Finding my printer profiles when printing

[paulcroft]

Hi All

I have recently bought Elements 7 and am slowly working my way around the software.

I have a Canon i9100 printer and have four printer profiles for it, each for a specific paper and print quality. They are correctly installed at c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color

Under colour management, having selected "Elements manages colors", when I click on the drop down list for the available printer profiles I see one page full and no scroll bar to allow the rest of the page to be viewed. Since my profiles are near the bottom of the list, without a scroll bar I can't get to see them to select them. I've found a way around this - by selecting any profile near the bottom of the current list then closing the list then reopening it, whereupon a few more on the page are listed and I can repeat this until my profiles come into view - but can someone tell me if this problem is peculiar to my installation or do others have this glitch too?

Thanks
Paul

I do like this forum. I did a search for this problem and found nothing but, having posted my question, I was offered a number of similar threads which addressed it. Nice piece of programming that.

Hi Paul ...

... and welcome to the Village :)

Do hope that you found the right answer to your question and that the problem is now resolved.

Hi Wendy

Yes, all sorted thanks.

I found another neat trick here while searching for a solution. I wanted to print six passport photos on a 4" x 6" photo card and found that Elements doesn't have a template for this (or anything in 4 x 6) and there's no facility to create your own templates.

Someone else had come up with a similar problem and the suggestion was to open a new transparent file of the requisite size, in my case 4 x 6, and copy and paste the photos onto the new file. Quite a neat trick that, and a fair but quicker than designing a new template.

I think I'm going to like it here.http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/images/icons/icon7.gif

Paul....

It's a well known bug (feature) for many users. You get a similar problem with the Font List.

What I do is open the drop down box and then use the Up/Down arrows to scroll the list.

Hi Wendy & Colin

Thanks for your responses. I'm still learning this software and, like most packages, it has its 'features'.

I found another one last night for which I did find an answer concerning printing multiple photos - there's a singular lack of templates and no way to make your own as far as I can see but the advice was to paste your photos onto a new 'transparent' file of the appropriate size and print that. A clever solution and arguably a lot quicker than making a new template. I can see I'm going to like this forum a lot. I like elegant solutions.
