I have a Mac G5, running OS 10.4.11. I recently bought and installed Adobe CS3 Extended. All has gone well until this evening.
Everytime I try to print to my Epson 3800 through CS3, the program crashes. I've tried a couple of fairly large prints, as I normally do--30-50MB, tiff files.
When I go to the Print window, and click on the Print button, I get a message reading "The application Photoshop has unexpectedly quit." Quit indeed.
There are only three things that I can think of that could have triggered this.
1) my good old hardrive, 80GB, has just 338MB of available space, and I did get a message earlier today that my startup disk was nearly full. Also, when trying CS instead, I got the message that program couldn't initialize, because scratch disk was full.
2) When this all started, I did something stupid--was in the process of downloading updates for 10.4.11 from Apple. The computer was running very slowly at that point.
3) I tried to move my Nik Software plug-ins from my old CS2 to CS3. Couldn't get it to work, so dragged them to the desktop until everything else is resolved. Can't imagine that that would make much difference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
