What am I doing wrong? I made a cool card in PSE, flattened it, changed into JPEG...but all my printer does is spitting out blanc papers.

I am a little desprit by now, because I want to finish this card so badly and give it to my collegue tomorrow who heard some pretty bad news about his wife of three months.

Help me!
 
How are you printing it?
Like, some people send things to print straight from PS(or PSE), but I don't do that. I open the jpg itself and then tell it to print.
 
can you print from a different program such as Word or Powerpoint? if so - I would bring the card into one of those programs to print...
 
I print the way Colleen says. So I save it like a jpg and then print through my printing program. Never had this issue before.

I tried through word, and it works, but the measurements are not 100% anymore, so for now it's OK but this is not ideal.

My printer is also very SLOOOOOOOOOW at the moment. Maybe it's telling me something. It's just so frustrated that you know you are not doing anything wrong, but it keeps spitting empty papers at me :cursing:
 
I print straight from PSCS3 and I've never had a problem. Your problem could be more with the printer? Have you gone to the printer Control Panel to print a test print and/or clean the print heads?
 
I somehow missed this thread earlier. Hope you've worked it out? But wanted to post. I also print directly from Photoshop (I use Elements) and have never had an issue. I prefer printing directly from photoshop because I don't run into the sizing issues like you had. When I've tried printing from Word or another program, it always seems like I have to mess with the size - it never seems true to size for some reason. I don't run into that issue when I print directly from my Photoshop.

But it sounds more like a printer issue to me. My suggestion would have been the same as Heather's - run a test page from your printer's control panel thing, clean print heads, etc.
