Not really sure what problem(s) you are having - but I hope this link will help you.
Printing From Photoshop

I used to do all my own printing, and I hated printing from PS.
I use a PC and print(ed) from PaintShop Pro - much better IMO.

Hope this helps you. thumbsup.gif

First have you calibrated your monitor with something like the eye one? Calibration is key. Also have you made custom paper profiles for the printer and monitor you are using? You can buy a product that does both. I highly recommend the eye one.

I fixed the Gamma on the monitor but not Printer.

Stupid question, have you set up the printer?
but anyway here you can find everything you need, from the drivers manuals and Troubleshooting Guide.

It's kind of hard knowing what your problems are with the printer. I assume you're using the printer & just not getting the results you want???

Hope these screenshots help:

In this first screenshot you'll see the section "printer profile". This is the one you need to change to the correct paper profile that you're using (my epson paper profiles were automatically loaded when I set up the printer). Make sure you leave color handling as "let photoshop determine colors".

And in the next screenshot the settings are VERY important - make sure you choose "off (no color adjustment)" otherwise you have both the printer & photoshop trying to figure out the colors.

Other than calibrating my monitor, this is about all I do & it works for me! Hope you get it sorted out smile.gif
