16-bit Printing on Windows

Hello,
there is no 16-bit printing in LR4 for Windows. Many Canon printers have the 16-bit drivers, and they are very good. Say the Canon Pixma Pro-1.There is no problem to print in 16-bit on Windows any more. Windows doesn't mean XP and you don't use .Net to print in 16-bit. More than 50% Windows computers use Windows 7 or Windows Vista.
Why sltill there is no 16-bit print worklfow for Windows in LR4?

Hi Danny,
Thanks For Reply,
I am using following
Hyper-visor: windows 2012 datacenter hyper-v
VM01: windows 2008 32 bit (SP 2) Terminal Server Connection Broker
VM02: windows 2008 32 bit (SP 2) Terminal Server Session Host
VM03: windows 2008 32 bit (SP 2) Terminal Server Remote App Web
My application is installed on Session Host Server. If I install the printer on Session Host Server I can take print from Remote App or Full Desktop
Now when my remote users access the server (which is accessed thru VPN with all ports open) and want to print from their local USB or Network printers (drivers are installed on Session Host Server) it gives error "The PRN Device not recognizable"
If I publish Wordpad then it allows me to print.
I have Changed GPO "Computer
Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Terminal Server\Device and Resource Redirection" to enable redirection.
Still
not working.
Let
me know If I am missing something

Trouble installing shared printer on windows 7 64 bit

hey guys
i recently got a IBM thinkpad with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
we have a HP Laserjet 3015 thats shared on windows xp profesional computer. i am having trouble installing it on my comuter. if i connect the printer to my computer via USB, windows finds the drivers and it works.
The problem is when ever i try and insatll it over the network it does not work. i can search and find which computer it is attached to and see it in the shared printer list, but when i ever i try to connect to it says connecting>>searching windows update>>cant find drivers. it gives me the option of searching for the drivers to install. i have downloaded the drivers thats on the HP site but they dont help. when ever i select them in the manual it comes with an error saying driver not found then gives u the option of installing it your self. when u select the driver it says windows can not locate a suitable driver.
how can i get around this ??

Try the following: On the Windows 7 computer go to the Devices and Printers folder, Add a Printer, Local Printer, Create a new port, Local port, Next, \\xpcomputername\lj3015 (where you put in the actual share name of the computer and printer), OK, Windows Update (and wait for the list to repopulate), HP Laserjet 3015 PCL5, Next, Next.

HP Laserjet p2015d auto duplex printing with Windows 7 64 bit operating system

I have used the HP Laserjet p2015d with Windows 7 32 bit operating system and have been able to use the AUTOMATIC DUPLEX feature of the printer without problems.
Now, however, I have installed the 64 bit version of Windows 7 operating system and the AUTO DUPLEX does not work and is not shown as being available on the PROPERTIES menu of the printer.
Is it possible to use the AUTO DUPLEX feature of the printer with Windows 7 64 bit operating system.
All replies welcomed! Aaron in Calif.

Hi Aaron,
Make sure the Automatic Duplexing option is enabled:
Enter Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
Right click the printer icon, then click Printer Properties.
Click the Device Settings tab.
Set the Automatic Two-Sided Duplex Accessory as installed and click OK to save the change.
Now Automatic Duplexing should become available.

16-bit printing Windows HD Photo Plug-in for Adobe

I use Photoshop CS4 and am thinking of getting the Epson 3880 printer, which has 16-bit printing capabilities. Unfortunately, at present Epson natively only makes 16-bit printing available for Mac systems. However, Windows came out with a plug-in for Windows XP and Vista systems. That was before Windows 7 was released. It was also before CS4 was released. The Windows site says the plug-in was designed for CS2 and CS3 and works through installing an XPS Print Path.
Will the plug-in work with CS4? Will it only allow me to print images saved in a Windows "HD" format, or will I be free to use standard formats that can be saved in 16-bit?
Tony

Thanks for your reply John, I've been off-line for a few days, so haven't had a chance to respond.
The originator of the plug-in is Microsoft. The title of Microsoft's article about the plug-in is HD Photo Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® Software at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b157ca0f-083f-4957-9aa3-4da1de3dc 20b&DisplayLang=en
The function of printing with 16-bit as opposed to the standard 8-bit is a much larger bit depth which should yield a richer dynamic range and an expanded range of colors to print with. It seems to me that, if the printer is capable of printing in 16-bit and Photoshop is capable of working with and formating for printing in 16-bit, it would make sense to take advantage of the enhanced capability. Windows by default does not print in 16-bit, but it is capable of doing so (in XP, Vista, and 7). Microsoft developed this plug-in for CS3 for Vista and XP. As I currently am using XP, the plug-in will work with my OS. My question is will it work with CS4? I have other ancient plug-ins that load and work normally in CS4. I've installed the KPT Filter Collection, which goes back generations before CS1. But it's just filters. I would thinik a print plug-in would be more involved, hence my question.

Installing a windows 7 (64 bit) printer driver to existing windows xp network

Dear-Users......... i have connected 5 computers through a switch and ( hp laserjet 2014) printer is directly connected to one of them and shared on the network. 3 computers running on windows xp and one i added last time it was windows 7 (32 bit)
it is working good as well. the problem now i am facing is this today i tried to add one more windows 7 (64 bit) pc to this network. now this computer can't access the printer. i have installed the printer driver on the pc but its not finding he printer
on network ......my pc is sharing other network resources the problem is not of connection its connected to the network just printer driver is making problem for me.........any suggestion....i tried to install this 64 bit printer diriver on the printer server
computer as additional driver .....but it does not worksssss.......what should i do.......thxxxxx

So this issue is that your newly Windows 7 doesn't detect the shared printer, are you able to add this printer manually? Type "Add a printer" in start button\search box, then in the Add printer Wizard, select
Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer, Choose a network printer...
And make sure the network is working correctly and the computer where the printer is plugged in is turned on.

WPS54GU2 printing to parallel printer with Windows 7 64-bit-cannot get it to work for the life of me

Hello,
I am having the worst difficulties getting the WPS54GU2 to print to a HP Laserjet 4L printer. I know that the general communication is working as I am able to print a test page from the
I have the IP address correct for the print server (in my case it is 192.168.1.103) and is set statically in the print server setup.
I have it working fine on an XP box The port name configured on the XP machine is LK89A0B5_P1.
The software that comes with the WPS print server will not install on Windows 7 so the address/port/queue must
be set up manually.
I have tried the link from Cisco's KB that shows how to configure the print sever:
http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=69efd80e2ea44d948fea2365d3e0c9eb_Configuring_TCP_I...
however this does not work and the print job either gets stuck in the print queue, or it shows busy/error in the print queue.
I have also tried suggestions on this forum that say not to create a TCP/IP port but instead use LPR port.
Can someone please give me the solution that will work. I have heard people say to use L1 for the queue name, or P1, or LP1
or lp1. I cannot spend much more time on this before I give up and look for a different print server that will work with both parallel and USB printers.
Thanks for help/suggestions on this.
Mike

sometimes it needs the device- specific drivers to get it to work; especially that you have a 64- bit OS.
the print server is already connected to the network, right? what is its IP address? check if the computer can ping that IP by going to start> search> cmd> ping 192.168.1.78 (change this to the correct IP address). if your computer can ping the print server then you can setup LPR printing to get your printing jobs done. click on the link below for more info.

16 bit printing in Lightroom for Windows

According to a Lightroom 2 video from NAPP about printing, Scott Kelby states that 16 bit output is only available if you have OSX Leopard because it is an operating system specific feature, and Windows does not support 16 bit printing. However, Canon supplies a Photoshop plugin with the iPF5100 printer that supports 16 bit output regardless of the operating system in use. So I'm just curious why Lightroom doesn't support 16 bit output for Windows, but Photoshop does? Or am I missing something?
I've also asked the question at answers.microsoft.com if Windows 7 is going to support 16 bit printing, and a Microsoft MVP said "If a 16-bit print driver is created for the printer, 7 will not stop it from doing that. How an image is converted to print is not an OS limitation. The print driver does that." So who am I to believe? I would imagine that if Windows was capable of 16 bit print output then Adobe would support it on the Windows platform right? So if anyone from Adobe can answer this question, I would greatly appreciate it.
Regards,
Dean

When it comes to printing, LR talks to the OS, and the OS talks to the printer driver. Therefore, if LR supports 16-bit printing, the driver supports 16-bit printing, but the OS only supports 8-bit printing, then there's no benefit. The Canon PS plug-in is different because the OS is not involved; the plug-in is effectively talking directly to the printer driver.
That said, I do not know for certain which versions of Windows support 16-bit print paths, not having investigated the matter myself.
(I also humbly suggest that it's not as big of a deal as you might think. One the list of technical matters that factor into print quality, I'd have to rank 8-bit vs 16-bit printing as being pretty far towards the bottom.)

Bulk Printing on Windows 7 64 bit

Hi
My Name is Terrick and i am a computer Operator for the cold chain.
We recently gave new Windows 7 64 bit machines to our user's, and since the new machines have been installed our user's cannot do bulk printing.
They are Bulk printing TIFF format files.
They can print a maximum of 30 jobs, and cant go further than 40.
I increased the Virtual memory so that the machine can locate more memory to the printing client but that failed.
Installed 64 bit printer drivers which are compatible for the systems but that also is not coming right.
My last option was to get software that could convert the TIFF Files to PDF, and with that all seems fine.
So the issue is basically printing this format of images.
Can someone advise please.

Please try the following link for a solution and let me know if it works.

HP2600n suddenly stopped printing in Windows 7 system 64-bit--why? No error mes, no system changes

After two months, HP2600n suddenly stopped printing in Windows 7 system 64-bit--why? No error mes, no system changes.
I tried reinstalling the drivers, changing USB ports and cables, printing from Notepad, and disconnecting the printer.
My computer will not let me uninstall the driver software, and I tried downloading the software upgrade to do that.
Printer works with computer running XP.
I am guessing that I need a driver upgrade.
Which one?
Thanks, whoever!

Printing from Windows 8 to a shared printer on a Windows 7 machine

WE have a a user that has a laser printer on A windows 7 machine that others in the office can access EXCEPT the one person on a Windows 8 machine. We have tried everything, but cannot get her to print to this printer. Says it cannot be found. What does
Windows 8 need to see a printer on a Win 7 workstation. She does have access to network printers and her own.
Thanks.

We have the same kind of problem but a bit different.
Dell Printer (used for years shared on a network) was moved to our Windows 7 machine plugged in via USB. We only use a plain workgroup with no Domain as we also have Macs on the network.
I have Macs using shared printer, a Windows XP using the shared printer, and even Windows 7 under Parallels on the Macs using the shared printer no problem.
I had the lone Windows 8 laptop using the shared printer but then it just stopped working. So I deleted it and now when I try to add it is want credentials and none work. It will not connect to the shared printer on the Windows 7 machine.
I have Windows 7 (which also has a couple shared drives that do work) set for No Homegroup and No Password for sharing - pretty much open as we are behind a Cisco Firewall to the outside. No firewalls on the pcs.
Not sure where to go from here...

Can't share local printer in Windows 7 Pro-error 0x000006d9

Hello,
I recently purchased a laptop and wanted to share my local printer, attached via USB to my desktop (tower) in my home. My desktop runs Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. My laptop runs Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
When I try to share my printer, accept the default printer name (or modify it), from the sharing tab of printer properties, I get an error: "printer settings could not be saved. Operation could not be completed (error 0x000006d9)".
I did some searching in this forum and via google but this error code does not appear for this type of issue (i.e. printer sharing). Does anyone have any suggestions?
I also verified my Event Viewer and see no errors whatsoever related to printer or network settings or file and printer sharing. I CAN share my files on THIS desktop with the laptop and have already transferred files from the desktop to the laptop successfully. But printer sharing is giving the above error.
** Also, I MAY have a related problem but I am unsure about this, so I wanted to mention this in this same thread in case they are related: I cannot start the homegroup listener service from services on the desktop (win 7 pro) - get error code 2147023143. Homegroups are NOT setup (not created) on neither the laptop nor the desktop. Again, I tried to search for this error code but the results are inconclusive.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Its now been THREE YEARS since this "bug" has been discovered and resolved by a user, and there is not one word about it in MS's online help. Today I had this exact issue of not being able to share a printer on Windows 7 with other computers on my
my local network. And this is the same printer I've been sharing with the same network for nearly FIVE YEARS!! I have always used 3rd party virus/firewall software, but I don't disable the windows firewall. Rather I just set it to "Manual"
because some network software seems to need it occassionally. The result is the same however, as is the solution. I had updated and reinstalled my printer software, and apparantly sharing is disabled by default. After stumbling upon this
thread, after several hours wasted searching Windows Help and Microsoft "NON"-Support websites and KB's, I simply ran the firewall just long enough to enable sharing, and instantly the backlog of spoolled print jobs began printing.
Thank you. You would think MS would have at least written this solution into their help files by now ... but than again, they are probably making money with their "paid" support option from all the desperate people who suddenly can't use there printers.
Probably charging $50 just to tell people to turn the firewall on for a few seconds. I can't think of another reason to conveniently omit this simple solution from the "free" support.

Laserjet P1006 does not print in windows 7 x64 even though the status of the printer is "printing"

HP LaserJet P1006
Windows 7 64-bit
No error message
No changes made to system, it never worked after installing Windows 7 64-bit
- printer properly installed and recognized as ready when plugged in
- when trying to print everything goes normal: document added in printer queue > printer status changes to printing
- but it just stays in "printing" for a few minutes and then it acts like it successfuly printed the document, showing to error, clearing the queue and going back to ready status
- and no page is being printed
- the printer harware works, because on other operating systems is has no problems (tested on two other computers): with other OS it works but with windows 7 x64 it doesn't work on another computer either
Can anyone help me with this?

Can't print from Windows Explorer

After installing the "HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911a", on a Windows 7 64-bit PC, that is Ethernet connected, I get the following error message:
Script Error
An error has occurred in the script on this page.
Line: 2061
Char: 1
Error: Invalid procedure call or argument
Code: 0
URL: res://ieframe.dll/preview.js
When I try to print from Windows Explorer; however, I can print from other applications such as Word and Quicken OK, and I can print from Explorer OK from a Windows XP PC. Anyone have any suggestions?

The issue is caused when Windows creates the printer profile in the control panel that it doesn't correctly create it with the drivers.
We're not going to completely uninstall all the HP software, instead we're going to remove the corrupt Windows printer profile and reinstall it. Total time for this on an average computer is about 5-10 minutes to completely repair (including reboot).
1) Navigate to Start Menu > Devices and Printers or Start Menu > Control Panel > Printers
2) Select each printer profile for the printer with an issue, then select remove device/printer.
3) Reboot
4) Navigate to Start Menu > All Programs > HP > insert model # here > Add Printer (or Setup Wizard)
5) Follow the setup prompts to reinstall the printer profile and it recreates the Windows printer.
6) Test by printing google.com (uses very little ink when the test page comes out).
Let me know if you have any questions or issues.
Thanks,
Dan

Can't print from Windows to Mac

I've always had trouble printing to a printer attached to my Mac from Windows. Bonjour used to see the printer, but I could only occasionally actually print. For a while everything but PDFs worked, then even text stopped. As a last resort I tried the "reset printing system" option in System Preferences and then re-added the printer, but now Bonjour doesn't see it at all. I can browse to it via SMB at \\macname\printername, but all I can do is print a test page as Administrator. Regular print jobs and non-admin test pages just disappear - not in the queue on either client or server. Setting it up as an IPP printer instead didn't help.
I'm at the end of my rope here, and any troubleshooting tips are welcome. I'm an IT guy, so technical details are very welcome: TCP ports to check for listeners on, services to look for, registry settings on the Windows end, anything.
Details:
Server:
Mac OS X 10.6.2
HP Photosmart D7560 printer connected via USB using HP Photosmart driver
Clients:
Windows XP, Windows Vista (32-bit), Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit)
All on the same LAN (wireless), no trouble with TCP/IP connectivity (can ssh into the Mac from the Windows boxes, etc). Both Windows Firewall and UAC are turned off on the Vista/7 boxes, guest access is enabled on the Mac in Sharing preferences...
Any help welcome.
Thanks!

I followed the instructions at http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3012.html and am having the same issue. Whether setting up manually or using Bonjour, it seems that you have to select an Apple Driver. The problem is that the Windows 7 does not provide Apple drivers. Luckily, I have an old XP installation CD so I can access the printer drivers I need, but because I already installed the printer drivers from my printers CD Windows will automatically install with that driver, not giving me the "have disk" option.
So I tried to install with Bonjour again, which allowed me to pull up the drivers from teh XP installation disk, but then gave me an error that I didn't have permissions to install the selected printer.
So I deleted the Canon driver for my printer from Windows 7 and went through the process described at http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3012.html again. This time I was able to select the Apple Color Laserwriter printer from the XP installation CD, but I got an error message saying that Windows was unable to find an appropriate driver.
At this point, after a couple hours trying to do a simple file share, which should only take 30 seconds, I'm giving up being able to print to a printer connected to a mac from my Windows 7 laptop. Now I have to open files on the mac from the network file share to print.
Mixed having both Macs and Windows machines on the same network is a recipe for a headache.
