Hi Lynette,

Although, I have started switching from Adobe a few years back, in your case Adobe guy might be right to ask you to upgrade to High Sierra. Each new version of Mac OS X (macOS) automatically instals new/updated printer divers. When you don't have the right driver installed, macOS allows you to print through GIMP but can not offer all the options available through that specific printer's driver.

It might also help to know that even a periodic Sierra update should have provided/updated your printer's driver but it is common of manufacturers — in your case Epson — to not care to provide new drivers or their updates to Apple until a new macOS version is due out. Hence, all the hassle.

Fiona, well, isn't that interesting? No, the Adobe tech didn't mention anything about this app. I felt he kept pushing me to upgrade to High Sierra, though when pressed couldn't be definitive about how that would help me.

Hi Lynette,

I see the print options in Photoshop have changed recently. I’m using CC 2017.1.1 and El Capitan. When I try to select “Photoshop Manages Colors” in the print dialog box, I get a message that directs me to this link to download the “Adobe Color Print Utility” app, which supposedly helps you print without color management: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/no-color-management-option-missing.html

Can’t say it’ll work (haven’t tried it yet) but maybe it’s worth a shot. Did the folks at Adobe mention this app?
