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.

Thanks for your reply, Alfred.  Surely this problem can't be afflicting all PSCC users. There'd be a viral groundswell of anguish.  A malfunctioning print dialog is intolerable for Photoshop, so it must be unique to my system (and yours, too?)  I asked my photographer's forum (Luminous Landscape, mostly PS and LR experts) and nobody had heard of this problem.  Have you communicated with Adobe on this?

Peter,
sorry to have to break the bad news, but a complete reinstall will not fix this.
I concur with several of the previous posters when they say that core functionality should never be a casualty in the process of adding new features.
In the last two surveys Adobe sent me I have added that I could not recommend this product to anyone I know until they start fixing these long standing issues.
It is notable that when the software was released as stand alone products in the days before CC we never did seem to suffer this level of poor performance and bugs which never got fixed.

I'm beginning to think that only a complete remove and re-install will solve this problem for me.  Is there a resource that will instruct me on this procedure?

I'm experiencing similar printing issues.  The "border" function is inoperable for the last six months and the print dialog displays incorrectly, not retaining the last setting.  Problem exists on multiple local printers and all files.  Running 19.1.5.  Problem appeared with March 2018 update. Reset preferences no change. Any suggestions welcome.

Photoshop tells me it is now at 19.1.5 and CC tells me it is up to date - and the problems are still there.

Running on Win 10 with the new April update and Photoshop is updated to 19.1.4. I am revisiting this thread because nothing seems to have been fixed on my end. Working in a professional environment this is nothing but frustrating when I am trying to print in a timely manner. I've wasted a lot of paper and ink because the print size keeps defauling back to 8.5 x11 even immediately after I have just printed a file.

For example this morning I printed a 2UP of 8x10s on a 13x19 sheet  on our Epson P9000. The client called and upped the order to four. I still had the file open in Photoshop, so I hit Ctrl+P and print. Unfortunately I forgot to click on print settings to enter the Epson settings and reload the correct paper size back into the Photoshop Print dialogue. What I ended up with were two small prints that fit into an 8.5 x 11 sheet.

I've never had more trouble with the print dialogue in any previous version of Photoshop than I am having with this one. 

Tomorrow is June 1st and this bug still persists.  "Waring Rant starting"

I Print every day, but I have yet to find more than one opportunity to use the new Select subject.
Again  New features are cool, but never at the expense of  core functionality.

I was an advocate of the cloud features from before it was called the Creative Cloud, but  this trend of pushing fresh new tech before it's ready, the smoke and mirrors of Adobe MAX showcasing amazing results that never work as advertised when they finally make it into the program, and used as a marketing hook when core functionality is left broken is wearing on me.

I'd just like to add my voice to Stephens and ask if we could have some feedback on this.
