Photos color printing has suddenly deteriorated - why?

Print 16 ~ 4 x 6 color prints of Photos last night without problem. Now, it can reach very degraded prints, with what appears to be excessive black ink, with wetlands where black is color. Color prints copies and text n & B without difficulty. Have Photos 1.5 (370.42.0); El Capitan 10.11.5. For Canon MX 920 series printer - over 1 year and no previous problem. Would appreciate any suggestions. Print with the same settings as before, but with significantly different results. Copies color looks OK, seems unlikely to be the problem of the printer?

Try to print a photo from outside the library with preview.  Because both applications use the same components of printing system that we will tell if the problem is with Photos or is the system wide.

  • HP Photosmart 5510e printer has suddenly stopped printing correctly

    Original title: fault printer

    Hello

    I have a HP Photosmart 5510e printer that has suddenly stopped printing correctly because the black ink is not getting through.  I did everything possible troubleshooting I can and replaced all the cartridges for new ones, but nothing helped.  When I did a report print quality he had no black ink on it at all. This leads me to think that there may be a blockage between the cartridge and print head. Any ideas?

    You might want to try this: failure of black ink Photosmart 5510 e-All in one series

    Using cartridges HP no also could cause this kind of problem.  Otherwise, it is usually a sign that the printhead is kaput, impossible to replace this printer print head if the printer is also kaput, on the garbage heap, it will!  That's how it is with printers, you can either pay in advance for a printer expensive hard and has lower cost of Ink/toner replacement or you can buy a cheap and pay through the nose for ink replacement and in a year or two to mix the printer all out with the trash.

  • Printer has suddenly stuck in the queue of work!

    Hello

    My HP 8600 N911g works flawlessly for several months.  I now have a paper stuck in the print queue which will not delete.

    I am connected wirelessely, I can print a page of diagnosis of my computer over the wireless link.

    I can add documents to the file print, and I can delete them later. For this purpose eth ewireless link works.

    I verified that the IP address is Ok.

    However, I can't delete the document that seems to have blocked the system.  I see nothing in the help file or the diagnoses for this problem.

    Need help.

    Kind regards

    Hi Martin,

    Try the following.

    From the desktop, hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run window, type services.msc and press to enter.  Scroll down to the print spooler service, right click and select Properties, then click the Stop button.  Now search for C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS, then delete the work inside this folder - you may need to click a command prompt to get the authority to open the PRINTERS folder.

    Restart the computer and you should find that the document has been deleted.

    Kind regards

  • 'Power saver' mode battery life has suddenly deteriorated.

    Hi - I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit on a laptop Toshiba (plug here).  The laptop is a little less than 2 years old and is in constant daily use.

    My battery life got suddenly shorter.  I know this because of my job (I'm a student, and I'm taking notes for the office of disabled people in my uni, so I have to carry my laptop to all my classes and taking notes).  I often have to run my laptop without being able to connect, as some halls are not equipped for it.  Accordingly, I am very tuned to what I can out of my battery.  Before Christmas, with the power saving mode and the brightness of the screen turned down as down as possible and unnecessary services and programs all does not, I could get about 1 hour and 45 minutes out of the laptop, give or take.  But now, 4 weeks later (beginning of the College's new mandate) I can barely get out of 50 minutes with the same settings.
    I understand that the battery life decreases with age.  However, it is a very sharp and makes me think it's abnormal.
    I would also like to point out that when I move the mouse over the battery meter, there is a distress message / (yellow triangle with "!" inside) under where it says "the current power Plan: energy saving»  The message said: "your current plan may reduce system performance."
    I'm fairly certain that this message never used to be there.  In addition, on the 'High Performance' and 'Balanced' it doesn't have this message!
    I changed the power options advanced to answer me.  But I have reset default values on all levels of electrical energy, in "Change Plan settings" in the "Power Options", but it did not help.
    I just reset the power management using the command line (powercfg - restoredefaultschemes), which got rid of my other projects to be able to staff.  I was not able to check if it worked yet - I'll do it later - but I am not optimistic because this warning message is still there.  

    One last thing: when it is plugged in, that it charges 99%, not 100% as it was!  It is said, "connected - not load."  Can be linked.

    Any ideas?  This is a major drawback for me because I depend on to get out 2 conferences out of my battery!

    PS the display brightness is at the very least, and I can't see new programs or processes that are not running before.   In the past few weeks I did a CC registry clean for the first time.

    The battery probably affects at its end of life... If you have any calibration tool in your bios that run... If this is not the case, a complete emptying and full load may help... Jared Gray - checked CrossLoop Helper - www.crossloop.com/jaredgray

  • Why my photos are printed after work in photoshop to come our with faded color?

    I am on a Mac with Maverick, using Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5. I make a portrait of 24 people and need to combine several photos to obtain a finished product attractive. I move my photos from Lightroom in Photoshop using the mask layers have been combining photos. When I transfer to JPEG and send them to a printer, they come out with a look of faded color. I am at my whits end trying to understand what I am doing wrong. Nobody knows what the solution to this frustrating problem?

    As you can see, gator and I write similar things.  Maybe we were writing our answers at the same time, without the advantage of seeing the other, or your past answers.  It's the nature of the forums, sometimes.  In any case, two different explanations of the same thing can't hurt.

    You are a beginner in LR and PS edition have 16-bit ProPhotoRGB documents, and those that should be converted to 8-bit sRGB to send to an outside entity or even for download on the web.  To do this, you can use LR or PS.

    It was you needed flatten your document and convert to 8 bits before a save in format JPG, but apparently PS - CC allows you do save slot without any of the two, nowadays, that's why you have never had to do.  So the only thing required from you is to convert the color space, and you didn't know you had to until you've seen your impressions and has asked about it, here.

    Save as you dialog box shows the color space that you save, so you can check every time, and he must say sRGB, unless your printer has told you to use something else and you have indicated in your download you use something else outside sRGB.  I expect that almost everywhere these days, expect sRGB, though may have a way to specify a special profile for the particular paper you print on and in this case, you will have download a printer paper-profile and convert to that instead of sRGB.  You can see the details of this in a book or a video.

    I use LR for all my images and only PS for some more complex situations, so I always reimport on LR to PS and use LR to produce all the JPGs to a printer, because many of them have no need to go to PS at all.

    Now, you have understood how to convert sRGB, or do you need more?

  • DeskJet 5500 prints color cartridge 57 but your gray of the 58 photo color cartridge

    My deskjet 5550 is supposed to print color photo with the 58 cartridge inserted into the cartridge slot 2. It has suddenly stopped making and now print only the dull grey tone. I replaced the cartridge with a new one and got the same result. Print the same file using the 57 cartridge to slot 1 still gives the color. Replacing the driver produces no change. I'm on a Mac and I'm printing from iPhoto. Having checked that no filter is in use. Any ideas, what could be wrong and how to fix it?  Thank you.

    The cartrdiges 57 and 58 are necessary all to print the photo. The 57 a Cyan, Magenta and yellow. The 58A Photo Black, Light Magenta and Light Cyan. The printer can print photos with the 57 by itself, but the 58 by itself will not be able to print grayscale because there no yellow. In photo printing normal both cartridges are used together, the 57 provides vivid colors and the 58 provides subtle shades and black areas. When you print on plain paper 56 cartridge replaces the 58. The 56 was ink black pigment which is good for text but not used on photographic support. Regards, Bob Headrick, MS MVP printing and imaging

  • The printer refuses to mix 2 cartridges to print photo (color + black)

    Hello.

    I have printer HP Officejet 4500 Wireless.

    It works fine, but at the last moment, there is a problem.

    When I want to print a photo to the printer refuses to mix cartridges (black + color) in the field of photography.

    For example if I want to print a photo.

    I can print it as a black and white using the black cartridge (by action) OR I can print with the color cartridge only.

    When I print color photo black colors ARE NOT black... It is a mixture of colours (red + blue + yellow)...

    The printer refuses to use 2 cartridges at the same time on the same area... Why?

    When I print a document with images, it prints the text in black, the color of the text, but in the field of photography, he refuses to add the color black... It simulate the black by mixing of the colors(Red+Blue+Yellow)... Why?

    It is only in the AREA that this printer has to use 2 cartridges at the same time in the same place...

    I have 2 cartridges, one black and the other is colored (red, blue, yellow).

    I recharge them and everything is fine... I have printed a lot of pictures...

    The printer considers a HALF FILLED and printed all that I need very good, expect pictures...

    THE PROBLEM APPEARED A WEEK AGO... NOTHING HAS CHANGED...

    I USED TO PRINT PHOTOS AND HE DIDN'T FAKE THE BLACK COLOR...

    That's the problem for me... Because all the photos I print is delivered with a ridiculous BLACK color...

    PS - I understand electronic and parameters. I tried to change the settings of the printer and I tried to change the settings on the computer to change the color settings. I tried to use Photoshop with PRO settings for color printing.

    SOLVED!

    I changed the settings of paper to Matte 'Photo' (although the photo paper is any MAST)

    But now the printer uses a 2 cartridge.
