer set up. It only gives me the standard option. I have spent hours checking Bother's website and Apple's and I am not able to come up with a valid answer. I know that the color print works. If I print something from the internet of from outlook it will print in color. I know all of my cartridges are in working order, I have cleaned the print head on my Brother, but I am still not able to print photos in color!!!
What puzzles me the most is why I am unable to really access the color management menu on my printer? It just does not come up. I have the option from paper handling to print photos, but this has nothing to do with the quality. I have also tried printing the photo from an Adobe PDF file and I still have the same problem. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you.

In the Print dialogue box click on the little triangle to the right of the name of the printer. That will expand the dialogue box.

Can I scan an image from Photoshop CS4 (or another component?)

I'm new to Photoshop (used to Corel PhotoPaint where I have a command under "File" to "acquire" an image from an external scanner).
Is there a way to do it in Photoshop or do I look for another app in CS4 for that purpose?
Thanks,
Rob

I have a CanoScan 8800F, which I can use through Twain (PSE, CS5/32-bit) or WIA (also with CS5/64-bit). The WIA interface offers only very rudimentary functionality (eg no activation of backlight for scanning transparencies). I don’t buy the argument that I should not tie up a $1000 piece of software for $200 (or so) piece of hardware. When I scan, and particularly when I scan old off-color slides, I don’t know beforehand if I can salvage the image with post-processing or if I should adjust the scanner settings. If I scan from Photoshop, I can adjust color and tonality, and I fail to salvage the image, I can re-scan with different settings, while the slide is still in the holder.
Some say that it is silly to a tie up a $1000 piece of software for $200 (or so) piece of hardware. What, then, do you call investing money and learning time for another piece of software if I already own Photoshop and can use it?
The present implementation of the Twain scanning with the 8800F is suboptimal, however. For instance, if I have been scanning slides and the scanner driver is set up for color transparencies, and I then configure the scanner for scanning paper (by removing the slide holder and inserting the back plate which blocks the backlighting), my next attempt to scan aborts with an error message that the scanner is unable to scan slides, probably because the backlighting is blocked. The scanner UI, along with the tab for adjusting scanner settings, is visible in the background, but I can’t access it because of the error message. And when I acknowledge the error message, the scanner UI disappears. I must physically re-configure the scanner to scan slides, then select paper scanning (in the software) and again re-configure the scanner for scanning paper.

Scanning from within CS4

I want to scan from within CS4 x64, like we used to in the old days!
I appreciate that TWAIN is making way for WIA, however, I can't find a way to scan from within photoshop and NOT have to immediately save the scanned image. In want to just scan and open, and then make the decision to save (or not) later on.
Can anyone please advise? (I have a Canoscan 4400F)
Cheers,
Aidan

I think you'd have to ask (canon?) to update their drivers to do what you want. sounds like a scanner driver issue rather than photoshop.

PSD files will not print from Photoshop CS4 (previously posted in Acrobat printing and prepress)

My questions are: Does the PSD file have the printer information encoded?
Also why has this just started to show up? My wife has work successfully under the same conditions, files moved and printed on different printers, with no problems in the past.
I (we) have been struggling with a recent problem trying to print PSD files from Photoshop CS4. (Vista 32 bit, Epson 3880 networked) When trying to print certain, but not all, PSD files I get the message: "Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer." I have been in contact with Adobe support about the issue but with little in the way of positive results. I was referred to a kb link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/409/kb409119.html Tried all that to no avail. (The first suggestion is absurd to the point of making me wonder what process is used to construct the kbs. You cannot open the print menu when you get this message so....?)
Other solutions are not acceptable for the work my wife is doing, editing high quality photographs for an exhibition with test prints and so on. We are under intense time pressue with four shows coming up in a very short time. The final solution offered is that CS5 has solved all of this. Hum? interesting. No comment except new program, new problems so not a real solution for us.
In searching the web about this problem I have come across many other people with the same problem working from different platforms and even different Adobe products. I noticed that the MAC OS seemed to cause the same problem and that there was a problem with Reader and Acrobat. In every case the problem is never solved by Adobe or anyone else and users find some "workaround". I too have found what we hope is a workaround in our contiued travels on the blogosphere, on flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/wellington/discuss/72157621548183001/ as "...a nasty, nasty solution" but we skipped the flatten part and the GIMP part and resave the PSD under a different name.
Adobe does seem supportive but not that interested (CS4 right) but I would like to find a real solution and I think many people would benefit from it.
Anyway what I have found is that the PSD files that will not print have been printed on another printer at some time in the past. In my case the Printer was an Epson Artisan A50. The printer we are using now is the Epson Stylus Pro 3880. Even when trying to print wirelessly to the 3880 from the laptop (Was Vista, now Windows 7) that was used to edit and print with the A50, (USB connection) we saw the same error. So it seems that the printer information is somehow embedded in the PSD file (also mentioned in a Blog) and is keeping PS from seeing the printer because the same printer is not there.
Has anybody already found the fix?
I know this is a long post but I have been working on this problem and have heard all of the pat and frankly useless answers and workarounds. Can we find a solution and fix the problem?

Just a few examples, since you ask:

Strange system log error from Photoshop CS4

Hi.
I keep getting this strange system log error from Photoshop CS4.
It comes after a wile when using PS CS4.
I tried to chance the memory settings and scratch disc to see if that helped. It didn't.
I also checked all my ram for anything bad. 16GB in my Mac Pro Intel OS X 10.5.6
Everything is updated to latest included Adobe apps.
This is the system log error

Problems printing PSD from Photoshop CS4

My questions are: Does the PSD file have the printer information encoded?
Also why has this just started to show up? My wife has work successfully under the same conditions, files moved and printed on different printers, with no problems in the past.
I (we) have been struggling with a recent problem trying to print PSD files from Photoshop CS4. (Vista 32 bit, Epson 3880 networked) When trying to print certain, but not all, PSD files I get the message: "Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer." I have been in contact with Adobe support about the issue but with little in the way of positive results. I was referred to a kb link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/409/kb409119.html Tried all that to no avail. (The first suggestion is absurd to the point of making me wonder what process is used to construct the kbs. You cannot open the print menu when you get this message so....?)
Other solutions are not acceptable for the work my wife is doing, editing high quality photographs for an exhibition with test prints and so on. We are under intense time pressue with four shows coming up in a very short time. The final solution offered is that CS5 has solved all of this. Hum? interesting. No comment except new program, new problems so not a real solution for us.
In searching the web about this problem I have come across many other people with the same problem working from different platforms and even different Adobe products. I noticed that the MAC OS seemed to cause the same problem and that there was a problem with Reader and Acrobat. In every case the problem is never solved by Adobe or anyone else and users find some "workaround". I too have found what we hope is a workaround in our contiued travels on the blogosphere, on flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/wellington/discuss/72157621548183001/ as "...a nasty, nasty solution" but we skipped the flatten part and the GIMP part and resave the PSD under a different name.
Adobe does seem supportive but not that interested (CS4 right) but I would like to find a real solution and I think many people would benefit from it.
Anyway what I have found is that the PSD files that will not print have been printed on another printer at some time in the past. In my case the Printer was an Epson Artisan A50. The printer we are using now is the Epson Stylus Pro 3880. Even when trying to print wirelessly to the 3880 from the laptop (Was Vista, now Windows 7) that was used to edit and print with the A50, (USB connection) we saw the same error. So it seems that the printer information is somehow embedded in the PSD file (also mentioned in a Blog) and is keeping PS from seeing the printer because the same printer is not there.
Has anybody already found the fix?
I know this is a long post but I have been working on this problem and have heard all of the pat and frankly useless answers and workarounds. Can we find a solution and fix the problem?

Tech support put me on hold for about 30 minutes to 'look up my serial number'. When he came back he started saying he did find my serial nu..... and he hung up. I had already given him my callback number. Yet he never called me back when we were 'disconnected'. There is no excuse for him not calling me back. I have no reason to believe this was anything other than intentional avoidance of the problem. Before he started looking up my serial number, he told me that Photoshop didn't support working with files on a network drive (???). He also told me that even if it was found to be an actual defect in the product, I still owed the $39. The $39 was "not for finding the defect... it was for the technician's time.... (???) Where do they find these people to answer the phones?
Sorry about the venting... I'm just losing money by the day, and I get to pay for these kinds of moronic statements.
Here's the situation, yet one more time.....
1) I complete a PSD file and save it
2) I print it on one of the printers accessible by that machine
3) I then try to close the PSD, but it says the 'file has changed' The ONLY thing that has changed is that I PRINTED it. So you can't tell me PS is not saving at least something about the printing task in the file
4) If I say 'no' to the save-after-print question, I can go to another computer, open the same file and print with no problem
5) If I say 'yes' to the save-after-print question, and I go to another computer and try to print the file, I get the "In order to perform printing tasks you must define a printer" message
6) This scenario applies to any machine. Once I hit 'save' after printing, that PSD can now never be printed on any other machine other than that one.
7) And this is a user problem (???)
Somebody please tell me:
1) why PS marks a file 'changed' and requires saving after doing nothing other than printing it if it is not saving printer history/setup in the file?
2) Why I can print the PSD from any computer with PS installed as long as I don't do a save after printing from one, but as soon as I do a save after print, the file is basically locked permanently to that one machine forever?
Right... and they want a minimum of $39 to tell me a) this is a user problem, b) Photoshop doesn't support files on a shared network drive; c) "...NO.... we don't save printer information in the file, and d) get hung up on with no callback.
I have 40 years of experience in software architecture and development. I know enough to know a little bit about how these things work. And I also have been around long enough to recognize intentional denial of a product defect by the support team.

Poor B&W print quality from Photoshop CS4

First a definition:
- Half-tone: this is a gray scale printing process that is required for an printer that can print only Black & White. It allows a B&W printer to be able to appear to have the ability to print grayscale. The higher the printer resolution, the less noticeable the half-tone dots or dithering will be.
The problem with Photoshop CS4 seems to be that, when you use it's print option, it's half-tone is very coarse and does not reflect the resolution capability of the destination printer, in my case, a LaserJet4. If I take the same print and print it from Bridge CS4, the half-tone is correct for the resolution of the printer and the print looks great. Also, from Photoshop CS4, if you do a save-as a .pdf and then print the .pdf, the print looks great, as well.
Keep in mind that the printer driver settings (which there are few) have not been changed during this testing.
My conclusion is that the problem is with Photoshop CS4 print option and I cannot find anyway in Photoshop to change the half-tone settings there. Further, if I use the exact same print with the exact same printer settings, it will print correctly from other graphics programs.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. In my lab, most of the printing is B&W for court exhibits and such.
Thanks, Jonathan

Zeno,
Ok. But the printer works correctly if I do a save-as .pdf and print the
pdf. Or do the same from Bridge. So, how can it be the printer or printer
driver when it works correctly elsewhere in Photoshop and Bridge?

Print Too Small from Photoshop CS4 with HP 8500 All In One Printer

I'm running Windows XP with CS4 and latest patches and drivers. When I print an image to my HP 8500 All in one printer, the printout is too small. Instead of a centered 4 x 6 image on the page I get a 1 x 1-1/4 inch small print of the image in the upper left hand corner.
I re-installed CS3 and it works perfectly as do any other print options, such as word, etc. But from Photoshop CS4 I can find no way to print to this printer without the image shrinking in size. If I print to another printer at the same sitting, the image is fine. So it's a PS CS4 vs. HP 8500 unique problem I guess.
I've see this post in other forms and no help as yet. Does anyone have this one on their radar. I really like this printer, but it's quite annoying.
By the way, If I print to a PDF from PS CS4, the pdf file image is fine. That's another end around for printing also. HMMMM.
I did contact HP and they put the problem squarely back on Adobe. No partnership there.
Thanks,
Glen

Will the printer print from any app?
I know it sounds like a dumb question, but you didn't actually say... And I admit to looking for software problems on an occasion or two when I had forgotten to plug in cables.

How can I upgrade from Photoshop CS4 to Cs 5 or 6 without buying the creative cloud?

How can I upgrade from Photoshop CS4 to Cs 5 or 6 without buying the creative cloud?

Well CS5's ship has sailed.
CS6 can still be purchased on Perpetual License but it's not going to have all the bells & whistles that the current versions have. Just as long as you understand what you're getting.

I'm using a Brother MFC 420CN (printer, fax, scanner) and can't get the scanner to work

I'm running Lion 10.7.2 and downloaded the latest twain plug-in for lion from Brother. I don't know where the twain driver went after I downloaded it. I searched the computer for it and it doesn't show up. I wanted to drag it into the import folder photoshop plug-ins folder in Photoshop CS5. There is no Twain plug-in the folder now. when I try to scan from the Brother Control Center I get error messages and do what the messages suggest but nothing works.I don't use the fax, I occasionally use the printer and the printer still works. There is only 1 USB cable that drives the Brother machine.

Plug in the usb lead.
