Any KB articles or help with printing errors when printing directly from Photoshop to an HP 3600n color laser printer? The one at work prints out pages with a "Kernel error" and the one at home simply doesn’t print even though it say it’s processing documents. I understand PS conversion is done in software with this printer so it may be an HP problem.

No idea, frankly. PostScript errors are tricky, to say the least. Does the printer respond to printing from a command line input (i.e. use "copy" in association with a PS, EPS or PDF file to initiate printing)? Have you attempted to install the printer as a "Generic PostScript printer" rather than a specific HP device? As a last option, I’d try an alternate software RIP.

Horst,

I have a HP 3600 without the n so it’s not a network printer but I would think for the rest it’s the same printing engine. (I certainly could be wrong…) Anyway, although printing directly from Photoshop is very cumbersome due to the many bugs, my HP prints without the problems you describe.
Is it only Photoshop that gives you trouble?
Many people have abandoned printing directly from Photoshop especially in CS3 and are using an older version of Photoshop or a third party printing program such as QImage.

Regards,

Ronald
