Need to calibrate the new monitors before printing/editing in LR?

Hello!  Do I need to calibrate my new monitor before doing all my editing and possible printing?  I just got this computer, so I don't know if it is already calibrated, at least for the first month.  Of course, I don't know how long it sat in the warehouse, but at least I know it is new and has never been used.

Thank you!

  • P1102 - why I have to press the power button before printing

    Hello

    I was wondering if anyone else knows how to avoid this problem. We have a P1102 connected via USB on Win 7 64 bit.

    Is there a setting somewhere that allows us to not have to press the power button on the printer before printing. It is now connected to the pc. The pc is turned off at night.

    It is very annoying to have to push the button before printing. This may sound trivial, but our old Hp laserjet 1100, only has been replaced with this P1102 as the new pc have no place for a parallel port card, and you never had to press the power button before printing with that, this feels like a step and is very disappointing.

    Thanks in advance.

    It seems that the printer software is not save the auto power off feature is set to never.  I would definitely try update the internal firmware of the printer to see if updating automatic stop is set to never work.

    Click here to access the download page for the Laserjet Firmwares.  Select the P1100 series in the drop-down list.

    This should be done so that a USB cable to connect the printer and the PC.  I would like to know if the firmware is able to get the printer to stay alive.

  • Problems connecting to a projector. Laptop recognizes the new monitor but projector does not display anything.

    I have a Macbook Pro (non-retina display) mid-2012. I have a mini VGA screen that worked throughout the year and all of a sudden, it doesn't seem to work. My computer recognizes the new monitor (screen flickers and flies all content secondary screen) but the projector does not display anything. I tried to reconnect the cable, the cable VGA switch to turn on the projector and turn off, restart my computer and clouds of dust on the connections. Sometimes if I move the connection just that will work, but if I so much as breathe on it or watch funny it stops and I can't get it back.

    Jiggle the cable or adapter is something different, you have a physical adapter or cable problem. Any bit-reversal can help that.

  • a trial had now paid for cloud do I need to uninstall the trial version before that I can use these products?

    I had a trial version and now am signed up to use the cloud as a student. What do I need to uninstall the trial version before you can start to download all the items I want to use?  When I was reading and watching the tutorial it said to uninstall the beta version.  I am just learning to use the software and do not exactly know how to start to use the range of products that I buy for 19.99 per month.  Need to achieve as soon as possible for school projects.

    No, you can leave your version in place. When you install the application manager, it will recognize their and serialize the apps for you to use. Only reinstall if thast doesn't work properly.

  • Video chip does only not with the new monitor

    I have a HP pavilion p624of pc with original video express chip intel g45/g43. I buy a new widescreen Acer, S201HLbd I series have problems to display videos and video advertisements on my desk.

    Acer support said that the problem is with the drivers. I have check the HP website and don't see any update for drivers intel original; running the disk HP Manager, (3rd party provider, I guess), it tells me that my video drivers are outdated, and I need to get from the computer manufacturer. Where can I find an update of my current video drivers be able to watch videos on my desk. I connected the acer monitor to my laptop and it works fine. I started in safe mode and the video will work. It is not all the videos, but some that will be distorted, shine or have a black box in front of them. Need to find a new updated drivers, but where?

    Hello:

    Have you tried to change the screen resolution of different setttngs?  For example, if you went to a 4:3 to widescreen (16:9) display monitor you need to change the resolution to a wide screen resolution.

    Run the Intel driver update utility and it will scan your PC and give you downloads for all Intel devices that need updated drivers.

  • Portable remote will not be printed in the new HP4622 wireless printer

    My new HP 4622 print cellphone woman (Compaq Presario CQ-60-224NR w / Windows Vista) in another part of the House on my Centurylink DSL home network with very good connectivity.  I have the printer installed to my office (gateway Microsoft XP SP3) and it prints fine from the office.  Is the printing software must also be installed on the laptop?  I sent a .jpg file to the printer from the laptop and it printed a single line in unicode? code per page until I cancel the job from the print queue. I went through the installation guide a couple of times and nothing is fixed.  Test results say that everything going and installation is successful.  I downloaded and tried the impression of physician assistant, and he said no problem found.  I had McAfee total protection, could there be a firewall issue?  I don't know about the activation of ports or that sort of thing.  I spilled a Lexmark X 7170 perfectly good all-in-one, because it was not wireless and we couldn't set up for print-to-peer.  Now I have a new wireless printer and subsequently to go to print remotely either.  Hope you can help.  Let me know if you need more information.  Thank you.

    Hi Ken,

    It seems that the system restarts erased all your duplicate entries.

    The HP 4622 and 4622 FAX are the drivers, you need to be running. Microsoft Image Writer and XPS Document Writer are installed by default by Windows, you can ignore these.

    You should be good to go.

  • W530 need to use the external monitor as the main

    I have a training environment with the help of portable computers W530, who are locked in a box in front of the offices. It is not practical to reach the computer as it's hidden and so I need to use the dvi cable external monitor for the configuration of the bios, boot order, etc..

    Currently, boot options are hidden from the external screen until windows loads. The external monitor would then become active. A way around the monitor to the laptop altogether?

    Thank you

    Russ

    VGA is driven by Nvidia, so apply the same parameters. Comes to the boot monitor in VGA BIOS (I forgot what we call this specific setting, as my W530 is at home). You should always pass nvidia Optimus only.

  • DeskJet 6940: ethernet connection between the new modem and printer does not transmit Mac

    I just installed a new modem to Qwest; It works wirelessly with my iMac 10.11. My old (but functional until yesterday) Deskjet 6940 is connected to the modem via Ethernet. When I try to print, the document seems to be transmitted to the printer, but then it hangs on and I get the message "the printer is not connected" - which it is, plugged, ethernetted, and set in motion. Support of Qwest says that only 10% of the info from the computer are the printer, but he seems to think that the part of the new modem Ethernet is functional,

    I have already tried all unplug/restart/send/add printer new check/updates / IP (cannot connect) / ethernet ports and cables, etc.

    Any other ideas?

    Thank you!

    Hi @newgranny,

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    It is good that the printer has been able to print a diagnostic page.

    Ensure that the router and firewall on the market do not block these ports.

    Ports of printing:

    • UDP ports: 427, 137, 161
    • TCP port: 9100

    Card photo upload:

    • UDP ports: 137, 138, 427
    • TCP port: 139

    The HP device status:

    • UDP port: 161

    Ports of Web Services:

    • UDP and TCP: 80, 443, 5222 and 5223

    Hello Ports:

    • TCP and UDP: 5353 and 5297, 5298

  • P1102w - new router, the new network not printing

    I had the 1102w all set up and running on my network printing from 4 different computers. This morning, I changed a combination of westell/Belkin modem/router for a new modem router from verizon. I created a new network with wpa2 security. I got all the computers in place but the printer does not print - printer dialog reported an error in printing (no error message, just with the special printer, an error has been reported). The blue light continues to blink. I thought that it was because the printer was trying to talk with the new modem but did not have the wpa key. It also meant that I could not go in the printer from one of the computers to change the wireless settings. I tried to install it on my Surface via the USB port, but then I didn't know what to do. I tried the reboot and reset everything. I even disabled the security on the network then it would not require a password. But still, the blue LED flashes quickly and then turns off. The configuration page shows all 0.0.0.0 for different addresses even theough the computer is always looking on the IP that the printer used to keep.

    Help, please! How can I get the printer to reconnect to my network?

    Hello

    To connect the printer to your new wireless router, you must use the interface for installing software as follows:

    1. Download and run the latest version of the software below. escape in the installation, and then close the configuration screen that is launched:
      http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-80329-8&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&OS=4132&product=4110396&sw_lang=
    2. Navigate to C:\LJP1100_P1560_P1600_Full_Solution and run the HpSetup.exe file.
    3. Select easy install, then the Series HP Laserjet Professional P1100w.
    4. Select Configure to print over wireless network.
    5. Click next and follow the instructions on the screen.
      Note: the installation invites you to temporarily connect a USB cable to put the settings back wireless to the printer, be sure to unplug the unit once configuration is complete and the installation invites you to do so.

    Once configuration is complete, don't forget to restart the other PC and ensure that everything is running.

  • Need to reset the external monitor resolution in Windows Vista

    Stupidly, I changed the resolution of my new external monitor on my laptop to a not available (single mode external monitor) and received a message on the screen: "out of range" + white screen. No matter how hard I tried, I can't use one external monitor mode and must live with double display (which is a waste of energy on my tiny laptop screen). Could someone tell me please how to reset the resolution setting in Vista for the external monitor?

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    You can try the steps below and check if the problem is resolved.

    You can go to the control panel of the screen and reset it to factory settings.

    And if you face the same problems, then, you must contact your system provider who will be in a better position to help you reset the external screen to its default state.

    As a workaround, so check you have function keys on your portable computer, which can go from a monitor to your laptop and external monitor.

    If Yes, then try to return to the screen of the laptop and turn off the external monitor.

    Hope this information is useful.

    Thank you, and in what concerns:
