Lightroom 2.1 upgrade printing problem

I was getting great printing with LR 1 and my Epson R200 printer on Windows XP. My computer died and the new one is on Vista. I upgraded to LR 2.1 while I was at it. now my prints are way off color. I love the new color management features of LR, but there doesn't appear to be a Vista profile for the R200. I tried the one for the R300 and the prints have a decidedly yellow cast, which I can't seem to remove in LR. With the printer managing the color, the prints come out way too dark and weird colored. I need to finish some print orders, any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave

LR 2.1 Final still has the problem of 'sunburned faces' and other somewhat less noticable color shifts on my system.
Win Vista Ultimate x64
Q6600 @ 2.4GHz 8GB RAM
B9180 Printer
Advanced Photo Glossy profile
Application manages color
The same images using the same printer settings on the same system print just fine using Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop CS4 so the problem is definitely in something specific to LR.
And I have reported this to Adobe via http://www.adobe.com/go/wish and I suggest that anyone having printing problems with LR2.1 file a bug report.

  • Lightroom 1.3.1 Printing Problems with Apple OSX 10.5 (aka Leopard)

    Whilst the majority the majority of Leopard related print issues were addressed when Adobe updated Lightroom to 1.3.1 and printer vendors released updated drivers some issues remained and it has been left to users to establish workarounds. One such proven workaround is presented below:
    Information and text by Jason Hicking
    I've been having exactly the same issues running a nearly identical system but on a MacBook Pro with an external Eizo 24" monitor for critical work. My results also mirror yours ie slightly greener and darker prints from LR than PS.
    I've spent literally hours troubleshooting this as I own a digital imaging company that offers printing and colour management to our customers, many of whom have the same setups and same issues. Well I'm glad to say that I seem to have found a (temporary) fix. Read on and let me know your thoughts...
    If you go into the Apple ColorSync Utility (in the Utilities folder on your hard drive) then follow these steps I'm pretty sure you'll get accurate prints that match Photoshops output.
    Step 1 Open ColorSync Utility and click on the Devices button at the top of the window.
    Step 2 Click on the grey arrow to reveal the Printers list
    Step 3 Click on the grey arrow next to "EPSON Stylus Photo R2400"
    Step 4 Locate the profile that relates to the media setting that was used when you created your custom profile. For example I create most of my custom profiles for gloss or satin media using the Premium Semi Gloss media setting so in Colorsync Utility I choose "SPR2400 PremiumSemigloss"
    Step 5 Click on the arrow next the text "Current Profile:" and choose Other...
    Step 6 From the window that opens, choose the profile that you are using to print through in Lightroom, as an example I choose "R24 IlfSmGls PSG NCA" as this is the profile I made to print on Ilford Smooth Gloss and the one I'm selecting in Lightroom.
    Step 7 Click on OK to accept this change and ensure that it's actually changed in the ColorSync Utility window. If everythings OK then close Colorsync Utility and return to Lightroom.
    Step 8 Print from Lightroom, choose the exact same profile and rendering intent that you would normally, click on the Print... button, make sure the preset is set to Standard then select the matching media setting and quality settings that were used to create the profile (as you would when printing from Photoshop), remember to check that No Color Adjustment is set in this part of the driver.
    Step 9 Click on the Print button and in a minute or so you should get a print that matches your Photoshop output and more importantly matches your 'calibrated' screen.
    Step 10 Presuming this works save this setup as a template in Lightroom for future use.
    This may seem long winded in text form but it's a one time operation and I wanted to make sure that every step was included for clarity.
    What I feel is happening is that there is a double profiling issue with print stream from Lightroom to the the Epson driver (v6.12) and by selecting the identical profile in both places we are ensuring that no conversion takes place in the driver, something that simply setting "No Color Adjustment" usually achieves in Photoshop and other older applications that use a different print stream to Lightroom. Also note that even when your profiles are set this way in the Colorsync Utility there is no difference in accuracy or colour when you leave it set like this and print as usual from Photoshop.
    Attached screenshot of ColorSync Utility provided by Ian Lyons
    A Lightroom print tutorial is also provided at: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr_13_print/lightroom_print.htm

    Well, maybe, CS3 is the only one fully compatible, but Photoshop CS and CS2 will work...mostly. There are a couple of niggling little problems, but I have been able to do what I want, one way or another, with CS1. Elements 2 is, like PS7, a dead letter in Leopard, but Elements 3 and 4 work. Of course, these older programs run in Rosetta, being non-Intel native, and so my MacPro runs them at the same speed as my old G4 dual 800. I'm looking forward to a speed boost when my Xmas upgrade to CS3 is installed.

  • Lightroom 4.2 RC print problems to Canon ipf6300

    I have had repeated problems printing this image:
    It was originally shot on an IQ180 then converted to TIFF before being loaded into Lightroom for further work. It has a lot of delicate blue colours many bordering on cyan. When I print it to the ipf6300 it always comes out with the blues so heavily shifted towards cyan that the prints are unusable. If I send the exact same file from Lightroom to Photoshop, and print it from there, the results are the same as the softproof image on screen, perfect.
    I use Hahnemuhle Fine Art textured paper, with the correct profile and all the other setting are correct, though if I change from 16 bit to 8 bit or vary the quality, the results are the same, as they are if I use Canon's own Fine Art Textured profile.
    I am really quite an experienced printer but this one really has me stumped: it can't be a corrupt profile because it works in Photoshop.
    Any ideas, fixes, ot just similar experiences from others would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    I have the iPF6350, and I am also struggeling a bit, but more with my (of course calibrated) screen not matching the white point of the prints (screen has red tint, compared to the prints).
    Also some photos look just a bit different in PS than in LR, esp. yellow/orange tones. To me it seems like PS is (still) somehow rendering the photos in a slighty different way than LR (not only RAWs, also TIFF are shown different), which could explain why results of prints are different, too.
    If you want to send me a version of this photo I could try if I can reproduce the problem here - but I have only PS5, not PS6 yet... but anyway it would be more interesting to get it correct in LR (too).
    What happens if you make a print to jpg? Are the colors correct then?

  • Lightroom 1.4.1 printing problem -Mac pro OS X 10.5.1 & Epson 3800 printer

    Updated to 1.4.1 from 1.4.
    Printing is back to the ugly magenta - not as bad as with 1.3.1, but printing was perfect with 1.4
    I printed the same file from Lightroom, from Aperture & from Adobe photoshop CS3.
    Printing from Aperture & from Adobe photoshop CS3 are good. Soft-proofing from Aperture is near perfect. With Photoshop CS3 the soft-proofing thru View is good, but the review before printing is totally off, as it has been for eons. Soft-proofing in Lightroom 1.4.1 is equivalent to soft-proofing in Aperture (looks the same on the monitor) - but it doesn't print that way. Prints are way too magenta, as they were with 1.3.1
    Seems like Adobe just can't get it right. Fix one thing only to mess something else up.
    How do I go back to Lightroom 1.4?

    Mary Ann,
    I'm having the same problem. It appears that changing the print option to "let LR manage colors" doesn't save and hence the color shift.

  • Lightroom 4.1 upgrade installation problem

    Hi !
    So, I've downloaded the 4.1 upgrade on the desktop of my Mac.
    This is the : Lightroom_4_LS11_mac_4_1.dmg
    When I double tap on it, a new window opens and says that this file is impossible to open because it is a non-recognizable file.
    Is it something I'm doing?
    Someone could help me with that ?
    Thanks !

    Yeah, I just checked : I have OS X 10.6.8...
    The runniong at 64-bit, I'm not quite sure where to look/change that.... But I am running lithroom 4.0 without any problem (?)

  • IMac Maverick Upgrade - Printer Problems

    I recently upgraded to Maverick and now my HP color laser jet CM 1415fnw does not work.  I first tried calling HP and was on hold with them for a couple of hours and finally gave up.  So I am coming to Apple now to inquire if they know anything about possible printer drivers being developed to support or function in the new Maverick operating system?
    I realize HP is another company, but still would like any information available.
    Regards ......

    Your printer doesn't show up on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669.
    Did you try adding it using the AirPrint driver?

  • Lightroom printing problem

    I am encountering an issue while printing from Lightroom ( I recently upgraded from Lightroom 4 to Lightroom 4.4) to an Epson Stylus Pro 3800. Using Epson 13 x 19 paper, and printing an image that should be 11 x 18, the result is a portion of the image, measuring 10" wide x 6 7/8" high, being printed. I have tried this with several images with the same result although the exact dimensions of the printed result vary. It does appear the resulting image, on horizontal image, is the lower left area of the image. On the vertical attempt, it is the upper left portion of the image. Does anyone have an idea?
    David

    I have been having the same problem with my Epson 3880 with LR 5.3. Some templates seemed to work OK but then inexplicably I'll get only part of the image in portion of the intended printing area. Particularly with larger paper sizes like 17x22", which gets expensive. This happened repeatedly after checking all the dialog boxes and page setup over and over again. When I take the image to PS from LR it will print fine there. But it would be preferable to be able to go to lightroom and use the templates if I could sort it out.
    I'm using Mac 10.9.2.

  • Lightroom 5.44 printing problem

    I am using Lightroom 5.44 on two computers: (1) MacTower with OS X 10.7.5 and a (2) MacBook with OS X 10.7.5. I also use Adobe CS6. (Neither can upgraded to the latest version of Mac OS X). I am printing to an Epson R1800 on a wifi network. After upgrading to Lightroom 5.44 I was able to print two glossy 13x19 images on the Epson R1800 by subsequent efforts to print all hang up at the preparing image for printing stage.  I reinstalled Lightroom 5.44 and the printing problem repsisted. I reinstalled the Epson R1800 printer software/drivers and the proble persists. I am able to print other images from Photoshop CS6 on the MacTower and from Lightroom 5.44 on the MacBook.  Thus the problem appears to be in LIghtroom 5.44 on the MacTower and is not resolve by reinstalling Lightroom.
    I note that the Apple Console log has multiple meesages and reports in reponse to the print job, including the following:
    5/1/14 1:56:35.291 PM Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5: Could not find image named 'LayoutDirection1.png'.
    Is this an Adobe Photshop LIghtroom 5 problem or a Mac OS 10.7.5 problem or both?  How should I proceed?

    I have an SSD drive that has my OS and applications.  I looked in the Macintosh SSD/Users/[my username]/Library/Preferences/ directory and I do not have a com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist file.
    My old Macintosh HD drive has been renamed "Macintosh HD Archive" and I now use it for file archiving.  it has a Marcintosh HD Archive/Users/[my user name]/Library/Preferences/ directory which contains the preference files for my older versions of Lightroom (Lightroom, Lightroom2, and Lightroom3). 
    After I installed the SSD drive and used it as my startup disk I have used Lightroom 4 and Lightroom 5. 
    Lightroom4 and LIghtroom5 have been installed on the SSD drive.  I deleted Lightroom 4 after I installed Lightroom 5. 
    There is no com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist list file on my Macintosh SSD drive or on my MacIntosh HD Archive drive.
    Perhaps the printing problem is due to a failure to create these files with the installation of Lightroom 5.44 on the SSD drive.
    I do not recgnize the name "LayoutDirection1.png" as significant any of my images, but its occurence in the console log in association with Lightroom5 at the times print attempt failed suggested that the hangup was due to a missing file.

  • Printing problem with Lightroom 5

    Lightroom 5 CC is printing a 1/2 inch discolored bar vertically down the right side of my photos regardless of size (ie 4x6, 8x10). It only happens if I print one photo on photo paper the same size as the print.  For example, if I print 2, 4x6 photos on a 8 1/2 x 11 photo paper, they print fine.  I've also printed from Picasa without any problem.  I'm using a Canon Pixma ip6000D.  I've updated drivers and cleaned the print heads.  Problem appears to be only in Lightroom 5.  I tried several of the Canon ip6000d profiles and they all have the same problem.
    Also tried printing from Photoshop CC and Photoshop Elements 12.  Vertical bar prints using either app.

    In the Toolbar at the bottom of the work area *(Press T if you can't see it) there is a pulldown that allows you to choose between:
    All Filmstrip
    Selected
    Flagged
    Set it to Selected.

  • Print problem in epiphany after upgrade

    I am having printing problems in epiphany after I did my upgrade.  It says epiphany book marks crashed, and it is collecting information to report the bug.  But then it closes everything.  Some pages work fine, but others do not.  Also, I can't choose to print a selection any more.
    is there any way to go back to the old epiphany, or get this one working right?
    Thanks

    HI,
    While in an Upgrade version the drawback of BDC is the screen names,
    number and sequence may change in the upgraded version as compared
    to the previous version.
    In ECC6.0 you again have to do the recording for the required transaction
    from T Code SHDB and then upload the data.
    Hope it helps,
    Regards

  • Lightroom printing problem Epson R1800, XP SP2, colors dark

    I'm having no success with printing from Lightroom 1.3.1, with a quite new Epson R1800, on an IBM R51 with Windows XP SP2.
    Printing is fine, using Epson's Easy Photo Print, and PhotoShop Elements 2.0. In fact, the results with Epson's Easy Photo Print and Elements 2.0 are almost identical.
    I played with ICM on, off, downloaded new Epson icc profiles for glossy paper, loaded new cartridges, cleaned nozzles, etc.
    And I searched this users forum and the general web. Sounds like printing problems with Lightroom is pretty normal.
    Any other clues or hints to solve the problem? Seems pretty stupid that Lightroom can't be used to print.
    ...Vick

    Vick,
    I'm new to printing on my Epson 1800 and am sure others know more than I do, but this might be a start since I had the same problem printing from Photoshop CS3 on a R1800 and R200. I think the problem is in the printer properties/printer dialog setup and since the problem is the same maybe the solution is also the same.
    In Lightroom click File - Print Settings or, to get to the same place, click File - Print and click the Page Setup or Print Settings or Print button. Whichever, it takes you to the print setup for the 1800. Click Properties which takes you to the Epson Stylus Photo 1800 Properties window. In the bottom right, click Advanced button. A "note" warning about making changes pops up. Click continue. Under the Main tab, color management make sure ICM is NOT selected. I have "Color Controls" selected. Click OK (twice I think) to get back to the Lightroom print window. This corrected the dark colors problem I was having. When printing in PS3 it asks, "Did you enable color management in the printer dialog?" Somewhere else I found the suggestion to disable ICM color management when printing from PS3. So much to know!! Hope this helps.

  • Printing Problems with Lightroom!!

    I am completely new to Lightroom and was hoping that someone could help with my printing problem. I have been taking all my photo's in both JPEG and RAW versions for flexibility and I have not carried out any development to any of the photo's yet. I have tried going straight to the print module and tried print a basic copies, however the pictures print in very dark tones like the picture was taken in very bad light and there are some blue vertical lines appearing on each copy. Please note that this happens with both the JPEG and RAW pictures. I have ruled out the printer as a problem because I can print out the same photo via the software that came with my printer and they look great, just as they appear on the screen. Is there something that I am doing wrong? Hopefully there is a quick answer!!
    Many Thanks,
    Gareth.

    Sorry for the delay, I seem to be experiencing delays with this website.
    OK here goes:
    Under the Color Mangement Banner on Lightroom it has profile with managed by the printer next to it. Underneath that is Rendering Intent with perceptual by it, but these are blacked out.
    I looked in the Printer Properties on my PC and under the color management tab it has set to Automatic (I hope this is what you asked for)
    The Printer is an Epson stylus PHOTO RX560
    My Operating system is Windows XP, Media Centre Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 2.
    Hope this helps.

  • 10.9.4 upgrade created a printer problem

    I upgraded to 10.9.4 on Wednesday and now I can no longer print to my Canon MF5950dw printer. My Mac mini is connected to the printer by an ethernet cable through a router. It printed just fine before the upgrade. After the upgrade I repeatedly received the message that my mac could not connect to the printer. So I went into system preferences and opened the printers dialog and deleted the printer thinking I would add it back in again. Well, now nothing appears in the add printer window -- its totally blank. My mac won't detect the printer. I tried installing the combo upgrade but the problem remains. Any insight provided for resolving this printer problem would be much appreciated.

    No result after applying the Reset the printing system.
    No printer is visible in the "add printer screen".
    The printer is a  Canon MP 510.
    The printer is directly connected via USB to on elf the USB ports of my iMac.
    The printer in switch on.
    Restarting the system does not solve the problem either.
    Before 10.9.4 upgrade all printer drivers were up to date and the printer was working fine.
    Any other idea of solving this problem?

  • Epson Leopard Lightroom 1.3 - UK Europe Drives Print Problems

    From reading these forums the print problems (poor color when using profiles) that everyone is having with Leopard, Epson Printers and Lightroom 1.3 is related to print driver issues. While there have been no updates on the Epson US site there have been driver updates on the UK/Europe Epson site.
    Has anyone tested these updated drives referenced as version 6.12 and do they resolve the issues. In particular I am interested in the R1800 drivers.

    Ivan J:
    I downloaded the 6.12 driver for the Epson R1800 from the Epson UK site. From my testing so far, I see essentially the same color prints from the driver itself or from using the Epson-supplied icc profile. All with Intel Mac on OS 10.5.1 and LR 1.3.1. So far so good. Still no sign of the new driver on Epson America. Hope this helps.

  • Upgrade from Elements 7 to Elements 11 poses printing problems

    I upgraded from Elements 7 to Elements 11 and now when I print a photo using Elements 11 it is extremely dark (almost black).  I am using an Epson R1900 Photo printer and the same settings for printing in both Elements 7 and 11 and can't figure out why the pictures are too dark in Elements 11.  Can anyone help with this?

    Thanks for the ideas:
    Yes, printing in the OS Print program (Windows 8) does produce better 
    photos than directly through Elements 11.  Also, printing from the Elements 
    Organizer produces the better photos I am looking for and can obtain from the 
    Editor in Elements 7.  I still wonder why the Elements 11 Editor produces 
    almost black pictures?  But at least I have some alternatives for printing 
    better photos after I have used the Editor and saved the corrected photo.
    Corvettelarry.
