For some reason, when I hit "print", my photoshop program closes.  I have restarted my computer numerous times.  I've also deleted photoshop and reinstalled.

PRINT:

Here is some general info on printing problems,

if that doesn’t help -

Perhaps try resetting Photoshop preferences?

Resetting restores Photoshop's internal preferences, which are saved when Photoshop closes. If they become corrupt then various issues can occur.

 

Here’s some info on how to do that:

You may want to backup your settings and your custom presets, brushes & actions before restoring Photoshop's preferences.

It may even be time to reinstall Photoshop.

 

Use the Adobe CC cleaner tool to remove all traces first.

Uninstall photoshop BUT make sure to choose the option “Yes, remove app preference”.

 

Once that process finishes, start the installation process and look into the “Advanced Options”. Uncheck “Import previous settings and preferences” and choose to “Remove old versions”.

 

I hope this helps

Try holding down the Spacebar when you select File > Print...

 

Does it print without problem?

I am having the same issue. It closes when I hit print. I have tried holding spacebar and then print, but it didn't help.

Try resetting your Photoshop preferences. Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) immediately after launching Photoshop. You will be prompted to delete the current settings.

Any better?
