Strange photo printing problem.

Windows 7 SP1 runs on a home-built PC (Intel Core 2 Duo E8400/Nvidia 8600GT) my printer is a HewlettPackard Deskjet 1050 A., I'm having a problem very strange printing photos and other images.

If the image is stored on my PC, it will print only in shades of gray, well that the images display correctly in color on the monitor. Images printed directly from the internet using "file > print" in the menu of the browser print in color.

Diagnostic and test pages print in color, as expected. Color of text prints correctly. In "Printing Options", "Print in grayscale" is disabled. I thought initially a printer problem, but printer diagnosis and convenience stores to find nothing wrong.

I think that the problem must be in the attributes or properties of the image, but I don't know where to begin the search in order to find a solution.

Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Gary,

In addition to answering the question about the types of files which are giving you the problem, what program you use to view and print the files saved on your computer?

If you are using the Windows Photo Viewer (Windows 7 by default), see--> http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-pictures/jpegs-only-print-in-black-and-white-via-the-image/b9c1a406-b046-48d3-b9c3-ab23279c8b3a

  • Photosmart 5520: Photo printing problem

    I've just set up my new printer wireless to my PC and my ipad with no problems.   I just printed photo of

    both using HP photo paper supplied with the printer, but the quality is terrible!  The ink is running in all directions and

    take ages to dry, the colors are facing eachother, what makes the image completely garbled.  I'm not a fool!, I have

    used various brands of printers over the years and found that the installation of ink cartridges is similar regardless of the brand.

    I checked then double that they are clicked in place firmly.  I followed all of the implementation procedures.

    I'm doing something wrong, or should I just try a different type of photo paper?   Printing simple text on A4 is fine.

    Hi @mum50,

    I think you are something! I suspect that the problem is probably related to the book, but it might be better to use the following document to completely solve the problem: the problems of quality Print to the HP Photosmart 5520 e-all-in-one-HP Deskjet Ink Advantage e-all-in-one 5520, Printer series.

  • photo printing problem

    Windows 7 through Canon Mg5250 wireless printer. Tried to print digitally altered photos (jpeg) but draws no printed not properly.

    The printed image is over-saturating on the Greens and the green color is bleeding, loss of definition. Other colours have a green tint except Red, which are also denaturing. Printing photos without or with little green color are not affected. Change of paper and the nozzle check did not solve the problem.

    Anyone able to propose what is the problem and how to fix would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Your best bet is to contact Canon as they are experts with their products.

  • HP Photosmart C4640 photo printing problem

    Whenever I want to print a picture, it always comes out wrong. Only half or 75% of the photo is printed on the paper. I print almost always 4X6s. I also vertical lines appear in the photo, there is ink on the back of the photo paper. I once before changed both ink cartridges and had the printer align them (came out as normal). I recently updated my OS to Windows 8.1 and uninstalled and reinstalled the printer for this OS. I printed in color and in black and white to see if that makes a difference, and it's not. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • photos printing problem

    Our printer/scanner (model C309g) works very well with most of our printing needs.

    But when we try to print photos of our new granddaughter, they come out very overexposed (too red/orange color).

    I use photo paper and ink color of HP.  Ironically, it prints fine on plain paper.

    What I am doing wrong?

    The photo ink was the solution.

    Hi @dmanyeah,

    Thank you for reaching out to the forums! I understand that you encounter printing problems in Word, the full image is not printing. Thanks for providing the screenshots. I'd love to help you.

    Try to print a picture from another application to see if you have the same problem.

    To exclude the driver, install a generic driver to see if you have the same results.

    • On the computer, go to start, devices and printers, right-click on your printer and select printer properties.
    • Click the Advanced tab and click new driver, and then click Next.
    • HP Deskjet 9800 by selecting in the list or the Deskjet 990c printer, click Next, Finish, and apply the settings. (you can always go back and revert to the original printer driver)

  • Vista/Viewer Photo Gallery print problem with canon ip2500

    Can someone enlighten me on a problem of color photo printing quality.

    Running a relatively new machine Vista OS and Canon IP2500 inkjet printer, photo impressions paper out of looking very weak and faded, if printed photo gallery / print Viewer.

    However, the printer seems to work perfectly OK producing images all in color, if the same photo, for example, is inserted into a Word document and then print.

    I can't find any adjustment managed to make in the printer driver software, to improve the situation.

    Is there a known issue with this combination of technology, or someone at - it a solution for me to be able to print correctly from the photo gallery / print viewer.

    Thanks for any help,

    Gerry

    Hi GerryWise

    You have the latest drivers installed for the printer?

    I suggest you to make sure you have the latest drivers installed for the printer.

    Also after you select print in Photo Viewer, windows or windows live photo gallery you will get a new window asking "How do you want to print your photos?

    Here, you must select 'document Type' (default value is regular paper which will result in faded prints). Choose the correct photo paper for your paper stock settings.

    Then, you may or may not get a "Print preview" window according to your printer settings, preferably with additional choices for setting printer. Check the preview as well and move forward.

  • V313 strange printing problem

    I'm trying to help a friend to me with its computer system. The computer is a new 64-bit model that is running Windows 7. Everything works well except for his Dell V313w printer. The printer is connected directly to the computer via a USB cable (no network or wireless factor is involved). When we try to print something (anything) beyond a single length page, the first page prints, but then nothing else does (and even this is not always the case). Yet, the rest of the file queued is stuck in the print queue and cannot be deleted in the normal way. It must be deleted manually via the clearing print queue (stop the spooler service, clear the record of spool printing, etc.). For example, what impression Windows page test, the first page is printed, but it seems to cut down before printing is complete. There is a long list of drivers used by this printer and print only the upper part of the letters of the last line on the page. Then... nothing. I must stress that the printer is able to print a Dell printing test page is launched from the printer itself (and not software Dell printer home that works - or doesn't work - all the rest is that we try to print from the computer). I deleted and reinstalled the software of the printer from scratch, I have updated the drivers and the printer software to the latest versions (by the Dell website). I used a different USB port on the computer and another USB cable between the printer and the computer. None of these things helped him. There seems to be some sort of communication problem between the computer and the printer V313. However, I have even hooked another printer on the same machine (same port, same cable, etc.), and it works perfectly. Thus, it seems that the communication problem is on the side of Dell printer. I would be very happy any help anyone can offer with this frustrating problem. Thank you.

    JRN92,

    In the batch of December of Windows updates, Microsoft has installed Internet Explorer 11. IE11 caused printer problems.

    Open Internet Explorer, click on help, then click about words of Internet Explorer. It should show the version here. If you IE11, then go to control panel, Windows Update, updates installed, look for Internet Explorer 11. Click Internet Explorer 11, uninstall.

    Restart the computer when you are prompted. Then see if your printer works.

  • my photo print black on my ipad, why?

    has changed my printer to print photos from my iPad mini. But the pictures to print so dark. have lightened the photos, but it makes no difference. waste a lot of ink and photo paper!  Would like to have an explanation. Thank you

    If the pictures look ok on the iPad, it's a printer problem, not an iPad. I contact the manufacturer of the printer or get the printer replaced if it is new. Not much else you can do with the iPad is thin, sorry.

  • Want 5640: A6 Photo prints

    I put my setting on the printer to print A6 (10 x 15 cm). I just get the error that chose the format is not supported in the photo tray. A4, I got the main tray works well. I tried with Photoshop and also Lightromm with the same result.

    If I choos automatic bin the printer uses the main tray for A4. This printer are just crazy to me. Had a Photosmart before that worked much better. It's the shit.

    Edit: I can´t change the status bar on the screen printers. Photo tray is grayed out, only the main tray can be used.

    Hi @Tomo53,

    Please become a member of the HP's Support Forums. I understand that you have a problem with the select paper size. I'll be happy to help you.
