What is wrong with CS4 and post script printers?

I just upgraded my cs2 to a cs4.  It's great except it won't function with my print driver.  I use LD Lanier 160c, an okay printer for non-professional grade.  Every time I try to go to my printer options, I get a warning that says: "If the desired print setting is available in InDesign's Print Dialog Box, please set it  there to avoid conflicts".  Well, there is no duplex options or a lot of other options available in my dialog box.  Does anyone know what to do so I can actually use my printer.  The crazy thing is that it still allows me to go to my print options and select what I want, but it will not record anything I do in the printer options.  Someone please help.
Thanks,
joboyd

You should probably get ahold of Lanier to see if there is a conflict resolution somewhere in the workflow.  I have an HP Designjet 10ps printer that shipped with a standard "Office" type driver and an additional RIP software application which is Postscript 3 compatable.  I often find it interesting that the printer itself is not recognized as a Postscript output device and the RIP only interprets the Postscript data and converts it to printer language.  It sounds like you had success with CS2, whether you used a RIP or not.  But, typically, Postscript data streams usually require a RIP to process the data.  So, Lanier may have an updated driver and/or a RIP solution for CS4.
It's getting to be a real dance with recent OS software releases vs. recent CS updates vs. hardware vendor application updates and/or the lack of.  As I understand it, Apple offers updated printer manufacturer drivers.  However, having looked over the list at the apple.com/support site, they only update new or fairly new printers.  In my case, the closest update driver would be an HP Designjet 30 or 130.  This gets to be a real situation because printer software will only work in certain OS versions and neither HP or Apple support my HP Designjet 10ps.  You are simply expected to trade-up and pay-up.

    My Mac is stuck on grey screen what's wrong with it and am I going to lose everything

    Hopefully you have a backup, but...
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

    My iPhone 5 screen is black and will not come back on. The phone still works when paired with my vehicles Bluetooth what's wrong with it, and can I fix it?

    I have a similar problem.  I restored my iPhone 5 to the latest available OS.  After completing the process the phone never restarted.  The phone was fully charged when I restored it but now refuses to charge past the red battery icon.  I have been able to get the phone in UFD mode several times and have been able to load the new OS on the phone.  The Apple logo does come on and the software fully loads.  iTunes tells me the phone will restart but never does.  I left it to charge all night but it never appeared to load the battery.  This morning I went to the Grand Central Terminal apple store for help.  A woman at the store plugged the phone in but it never charged.  She absolutely refused to believe that I got my phone in UFD mode and loaded any software on.  I don't think it is a battery issue.  The only solution I was given was to buy a new phone.  Repairing it was out of the question.  At this point the phone is completely useless.  Thanks in advance for the help.

    My optical drive will not read any music cds or recognize a blank cd. it might read some data cds. what is wrong with it and how can i fix it?

    The optics might be dirty. Try running a cleaning CD through it and see if that makes a difference.
    If not, it will have to be replace.

  • What is Wrong with CS4 Software?

    I Upgrated Mac Operating system Panter OS X 10.9.1 and I'm not able to print from photoshop or Ilustrator, Programs Crashes, when loading cc profiles, paer and size,

    it's more like what's wrong with your os.  cs4 obviously was not and could not be designed to work with your os.
    whether your os works with cs4 is not an adobe issue.  nevertheless, you can check other user's experiences here, http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • Why is it when using my iPhone 4s front camera, the screen sometimes turn black or have blue stripes on it? What's wrong with it and what should I do?

    When using my iPhone 4s front camera, the screen sometimes become black or have blue stripes on it! Is this a hardware or software problem? Can this issue be covered by my warranty? I bought it inmid-december last year, and this problem came at around Late January. It's a rare case, only came about 5 times, but this really concerns me. What's wrong with it? Thank you so much for your concern.

    thank you for your reply
    I brought it to the store and they agreed to give me an exchange. thank goodness!
    I have a new question: I've now transferred my back up datas to my new iphone. They wanted me to register, so I registered (as my old apple ID) and then they asked if I want to restore backup, I did that too. after the restore back up process, the only things that aren't there were my music and apps! what should I do to get them into my new iPhone?

  • What's wrong with iCloud and all that. See below

    What's wrong with iCloud tonight I am
    Sending texts and it is going as a normal text
    Not iMessage it was working earlier. Now
    Gas stopped working all of a sudden. If
    Anyone Is experiencing the same please let
    Me know. Also it is saying when I turn on and log
    In waiting for activation. I've never had this before.

    There is an earlier thread that was answered by an Apple employee that states they are seeing the iMessage and Facetime servers are down. It is unknown when they will return, however it generally is not an extended period of time.

  • What's wrong with Logic and Soundtrack Pro

    Just spent a frustrating day trying to record with Soundtrack Pro and Logic
    Soundtrack is working on and off
    Problems:
    1. Even if sounds are loaded in the multitrack editor, no sound when playing. Only the Solo (S) button make a track sound. No idea what's wrong?
    2. Trying to record directly into a multitrack sometimes works, and sometimes not.
    3. When making another attempt to record, the noise of death appeared (same as the long thread on Logic.
    Finally I just recorded in Amadeus Pro. At least that software works. It just crazy. Look I accept there is a learning curve but this s just crazy
    Apple is becoming an arrogant company that is becoming more interested in creating gadgets that providing tools that work
    Sorry for the rant

    I've worked on both Windows and OS X (Unix), with a few apps over the years. No one can possible work with every app on every hardware configuration possible on every OS available. So to make the statement you actually have is preposterous.
    That said, Logic is the most used software in project studios. Mixing engineers like ProTools better. But the two have way more market share than anything else.
    Hey Ben,
    Sorry to bump your fanboy applecart... (don't mean that as derogatory as it may sound, I liked the play on words)
    From everything that's happening here and the west coast (USA) many of the Logic users I know have switched to other software, the two Logic studios here have gone to ProTools mainly because Logic version 8 was so unstable, there are no more Logic studios here. The studio with the most business uses a Radar system, the second busiest studio is running Sonar. There is a fellow with a mobile system using a MBP and Logic but he uses version 7.
    The University here took bids 3 years ago and opted for PC/Nuendo/RME setups.
    So yes, Logic may indeed have the most project studio percentage but since every jerk can download it for free what is the quality coming out of these project studios? My point is, for professionals, Logic is becoming less and less of an option, most everyone that used it professionally has been disappointed in Apples support of the product, a long time between upgrades and except for user boards like this... literally zero professional support. You know there's problems when you call up Apple and know far more about Logic than the support staff. It seems like both of those are starting to improve but I think it's a little too late. Also... there's still the "blast of white noise" problem that hasn't been addressed, no professional studio can take that kind of chance.
    Apple is using Logic to sell hardware, smart business, absolutely. However, cutting the price in half, removing the copy protection and throwing in the kitchen sink plus seemingly not giving a d@mn that the program is pirated leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.

  • My macbook is extremely hot and the fan is worryingly loud, what is wrong with it and how do i stop this from happening?

    For soem reason if I actually dare to use my macbook the fan kicks in and is so loud that I am unable to use skype or other voice programs without a headset because of its volume, also it gets very hot very fast, so hot that if I rest it on my knees it burns.  I normally have it on a desk and the area is well ventialted.  I have no print queues and rarely have more than two programs running at a time.  Can anyone offer a suggestion of what is wrong and how I can fix this please?  One of the main reasons I bought one in the first place was that they are so quiet when shown them in the apple store, but this is worryingly loud... 

    Thanks, it seems that it doesn't like to play games, which is a bit of a bummer as i bought this specifically because it was capable of doing that.  To be fair, it is capable... I just need to get used to a sound like sitting by a washing machine on spin cycle...  Wish they would make people aware of this in the Apple Store, its very misleading and not at all desireable.

    Leo,
    What are you trying to do with the "and"? It does not seem to fit in between the two if statements. Just remove the "and".

  • Aperture update and post script printers

    I downloaded the latest Apple update for raw cameras, ie 50D, and now when I move any image to photoshop to print, I get a pop-up saying my epson 2400 is not a post-script printer and all prints cone out very dark regardless of adjustments....any ideas. The printer/photoshop combo has worked perfectly up to this point.

    How are you moving your file from aperture to photoshop and in what format?
    Check that the export preset you are using from aperture has not been changed by update.
    Does the image look ok in photoshop before sending to printer? Does it look very different from same image in Aperture?
    Try printing direct from Aperture (if you need photoshop processing do it using photoshop as the external editor), Aperture can do very good prints.
    Try printing an image from photoshop that was exported from aperture before the update, if thats still bad then problem would appear to be with photoshop, if that print is good then problem probably lies between aperture/photoshop.
    What version of Photoshop do you use?
    Have you done any other updates to your system software in the same period?
