Selective printing restriction in CS4 under Mac OS 10.8 (french edition)

I run CS4 under Mountain Lion for 2 months without problem .... until yesterday.
I can print on my Epson Stylus pro 3800 images with Premium Photo paper (A2 size in the auto sheet feeder ) without problem, but the same image can't be print with Epson Traditional Photo Paper (which must be place in the rear manual feed slot, one sheet a time).
I tried printing with this traditional Photo paper under Apple Preview: no problem!
The Epson support service told me then that it's not a problem of their new french driver (9.0.4). They say so that's a problem with Photoshop CS4 on Mac OS 10.8.
Do you think if I downgrade the Epson driver to the 8.6.4 version, it would be better?
The Adobe support service tell me, this morning, that's not shure to get better if I upgrade CS4 to CS6!!
Have you any experience of this problem?
Thanks a lot

I've no error message or nothing else.
The working bar is turning in the Epson window, with the message "sending data to the printer" (translated from french ! ;~)) and then, it suddently disapears without anything else !
I've just tried checking UltraSmooth Fine Art paper preset ans a sheet in the manual load slot: perfect: printing is possible!!
Computers are mysterious!!!

Printing from InDesign CS4 on Mac Snow Leopard to HP officejet pro K5400

I recently started using a Mac Snow Leopard with InDesign CS4; for awhile it printed fine. Then, dealing with a book mss, I had to get InDesign to convert the document to a PDF, and since that time, the Officejet Pro k5400 will only print in what appears to be the best quality, even when I tell it to print in fast draft, and even set that as a preset. Anybody had that problem? Anybody have any suggestions as to what is going on here? How can I get the printer to print in fast draft? Thanks for any help,

Hi kajuntwin,
I understand that you are having and issue after updating your desktop. I am referring you to this post by MBJustice who is currently working with other customers on this issue.
I hope this helps,
Thank you.

Menu selection issues in Flash CS4 for Mac

I'm having a few menu selection issues in Flash. It seems some fields are de-selecting automatically (and quickly). For instance:
1) When I double-click a layer to change it's name, it highlights then immediately de-selects. I can only rename by right-clicking and bringing up the Properties dialog.
2) Fields highlight briefly then immediately de-select in the Properties menu when using the Tab button to advance or cycle thru fields. I have to click on each field individually to enter dimensions/characters.
Possibly related...
On occasion, I'm having an issue in Photoshop where the tools are off by 30 pixels or so. Examples:
- Paint brush affects an area approximately 30px to the right and down from the brush head.
- Selection tool selects an area approximately 30px to the right and down from the arrow head.
This only happens on occasion and can be fixed by restarting Photoshop. I have not had any luck fixing the problems experienced within Flash.
I'm experiencing this on two different machines that have CS4 installed. My only guess is a conflict with a Logitech driver OR a Wacom driver, but I have uninstalled the software and unplugged the Logitech mouse and Wacom tablet to no avail.
Long time Flash/Photoshop user.... never had a problem like this.
Anyone else have these issues or know a fix?

Wacom Driver 6.1.1-2(RC) for Mac OS X v. 10.4 & 10.5

Hi there,
This is a known issue, however we have not been able to reproduce it internally. The way to fix it (assuming it's the same problem) is to change your workspace (such as resetting to a default shipping layout, and then modifying from there), as it seems as though something about the workspace is causing the problem. It could be very specific to where its layed out on your monitor(s), some exact pixel size of a panel and/or grouping - and so on. However, we haven't been able to reproduce this internally yet - only reproed and fixed similar problems - so I cannot say for sure, however changing the workspace has fixed it for the other users I've talked to seeing this one.
If you are able to share the following about one or both of your computers and send it to jdh (at) adobe, greatly appreciated:
* workspace XML file from the Configuration directory (before changing the workspace!)
* description monitor layout (ie: primary on left, secondary on right... or "one" )
* monitor resolution(s)
* screenshot(s) of your layout exhibiting the problem
Thanks!

InDesign 3.0.1 "CS" won't print to Epson 2200 under Mac OS X 10.5.7

Since upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5.7 my old inDesign, version 3.0.1 in the original CS release, refuses to print. In the Print dialog box, Print Settings area, the Media Type and Ink options are grayed out. A message in the same Print Settings area tells me the ink cartridge combination has been changed and I should delete the printer from the Printer List in the (now defunct) Printer Setup Utility and add the printer again. Have deleted and re-added through the current Print & Fax panel, to no avail. This problem happens only with inDesign. Help!!

Problem solved! I should have checked this first .. downloaded a newer driver from Epson.

Printing with HP 8600 under MAC OS X 10.9. 4

I have added the printer from System Preferences/+, and the computer recognized it automatically. However, I cannot print on both sides (duplex) from any program. When I go to System Prefences/ Printers and Scanner, and then open Printer Queue/ PrinterSetting, I can se only General and Supplies Levels, but no Options.
Please, advise how to set up the printer to print double sides.

It may be a command that needs to come out of your print command.

AVCHD in CS4 working realtime only under MAC OS X

Even Dual Xeon (8 cores) MAC Pro with 8 GB RAM is not a realtime AVCHD playback machine in CS4, under any Microsoft OS.
I tested the same AVCHD footage under MAC OS X Leopard in CS4 and under Windows Vista on the same MAC hardware and the result is smooth realtime playback under MAC OS X and NO realtime playback at all under Windows Vista 64 bit SP1.
I guess that is the reason that in Adobe they use MAC based system for demonstration of AVCHD in CS4 !!!
For example: In the link http://tv.adobe.com/#vi+f1510v1000, Dave works in CS4 under Mac OS X, not under Microsoft OS.
Any other smooth playback experience under Windows Vista with AVCHD footage on MAC PRO dual Xeon?

Did you get this resolved..
I am using Internet Explorer v. 5.2 on Mac OS X v.10.2.8. I have successfully run an applet, using jre 1.3.1 which implements the "showDocument" method and opens a new page.

Cannot print to Adobe PDF from InDesign CS4 under Snow Leopard (10.6.2)

Hello All,
Hopefully the subject line says all. Running SL and CS4, and after manually deleting the "old" Adobe PDF 9.0 driver, I am unable to print to PDF — or select "Save As Adobe PDF" under the Mac OS print dialog. This is insanely frustrating on may levels, as this was once a 3-minute operation and now has stretched into two days of futile searching for a solution.
There is a "tech doc" somewhere out there that offers a "solution". But beware, as it has not worked for me. Once you manually search for and remove the Adobe PDF 9.0 driver, you are supposed to magically be able to select the "Save As Adobe PDF" option. This is not the case for me.
Am trying to print, once again, from InDesign CS4 (NOT via the Export command as that will not allow me to set page size, or print separations). There is no Adobe PDF driver there anymore and there is no option to print PDFs. Of course, I can rest easier with the knowledge that everything is easier now in SL.

For a long time I was printing out of InDesign CS4 to a PS file and Distilling to a PDF, either composite or separated. Then Snow Leopard came along and that workflow seemed no longer available. It seems some well meaning people didn't understand a professional DTP workflow.
I had to work between two Macs to create a project and then make separations.
Eventually I went back to the Adobe InDesign forums and folks insisted that a Adobe PDF 9 printer should be available in my print drivers.
On that suggestion I completely uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and then reinstalled it.
It worked, I had the PDF printer back and can now print to a postscript file and do separations as I always have.
(Another story is that Snow Leopard killed my Epson 2200 printer)
At one stage I did an update of Acrobat 9 and it caused me to lose the Adobe printer again. Going through the procedure again brought it back and this time after a Acrobat 9 update it stuck.
In my opinion somebody screwed up. It's not enough to be able to create PDFs out of Microsoft Word. There are people out here trying to make a living and need to be able to create print separations for some offset printers.

Unable to print from a Mac using Maverick 10.9.2 on an Epson Photo printer with Photoshop CS4. Can you help?

I am trying to print in Photoshop CS4 on an Epson Photo printer (3880) from my Mac. I just upgraded to Maverick 10.9.2 when the problem started. Can you help.

I have the answer. It took quite a while but I know why the 3880 won't print from Photoshop 4 with Maverick. It is due to the Epson .icc page description files. The way to solve the problem is to make your own .icc. OK, so you don't know how to do it. This is what I did so now I get the quality prints I expect from an expensive printer.
You need to go to www.datacolor.com/spyderprint and purchase the Spyderprint hardware and software. It comes as a package for $300 to $350 depending on if you get a sale. The software will print on the 3880 test sheets of color blocks. With the hardware reader you then read the colors on the test sheets printed. What this does is match the monitor image with the printer, ink and paper you used. It makes an .icc page description file for you to select instead of the Epson .icc file. When you print again select the new .icc file and also choose "Printer Manages Colors" instead of "Photoshop Manages Colors" I know this is usual but it works. When you are done you will be smiling too with your beautiful results.
One other thing. If you want, it is optional, also purchase the Spider 4 Pro for $150. It calibrates your monitor and helps make excellent prints.
I understand it is more money and you already probably have a good computer, expensive camera to go with the 3880 so spend the extra money so it all works together.
I hope this helps.

Printing PDF with Acrobat 9.0 for CS4 and Mac OSx10.6.2 not working properly.

I downloaded the CS4 for MAC Trial before purchasing. I work on a MacBook Pro OSx10.6.2. The download and installation was successful.
However, upon launching the Adobe Acrobat 9.0 software, I received the following message: "REPAIR SETUP: Acrobat has detected that there are missing components that require repair. Select the optional components you would like to repair and click continue." My choices were: 1) Adobe PDF Printer, and 2) Adobe PDF View Safari Plugin. I chose Continue. When I am in another program (like Quark 7.5), and try to Print to the Adobe 9.0 Printer, the document spools, as if printing, but I do not get prompted to save the PDF anywhere, and when it is done "printing" there is not a document saved anywhere. It appears to be getting stuck in the distilled, although I don't really know. I tried un-installing the entire CS4 software and re-installing and had the same exact thing happen again. Can anyone help?

Do as I do on some items. Install a utility called TypeIt4Me the go to the announcement. Copy the link. choose add clipping give it a name put / or \ at the end so it you type the same words normally it don't trigger the typeIt4Me entry. then when you need to type the words (code used) and wait for TypeIt4Me enter it. the item highlighted in my attachment is this:

Printing to Parallel or Serial Port Printers Under Mac OS X?

Sorry for this slightly off-topic subject, but I don't felt like adding the topic under the Apple Printer Forum.
I would like to use an Epson Stylus Color II on a G3 running Mac OS X Jaguar, or a G3/BW running Panther. The problem is that Mac OS X does not support printers attached to the serial port, or that the printers are not supported under Mac OS X.
I have a similar issue with my Laserwriter 310 Select, and Imagewriter.
I did some investigating and it seems that there is an alternative between (a) using the printers on a Mac running Classic OS; or (b) using GimpPrint, an adapter Parallel-USB, etc.
The problem is that I have a tight operating budget, and already several Macs running Classic OS. So it would seem reasonable enough to delegate the printing job to those Macs through Ethernet network.
The (b) solution is appealing because it is more straightforward and provides direct Mac OS X operation, which is handy in case you are printing from Mac OS X applications.
I would be grateful for your help and advice, both in terms of finance and hardware. Thank you!
- Frederic.

Here's an eBay auction item that has a good picture of PhoneNet adaptors:
PhoneNet adapters
These are newer Farallons like I have. I have no idea what the "self-terminating locking connectors" are. Maybe Grant knows. Notice that each connector has two phone jacks; you can see the little terminators in a couple of the jacks. These are required if you use only one port. LocalTalk allowed daisy-chaining of computers and devices and that's when you would use both ports.
Here's a listing for an older style Farallon:
<a href-"http://cgi.ebay.com/5-Pack-of-PhoneNet-LocalTalk-Adapters_W0QQitemZ300016 248683QQihZ020QQcategoryZ51046QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohos ting">Old Farallon adapter
I recommend the newer style shown in the first listing; we had some of the old ones at the office quit working. The newer style has been more reliable.
Here is the AAUI-to-ethernet transceiver (adaptor) for older MAcs with only an AAUI port:
Transceiver
I can't find a picture of the Farallon ePrint LocalTalk-to-Ethernet adaptor but the link in my first response shows the currently available unit from Asante. IF you find a Farallon ePrint, make certain it is labeled "LT." There is another with, I think, "SW" that only works with StyleWriter printers.

Why does Acrobot Pro no longer deliver correctly PDF printed results under Mac OS 10.4 and 10.5 ?

Hello!
When printing with Panther (Mac 10.3.9), my PDF printouts were always correct. Now, under Mac operating systems 10.4 and 10.5 the printouts from the ink jet printer are unusable – they are by at least 15% too dark, dark areas are slurred and oversaturated (all data RGB, CMYK)
- when compared to the print preview in Acrobat, InDesign or Photoshop
- compared to soft proof resp. print preview representing the ICC paper profile
- compared to the output from Photoshop, i.e. by opening the PDF file in PS to be printed under the same parameters
- compared to the PDF files which were printed under MAC 10.3.9 which are in line with the view on the screen and the printout made from the PDF opened under Photoshop
- i.e. Under Panther printout work, as generally under Photoshop – even under 10.4 and 10.5. According to my information, it also works under Windows XP.
The problem I am talking about occurs under an RGB print workflow with mixed data, RGB and CMYK, converted into the ICC output content or embedded profiles, self-created PDF files or official test charts.
It does not make any difference where PDFs came from (InDesign-Export CS2/3 or Postscript / Distiller) or which output profile or paper was used. The problem started once I had installed 10.4 on my G4 (Acrobat 7). The same under Acrobat 8 and 9 as well as under the Intel-Mac and Acrobat 9.
The only solution I have at the moment is an external bootable hard disk operative under Panther OS to generate correct PDF printouts now.
Thank you for your help,
Peter!

First try downloading the latest Driver for your printer.
then go to printer Utilityand delete the current listing for your printer. Quit Printer Utility
next install new Driver downloaded from Manufacturer
finally go back to Printer Utility and add the print Driver for your Printer.
Now open Acrobat.
choose a Document that you have been trying to print causing issues
print one or two pages of the document, choose pages that seem to cause the most problem.
check results.
if still an issue try the following:
adjust the items in one of these windows:

Honouring the selected Printer on Mac - how ?

Hi All,
I have the following snippit of code to first prompt the user with a print dialog, then print the currently opened PDF document.
My issue is, while settings (such as page range, duplex, etc) are all being applied - the selected printer isn't and this is causing issues
1) On one test machine - it's just not printing   (I suspect, because we initially set up the wrong printer - deleted it and added the correct one)
2) On my machine - it's always printing to my first printer even when I select one of my alternative printers.
I have the following code :
    PMSessionPrintDialog (printer_printSession, printer_printSettings, printer_pageFormat, &accepted);
    if(accepted)
        printer_rec.printSession = printer_printSession;
        printer_rec.printSettings = printer_printSettings;
        printer_rec.pageFormat = printer_pageFormat;
        UInt32 first, last, numCopies;
        PMGetFirstPage(printer_printSettings, &first);
        printer_rec.startPage = first-1;    // mac defines first page as 1, PDFL as 0
        PMGetLastPage(printer_printSettings, &last);
        if( last < first ) last = first;
        printer_rec.endPage = last-1;       // endPage is not inclusive.
        PMGetCopies(printer_printSettings, &numCopies);
        printer_rec.nCopies = numCopies;    }
Then, the actual print
    DURING
PDFLPrintDoc(doc, &printer_rec);
        success = true;
    HANDLER
        handle_PDF_Error( out );
    END_HANDLER
What am I missing so that on Mac it honours the printer the user select on Mac ?
Note : On windows, you set the 'deviceName' and 'portName'.    What's the equivalent on Mac ?
thanks
Kent.

As this is a PDFL question, you are best sending it through your designated support mechanism.

Using Mac 0S X Yosemite, in Print Setting when I select layout / arrows select print settings / there is no Basic drop down box to set color management on or off. I'm using Artisan 835 printer.

Using Mac 0S X Yosemite, in Print Setting when I select layout / arrows select print settings / there is no Basic drop down box to set color management on or off. I'm using Artisan 835 printer.

No - I got the iMac 27 because it was calibrated at the factory(?) and was highly recommended by friends and photographers. No complaints at all, but this printer issue is driving me crazy. I was thinking that if I upgraded to an epson pro printer ICC profile will be on there website. I can't find any for the 835. By the way I didn't calibrate the old dell monitor either and I have had several photos published with no problem at all. Just a note, on epson website there are no printer stating they will run with 10.10 Yosemite. I was looking at the R2000 series. Right now I editing photos that I have to have ready by Jan, maybe by then epson will have something ready.

But I can't find something similar in the printer setup under Mac OS. Any idea?

Got a problem with connecting my daughter's Macbook to a HP printer in the LAN at home. For PC running on Win7, I can specify the printer's TCP/IP port under printer setup to establish the LAN connection. But I can't find something similar in the printer setup under Mac OS. Any ideas? Thanks

It looks like the developer's of that app, or Apple, have got the wrong search name for it in the store - you could try contacting the developer and pointing it out to them so that they can get it corrected. Currently it looks like you can only find the app either by using the link (as you've included in your post), or by searching for the developer's name (Page Foundry Inc) in the store.
For searching the store, when you search for something then the first result(s) should be those whose title matches what you searched for - so if you search for 'ebook reader' then as there is an app with that exact name it will be first in the results, other apps will then be listed after it.

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. Any tips on how to do this?

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. I installed the current Bonjour printer services software on the Windows machine, and separately installed the driver software for the Epson printer on the WIndows machine. Running the bonjour wizard, I get an alert saying 'I don't have sufficient access to my computer to connect to the selected printer'.
The printer has 'sharing' turned on from the Mac end; this works with a Powerbook via the wireless connection. Sharing is also turned on in the Windows printer control panel for this printer (under properties). The Mac is a G5 running 10.5.8. When I try to print a page from the Windows machine it gets hung in the print queue.
Any advice how to proceed would be appreciated!
