So I have an Epson Workforce ET-4500 Ecotank Color Ink Jet printer. I'm having trouble printing these covers out in color using Adobe Photoshop (I have a PC).

In the past, I would use my mother's Apple computer and printer to knock out my covers but hers has broken and thus I'm trying to use mine at my house. The problem is, the covers are coming out in black and blue instead of the correct colors (no red, yellow, etc). I think something called "colorsync" is happening.

I'm not a really amazing computer guy so I could really use some help here if anyone has encountered these issues or has advice for me. Maybe using a different program to print the covers off of instead of Adobe Photoshop?

Help! Thanks in advance for reading!

If you guys use a pc to print off your covers, could you tell me what program you use to view and then print the files ? I was using photoshop on a mac but the printer is down so I'm trying to use my pc. What program should I open the cover files in ?

Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

O use Photoshop cs6

You have a PC? Are CS6 and CS3 free to download somehow? Or should I buy them?

I have both pc and laptop

At first I have to clarify that i live in the Dominican Republic and here  there's no low downloading "free programmes " with everything you need to be install  ::) :P . I download it but I don't remember from where, I will check. I had before Cs5 the same way.

But you can use Photoshop CS2 (I think that some users here have mention that is free and legal to download).

Note: admins, if I have mention something not allow feel free to delete this post

Hit print, then click the "print settings..." button and take a screencap for me.  There's probably something overriding Photoshop's ability to make the decision about the settings.
