There was an error opening your printer

[aart12]

I'm at my wits end. Something that does not seem to be addressed in the couple years this issue has been around… Something MANY others, including myself, have been experiencing…
Unable to print in PS. When we go to print, PS says that a printer has not been selected, and more specifically, "There was an error opening your printer". Well, that’s [cursing removed]. Printing works fine in all the other Adobe, MS, et al, applications. Just not PS. My situation is on Win10 1909, PSCC 2020. Attempting to print to HP, EPSON, and other printers.
Everything worked fine until PSCC 2019, thereabouts.
In Googling the issue, there has been a plethora of suggestions; Delete settings PSP file, Modify the registry to include MAX memory, holding Spacebar on Print to reset preferences, updating/verifying a current printer driver, changing default printer, uninstalling Windows updates, etc…
Some of those suggestions seem to fix some folks, but there are many others, like myself, where none of those “fixes” do anything other than take up your valuable time jerking around with it.
Has anyone heard of this issue, and/or have there been any other suggestions to FIX the issue?
Right now my only workaround is to save the file to a PDF or high res JPG and print from another app. PITA!
HELP, if you can.

In the Print dialog can you select a printer or print to a pdf.  I have never had a problems selection mt network Epson printer or canon printer or print to a PDF file? On windows 10  in many photoshop versions including current PS 2020. Also on the PC whet the Printers are attached via USB I can print using the local printer.

[JJMack]

Make sure windows printers are installed. I do not set a default printer. I let Windows do its thing.  I select the printer I want to use in Photoshop's print dialog.

[aronl12]

Sure. That would indeed be easy enough to do... assuming one was able to GET to that dialog.

The point is when you click the PRINT menu button, the error occurs. Do don't get a chance to open that dialog.

No matter what you do to resolve the error (methods listed previously), that error is unresolved, preventing any printing from PS.

[JJMack]

Try resetting photoshop tools and your Photoshop Preferences. Photoshop Prnt dialog should open.

[aart12]

LOL... Yeah. I know it should <chuckle>.

.As mentioned in the first post on the 26th, that is one of the things tried.

In resetting, did the SHIFT>OPEN PS, deleting the preferences file, and un-installing PS completely along with prefs.

This error occurs on existing files and anything new created.

Completely up-to-date printer drivers from HP.

Set default printer to numerous devices, including Acrobat PDF.

Did the REGEDIT to MAX memory

Uninstalled suspected Windows updates

Even created a new user profile in Windows

Pretty sure I've tried all the suggestions found Googling the issue, except the nuclear option of re-installing the OS. I was hoping someone had a brilliant suggestion.

Try these, in this order:

Step 1. With Photoshop closed, make sure a default printer is set in Windows settings

Step 2. Open Photoshop and create a new document

Step 3. Hold the spacebar down and click on File Print.

Select a printer and try printing.

If that works and the problem occurs in an existing document - carry out step 2 with that document open

If you still get nowhere - please go to Photoshop's Help >System info and press copy. Then paste the info here.

Before starting Photoshop delete or renamed the folder "C:\Users\(Your User ID)\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2020". This most likely will not work for you stated you created a new user and PS 2020 did not work for that user.  If you delete the folder your user id will look like a new user to PS 2020.

[aart12]

Huh. Well, JJMACK, this gets weirder and weirder.

Renaming the folder does seem to have worked... or at least is currently working.

What seems bizarre in this exercise is that the entire PS folder was previously removed, along with the preferences folder during the last un-install of PS and yet the error persisted after re-install! But now, simply renaming the folder worked? I'm saying, " [cursing removed]?"

...but I'm also thanking you for suggesting what seemed like a completely illogical suggestion.

I'm keeping my skeptical fingers crossed.

Thanks!? 

[aart12]

Well, guess what.

It's doing it again!

I tried the Preference folder rename trick and no dice.

Not sure what the heck is going on.

[aart12]

FYI... even tried the semi-nuclear option of COMPLETELY removing ALL CC apps and CC (folders, reg entries, CC Remover, etc.), rebooting... and it STILL does it! (or rather, doesn't do it. Print, that is)

[JJMack]

I hate to write this you may need to format your disk and do a clean install of all your software.  You machine may be infected.

[aart12]

FYI...Does not seem to be virus related.

I backup my OS by mirroring the HD. Installed an older mirror that had an older PS (PSCC 2018) installed, That PS was able to print with no problem.

When I installed the current PSCC, the problem returned. It's definitely something with PS.

I just want to chime in here. I'm having the same issue, I have no idea what it is, but I assume some conflict between Windows and Photoshop. After trying everything,  I finally found something that at least works for me. When I get this error, I have to go to Services.msc in Windows (search for it in Start Menu or otherwise), then scroll down to Print Spooler, right click it and say "Start". Even though it's set to start automatically, it stops for some reason and I have to manually restart it. If this service is running, I stop seeing the error. Inevitably the error will come back if I restart my computer or Photoshop bugs out hard, but at least there is a reliable solution for me. Hope this helps at least one person!

I know this thread is over a year old. but I am now have this exact problem but on my iMac trying to print from Photoshop ver 25.3.1.  I have a ton of other stuff I need to work on right now and don;t have time to mess around for hours googling a fix.  So, if anyone can give me a quick fix for this it would be greatly appreciated.

PRINT:

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,
https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-printing-problems.html
Simple reset: hold the space bar when you open the print window. It resets the print dialogs
