Hello everyone. Im having a bit of trouble trying to print out in Photoshop. I am printing to a Canon Laser Copier 900. The documents print out fine in EVERY other program except for photoshop. I set it to CMYK colour mode (same as the printer) and i am using pantone colours (which are also matched on the printer). If i save it as a flat (no layers) image then open it up in ANY other program it prints fine. The printer is even receiving it as coulour as it goes through each CMYK on the display (whereas when it is B&W it just shows bK).

Thanks in advanced for any help.

Much appreciated.

I am not familiar with the Canon 900 but if you get correct results with other image editing applications but not Photoshop, then I would start by checking the color management settings in Photoshop. See:

Have you tried using RGB mode instead of CMYK. Even though your printer uses CMYK colored inks, it normally recieves data in RGB mode (which is what other programs are doing).
