Photoshop Printing Problems

[Vicki5CEA]

Photoshop has given me continuous problems with printing from changing colours of files (printing exactly the same file and prints 3 different colours).  I have had to reinstall 3 times over the last few days, and again today as when I go to print the whole program closes by itself.  Can anyone please help .....

Is this Photoshop 2021? A  lot of users have mentioned problems with that version?

But I've not seen changing print colour associated with the update.
Prints changing in appearance with each printing suggests a printer head blockage on the printer, OR maybe the settings changed? As you know there are quite a few settings to get right when printing, 'Photoshop Manages Color' and choose an ICC profile then select media by name in the driver  / OR / 'Printer Manages Color' and allow media selection in the driver to set the profile.

SO

Be sure the heads are clear with a nozzle check before and after a print - just for this testing.

AND be sure the print settings are identical. 

Oh, also be sure that you're printing the exact same file each time, I've seen users with various duplicate copies that have then been edited somewhat - changing appearance. 

If Photoshop has issues with behaviour such a stability, you can try resetting preferences.

Note: Make sure that you back up all your custom presets, brushes & actions before restoring Photoshop's preferences. Migrate presets, actions, and settings

I hope this helps
