sounds like a printer driver error. tried upgrading the driver?
That was my first thought, too, so I’ve made sure I have the latest drivers from Epson.
However, how would that make it so that I can do the Print Setup manually and it not work when it’s invoked from an Action?
ow would that make it so that I can do the Print Setup manually and it not work when it’s invoked from an Action?
could be the speed at which it’s run…? might not be finished with one thing before the action tries something else and the driver goes ***plonk***.
(just speculating, of course)
Im also getting program crashes from preset actions but mine are from presets to convert to CMYK and another to add line screens among others. I have deleted them and re-recorded them multiple times. My presets are done to TIFF images. I keep reverting back to CS2 where I never had these problems. I just added the 75 Meg. patch from this morning but it still crashes.
Dave may be on to something. For reasons best known to the print spooler, when doing a normal print, sometimes my print starts instantly sometime it takes minutes.
print spooling can be turned off. try that (@rick)
Some interesting ideas, but I don’t see how they actually apply in my case.
For example, print spooling doesn’t come into play until I actually initiate the print – the GPF is occurring during print *setup*.
My basic beef, though, is that Photoshop GPFs and simply closes, potentially losing where I was in other images. An application should *never* GPF, no matter what happens in code which it calls, whether a printer driver, user-written script, plug-in, or whatever.
