Mac OS 10.4.8 printing to a HP LaserJet 5000N.

Used to work with an older version of Photoshop, now I can't control the screen angle, dot shape or dpi.

Someone has to have an answer to this.

the settings are in your print dialogue box which is accessed when you go to print.

That's where they used to be, In CS4, they're not there. Not to adjust screen angles etc.

I switched from Photoshop 7 to CS4 when my old computer, an old MDD Mac. The old set-up allowed me the control CS4 doesn't.

they made it a little different (!) than having the halftone button in the print dialogue box.

here you go:

are you doing the halftones in photoshop and then outputting to your printer or are you letting the HP LaserJet 5000N handle the halftones (i believe that model has an onboard rip as most HPs do)?

i've never output films from photoshop, i place my seps in illustrator and output from there (the options are all there in illustrator). i did just check to see where the settings are in photoshop and i do not see them either.

yeah i do mine through illy too and that's why i thought they were still in the dialogue box.

i found that link and tried it out on a test file and it worked great, although it took more time to accomplish the task than just going to illy and importing layers.
