CS4 Printing in an Action creates a negative image print

I have CS4 on a Windows platform, as a trial. I wanted to see if the printing issues that keep me from using CS3 in production were solved before I bought it.

Pretty much right out of the chute, I ran into problems. I use actions to get photos formatted to print. The action at the end, it calls Print (in CS2 was called Print with Preview). This Print step is done with modal control to allow different printers or settings to selected.

This action works fine in CS2 and in CS3. In CS4, the print comes out as a negative image. I have deleted the step from the action and re-recorded it in CS4, still comes out as an negative. Interestingly, if I use a CS2 Print command (not the new Print Preview version) in the action, then it works fine. The problem is extremely repeatable in different action or to different printers. If I disable the print step in the action and just print it without the action, it works fine.

This to me seems a very repeatable bug.. hopefully it gets on the list to fix.

Is this is indeed a bug then you might want to contact Adobe in a more direct fashion: Feature Request/Bug Report <http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform>

I'm having the same problem. Print within an action either gives me a print with seriously screwed up color (like a negative as you said) or CS4 crashes completely. Same print command from the menus works fine.
