I'm using Photoshop 7.0 on a sawtooth G4 (400mhz agp) with 10.2.2 and 704mb of ram. Today I had just printed a 45mb file to my Epson 2000P. When I returned to the machine, the print was just finishing, and Photoshop had closed down. When it doest this, I'm usually not at the machine when this happens and there is no dialog box saying PS has crashed and that other apps are not affected. I do get seemingly random crashes of other apps. Explorer last night, for example. I haven't been able to reproduce any of these crashes. Do I need to reinstall X? or Photoshop? I have X on a spacious new 120gig drive. I installed it fresh a couple of months ago, though I would have used CCC if I'd known about it then. I looked at the Adobe Photoshop 7.0crash.log in the CrashReporter folder and found the information below. There are similar entries for other crashes all with the same exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001). What does this mean and what should I do about it? Hmmm, I've just had a look at the console log and it talks about an error while printing! This happened while I was printing a 13x19 sheet in the printer. Aside from being a bit off color, the print worked fine. I do have a problem each time I go to print to the epson. It says there is a communications error and I have to go to the print monitor, stop the job and restart the job. Then it prints fine. I have to do this each time I print. I haven't had time to chase that problem down yet. I've just been happy it prints. Any Ideas? Reinstall the printer driver? Thanks in advance.
