Configure printer colour setting as grayscale

How to configure the Printer colour setting to grayscale as default option in workgroup manager, i am pushing printer drivers for client using workgroup manager but cant set the colour option                                                                     

It really depends on the printer and the application used and the operating system.   You might want to save some default layout configurations in the Page Setup and ask your users to use them when going grayscale.  But since not all printer drivers behave the same way, and not all applications offer Page Setup, that advice is only partially true.

  • Setting to enable Pixma MP560 to print colour text?

         Hi!
         Hope I am in the appropriate section for this problem. I am unable to get my Pixma MP560 to print colour text. Ink levels fine. Is there a setting for this when I click print?
         Regards,
         DG.

    It has to be something in Page Setup.
    Or when the print dialog box comes up there must be a Printer properties dialog button. Open that and make sure it is set to print in color.
    In the System Preferences Printer & Scan is there any settings for the printer.
    As usual working with a Windows PC seem much easier.
    EDIT:
    When you go to Print in the print dialog window is there a Presets section? If there is for your printer click on that and at the bottom there should be "Show Presets..
    Open that  and select a color preset or some that doesn't say B&W.

  • How can I export to PDF for Offset printing including color and grayscale photo's?

    After reading dozens of forum, I still don’t found the answer.
    I made a photobook with full-colur and B/W photos for Offset printing. I want the B/W to be in grayscale to avoid color possible color shades. It seems InDesign doesn’t support grayscale, the images become way to dark. Even with exporting without any colour conversion or destination and/or including original colour profiles, the grayscale pictures are being exported to dark to PDF.
    How can I export to PDF for Offset printing including color and grayscale photo’s?

    Yes, the Photoshop & ID CMYK working spaces are the same
    This can get difficult because the 3 programs handle soft proofing differently.
    The working spaces don't matter, it's the document profile(s) that manage the preview. So here is the same grayscale image placed in ID on top and PS on the bottom. I've set my Photoshop info to show the doc profile in the lower left corner. I can see my InDesign's Document CMYK profile in my Proof Setup (the Working CMYK is different and isn't being used). Both profiles are effectively the same Coated FOGRA39 (Black Ink FOGRA in the case of PS).
    But the previews don't match because I have Overprint turned off, so the InDesign preview is Gamma 2.2 or a "screen" media preview.
    If I turn on Overprint preview I get a match because I'm soft proofing for print:

  • Why is my HP LaserJet 1300n printer automatically set to "Paused"?

    A couple of days ago I updated my Macbook from 10.6.6 to 10.6.8 OS.
    I don't know if this caused the problem, but I just can't print anything, with no application at all.
    The printer gets set to "Paused" and I just cannot change its status unless I delete the printing job, but as soon as I send any other document to the printer (via Airport Extreme) it sets again to "Paused" and nothing seems to help. 
    I've tried deleting the printer configuration, reinstalled driver, even tried setting the printer's IP manually but nothing seems to work.
    —Andy.

    Hey iteachosk!
    On a different discussion someone suggested connecting thru USB directly. It worked!
    I had to restart the printer identification, throwing away previous driver once both the printer and Macbook were connected via USB wire, thus the new driver was not the wireless kind.
    This is not as comfortable as having a wireless connection, but it's ok while we find another solution.

  • Deleted Colour Setting in Bridge, but Photoshop wants to Colour Manage every time I open a file.

    I installed a Colour Setting in Bridge as per a printer's instructions. After I did this, every time I open something in Ps, It asks if it can colour manage the file and gives a few options. I deleted a Creative Suite Colour Setting from finder Bridge, but Photoshop still generates the popup every time. This interferes with Scripts in Ps and it's very annoying.

    Deleting something in Bridge certainly won't help.

  • Newbie PDF screen display/print colour problem

    First let me say I've been searching through the forums for an answer for my problem and drawn a blank, mostly I suspect because I'm not exactly sure what the problem is.  Also I understand the basics of colour profiles but a large proportion of it goes over my head.
    The problem:
    Our key "corporate" colour is C0 M100 Y75 K25 - I can get reliable and pretty consistent print colour that I am happy with, across a range of devices from documents I produce in Indesign
    For screen output e.g. our website, taking an average of several different devices and monitors (none with any kind of calibration i.e. an average user) this equates to approx R130 G11 B34
    I am producing a number of PDF 'factsheets' that will be downloadable from the website and I anticipate that some people will just view these 'on screen' and some will print out for reference.
    The problem is C0 M100 Y75 K25 and R130 G11 B34 look radically different when viewed on screen or printed - I almost need a PDF 'screen' profile and print profile within the same document. I know I can get a match on my screen if I calibrate it, but I need it to look more or less correct for anybody who views the PDF.
    I hope I've explained this clearly enough and any help or direction anyone can give would be really appreciated!
    Thanks in advance

    Ahhhh...I see what you are saying now Rob.  Unfortunately the docs don't soft proof correctly on my display either - take on board that my display is not calibrated and also I would think 99.9% of the target audience for the PDF won't have a calibrated display either - so I am after a solution that falls to the lowest common denominator.
    However, if my understanding of what you are saying is correct, if I had a profile that I could use on my uncalibrated monitor that soft-proofs correctly (more or less - I'm not going for absolute accuracy, just somewhere in the right ballpark), then using the PDF/X4 preset with that profile set would mean others opening the PDF on similarly uncalibrated monitors would also see the more or less correct colours?
    Would that profile not throw the colours out on the print if that end user then decided to print it out?
    Again, apologies for the simple nature of the questions, but I've only been using InDesign for about 8 months and so far I've lived with the colours appearing wrong on screen as I've known they come out how I expect at print time.  This is the first thing I've done where I would like it to look more-or-less correct on screen as well as in print.
    Thanks for taking the time to reply, I really do appreciate it

  • Switch off printer colour management

    Hello,
    I am on a Mac Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and using IDCS5 to print to a Canon Pro 9500 printer.
    When I get to the print dialog, I can only select colour handling by indesign. There is no option for colour managed by printer which is fine because I would prefer to have indesign manage the colours.
    However when I go to printer settings dialog I cannot turn off the printer colour management. There are two radio buttons only in the colour matching section. One is canon colour matching and the other is Coloursync from which I can select from various colour profiles.
    I can't figure out how to disable colour mangement from the printer driver.
    Can someone help me with this please?
    Jach

    I can see what you are saying about objects with different profiles in one indesign document. But the output has to be just one profile - in my case my custom built profile for the type of paper and my inkjet printer.
    So if my understanding is right - Indesign takes the number colours from the various objects in the document and convert them to numbers that my printer will use for a particular type of paper. To do this conversion indesign needs a recipe, and that recipe is in the form of my custum built profile.
    However, what is happening so far, is that indesign is converting the colours using my profile but then the printer driver is also doing some form of conversion which is messing up the colours.
    What I did try is select the right profile in the indesign print dialogue and then went to printer settings and chose colour sync and the same profile from the drop down list. I was hoping that selecting the same profile in both indesign and printer driver would result in preventing double profiling. However the results were bad.
    I am not sure how choosing DocumentRGB is going to help. Because my colour setting across the adobe suite is ProPhoto RGB for the RGB settings.
    If I go to the drop down menu for printer profile, one of the options I get is "DocumentRGB - ProPhotoRGB". Wouldn't this be wrong if some of the images in my document are sRGB or some other colour space?

  • Disabling printer colour management

    Hi,
    my prints are coming out very dark on my Epson 4400 from photshop CS6 on my Mac OS X10.8.5
    In the print window it says to disable the printer colour management from the print settings dialogue box but I can't find this anywhere. I have seleceted Photoshop to manage the colours.
    Any advice much needed!

    It should be in your main Print window...Print > Color Handling.  I have mine set for "Let Printer Manage Colors" because the Epson driver has a lot of options I want to take advantage of and is engineered to interpret application color settings accurately.

  • How do I get the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus to print only black or grayscale? What is the procedure?

    How do I set my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus to print only black or grayscale?  What is the procedure?

    Hi, Looks like you have to do this from the aplications. Here is the procedure from its manual, page #36: 1. Load paper in the tray. For more information, see Load media.
    2. On the File menu in your software application, click Print.
    3. Make sure the printer you want to use is selected.
    4. To change settings, click the button that opens the Properties dialog box. Depending on your software application, this button might be called Properties, Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences.
    5. Change the paper orientation on the Layout tab, and paper source, media type, paper size, and quality settings on the Paper/Quality tab. To print in black and
    white, click the Advanced button, and then change the Print in Grayscale option.
    6. Click OK.
    7. Click Print or OK to begin printing Regards.

  • How can I prevent Adobe PDF printer being set as default on first logon on a computer?

    Hi all,
    When a computer with either Adobe Acrobat X Pro or Adobe CS6 installed and a user logs on a computer for the first time the computer processes GPO's which define which print queues they are to use.
    Unfortunately, once this is done, Adobe PDF Printer configuration kicks off, setting the Adobe PDF Printer as default. This is remedied by logging out and logging back in again, but this is annoying for the users (to say the least).
    Since a lot of the users rarely use the same computer on a day to day basis, this is a common occurrence, and I would like to know how I can prevent the Adobe PDF printer from setting itself as default upon configuration.
    Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

    Hi Cato-L,
    Are you trying to do on single machine or multiple machines.
    Have you got any solution yet.

  • Configure Printer Port??

    I am trying to install Create PDF.  I have reached a screen that tells me to put some information into the Configure Printer Port.  What Configure Printer Port?  Where??

    Hisami,
    I just tried that.
    The printer preference on the control panel was set as  "p ortrait", so I changed it to "landscape", but it still created the pdf in "portrait".
    So I changed the printer preference, and I checked the printer properties, and they both were set for  "landscape", but the pdf was still created in "port rait".
    Is there any other setting , which may be the problem??
    Thank you.

    Can a printer be set up on a iPad without the use of a computer? I won't to discard mt laptop and only use the iPad. I ordered a hp3050a which meets the spec....but it requires that the cd be used for see . this is fine for the initial set up but how do I fix or reconfigure if I do not have a computer?

  • Configure printer resolution in Brother DCP-7055

    Hi all.
    I'm setting up a multifunction Brother DCP-7055 printer Archlinux, using the official driver, which is installed and running, but when configure print only lets me choose between 600 dpi and HQ1200dpi, when using it under Windows 7 used 300dpi. I wanted to know if there is any way to configure it to accept this resolution.

  • My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back.  It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?

    My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back.  It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?

    Wow!  I think I had this same issue just last night.
    I was cleaning my macbook pro retina on the outside.  Then I opened it up and was wiping dust off the monitor and I can't pinpoint exactly when, but the colors changed suddenly.  It looked super strange, it was like green halo's and it looked worse when looking at it at an angle.  Of course I took no pictures!!!  I was freaking out that my 2 grand laptop was busted and I somehow removed a protective film or something.
    But I digress...  The image looked very green and spacey, it was almost a neat effect.  After about 5 minutes it started to look a little more digital though.  There were straight lines of this halo effect on the edges and top.  After about 10 minutes it turned into a predominate issue with the blacks on screen.  I could open a web browser and it was unnoticable on a white background.  After about 15 minutes, you could only barely see the green cloud effect if you looked at the monitor from an extreme angle.  After about 20 minutes, it was completely back to normal, I almost feel paranoid like I see a halo or something strange.  But I believe that might be all in my head now.
    So yerp, lemme know what you guys figure out.
