Striping in Photoshop Elements 7 photo prints

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. My PC runs Windows 7 Professional (64 bit). For years, I have produced high quality prints with my Epson Stylus Photo R280 printer. Not so recently.
The printer began depositing a colored stripe at the top and bottom of my photos (portrait orientation). And, horizontal streaking began appearing evenly spaced from top to bottom.
I called Epson tech support. The techie put me through many troubleshooting steps. The nozzle check pattern was fine, so she had me print using Photoshop Elements 7 and using Windows Picture Viewer. Both prints had the same issues - horizontal striping from top to bottom and wider stripes at the top of the page and bottom. She concluded that the problem is Elements!
Can anyone shed light on how Elements 7 could be the culprit and what I can do to fix it. I love the printer and Elements but I cannot continue throwing money at paper and ink to test the printer.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Thanks for the suggestion about getting a new printer. I had hoped that Epson would be able to tell me if my printer is toast and send me off shopping. But, they have not been so helpful.
If you have any suggestions, I am all ears. I have been trying to decide whether to purchase a printer that uses pigment inks or purchase one that uses dye inks. My Epson Stylus Photo R280 uses dye inks and recipients of my photos are in awe of the quality. I have limited experience with the new printers of today. The Canon Pixma MG 5420 does a nice job but it's prints are not as vibrant as the Epson that is dying (or dead). The Canon uses pigment inks (Magenta, Yellow, Cyan, Black and Photo Black).

Photoshop elements not printing correct image size

My photoshop elements 12 prints images larger than called for by the settings. A 3" square image, for example, printed at "actual size" comes out at about 3.5 inches. This is a new problem, as I've use PSE for years without it happening. I figure I must have unknowingly changed a setting somewhere, but can't figure it out. Any suggestions?

I did that, and also reinstalled PSE, both to no avail. Here's a shot of the print dialog. I don't know where the numbers shown by my arrow came from, or how to change them, but when I print the page, and the photo I am printing, are scaled up to 11x8.5, thereby expanding the image proportionately. This particular image is 3x2 inches actual, but comes out 3.75x2.5 inches. There seems to be a built-in border of some sort that I've never had to deal with before.

Adobe photoshop elements 10 - printer install

Just downloaded free trial of Photoshop elements 10. When going to print it is asking me to install a printer. My printer is a Xerox Phaser. I have managed to print a couple of times from editing side of elements, so my printer is obviously installed, but now just keeps saying that I need to install a printer. Having looked on this forum it seems that this is a common problem with elements but no advice that is given on this seems to sort out the problem. I have previously had Adobe photoshop CS6 on the computer and had no problem whatsoever with printing. Help please

The only other suggestion is to check the print drivers. PSE10 will rely upon the latest printer drivers being installed. Some manufactures have web sites which enable you to run a scan to ensure you have the latest drivers. Apart from that I’m out of ideas, except to use the dedicated printer, or uninstall and re-install Photoshop Elements or print single images from the Editor. I can understand the frustrations because others have experienced similar problems where the printer works perfectly with all other application except Photoshop Elements.

Photoshop elements (photo editor) does not start

Photoshop elements (photo editor) does not start after replacement of the mainboard of the computer.
We uninstalled the software and reinstalled it but it still refuses to work.
System is Windows7 64 bits

I have the same problem, does no one from Adobe look at this forum? I have done the mentioned things and nothing works. I am trying to get a project done and this very frustrating. I too should have gone with a Mac

Photoshop Elements 9 prints and Previews are blank

Recently installed Elements (not the trial, the paid version) on a new MacBook Pro, and it not only won't print, the Print Preview is blank. Wondering if it was the document, so I created a new document with Elements, painted a few strokes, and tried printing again. Same result. The Print Preview is blank. The thumbnail of the image DOES show up in the Print dialog box. I re-installed the software. I deleted and re-installed the printer. I restarted the computer. All other apps are able to print, and Preview app is able to print the same documents that Elements will not print. I've been doing IT for years, and I've never seen anything like this. Any suggestions?

I may have just found a solution. In the print dialog box, under more options, colour management...if i leave the Colour Handling to Photoshop and change Printer Profile to Apple RGB or to my Printer colour profile then I could print. However, colour is off although it looked nice in print preview. So, instead I downloaded ICC Colour Profile for Mac from adobe and change back the Printer Profile to Adobe RGB(1998) which is same as above Image Space profile.
And I am quite satisfied with the print output.

Yes, sorry for the confusion. Normally i go to the web link to post message but it didn't work this time, so i replied directly from email and that seem to be ok.
Anyway, my printer is Canon MG5240. After reading your thread, I installed updated driver from Apple (printer driver for Mac) and when still cannot print, I called a canon rep here and asked about it and he said to go into canon website only. So I loaded driver from Canon website which also didn't seem to change anything. When I was using Elements 9 trial version i did not have problem printing from the software.

Photoshop Elements 10 printing

Why is it that in the Photoshop Elements 10 print menu, the print quality option always shows 720 dpi even though the settings in the Epson printer menu are higher?

I appreciate that but the dpi still has a bearing on the quality of the final print - your output resolution could be high but it won't mean anything if you print at draft quality!
I can't still see that there has been an answer to my query. Why doesn't the Photoshop print menu reflect what's going on in the printer dialog box?
Why is it stuck at 720 dpi? The paper type changes, so why doesn't the print quality ?
Can nobody throw any light on this? I have found only one reference to it so far online, which suggests it might be a software bug. I suppose the only thing to do is print a lot of stuff at various printer settings and see if there is any connection between what Elements is saying and what actually comes out of the printer.

Import images into Photoshop Elements Photo Organizer from Safari

Hi,
I recently bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 for Mac. Safari is my default browser. I wonder, has anyone seen an extension or add-on to Apple Safari 5.0 that creates a context dialog that would allow one to import an image from a web page into the Adobe Elements 9 Photo Organizer. Currently, the process of importing into Adobe Photoshop Elements Photo Organizer is both elaborate and tedious. Alternatively, am I simply unaware of some simple drag and drop method to import an image from the web into Photoshop Elements 9 Photo Organizer?

Hi Jack
It’s just not possible on the MAC even with the better Firefox open source Web Browser.

Photoshop Elements 'Photo Mail' feature

I recently received an email created with Photoshop Elements 'Photo Mail' feature
The presentation of the photos was very attractive.
I have CS4 which does not include Photo Mail.
Anyone have a suggestion as to how Photo Mail can be duplicated in CS4?
Thanks
Bob

That feature is for people who don't understand images or email or both.
Why would a professional program like Photoshop include it?

PC running Windows 7 with Photoshop Elements 7 printing to an EPSON Stylus PHOTO R1800

Please help! I am an amateur photographer. This printer produced excellent photos until my old PC died. I just bought a new Dell XPS 9000 with Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 and connected my printer. The photos look terrible. Clearly, the PC and Printer are not working together properly (syncronized COLOR wise). To consistently obtain the best, life-like colors in my pictures, what do I need to do? WHICH (Photoshop Elements or the Epson) should manage the color, and what settings should I use? Each has a setting to allow the other to control the color. Which will produce the best photos? I have tried many different combinations of settings without success. All of my photos come out brownish yellow. I am feeling desperate. I am an older,retired person with a limited understanding of computers, so I need simple,detailed,step-by-step instructions on how to correct this problem. Thank you.

This might be helpful.

Photoshop elements 5 printing photos

When printing in Adobe photoshop elements 5 with windows xp, SOME of the photos show horizontal blaack lines in various locations. If these lines appear in the print preview final screen, they print on the photo. I have spent 4 hours online with HP to determine it is NOT a printer problem.
Some photos print well and others show the lines. ANy advice?

Having a nearly identical problem here. Just bought a new computer, which upgraded me from XP to Win 7, and at the same time I upgraded to Photoshop Elements 9. I restored my Photoshop Elements backup, but found a majority of my photos had become disconnected due to a change in the folder hierarchy from XP to Win 7. Many of my photos when I was using XP were in C:\documents and settings\..., but in Windows 7 there is no documents and settings folder under C:, and Windows won't even let me create a folder with that name so as to move the photos back into it. So now all my photos are in C:\Users\My Pictures\... and PSE can't seem to find them. I have to browse on each one to manually reconnect it. Very tedious and no way that is going to work for nearly 10,000 photos in my catalog. What's worse, the program freezes after I perform a half-dozen or so reconnects. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, and also the suggestion on the Adobe tech note (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/400/kb400848.html) and neither seems to abate the freezing issue. I've also tried both restore options (restore to same location and restore to new location/preserve folder layout) and the folder hierarchy is still messed up either way. Any suggestions?

Photoshop elements 12 prints asymmetical borders instead of borderless photo

Photoshop elements prints asymetrical borders on the sides of photos I am trying to print. I have printed several (more than 20) photos with no borders with no problem, when suddenly I began getting photos with asymetical borders on the sides of the printed photo. It looks fine in print preview but prints with these borders. I have printed a photo with another program and this does not happen. I have checked my settings and nothing appears to have changed. I really need help with this.

In the print dialog, under "Select Paper Size", check again to be sure that the borderless option for your paper stock is selected.
Are the picture files accurately sized/cropped to conform to the paper size, e.g.. 4x6 image for 4x6 paper?

Ordering Photoshop Element Album Print on Kodak Gallery

I have spent many many hours creating an album using Photoshop Element 7,0 and then wanted to print using Kodak Gallery. Did not work. Here is what happened:
Click on the PSE file on the organizer.
Then click 'Order print' and landed on Kodak Gallery site and logged in, I can see my album there but could not find a way to simply order a print copy of it. Only choice seems to select 'New album' which then would force me to redo all the work, reselecting templates etc...
What am I missing ?

A bit more details should help here. Essentially, I am talking about trying to export a PSE album file from Photoshop Element to the Kodak Gallery website to order a print copy. Here how I did it:
1. Went from 'organiser' to Create Photobook, imported all my pictures and created the pse file using Photoshop Element 6,0 templates, backgrounds etc.
2. Saved it in Organiser and on a separate file located on my desktop.
3. Reopen Organiser, clicked on Share, Order print which directed me to Kodak Gallery site. I could see there my pse file or album.
4. Tried to find a print album function to just order a print copy but did not find anything like it.Always forced to go through their 'New album' function which essentially meant redoing all the work.
5. Tried to use the print photo function but then would not import or use pse file, only jpeg.
Hope this help.

Photoshop Elements 11 printing issue

Doesn't Photoshop Elements 11 support a photo tray option or is it just the main tray on your printer? My printer has a photo tray that I always used in previous Elements versions. Elements 11 doesn't show a photo tray option in printing, what gives???

I had the same problem on my new hp 7520: No option to select the photo tray in Photoshop Elements 10 on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.1).
The solution was to use a preset generated in the seperate program standard on the Mac, Preview. The preset causes an additional window to pop up when you press print, and allows you to select the preset. You don't see this window unless a preset has been generated.
To set a preset in Preview follow these steps (other programs could probably be used to set the preset as well):
1. Select a photo and select print.
2. In the print screen select the paper size (eg. 4x6), then in the option that says preview use the drop down menu to select "printer features" which then brings up the options that we are looking for. Set the paper type (eg. Hp premium papers) and source (photo tray). Now go back to top and in the preset window select "save as" and give it a name (eg. 4x6 photo tray). This has created a preset with specified paper quality, size and source which can be used in Photoshop.
Once the preset is established you can print easily in Photoshop:
1. Select a photo and select print.
2. Select the printer, paper size and print size (should match preset) and select print.
3. Because of the preset, an additional window pops up allowing you to select the printer and the preset, then select print again to send it to the printer.
Of course you can have a number of presets, for different sizes or types of papers, different source trays or even different printers.

Photoshop Elements 10 prints are misaligned using hp photosmart 7510

I have Photoshop Elements 10 and when I print a photo using HP Photosmart 7510 the picture is misaligned on the paper. If I print from Windows Photo Gallery the picture is align perfectly. This is a brand new printer.

The white edges should not be showing. The brown around the picture is just a backing I used so the picture would show up better. If I use Windows Photo Gallery to print the same picture it comes
out boarderless like it should, but when I use Photoshop Elements 10 this is what happens. I worked fine with my old printer.
