@nickroper that AI was from my web browser actually. Not within PS.  Yeah, the Canon PPL did work well for me. I saw no way to load the profile I'd made and no ine I could find at Canon had any idea what I was asking, but I placed the new profile in the regular Colorsync folder and the new profile was then listed in the CanonPPL. If it hadnt appeared I'd have been in a corner I guess.  I found the Canon PPL pretty unintuitive to use when making prints at the client site, but, I guess, after a while you get used to it.    I hope this helps neil barstow colourmanagement - adobe forum volunteer, colourmanagement consultant & co-author of 'getting colour right' See my free articles on colourmanagement online Help others by clicking "Correct Answer" if the question is answered.

@nickroper did you try asking Google, their  AI might provide a bit of info that’s useful to you: To resolve the Adobe error "an error occurred while getting the default printer profile" on a Mac, you should focus on  resetting the printing system in macOS and recreating the printer instance, or resetting Adobe's preferences .    Solution 1: Reset the macOS Printing System  This action clears potential corruption in print settings by deleting all printers and print job information.  On your Mac, go to Apple menu > System Settings > Printers & Scanners. Control-click the printer in the list (or the empty list if no printers are shown). Select Reset Printing System. After the reset, click the Add button ( + ) to re-add your printer. Test printing from Adobe.    Solution 2: Recreate the Printer Instance in macOS  This method involves removing and then re-adding only the printer experiencing issues.  Open System Settings > Printers & Scanners. Select the printer and click the Delete button ( - ). Click the Add button ( + ) and follow the steps to re-add the printer.    Solution 3: Reset Adobe Preferences  Corrupted preferences can cause printing errors. Resetting them restores default settings.  Quit the Adobe application. In Finder, go to Go > Go to Folder. Type  ~/Library/Preferences  and press Enter. Move relevant Adobe application preference files (like  com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist ) to the Desktop for backup. Restart the Adobe application. Attempt printing again.  If these steps don't resolve the issue, ensure your printer driver is up to date by checking the manufacturer's website.  ... View more

@nickroper I've never seen that issue with the ACPU but it was discontinued long ago (before macOS Catalina), so this could be a macOS compatibility issue.

@Ethann_Collins7978 A couple of hours ago, I described the process for printing colour management targets from macOS Sequoia using the Apple Colorsync Utility's "Print as Color Target" option  - it’s a bit of a convoluted process, but according to colour guru Andrew Rodney the Digital Dog, it works. My post about that is on page 1 of this thread    You're right that targets can be printed from some profiling apps, e.g.  i1Profiler, I'm not sure basICColor print provided a workflow to print direct from the app. in any case, though it's an EOL product now and hasn't been developed for a while, nor is it available to buy any longer since Karl Koch, company owner, retired.   I hope this helps neil barstow colourmanagement - adobe forum volunteer, colourmanagement consultant & co-author of 'getting colour right' See my free articles on colourmanagement online Help others by clicking "Correct Answer" if the question is answered.

@Sam Wadsworth  I’m having an issue with my printer when printing directly from Adobe Photoshop. The colors look washed out, and some lines are missing. I want to confirm whether the problem is with Photoshop color profiles or the printer itself. If lines are missing on your print, then the print heads may need a clean.   Before troubleshooting, I’m trying to print test page, but I'm not sure which method gives the most accurate diagnosis. I'd use a known photo based composite test image with 'memory colours', There's one here:  please go here and download the Adobe RGB testimage: https://www.colourmanagement.net/downloads_listing/   It explains how to analyze test page patterns and color issues. But I’m not sure if Photoshop uses the same print color pipeline as Windows test pages. it would, though perhaps help you  to assess whether the printers working well.  So my questions are: What’s the best way to print a color-accurate test page using Adobe apps? Does Photoshop manage color differently compared to OS-level printer test pages? Any recommended settings (ICC profiles, color management options, etc.) to check?   You will ideally need colour managed pipeline end-to-end, i.e. a calibrated and profiled display system, good room lighting to view it in (i.e. very subdued light). For that you need a hardware display calibrator.   You also need a good ICC profile for the chosen media, for your specific printer model (and for the loaded inks).    have a read up here: https://www.colourmanagement.net/advice/about-icc-colour-profiles/   I hope this helps neil barstow colourmanagement - adobe forum volunteer, colourmanagement consultant & co-author of 'getting colour right' See my free articles on colourmanagement online Help others by clicking "Correct Answer" if the question is answered.

@Oirada "I believe the fact it is greyed out actually means color management is not used"  That’s not correct, I realise you're wanting to be helpful, but please don't be tempted to post unless you have a lot of confidence you're right. As @Stephen Marsh wrote, there is no way to disable colour management in settings when printing from Photoshop. Some claim that a null transform - i.e. setting the printer profile to the same colourspace profile as the image file would do it, but that’s not known to be reliable - so most use Apple Preview, the Apple Colorysync Utility or the Adobe Color Print Utility. None is ideal admittedly.    I hope this helps neil barstow colourmanagement - adobe forum volunteer, colourmanagement consultant & co-author of 'getting colour right' See my free articles on colourmanagement online Help others by clicking "Correct Answer" if the question is answered.

@Oirada "There is no ABW = Advanced Black & White option (typo, my bad, not Automatic White Balance 😉 under the color dropdown menu. But someone told me that actually for the ET-8550 perhaps it is called just "Black & White" in LR and PS?" Maybe that's correct, but I'd expect that just "Black & White" means "print with black ink only"   Epson Print Layout may be a good workaround as you wrote.   That's good that it works well for photos, the Ecotank system is certainly a fairer solution to selling inks.   The ET printers have a much less detailed list of media in the driver, same here.    I hope this helps neil barstow colourmanagement - adobe forum volunteer, colourmanagement consultant & co-author of 'getting colour right' See my free articles on colourmanagement online Help others by clicking "Correct Answer" if the question is answered.

@Oirada I too recommend you repost in the Lightroom forum. Meanwhile, I have a question or two, though   'AWB missing. Printer is on driver 13.26, not AirPrint' whats AWB?  do you mean Advanced Black and White, perhaps?    That driver screenshot you show looks pretty sparse, On an Epson Photo Printer driver, I'd expect to see full media names like "Epson Archival Matte" etc in the actual Epson driver.  However I see this is an 'ET - - ' (Ecotank)  printer so it MAY not have the photo printer options like Advanced Black and White. My Ecotank printer doesn't.    My office printer is an ET-2880 and that has rather simplified driver options. I only see the same color options as you. I don't use it for photos, so I can't tell you how well it copes with that task.    Mac, right? With a "Photo" type Epson I'd expect to see a media list like this but I see it's not an Epson "Photo" printer     When we use use 'printer color management' with an Epson Photo printer it finds printer icc color profiles based on the media you select (see below), with this printer you're limited to those media names actually listed in your driver/print settings - I cant find any ET color profiles on my system so I've no idea how much printer color management the ET-printers can do - you'll need to do some tests   I just see this on my Epson Ecotank printer driver:   I suggest you try those listed Epson media (papers) to test how well your machine deals with photo printing    Of course to get a match to your screen you may have to consider a hardware calibration device to set the screen up accurately.    I hope this helps neil barstow colourmanagement - adobe forum volunteer, colourmanagement consultant & co-author of 'getting colour right' See my free articles on colourmanagement online Help others by clicking "Correct Answer" if the question is answered.

@guillermosh that IS the Epson driver as one can see actual Epson media names, not just Matt/ glossy et. I don't have Tahoe installed, so I can't search out those Epson profiles for you. I'm still using Ventura as I am wary about updating on a production machine.  Maybe the 'Find Any File' app would look right into the file structure and find them for you even if they are hidden in a package .  You can see here that it easily found the profile named 'Epson Stylus Pro 4900_4910 ArchivalMattePaper_MK.icc' for me and tells me (along the base of the results window) that it's in the library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/ICC profiles/Epson Stylus (printer name----) /Contents/resources folder on my system        I'd give the 'Find Any File' app a try, in your situation, as this is taking you a lot of time.   Once you find the profiles then COPY them to the library/colorsync folder where Photoshop can access them. see my previous instructions    OItherwise, this is becoming a question for Epson support, as they must know where they are installing their profiles [they have previously put them in a 'package' only accessible by the Epson driver software [This installation is necessary, because when you select "printer manages color" and a certain media then the Epson driver selects their ICC profile for that media from that hidden folder. ]   The CORRECT behaviour is for Epson to also install them where Photoshop can find them too, but this has long been problematic for some users.    I hope this helps neil barstow colourmanagement - adobe forum volunteer, colourmanagement consultant & co-author of 'getting colour right' See my free articles on colourmanagement online Help others by clicking "Correct Answer" if the question is answered.

@GauchoPampa AIRPRINT is about the printer driver. IN any case - the selected the printer driver in ADD printer will not affect Photoshop's ability to "see" printer manufacturers' ICC profiles IF they are in the right folder on a mac.   I don't know why "AIRPRINT" is not showing up under use: when you ADD the printer in the mac system settings, however, as you don't need it that's a moot point.   I explained earlier in a long post above titled: to @guillermosh "more on missing ICC profiles:  Epson printer profiles are missing in Photoshop manages color in the print dialog (Mac)" I show how to find Epson's printer profiles and how to add them to the regular Colorsync profile folders so that relevant applications can see them. I'm not clear as to whether you've tried that.   The Epson icc profiles are installed when you download and install the driver software, they are placed in an "Epson only" package (type of folder). Ideally the Epson driver insatllation will also place them in the mac's 'colorsync profiles' folder, where Photoshop can "see" them, but it doesn’t always happen and sometimes macOS updates seem to affect their presence.     In your screenshot  "4- Reopen Photoshop. Look for the Epson ICC Profiles. *Nothing comes up!*" - is that the 'Photoshop Manages Color' / ' Printer Profile' list you're showing?   I noticed @guillermosh   marked Conrad's reply above as "correct", but I can see from your screenshots (pending my question in the previous paragraph) that the Epson profiles are perhaps not showing in Photoshop Manages Color.    I hope this helps neil barstow colourmanagement - adobe forum volunteer, colourmanagement consultant & co-author of 'getting colour right' See my free articles on colourmanagement online Help others by clicking "Correct Answer" if the question is answered.

@Ton Frederiks "Yes, Conrad, I think it is a Photoshop problem." yeah, I'd say that’s right, because they are not tagged printer profiles    Where they came from is likely Adobe, for the most part. I did find a LOT using Find Any File I got the impression that initially you were having trouble locating them.   @Conrad_C "No, they have nothing to do with camera raw files. " Yeah it was the ARRI-look profile that got me thinking about that as a possibility for why Adobe are adding them in a Photoshop installation. What I meant was that MAYBE camera raw users MIGHT want to set these as output (image) icc profiles to later import the same image files into a video workflow.    I hope this helps neil barstow colourmanagement - adobe forum volunteer, colourmanagement consultant & co-author of 'getting colour right' See my free articles on colourmanagement online Help others by clicking "Correct Answer" if the question is answered.
