Can't Print from Photoshop

[TEMPLEAHAVATACHIM]

Whenever I try to print something in Photoshop, this message appears:

"There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."

But my printer is not the problem. First of all, I already selected my printer and made it the default one. I also had a tech help chat session today with the company who makes my printer (HP) and they found nothing wrong with it or its connection to my computer. And I am able to print from all my other applications. So the HP tech suggested it must be a Photoshop problem.

Photoshop Chat isn't available today. Can anyone out there advise me? Thanks.

I just updated Photoshop 2024 to version 25.7.0 and now when I try to print Photoshop closes. Thank goodness, I saved my document before trying to print! I restarted my computer, but no help. Please advise... Thank you.

@pessenfeld Mac or Windows?

Have you tried removing and reinstalling the printer's driver software?

I hope this helps

@pessenfeld IF its an Epson and a mac - here are some general tips from the very knowledgeable digitaldog - he seems to no longer post here

"maybe do the Epson Enema and install the print drivers (from Epson) again: 

1.Delete all instances of Epson printers from System Preferences (System Settings in Ventura)>Print & Fax.

2.Then go to /Library/Printers and toss the whole Epson folder.

3.Toss LFP Remote Panel (IF you are using this utility for your printer).

4.Then reinstall drivers from Epson and never Apple.

NOTE: IF you have more than one Epson printer, you need to install the driver in the order of their release! Older then newer or you run into issues (eg, install 4800 before you’d install 3880).
