Strange CS5 printing bug (reds pumped)

Windows 7 64-bit, CS5 64-bit 12.04, Canon Pro9000 MkII.
Many/most files go back to CS4. I just started printing on CS5. I have a way to work around the bug, but maybe someone from Adobe will see this and duplicate and fix whatever the issue is. I can provide file(s) to duplicate.
I have noticed that CS5 remembers my printer driver settings application wide. I also notice that CS5 saves print settings in each PSD file. This may be contributing to the problem.
I open a file. 16-bit Prophoto PSD file.
I open the print dialog.
The dialog is defaulted to printer color management.
Open the printer settings. Check the settings. The driver settings are correct. Paper, quality, no color management. Click ok.
Now the dialog changes to photoshop manages colors and the profile selected is some generic canon bubble jet profile.
I select the correct profile. A red river paper profile in this case.
Print.
Bad print. The colors with some amount of red in them has the red channel pumped up. Many colors are okay.
Start with a new file (one not worked around).
Open file, change print settings. Close and save file. Open file. Print. Bad Print.
Now the work around.
Start with a new file (one not worked around).
Open file, change print settings. Close and save file. Close photoshop. Open photoshop. Open file. Print. Good Print.
So it seems that my file(s) have some sort of saved print info that is confusing CS5 that persists until the file is saved with current settings and CS5 is closed. I never printed before on this installation so I have no idea what print info could be in the file. I did have a different Canon printer previously installed on this machine but never printed or opened the print dialog in photoshop. Photoshop probably noticed the "default" installed printer even though I never used it.
It is rather annoying to open a file, change print info, close file and photoshop and then reopen for all my files I want to print just to get around this.

Have you gone into the "Print Settings" dialog and turned off color matching in the Epson portion of the settings?
Are you running the most recent version of the driver? There is a combination updater to version 7.0 available as the first result at:

OpenOffice and ePDFViewer only print in red, GIMP is fine

Hi, I have this strange problem with my printer. When I try and print something with either OpenOffice or ePDFViewer they print in red. If I convert whatever document I want to print into pdf, open it in GIMP and print from there, no problems, grayscale the way I want it. I've tried printing with the settings specifically set to Grayscale but OO and ePDF still screw up. Anyone have an idea of what's going on?
By the way it's an "HP Deskjet D2430" and I'm using the "HP Deskjet d2400 Series hpijs, 3.9.4b.10" driver.

if that's the case, did you try printing from acroread instead? (judging from the info gathered from your link)

HP Color Laserjet 2605dn won't print the red color

My HP Color Laserjet 2605dn won't print the red color. It's comes out very light, barely a pink color. It's not the ink cartridge because it's full and I'm having this problem even when I change cartridges.

Hello dp146,
I understand your concerns. Unfortunately, I need to direct you to our Enterprise Business Community Forums.
This will be the right section to troubleshoot this issue.
Good luck.

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.
Pat-
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.

Color PDFs print all red

I am using Acrobat 8 Standard edition on Vista, and every time I attempt to print a color file on an HP Color Laserjet printer, it prints all red. The printer's installed correctly, attached via USB, and prints fine from other applications. It's only PDFs and text prints black and the only color that will print other than black is red. Can someone help please???

i They used to. All the smart support people were laid off last year.
Oi, that's only half true.
Marc, if it's only happening with one file it could be something in the PDF, but first i would see if you can print as image.

Officejet Pro 8500 prints only red

In the middle of a job, my Officejet Pro 8500 wireless all-in-one printer started printing only red. Now it does this every time, No cartridges are empty. Test pages are OK, but pages sent from websites, e-mails, etc, are just red. Any ideas?

Hi drbob31,
I see that you're having print quality issues. I would take a look at the document below.

Printing too Red - Help!

Hi,
I'm having a huge problem I have no idea how to fix. When I have a photo I print it looks good on the screen (iPhoto) but the skin tones print very red when using either my Epson Picturemate or my Canon MP600. I got an idea and hit print preview today and guess what,....the print preview is so much more red than the original picture. I've posted a picture here:
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2279/20705091420fb8bf0c09o.png
If you look a the faces you can see what I am talking about. I have no idea how to fix this and am desperate for help. I read about colorsync and when I went into it and hit verify I got an error that the EW-SRGb was damaged and unfixable. I'm not sure if this is part of my problem or not.
I really need some guidance please!!!

Sounds like the colorsync profile isnt working. You can calibrate your screen manually in the "Displays" preference and see if that helps. This will create a new color conversion profile for your display that it will use instead of the damaged one.

Premier Pro CC 2014 - Strange duplicating sequence bug

Hi
First post on the forum so sorry if I have done something wrong!
Currently working on a projection project and have a really strange aspect ratio sequence 3840 x 1080 (Twice as wide as 1080P). I have a central 1080P video clip and then have created two separate sequences to go either side to fill up to my full screen. The smaller sequences are 960 x 1080. See attached image!
I have come across a very strange and frustrating bug. The two 960 x 1080 sequences titled 'Right Small' and 'Left Small' and each have completely different video clips. However at a certain point the video which ever sequence I put on a lower layer will show outputting through the both 'Right Small' and 'Left Small' sequences. When I open up the sequences I can see them both playing separate clips however the video renders with the same image on either side. This is rendering on my timeline and on my export. I have tried deleting my render files but it stays the same. The only solution I have found is by starting one of the sequences one frame before the other and it fixes the problem!!!
Any ideas?
Thanks
Joe
First Image Shows how it should look at the start of the section where the two outer screens show the different content.
At this point in the video both sequences are duplicating each other showing the same clips even thought the top layer has completely different clips inside its sequence...

Right click on either one of the two nested sequences - Right Small or Left Small, and from the drop down menu, choose Render and Replace.
Does that help?

After printing a form for years (in black), it will now only print in RED. Other docs ok.

After printing a form for years (in black), it will now only print in RED. In printing another document, no problem.
I tried highlighting the text and changing the font color to black - no luck.

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth?
Most likely whatever program you are using to print the forms is treating the text as a grapphic and the printer is making black by mixing cyan, magenta and yellow. If your text is priting as red it would indicate that you are likely low on cyan ink.

Flash CS5.5 BUG: The input line is too long

I'm developing iOS app and I include huge of file list as Included Files on Air for IOS publisher.
But I found a bug. When I insert more than 73 external files to compile for iOS - Flash return error:
During my investigation works I understand - this error do not affect ADT tool for compiling iOS or Android. When I include many files to project - all this files sends as parameters to external file adt.jar.
But flash can't send huge amout of parameters.
I googled this issue and found - any other app can have this bug looking on wrong parameters sending options.
Please not - this is only Flash CS5.5 bug, not ADT. How I understand this? I can use command line for compiling with all this parameters and command line compile succesful.

I know that. But it's sometime provide new bug - folder added and it's present in IPA file. But when Install on device - it's not availbe on device anymore. Why this I don't know. 50\50

Dreamweaver CS5.5 Bugs

We've encountered some bugs in what is otherwise a great application and a great job by Adobe. We would, like to start a public discussion to see if anyone else has been able to reproduce any of the issues. Recently, we put a new production machine to work in the office and since it is a clean machine, with a fresh install of only Dreamweaver CS5.5, the issues would seem to be reproducible - rather than restricted to a specific machine or configuration. So here is the first test page:
http://www.projectseven.com/testing/cs5.5-bugs/
There are other bugs we'd like to test, but let's focus on a few for now.
Happy Hunting :-)

My specs before I go into answers:
Apple Macbook Pro
Mac OSX 10.6.8
2.8 Ghz Core 2 Duo
4GB Ram
GeForce 9600M GT/9400M
Touchpad + Logitech V400 wireless mouse
1. Didn't have time to test this one yet but I will later.
2. I haven't noticed anything too bad since I switched my web host and am now using FTPS (FTP over SSL Explicit). But on regular FTP I used to see that all the time. Although the whole FTP part of DW should be rebuilt it is behind even free solutions available in both features and speed and there is no need for it.
3. The "li" bug - Reproducible. My only question here is if the user stays in Design View what would generate a new bullet? Tab?
Loss of Text Cursor - I'm unable to reproduce this one. Only time I lose the cursor is on darker backgrounds where it blends in more.
To your comments on Design View in general I agree 100%. They made Live View to show how the page will render and the example I like to point to is their own Spry code. The 1.0 code would render in Design View whereas the new 2.0 (Spry UI) code will only render in Live View and show up as a list in Design View. With the way DW and the web are going, Design View might as well be deprecated. And I do agree that the Live View builds could be updated. Small updates on a regular basis with the webkit updates would be nice here.
I'm just keeping my fingers crossed about Lion. No word on Adobe's website and unofficial ones have found nothing wrong with DW so far, although not all Adobe CS programs have been so lucky.

ATTN APPLE: Serious Aperture Printing Bug for You to know about

I am just starting a new post for Apple to read if they do.
Aperture has a serious printing bug (or 10.4.9 does) whereby my HP 8750 Photosmart ICC Paper profiles are corrupted in some way. Not only do my prints look horrible as in there are just plain wrong color filters in place, but the on screen proofing looks just as bad. The same file and printing setup (and ICC profiles) print beautifully from PS or other apps, so it is definitely an Aperture problem. The Generic CKMY looks ok and if I have the printer do the color management (which shafts me for on screen proofing) it looks good too.
Please refer to the thread "Bad Printing from HP 8750" for more info.
This is a serious bug that has been proven by more than just one user.
Please fix it!

FWIW, I have this problem too, but with an Epson 1800. I could print fine with the demo Aperture, but when I purchased it and entered my serial # I lost the ability to print. I can't change any of the preferences in the pulldowns in the print window. If I do change them they don't stick, even 'till the next time I pull them down. To print I have to have Aperture find the file in Finder, then I open it in ACR and PS and print from there (that works fine).

aubiem:
Not sure what the EW-sRGB is. What does EW stand for? There are a number of color RGB profiles but I've not seen that one. When did this start? What camera is it from and does it affect all of your photos? Is the photo you posted a scanned photo? If so what color profile does it have? If it's Adobe RGB I suggest you rescan to the sRGB profile.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

PDF prints in red blocks

Any suggestions on why when I print some PDF's either from Acrobat Reader or Apple Preview with the latest 10.5.4 I get PDF's that print with red text boxes around text? I have a color laser and have never had this problem before. I have tried turning off Colorsync but it did not make any difference. Any ideas?

Do you have an example of one of these PDFs you can share?
