Print dialog box always opens at top left corner of screen and when maximised does not retain settings on next use. The print preview is also low res and pixelated.

Thank you for the update, Hannah. Will 20.0 also fix the other problems - border not being printed, for example?

Whoops! Sorry Cristin, I have offended you without intent. Point taken, and please be advised your verbiage is sssessed as more than adequate this time around, only kidding.
Kind regards

Perhaps you mistake what I was saying. I have the blurry print preview, and have been able to print, though at first it was definitely a preview I couldn't trust. And I don't like it. But I also don't find that it's the most critical problem I've got working with various apps. I'm not a print professional, though I do print regularly. If I were a print professional, however, I wouldn't be using 2018 to print through Photoshop. As it is, I can (and do) keep earlier versions installed for any time that a particular bug is a problem.

They run concurrently with 2018, allowing me to switch to 2018 for new features, and do whatever needs to be done, such as print with a clear preview, out of the earlier version. 2017 works just fine for print if I have any reason to doubt the sharpness, color, or tonality of the print upon opening the dialog. I just open the file to be printed in 2017 in that case. Though as I said, with experience I've been able to see that tone is accurate, and color as accurate as it's ever been with my paper profiles.

Not meaning to be overbearing, but if you read through the list of problems that crop up regularly just here (and not counting all the other apps we use and their bugs), this is something that definitely needs to be fixed, but without the same urgency as some of those other issues, and I can wait without being  angry about the wait until the next major release that Hannah has promised they are aiming for.  I thought that was all I was saying, but perhaps not with enough verbiage to indicate that I, too, want to see it fixed. I wasn't suggesting a permanently blurry print preview would be okay with me.  '-}

Im glad you can wait Cristen, and that it doesn’t matter to you, however if you have read through this thread you will see there are posts from professionals to whom it does matter. Sorry if I sound a bit overbearing, but I share their opinion, and the sooner this is fixed the better, so Im glad we’ve been given an optimistic update.

Since it doesn't affect the actual print, it's been something I can live with, thankfully. The Preview does do a pretty good job of showing me the effect of my profile on the print—about as good as it ever has—and that's more critical. So I can wait.  '-}
