Print and Softproof colors are bad for "Application managed color"

Hello... Not sure if my problem is a Mac OS X issue, or a Lightroom issue. Either way I hope it is just user error.
While printing, my prints look good using "printer managed color", both preview and printed output look good. I am used to using "application managed color" and am getting very poor colors, in both the preview and the printed output.
I am somewhat familiar with color management, and understand the basic concepts of profiles.
I have a new iMac 20" display, that is calibrated. I am printing on a HP 8450. It appears that both the printer and LR are trying to manage my color when I am trying to do a "application managed color" print. Not being familiar with OS X, I have not been able to determine how to disable the color management of my printer driver.
If anyone has any suggestions, please help... I have been fighting this off and on all day...
One other thing... off topic, but if anyone knows how to adjust a 20" iMac 20 RGB values, please let me know. I can't see how to manually adjust the individual channels.
Thanks, Mike

Well, it sounds like you are not getting all your ducks in a row on setting up LR for "application managed color". There aresome excellent step by steps in one or two other threads. A key point is using the individual icc profile for the specific paper not the generic.
To properly calibrate you Monitor you should use a Calibration device, like a Spyder not tweek the numbers by hand/eye.
It is just user error.

  • HP D5460 printer. Colors are bad on photo paper.

    HP D5460 printer.  Colors are bad on photo paper,, OK on plain paper.  New genuine HP cartridges.  It used to work fine. Have tried aligning print head.  Have tried "automatic" and "best" for print quality.  Doesn't  matter.
    Vista 64 bit OS

    Besides using genuine HP ink cartridges, check this document:

  • My back button, print, and address bar are missing how do I get them back?

    ''duplicate - locking - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/865223''
    tool bar went missing for unknown reason, no back button, no print button no address bar or bookmarks.

    ''My back button, print, and address bar are missing''
    Use "Alt" to make sure the menu bar is visible, then View > Toolbars > ... -- make sure that the Navigation bar is checkmarked, if tabs on top is confusing uncheck that, if you want to see menus and title bar make sure menu bar is check-marked.
    If things don't stay put on the toolbars then

    You can make '''Firefox 6.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 6.0, look like 3.6)].

  • How to find how many cursors are opend for application user

    Hi all,
    how to find out how many cursors are opend for application user and how many are opend for database user
    Regards,
    RM

    Oracle does not know the difference between an "application user" and a "database user".
    Oracle deals with a session. This session services a client. The client can be a J2EE application. It can be a Delphi client. It can be a SQL*Plus command line tool. It can be TOAD. Etc.
    Oracle does not care who/what/where the client is when dealing with cursors and SQL. It deals with the session that services that client.
    How many cursors does a session have opened?
    Refer to V$OPEN_CUSOR in [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/dynviews_2008.htm#sthref3807]Oracle® Database Reference.
    A select count on V$OPEN_CURSOR for a specific SID (Session ID) will return the number of open cursor handles in that session.

  • I am using OS X and am trying to set up a HP ENVY 5660 e printer and the drivers are not listed.  I read somewhere not to use the install disk.  What do I do?

    I am using OS X and am trying to set up a HP ENVY 5660 e printer and the drivers are not listed.  I read somewhere not to use the install disk.  What do I do?

    Your suggestion was a good one and what I found was that to use this and any other printer I looked at is that I need to update the operating system to a later version.  I have been reluctant in the past to do this after reading update horror stories and since this computer does what I need and very well.  Was glad I moved over from windows and this is the first problem I have had.  Thanks for your help and any other suggestions you may have.

  • Just got a new router yesterday and my husband's iphone and my ipad are asking for a guest password.  Don't understand.

    Just purchased a new router yesterday since ours got struck by lightning.  Now my husband's iphone and my ipad are asking for guest wifi passwords.  Don't understand. 

    Some new routers come with the standard connection as well as a guest account. The guest account can be used for when friends come over and want to use your Wi-Fi connection. You can give them the guest account password and still keep the main account password private. Make sure you are logging on to the main connection and not the guest account.

  • Photoshop and Illustrator updates fail using Adobe Application Manager, why and what can I do?

    In the Adobe Application Manager, it says there are updates for both Photoshop and Illustrator. When I click to update, they both downloaded and attempted to install and in the middle of this process, Application Manager shows that the updates fail. After this, upon restart of my Mac–running Lion–Illustrator shows that it's up to date in the Application Manager and Photoshop shows an update is available. Upon trying to re-update Photoshop again, the update fails again and again.
    I have updated before a few days ago with no problem, so I don't understand why the updates are failing and why after doing so, now Illustrator shows that it is up to date and Photoshop does not.
    Has anyone else had this problem and if so, does anyone know why and what I can do about it?
    Thank you.

    Hi Richei Creative,
    These would be my suggestions:
    Create a new user account with administrative rights, log out of your current account and into that one, launch Adobe Application Manager and attempt the Photoshop update again.
    Instructions if you need them  - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11468
    If this fails, uninstall Photoshop (Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers) and reinstall Photoshop then from Adobe Application Manager the attempt the Photoshop update again, also from the newly created user account.
    Hope these help,
    -Dave

  • PSE 11 - MacOX 10.7.5  -MORE-Printer and Profiles Not Working Correctly for first print

    As suggested by adobe support contacted Epson.   What I expected no help.  Since it works ok with PSE10, PSE 9, CS5 it could not be their problem. 
    However PSE 11 have changed something in the sequence of events.
    I then downloaded a trial version of Lightroom 4.   no problem everything works.
    I have been offered a refund for PSE11.     That is not encourageing.  Does that mean wait for PSE12?????
    I developed a bypass - every time I start up PSE11  I just print a dummy image thumb nail size.   then go on to regular printing and all works.
    original discussion
    Macosx 10.7.5
    When I start up PSE11  and go to print I set up the paper size then select a Printer Profile.  When print the image it is a mess and seem to be black and white it is as if I printed on the wrong side of the paper.
    I then go and try to print it again.   Now it all works as it should beutiful colours and spot on.  all other print following this works.
    Then I shut down PSE11.   Start it up again.  Guess what  first print is a mess again.   all others after are fine.
    I uninstalled PSE11, deleted prefs.  and reinstalled PSE11.    Same thing..   first print a mess all others ok.
    the issue can be replicated consistantly......
    no problems with PSE10 or PSE9
    any suggestions?????
    cheers elo

      It does seem like strange behavior but thanks for sharing the work around.

  • App switcher and dock not switching spaces for application

    The app switcher occassionally stops switching spaces to bring up the application. When this happens clicking on the dock icon doesn't work to switch spaces either. A logout and log back in are needed for the functionality to return.

    Because my dock's already too full with apps that are even more frequently used. Using the app switcher became part of my workflow long ago, and I'm sorry to lose it.
