Every time I try to print in Photoshop CS, it does not see ANY printers. But if I go to any other application, all my printers are available.

In the print dialog, I select "edit printer list" bringing up the Printer Setup Utility, and all my printers are there! But Photoshop refuses to print to any of them.

I've even tried printing some very basic documents, like 300x300 at 72dpi. Nope, nothing works.

Even did a re-install of Photoshop.

Any thoughts?

I created a new user on my computer. And guess what, that NEW user can see all the printers just fine.

So I switched back to my user, deleted every Adobe preference file there is. No dice, still no printers.

Anybody? Help......

I haven't used Photoshop CS, so I'm just guessing here…
In addition to prefs, look for Photoshop CS-related files in /Library/Application Support, ~/Library/Application Support, /Library/Caches and ~/Library/Caches. And be sure to check for invisible files in all these locations as well.

Were your printers installed after or before photoshop? I had the problem with Office. I installed a printer after installing office and that printer didn't show up until I installed office again.

Try reinstalling Photoshop and be carefull about deleting prefs outside of the user account (/library/ instead of ~/library/), in some apps they hold the registration information or other plug-ins.
