Photoshop crashes when trying to print

[sannal57756001]

Photoshop (CC version 19.1.4) will stop instantly when I try to print. The printer is the Epson Et-2650. I installed it a couple of times again. The printer works well with other programs. Can anybody help what to do?

I was having the same problem that started when I installed an Epson desktop all-in-one printer.  The plotter that I use to print PS files is also an Epson.  I uninstalled the desktop Epson and PS stopped crashing when I hit print.  Not sure how to fix the conflict, but it is more important for my business flow that the Epson plotter works.  Probably will just get a different brand all-in-one desktop printer.

Thanks Bjorn,  Recreating Perferences worked!  I had not experienced this before, but I see it seems to be an ongoing issue.

this is a 5 year old issue that still has not been corrected.  The office i work out of has multiple of the same printer on the network(different buildings) and a single printer is actually acting as 3 different printers. Can we get this resolved please?

@CHRISTOPHER29097811b8c3 Just FYI, this forum is almost entirely supported by volunteers. 

You'd be more likely to get help if you fully describe the issues you have and include screenshots inline in the text. (not attached)

I'd start a new thread, personally, with an informative title - as you seem to have a different issue to the OP. "a single printer is actually acting as 3 different printers"

Printer identification is most likely an OS issue rather than Adobe, anyway.

I hope this helps

For me it's definitely to do with Epson drivers .. I have 5 printers on network and only when I added an Epson did the problems begin .. 

I even got rid of it and things went back to normal but a while later I had a requirement for another Epson (different one this time) and the crashing issues were back .. i could get around it by resaving my psd templates with the default printer saved and all the usual resetting preferences etc and slowly the problem went away , however i am now on my third Epson (I know I know gluten for punishment but it's the only printer I could get for  my requirement / budget)  and the issue is the worst it's been .. I can mitigate to a large extent with all the tricks workarounds I've got to know from previous , however there are still instances occasionally where ps crashes and I can't explain it .. so annoying I've spent so many hours testing different scenarios and getting to the point where I can predict the crash and subsequently take action to avoid, but I'm now at the end of the road , why oh why can't adobe have an error instead of crash I'll never know 🤦🏻‍:male_sign:
