    IF it’s a MAC, reset printing system:

    On your Mac, choose Apple menu System Preferences, then click Printers & Scanners

    Press and hold the Control key as you click in the list at the left, then choose “Reset printing system” from the menu that appears.

    After you reset the printing system, the list of printers in Printers & Scanners preferences is empty.

    Reinstall the print driver, only from the manufacturer, not Apple.

     

    Also take a look at the following article and check if that helps:

    You may like to re-install the printer drivers to check if that makes a difference?

     

    Here is some general Adobe [Mac and Win] info on printing problems,

    Quit Photoshop if running.

    Relaunch Photoshop and open the file that you want to print.

    Press the Spacebar on your keyboard before you click File > Print. This process resets printer preferences that have been written into the image.
