Printing in photoshop CS5 problem

I found these steps worked for me concerning the single copy issue

1. Start > Devices and Printers
2. Double-click printer
3. Double-click "Customize your printer"
4. Click "Device Settings" tab
5. Scroll to bottom of page and change "Mopier Mode" to Disabled under the "Installable Options" group.

We are having the same problem... and with 50+ people just moved over to CS5 it creates a pretty significant production issue.

I noticed in changing from CS4 to CS5 you guys got rid of the 2nd print confirmation dialog... is there a way to get that back until this problem is corrected?

Just wanted to report this same problem:

Print counts entered through the photoshop CS5 interface are stored and applied only for the next print job.

Problem exists for all 3 printers I tried:

   xerox phaser 8560DN PS  -     x28560p  -   5058.1000.0.0

   epson stylus pro 3880       -     e_gf1fne  -   6.60.0.0

   dell laser MFP 1815 PS    -     dp1815    -   2.40.0.0

Windows 7 64

I also found that this bug has been logged by Adobe--the only fix posted is the workaround to use the print settings interface

I normally only print 1 copy and it took forever for me to figure out  what was going on. I'm still going to forget, but at least now I know there's a real problem and it's not just the print queue getting stuck.

Have the same problem, up til now I have been using print preview and the

n hit "cancel" and reprint. The second time with print preview it does print

the correct ICC profile and quantity. Unless I do this it will print the previous

ICC profile and quantity. Wasted lots of canvas and paper since I forget

every once in a while. Has been a huge waste of time in having to do

this for every print job. Wish I could get my money back for CS5 and

go back to CS3 which was trouble free (the good old days).

I'm having the exact same problem which is a pain, especially when printing different images, as it doesn't hold the printer information for the previous print as it used to when I had CS3.

I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit operating system with an Epson R1900 printer, all the latest drivers as I've just bought a new computer and installed everything recently from scratch.

WHEN WILL THIS BE FIXED?!!

I had a minute to poke at printing from PS-CS5 as I've noticed too that when I choose to print multiple copies it doesn't. But sometimes it does. So I did a quick test with some white text on a white background that printed quickly and did not waste any trees. Here's what I found:

Launch PS-CS5 (64)

1) Open 8.5 x11 document (white text on white paper for testing)

2) Select Print ->  Select 3 Copies -> Print

    Result = Prints 1 copies

3) Select Print ->  Select 2 Copies -> Print

    Result = Prints 3 copies

4) Select Print ->  Select 1 Copies -> Done (closes dialogue)
    Select Print again ->  Leave 1 Copy selected -> Print

    Result = Prints 1 copy

5) Select Print ->  Select 3 Copies -> Done (closes dialogue)
    Select Print again ->  Leave 3 Copy selected -> Print

    Result = Prints 3 copies

Launch PS-CS5 (32) to see if this might behave differently with 32 bit PS

6) Select Print ->  Select 3 Copies -> Print

    Result = Prints 1 copy

7) Select Print ->  Select 2 Copies -> Done (closes dialogue)
    Select Print again ->  Leave 2 Copy selected -> Print

    Result = Prints 2 copies

So it seems that whatever print code is applied when pressing the 'Done' button is not being applied when pressing the 'Print' button. But it does get applied after the print instruction is sent so that the next time you open the print dialogue the previous setting is what's in effect. It ends up being:

Launch Print /set 2 -> Print -> Prints 1, closes Print dialogue and sets # of copies to 2

Launch Print /set 5 -> Print -> Prints 2, closes Print dialogue and sets # of copies to 5

Launch Print /set 1 -> Print -> Prints 5, closes Print dialogue and sets # of copies to 1

BUT, if I press 'Done' after setting the # of copies it's then recorded and the next time I launch the print dialogue it is what will be in effect.

So if I want to print 7 copies I need to:

Launch Print /set 7 -> press Done

Launch Print -> press Print and it prints 7 copies

I don't think this is an appropriate way for a print dialogue to behave.

Why none of my other applications behave this way is a mystery.

Vista 64 Ultimate SP2
i7 960 processor
24 GB RAM
Photoshop CS5
Epson R280 with last driver update (v6.51)

I'm using vista and CS5 and have the same problem. If I open a document and set it to print 10 copies, it prints one. I have to save it, close it and reopen it for it to print the save number of copies!!!

Still knackered here, with a Kyocera 250 colour laser using latest drivers on Windows 7 x64.

If the print system in Win7 is crap and CS4 didnt use it, why not use the old WinXP one that works fine till Microsoft fix the issue?

Dave, as an employee I would expect a more courteous reply.  I paid good money for this product and this thread is titled "Printing in Photoshop CS5 problem."  Rather than dismissing this problem as something that doesn't fit your own personal requirements for thread etiquette, perhaps you can ask your engineers to look at a possible correlation between this printing problem and the others that you deem acceptable to speak of.

The only way that I can print to my Dell 3130cn laser is if I first save my file as a PDF and then print it like that.  If I go directly from PS5 to the Dell, a single file can take up to 4 minutes to begin printing.  This does not occur with my Canon Pro9000.  Yes, my print drivers are up to date.
