P: Print Module, Page Set Up Crashes Lightroom Classic V 12.0.1

No issues using the Page Setup on any of my Epson printers with the latest version of Lightroom Classic. 

Very often, the fix for Epson issues is what I like to call the Epson Enema:

Hi have exactly the same problem...macbook pro, ventura 13.0.1.  Hit the "page set up"...IMMEDIATE CRASH!

Have spent a total of three hours on phone with Adobe support (in three sessions) and they are still unable to correct the problem.  I suspect this is a conflict with the new OS.  I am scheduled for a fourth call tomorrow morning.

Meanwhile I deleted all Epson drivers and software, using their uninstall.app, and installed drivers anew from the Epson site (so as to have all the possibilities and not the slimmed-down-Apple-Airprint version). The  interface has changed for the worse, too many options, badly organized - no idea whether LR, Apple or Epson is to blame. In LR and e.g. Pages I only have the very basic default settings, in Preview I have in addition a number of Photo settings (different for each of the two printers). My own print presets are nowhere to be seen. I did locate them in the library>preferences folder, but (a) how do I get the printer, or LR (and PS by the way) to use them and (b) could this be an outdated file that causes the crashes? In which case I'd rather not revive it.

(By the way, Inhad to type this on my iPad as the 'reply' button on this website doesn't work in FF and Safari with Ventura - now I know again why I have always been slow to update  😞  Some other apps crash too - a day of my life wasted...

If you are affected by this crash, engineering is requesting a video recording showing the actions that cause the crash. Please post a video showing the bad behavior if possible. 

Thank you!

Today I updated to Ventura on my i-Mac and apparently my Adobe apps were updated as well. My LR Classic version is 12.01. Everything seemed fine, until I tried printing. I use 2 different Epson printers.

When I clicked 'printer' (below right) the preset field said 'none'. When I tried to select one of my print presets (i.e. to click on in the list) LR crashed.With the other printer same story.

(NB  'print preset' = combination of settings for: type of paper+print quality+paper feed; I created these for matte paper, normal paper, rice paper etc;and use them for occasional jobs and to create print templates - which include more, also paper size, margins etc.)

As Apple sometimes installs its own versions of printer drivers I decided to install the latest drivers and software updates directly from the Epson site. But  LR still crashed on choosing a preset.

I followed all Adobe recommendations listed here https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/troubleshoot-crash-or-freeze.html. I reset preferences etc. checked all settings  -no luck. I have now counted 8 or 9 crashes at exactly the same point.

I have been using LR and Epson printers for more than 10 years and never had this before. It must be related to the updates. I can make a new preset and print with it. However, the interface has become very complex, with an extra layer in between.

E.g. to check print quality I click 'printer', popup window appears, I click to open 'printer options', click 'printer settings' which opens a second popup and then I get to see the window resembling what I was used to - but only for paper type and print quality.

It is as if two systems are kind of mixed up. There ar emany settings, some of which I have never seen before, but on the other hand I have not found how to change paper feed - one of my Epsons has 3 paper feeds but I haven't come across the option to choose back/front/default feed.

Anyone can shed light on this? I am really worried, I have perfected a range of presets over the years and I was always so happy with the way Lightroom handled printing and now it is all messed up...

Have you gotten no response? I'm using a Canon printer, but having the exact same problem. I hope somebody knows a work around.
