No Print Settings for Epson printer

Jul 14, 2012 1:16 PM

Tags: #epson #print_settings

I have an Epson 1400, and it was working fine this morning. I usually go to Print Settings to select my glossy paper. But just now, when I went to print, and tried to click the Print settings... button, nothing happens. I have tried using Software Update and installed the latest Epson Printer Software, and tested several other applications, and the printer is connected and working fine in those.

 

This is PS 12.1 for Mac.

 

Thanks

    Maybe trashing preferences?

    Hold down Shift+Opt+Cmd (Shift+Alt+Cntrl on PC) AS you launch Photoshop. You'll get a small dialog to OK resetting your preferences.

    That's a great to trick to know, so thank you. But no, it doesn't seem to have worked. I'm still getting nothing when clicking the Print Settings... button

    And no window shows up? (As opposed to certain print settings grayed out)

    I thought thre was a similar post a month or so back. You may want to try a forum search.

    No, there's no window at all. The button turns blue for a moment, then back to white, that's it. I did a forum search before i posted the question. I didn't find anything.

    Ok. I find the thread I was thinking of. It ended with this link to an Adobe tech bulletin :

    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/print-settings-option-unavailable- print.html

    Hope this solves it!

    Drat. I performed all of the solutions mentioned. None worked. I've now even uninstalled and re-installed the app from scratch

    Well, looks like I'm dumb. I misread Solution 1. It suggested that I Choose Printer Manages Color,  return to Photoshop Manages Color, and then choose Print Settings. This worked perfectly after I realized it meant PS couldn't use the printer to manage color in the case of my printer.

     

    Anyway, you saved my you-know-what!

     

    Thanks again,

    J.
