Photoshop crashes when I choose to print or set page in place

I've recently upgraded to photoshop CS4 from CS3 (thankfully I also still responsible CS3)
Every time I try to print a picture or choose layout - the program just hangs

What is really weird, is that my printer is a multi-function device (Brother MFC 440 CN) - and I can actually use the scanner

It's just the print option that causes the crash.

So for the moment - I'll have to use CS3 just to print

Anyone have any ideas on how to remedy this situation?

Concerning

Anyone else had a problem printing in another thread. They had an all in one with a fax from what I have gathered. PS CS4 was failing to fax print driver. The fix was to remove the fax driver part and CS4 has begun to print correctly.

  • Photoshop crashes when I try to print

    Photoshop CS6 and Windows 8.1.  CS6 is transferred to a new computer and photoshop crashes every time I try to print.  I can print from Illustrator and Lightroom.

    This is a long thread to it. Suggestions are to search the drivers updated or uninstall/reinstall your drivers.

    I would start with reset preferences:

    Hold down the CTRL - Shift - Alt from the cold Photoshop start.  If you get the keys to the low enough - quickly and you have to be VERY fast - it prompts you to confirm the removal of your established preferences, which will lead to them all being the default value.

  • CC of Photoshop crashes when I go to print on my windows computer

    On my desktop and laptop, when I go to print in Photoshop CC, I get the message that an error has occurred and if it's photoshop. This happened to me before, and thankfully, it was a day of week. Someone had to take over my computer and do a bunch of stuff to make it work. There must be an easier way. Help!

    Hi Marissat,

    Please click on file > print (hold down the space bar)

    The time that you click on print, you will need to hold the space bar on the keyboard, it resets the Photoshop printing preferences.

    Let me know if it helps.

    Kind regards

  • Photoshop crashes when you try to print to fire controlled zerox 550

    whenever we try to print on our printer as soon as we try to change printer preferences all this goes down.  Illustrator seems ok, so it's just a problem of photoshop.  We can print on printer adobe but it takes a long time and we need to photoshop to work constantly.

    someone has ideas or have had the same thing, I know it's a problem, it seems.

    Hi Dean,

    If you are unable to print from Adobe Photoshop after update printer drivers, then navigate to the printers and drivers and not make sure that the default printer appears here.

    If there is any other printers attached, remove them.

    Let us know if you need assistance.

  • Photoshop crashes when you select file / automate / batch

    Photoshop users always need a fix for Photoshop crashing every time they choose batch.

    I understand that Adobe staff has chosen drivers scanner to blame for the problem. And I have read the discussions through last year (very long and annoying when all you want is a fix). But I'm not set on several things that do not add to the top.

    First of all, I'll go through the symptoms, for the sake of all readers. Photoshop users have reported Photoshop crashing when they select file / automate / lots on the menu for years. This problem has gotten a lot worse (widespread) since the release of version 12.0.4. The problem affects apparently only those whose Train compatible scanners and who installed optional Twain from Macromedia. I never read how someone came to this conclusion, but the drivers scanner are being blamed. The accepted workaround solution is to disable or remove Twain from Macromedia.

    Secondly, I would like to point out that Photoshop works normally when you use the Twain plugin. I can scan pictures and they are imported directly into Photoshop without any problem. It was the case before the 12.0.4 updated and always is the case at present.

    Thirdly, I want to ask my question most pressing. That by selecting 'Batch '.... "has he to do with the drivers scanner? In other words, what possibly could Photoshop do with drivers to scan when selecting 'Batch '.... "it does not when in fact uses the drivers?

    Finally, I'll point out that I am a developer of software over 30 years. So I understand how it could somehow work in the details that the source of the problem is really drivers scanner buggy. However, as a programmer with a lot of experience dealing with common problems in device driver API, I know that good practice is to wait for something. If Photoshop starts a process that calls for someone to another software API, it should amortize this call with appropriate exception error handling. All processes must run with a claim "if all else fails.

    > Whatever by selecting 'Batch '.... "has to do with drivers scanner?

    When you run the actions for the Batch command, updates to Photoshop it's State control/menu to see what commands are enabled or disabled depending on the State of the document changed by actions.  This update appealed at the interface of scanning to see what is available or not, and at that time, some drivers crash.  Since the accident happens in the third-party code running in the context of Photoshop - it there was not much Photoshop can do to get it back (there are exceptions, but it could not work beyond the limits of the OS and DLLS).

    In Photoshop CS6, we spent a little time to find out why they were crashing (apparently there was some assumption on the State of the GUI application) and how we could avoid if crush in these circumstances - and now CS6 avoids accidents in the Batch command even with the TWAIN plugin and drivers are loaded.

  • 28 Firefox crashes when I try to print to the printer, Acrobat PDF

    Hi all!

    I observed a problem when I try to print a Web page in Firefox v28 using the printer of PDF Acrobat (Acrobat Pro 9.5.5) installed on a Virtual Machine (VMware View 5.2) with Windows 7 64 bit. Print dialog box crashes (no response) after the pdf dialog box "Save as." Then I have to force Firefox to close, and subsequently an Acrobat PDF conversion dialog box appears with the progress bar has stopped in the middle. I must also close it afterwards.

    The other programs (Office, IE, Notepad...) are able to print through the PDF printer without problem. The problem appeared after the automatic update of Firefox v28, since when I downgrade to Firefox v26 the problem disappears.

    I checked a setup similar to a physical computer (W7 64 bit, Acrobat Pro 9.5.5, v28 of Firefox), and everything works fine, so I think it's a change that's happened in Firefox v28 who has a problem with the configuration of the VM. I also tried to change the Firefox profile, reset Firefox and reset the print settings and reinstall Acrobat. No luck.

    I would like to know if anyone knows some changes in Firefox v28 printing or related to any service or update that may have a problem in the virtual machine.

    Any help is welcome!

    Thank you!

    I just try with Firefox 29 in the same virtual machine, and it works perfectly, so I guess that is a bug in version 28.

  • 19.0A1 every night (11/11/2012) crashes when I try to print a page

    Hello

    I recently had a strange problem with 19 every night.
    It crashes when I try to print a page - any page, even empty.

    This problem is reproducible on all my machines with all newer than 11/04/2012 night.
    If the problem occurred for the first time, about a week ago so I guess it's a bug in the code that handles the print function.

    Can someone help me with this?

    This is a known bug and I hope it will be fixed in the days again.

  • Firefox crashes when you try to print

    When I try to print a web page from firefox almost everything freezes. and the only thing I can do is to press ctrl + alt + del and then disconnect then connect again and start all programs.

    Note that I don't have a printer installed, but I am trying to use the adobe acrobat printer.

    I got windows 7 32 bit and recently changed to 64-bit and pretty much installed everything I had before. I don't have this problem in my previous operating system.

    and also I checked with IE8 it prints very well.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    Is when I installed windows 7 64-bit
