    description of the problem: when I try to print a page containing the coloured elements, the elements of color can not print. (The items are completely absent, they are not replaced by gray-scale images) I did all the usual things, according to the list: -.

    Troubleshooting: 1) restarted my computer.
    (2) disconnected the USB cable and reconnected.
    (3) changed the color cartridge.
    (4) examine the printer settings in the Control Panel, the color is selected and all other settings seem normal.
    (5) cleared the printer as your 'default' and re-installed.
    (6) run software that checks the driver is up to date and it is.
    (7) printed the built in 'beautiful color made easy' test page only the header and footer to print, no color!
    Exchange: no, nothing has been changed.

    Apart from the mentioned measures check the dates of warranty on the cartridges as shown here.  If they are years of the warranty period, is it possible the cartridges have failed, even though they were new in the box.  Also gently pat dry the printhead on a damp cloth to ensure that there are stripes of color cyan, magenta and yellow.  If there is not a task of strong color on the fabric the cartridges are probably the cause.

    The only black test page confirms that the issue is in the printer or cartridges, not with the computer or the drivers.

  • Broken color managed printing?

    Color of Adobe Lightroom CC 2015.6 printing management (6.6) are broken and Adobe suggests that this is due to a change of Apple in their operating system.  True or false?

    ml https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/Unexpected-Colors-when-Printing-Mac.HT

    Yes, printing from 2015.5 CC Photoshop and Lightroom CC 2015.6 on Mac OS for inkjet printers using custom paper profiles causes weird results.

    Fortunately I am using older versions of Photoshop and Lightroom where this issue does not arise.

    Windows users are not affected.

    Some Mac users have tried with some success in the slope to an earlier version of CC see this report: install older versions of Cloud Creative applications

    It is clearly a problem of Adobe and will not be solved until they update Photoshop and Lightroom.

  • LaserJet Pro 200n: problem printing PDF with HP Laserjet Pro 200n

    Hello

    I have problems printing of PDFs of our color laserjet pro 200 hp MFP M276n.

    I get a sheet of paper and a blank message on the printer saying 49 service error - power off, then on

    I can print from word/excel documents. It started only recently, and the printer used to work properly. I have updated the firmware of the printer from the Web site and also downloaded the new driver software and deleted, reinstalled the printer.

    Connected printer throgh network, using the static IP address. I have reset the default printer and reinstall with a different IP address. The problem still exists.

    Let me know what to do for them.

    Hello

    My printer now works, and it is wrapped only because two or three color toner runs out, and the printer to enter this mode. Really stupid... as I tried to print the document B & W, and then set the options pint to print grayscale.

    In any case, the solution for me is that make sure toner all have dye in it, and youi don't have no cominng message saying 'Replace cyan"etc...

  • HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless: Unable to print labels on my HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless color inkjet printer

    Hello Forum,

    I don't want to appear redundant, however, I always have the same problem, cannot print on different media (for example. Labels, Matt / glossy papers, etc.) other than plain white paper. As I said in my original post (below), I tried different settings, different programs, etc., without any result. The printer does that pass through without printing media, leaving the error / blinking yellow light.

    I believe that this printer is able to manage different media other than paper white just to 'stick '. Again, I ask your help to solve this problem. It is and has been, very frustrating trying to overcome this restriction of printing!

    Thank you all!

    (Original post)

    I can't get my HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless inkjet color printer to print CD / DVD labels. I have tried various printer / paper options but the printer just feeds the media (in this case 'Fellows' brand matte CD 2-top) then spits it right back with result error amber light flashing.

    Printing has a sensor that determines if the paper is loaded and feeding properly into the printer.  If you print on media that is colored or printed features we can confuse the sensor.

    One thing to try - cut a strip of the sticky part of a post-it note maybe 1 "wide by 1/4".  Attach it to the top left of the sheet of labels on the side to be printed, the long side on the short side of the paper.  This will then put face down into the printer, with the band on the upper right of the tray paper.  After printing, you can remove it and reuse it for the next page.

  • Problem printing with HP Deskjet 5150

    Hello, I have a problem with my HP Deskjet 5150 color inkjet printer. A few months ago, I noticed that all the documents I want to print are printed with the left margin of the page wider than the right margin; Instead, both margins have the same width. This question concerns the documents in general, and not of documents printed with a specific software only.
    All computers that use the printer have Windows 7 as operating system. I tried to install the drivers of online support for the transition from Windows Vista to Windows 7, but the problem remains.

    What can I do?

    Thank you.

    Hi andrewshort94,

    Thank you very much!

    With this, it is certainly a problem with the hardware of the printer, and because all computers are Windows 7, there is no HP software to try other things.

    You need a Windows XP computer to install this printer to be able to access the HP Toolbox to perform alignment and things of this nature, as it was the last operating system supported the full features software. If you do not have access to a Windows XP computer, I might suggest that you start looking in getting another printer. You can call the HP Technical Support and inquire about trade and commerce program to see what kind of offers they have for you

    Hope this helps, have a nice day!

  • Problems printing on all Adobe applications

    I work in a design studio and we had persistent problems with printing - and we have assumed that the problem was with our printer. We get washed out color, lack of definition and detail and the garish colors that do not resemble the image on the screen. Here is a part of print - it's a crowd at a conference.

    IMG_4133.JPG

    It's just a picture of a print from my iPhone, but I hope you can see where it is strange, faded 'gaps' in the shadow. We have three designers, and we all experience exactly the same kind of printing problems. During this inquiry, my colleague has printed the same preview image and look what happened.

    IMG_4134.JPG

    All the details and colors restored. And we were able to print with the word precision too. If the problem was with Adobe throughout, but since these are the only applications that we print, we had not realised. (Photoshop and acrobat print just as bad.)

    I went through the long impression here troubleshooting guide, and I also used all the different settings I see print. The partial solution only I found is: print > output > color:- and change the setting from "Test CMYK" to "Composite RGB. This allows to slightly improve the quality of printing, but still nowhere near as good as preview or Word. (I'm also wary about the use of this parameter because it is probably not the correct setting to use!)

    If anyone has any ideas on what we can try then I would be very happy! Thank you

    CMYK profiles are all specific to the device. RGB to export allows to work without knowing the conditions of exit in advance, or re-purpose to different output devices, without renouncing any color quality unnecessarily. If you feel that you must work in CMYK mode, then you MUST know the correct output profile before you start, and I recommend to assign this same profile the profile of work document (this in the Edit menu), that are not necessarily the same profile selected in the color settings.

    I have not worked with a printer who wanted native files over the years. Industry standard was PDF for more than ten years in the United States, although I'm sure there are other parts of the world who are not also updated. They would reject a file with RGB images makes me think that they have no idea how to do to really work with InDesign, or that they do not want to take responsibility for their own lack of understanding of color management so that they can say the ' color we printed is the color that you have submitted "that should no longer be taken care for you in a color managed workflow.

    I work almost exclusively for printing, including the occasional color-critical Museum catalog, and I have not used anything other than InDesign make layout since about 2002 when version 2.0 was released. Printers that I use include color management, provide output profiles, and my monitors are calibrated. The prints are evidence of contract, which corresponds to what I see on my screen as close as technology allows.

  • Color problem of LABORATORY so that create new Document?

    Color problem of LABORATORY so that create new Document?

    its is possible to open a new Document with the CMYK color Mode

    Screen Shot 2016-06-15 at 12.13.46 PM.png

    You can create a new document with tasks defined in CMYK profile and save it here:

    /Users/ [username] / Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator 19 / fr_FR / New Document profiles

    Why would you do that, though? The laboratory is the best way to represent a blot of ink, if you print with the tones, and if you're not, it is best to not use them.

  • By default Adobe color management print affecting RGB to pages B & w and color printing costs

    Adobe Print of default color management seems to be assigning RGB meta pages n & B and cost of printing color for prints n & B.

    I can manually change the color management for printing printer managed on a basis by printing instead of the default adobe color managed

    who "heals" issue, but I don't seem to be able to save this default setting. Has anyone seen and corrected this problem?

    If you want B & W prints, you must use a profile of color B & W. Adobe apps can do know anything about unless you tell them. Just because it seems gray does not mean it is gray on the technical level. You must read on color management. There is nothing wrong with the PS, you're simply using options and incorrect settings.

    This has happened

    == 1 day with the new computer about two weeks ago.

    Looks like you got the wrong printer selected.

    When you get the print window, choose another printer in your printer dropdown. You seem to have a fax printer selected instead of a physical printer.
