Appleworks 6.2.4 Printing Resolution & Colors

The Appleworks 6.2.4 program that I installed on my MacBook from an old eMac apps disk no longer allows me to choose the printing resolution or color vs. B&W as it for the first few months of use on the MacBook. It has never allowed me to choose color intensity and related functions as it did on the eMac. The menu from which I could once choose the printing resolution has changed to read: Layout, Paper Handling, Cover Page, Scheduler, Supply Levels, and Summary. None of those allows a resolution change option. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, but even that did not refresh those functions. How can I restore them for use with my MacBook? Also, should I upgrade to version 6.2.9, and if so, how do I do it?

Have you changed printers recently, or installed/updated your printer drivers?
These menu items are in the menu in the Print Dialogue, and depend on the options offered by the printer and its driver, not on AppleWorks.
Mine, when printing from AppleWorks 6.2.9 to a Canon Pixma series ink jet under OS X v10.4.9, shows:
Copies & Pages
Layout
Scheduler
Paper Handling
ColorSync
Cover Page
Quality & Media
Color Options
Special Effects
Borderless Printing
Margin
AppleWorks
Summary
For a Paint or Drawing document, the AppleWorks item (which shows printing options specific to the application) offers All/Left/Right pages as its only option.
The only resolution change option available within AppleWorks, to my knowledge is Resolution & Depth... in the Format menu. That menu item is available only in a Paint docment or in a Paint frame within other types of document.
Reinstalling your printer drivers may help.
Regarding updating to AW 6.2.9: The update adds scroll wheel compatibility and fixes some bugs. The only downside I'm aware of is the loss of ability to open some AppleWorks/ClarisWorks files created using earlier versions of the application (eg. ClarisWorks 4). Before updating, you might want to save a copy of your current AppleWorks 6 folder to an external drive to keep for opening those earlier files affected by this problem.
You'll find the AppleWorks 6.2.9 updates on this page. Note that there are two English Language versions. The US/North American English updater is the one in the box at the top right, identified only by its file size (15.8 MB). The International English version is at the top of the main list on the left.

? about image resolution/color correction when apple prints photo book

My first time making a photo book. I color correct and sharpen all of my images in Adobe Lightroom 2 first. Then I save the jpegs and import into iPhoto to make a book. Is there an option for turning off auto color correction when the file is uploaded to apple for printing? Is there an accurate way to tell how the photos will print on the specific paper they use? Also, what print resolution should the photos be set to? Is 180 dpi enough? Thanks in advance.

first read the Apple pages - http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/preparation_tips/ - and all of its links
Second - I suspect you will be disappointed. Based on reports on these forums almost everyone who uses iPhoto exclusively to preprocess photos is extremely happy with the results. very often people you over process their photos using a third party program (including Lightroom, Photoshop, etc) are unhappy because the printing process is optimized for point and shoot cameras and iPhoto processing - it is NOT a professional desktop book process
There are no options re color correction - it is built in again aimed at sRGB, point and shoot cameras and iPhoto processing
Plus there have been reported incompatibilities between iPhoto and Lightroom
The print resolution is what it is - if it will be less than 180 dpi you will get a waarning - it can be greater
The papers they print on are specified here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3412

HP OfficeJet 6310 All-In-One printer won't print in color with new cartridge

HP OfficeJet 6310 All-In-One printer on a iMAC OSX version 10.9.5 system
Hello,
As I don't print in color much but had need to I discovered my printer not printing in color. I trouble shooted and even replaced with an new HP95 new from Office Depot ( I never buy refilled). The printer still won't print color but it advances the paper as if it was printing - just no ink on paper. I have cleaned thoroughly the ink jet heads, cartridge area, and run all the alignment and printer utilities. The test page print does not show color either. I have no error messages. Don't know what else to do.
thanks
DH

Hi there @dhengr!
Thanks for contacting the HP Forums!
I can see your having a print quality issue with your HP OfficeJet 6310. I should be able to provide documentation that will help locate a resolution. You mentioned you have already tried another HP95 tri-color cartridge with no resolution. I also noticed you said that the quality report from the printer also has no color ink.
If a stand alone test report is performed from the front of the printer such a printhead cleaning or print quality report and there is no color on the page then you are likely looking at a hardware issue within the printer. I have provided a document regarding Missing, Faded, or Dull Colors on the HP Officejet 6310 All-in-One Printer. If you follow the document from start to finish and still have the same issue then I would recommend contacting our HP tech support via phone. They deal with hardware warranty and replacement options.

Document Options: Make sure that Print in Grayscale is set to Off, unless you are printing in Grayscale intentionally.
Resolution: This list allows you to see the resolution specifications for the possible print quality selections. For example, Max DPI mode is 1200x1200 dpi. To change the resolution, you must click the Paper/Quality tab, and then select the paper type and print quality from the Media drop-down menu.
Click OK, and then click OK again to apply the settings.
Click OK from the Print dialog box to start the print job.
If these steps resolved the issue, you do not need to continue troubleshooting.
If the issue persists, continue to the next solution.
Solution five: Check estimated ink levels and replace low or empty cartridges
NOTE:Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When an indicator shows low-ink levels, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable.
Click the Windows icon (), click All Programs, click HP, click the folder for your HP printer, and then click the icon for your HP printer (). The printer software opens.
NOTE:You can also open the HP printer software from your computer desktop. Double-click the icon for your HP printer ().
Click the Estimated Ink Levels icon. The HP Toolbox opens.
Click the Estimated Ink Levels tab. The Estimated Ink Levels window opens.
Figure : The Estimated Ink Levels window
If the ink level graphic shows low or empty cartridges, and the quality of your printouts is unsatisfactory, replace the cartridges now.Click here to go to instructions in this document for installing a replacement cartridge.
If the ink level graphic shows full cartridges, you do not need to replace the cartridges yet. Continue to the next solution.
Solution six: Print and evaluate a test page and troubleshoot defects
Follow these steps to print, and then evaluate a test page.
Step one: Print a test page
Make sure there is plain white, letter-size paper loaded in the input tray.
Click the Windows icon (), click All Programs, click HP, click the folder for your HP printer, and then click the icon for your HP printer (). The printer software opens.
NOTE:You can also open the HP printer software from your computer desktop: double-click the icon for your HP printer ().
In the printer software, click Print.
Click Maintain Your Printer (). The HP Toolbox opens.
Click the Device Reports tab.
Click the Print Diagnostic Information icon. The test page prints.
Figure : Example of test page
Step two: Determine which cartridges printed which areas of the test page
Different cartridges print different areas of the test page. Use the following guidelines to determine which cartridge printed which areas.
The black cartridge prints the black areas of the page, such as the black bars and black text.
The color cartridge prints the color areas of the page, such as the cyan (blue), magenta, and yellow color bars.
Figure : Which cartridge prints which areas
Printed with the tri-color cartridge
Printed with the black cartridge
Make a note of which cartridge printed which areas of the test page, and then continue to the next step to check the report for defects.
Step three: Check the test page for defects
In general, if the printer and its cartridges are working correctly, all the color bars should be present, unstreaked, and uniform in color. The black text on the page should not show ink streaks.
Use the following table for examples of defects that can exist on the test page. The following examples are not inclusive, but tend to represent the most common issues.
Examples of defects on the test page
Defect
Example
Description or cause
Broken lines in grid patterns
Problem with the ink nozzles
Faded or nonuniform colors in the color blocks
Depleted cartridges, or ink mixing together
Track marks or ink smears in the text
Fibers or other debris on one or both of the cartridges
The color blocks are streaked or lined
The cartridge might be running out of ink or the nozzles might be clogged
One or more of the colored blocks is missing entirely
All colors printed - no missing colors
Yellow missing - the color cartridge is not printing correctly
The cartridge is out of one color of ink or the ink nozzles might be clogged.
If you see one or more defects on the print quality diagnostic report, continue to the next steps.
If there are no defects on the print quality diagnostic report, it indicates that the print mechanism and ink supplies work correctly. Therefore, you do not need to continue the troubleshooting steps in the remainder of this document. However, if printouts are still unsatisfactory, try the following general procedures to improve print quality:
Make sure that the image you are printing has sufficient resolution. Enlarged images might appear fuzzy or blurry.
If the issue is confined to a band near the edge of a printout, use the software you installed with the printer or another software program to rotate the image 180 degrees. The problem might not display on the other end of the printout.
Avoid leaving unprotected cartridges out of the printer for an extended period of time.
Always use the Power button to turn off the printer. This protects the cartridges from drying out.
Windows only: If you are experiencing garbled, jumbled or illogical text, incomplete printouts, or missing text or graphics, go toContinuous Pages of Strange or Garbled Characters Print in Windows.
Step four: Clean the cartridges using an automated toolFollow these steps to run an automated tool to clean the cartridges if you found defects on the extended test report.

What Print Resolution for Epson R800?

I wonder what the value for "Print Resolution" in the Printer module should be to print with an Epson R800 on glossy or luster paper at the highest quality settings (Photo RPM).
I would rather not have LR do any re-sampling... but given it asks for a resolution, I am unsure what is the best value to provide.

Antonio,
LR is limited to 480 dpi, not printer ppi:
"This number of ink drops a printer can put on paper is called the printer resolution dpi. So if a printer has a resolution of 1200 dpi but requires 16 drops of ink to display a color, the actual resolution is much lower. Since ink drops are used in both directions (length and width: 16 drops made up of 4 rows of 4 drops), you could say that the effective resolution would be 1200 divided by 4 (or 300) dpi. Practically this isn't entirely true since modern inkjet printer can spray tiny ink drops that overlap each other. Roughly you can say that the higher the printer dpi, the higher the print quality, but it also depends on how the printer forms the dots on paper."
quote from this article:
http://www.wildpicture.com/pages/photography/dpi.htm

Unchecking Print Resolution - need clarification, need Jeff Schewe

Seeking clarification on using the print module in LR. Have read several threads in which Jeff Schewe (Jeff, are you there?)suggests that you use your file as a master file in LR and that if you uncheck the print resolution box, you can print multiple sizes of an image by merely changing the print size in LR, provided you uncheck the print resolution box.
Want to make sure that I've got this workflow right. You do your edits in LR and process your raw file. Then bring the file into CS3 for whatever other tweaks are needed. Add a layer and do your output sharpening on this layer, but don't go up to the Image, Image Size command. Do your sharpening without resizing or resampling.
My RAW files come into CS3 with a resolution of 240 pixels/inch. This is the native resolution?? After sharpening in CS3 (without resizing or resampling), bring the file back into LR. In the print module, uncheck print resolution (LR shows the resolution as being 240 ppi)and enter the height and width of the print size (not the paper size, but the print size) in the cell size. Go into page setup (Windows) which will take you into your print driver. On my Epson r2400 this is where I choose sheet vs roll, paper type, print quality, click ICM, then click off. Ok my way out of the Epson driver back to LR. On the white page layout in the center of the print module, LR will give me a new ppi reading. In my workflow, I typically print at 8x12 inches, so now LR is telling me that it is at 275 ppi. Pick profile and rendering intent in color management. As long as the read out for my print size in the white center section of lightroom reads between 180-480ppi, then at this point I am good to go and click print.
Have I got it? Am I missing something? Please, enlighten me.
Will LR provide a superior print to CS3 or is it six of one, half dozen of the other?
Thanks,
Cynthia

First off, it's poor form to address posts in a public forum to single individuals...this is a forum and ALL members should be encouraged to post...this is akin to asking for an answer to a question be sent directly by email.
The resolution of raw files is xxxxpixels by xxxxpixels. That's the only way to think of resolution in Lightroom. As a result, the image may be said to be 240, 300, 360 or 480 PPI depending on the size the image will print. A small print, held closer will need more PPI than a large print hung on a wall. So the resolution of a raw file will vary depending on the size of the final cropped & printed image. As long as the PPI of the image size is between 180-480 PPI you really have no reason for up or down sampling...
When I work on an image in Photoshop from Lightroom, I'll have an image print size in mind. I use softproofing for final tweaks to the image-often applied locally and set the PPI (Image Size without resample) to the size I want then use PhotoKit Sharpener for the resulting pixel density. Then hit save and print from Lightroom.
The -Edit file in Lightroom has the pixel density I speced in Photoshop and the softproofing tweaks as well. I then print form Lightroom-not so much because Lightroom is capable of producing BETTER prints...but because I find it quicker and easier to print with LR's print environment.
If I want to make a different sized print (or a print on different papaer requiring a different profile) I'll open the tiff image into Photoshop from Lightroom using the Edit Original...my original tiff file with all layers pops open, I'll make whatever changes I need and hit save again...so that one master tiff file becomes my print mater file with all the layers I may need to either use, or turn off if I don't need them. The same image, if printed 4x6 will have different pixel density than a 13x19" print, thus I'll have tow separat sets of output shaprening. But I don't need to resample the image, I resize without resampling checked to change the ratio and density.
And yes, all of this with Lightroom's print module set to no resampling and no sharpening...minor changes in the image cell size in LR don't require going back into Photoshop for resizing...

Let the printer determine colors in Acrobat 8

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to let the printer (post script) determine the colors when printing in Acrobat 8. I have read in the user guide that I can configure Acrobat to allow the printer to determine the colors, I just haven't figured out how. Below is a clip from the user guide.
"Letting the printer determine colors when printing
In this workflow, the application does no color conversion, but sends all necessary conversion information to the
output device. This method is especially convenient when printing to inkjet photo printers, because each combi
nation of paper type, printing resolution, and additional printing parameters (such as high-speed printing) requires
a different profile. Most new inkjet photo printers come with fairly accurate profiles built into the driver, so letting
the printer select the right profile saves time and alleviates mistakes. This method is also recommended if you are
not familiar with color management.
If you choose this method, it is very important that you set up printing options and turn on color management in
your printer driver. Search Help for additional instructions."
I have changed the color output in the print driver and I would like those settings to be applied when printing from Acrobat.
Thanks!

For PostScript printers (as opposed to PCL printers or raster printers with proprietary formats), Acrobat always generates the output (i.e., the PostScript) and passes that through the driver. The PostScript driver in fact doesn't generate or affect the generated PostScript except for certain device options such as tray and paper size selection, duplexing, etc. The color options of the PostScript driver are effectively ignored.
Also, in general, Adobe strongly recommends against the let printer determine color option. Beginning with Acrobat 9, the default is the Acrobat Color Management option. (Due to transparency flattening and other considerations, all color management and conversion to device colors, CMYK, should be done within Acrobat by the print process and not at the PostScript printer!)

CS applications printing inconsistent color

My problem is that the same file prints differently in Photoshop, Illustrator, InD and Acrobat. I've synchronized the color settings in Bridge. Nevertheless they produce different color when I print. Illustrator & InD are pale, and Acrobat is too dark. Photoshop alone produces true color.
I'm currently testing with an Illustrator vector graphic. When I save it as an Illustrator PDF and print from Acrobat, colors are too dark. When I save a PSD copy of the image and then place it in the Illustrator file, next to the vector version, they both print with matching pale colors. When I print the same PSD from Photoshop, colors are bright and accurate. So the color difference is related to the application (and printer), not the file.
Let me emphasize that all apps use the same synchronized color settings. I've turned the printer's color management off, and color handling is always by the CS app. The "printer profile" menu is set to the correct paper type. Rendering intent, perceptual. Still each program produces different color.
Any ideas? Thanks for your suggestions.
-Neil
PS. This is with a silver iMac, OSX 10.5.3, CS3, and an Epson R1900 with the newest driver.
PPS. Yes, I have calibrated my monitor, but this isn't a screen/print comparison. Photoshop prints colors true to my monitor and to what the color value actually is.

In addition to the above, I've also noticed that printing from Illustrator CS3 results in lower resolution line art, as if the screen res image is printing, rather than Illustrator outputting at the resolution of the printer. The same Illustrator file, opened in Photoshop, will print at whatever resolution it is rastered to on import.
The second problem is that the Epson driver doesn't appear to pay attention to the settings, coating the page with gloss optimizer and using photo black ink even when paper has explicitly been set to plain paper with gloss optimizer turned off.
On my Epson 4000 and 9880, I've used the Colorburst RIP. Does anyone know of a similar software RIP for the R1900?
Also Epson Utility appears to not work at all if the R1900 is either on a shared computer, or plugged into the USB Port of an AiPort base station or Time Capsule? Are there plans to add this functionality? It's a drag to not be able to see the ink level remaining from any computer other than the one the printer is connected to, or not from any computer if the printer is connected to the TimeCapsule basestation.

Can't get a color logo to print in color

PostScript newbie here... I have two issues with a postscript image I'm trying to print.
I have a green logo .eps file that I print to an HP color laserjet printer via a Linux server, but the logo only prints in greyscale. I have reviewed the image code, and tweaked the code to specify color (e.g. changed the "image" command to "colorimage"), to no avail. Can anyone assist me in getting a color printout? Here's the main part of the code (specific image bits removed):
%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
%%TemplateBox:0 0 188 78
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 235 97
%%PageOrigin:0 0
/width 188 def

[width 0 0 height neg 0 height]
{currentfile picstr readhexstring pop}
image
grestore
} def
pixwidth pixheight scale
dopic
(image bits here)
%%Trailer
showpage
The second issue is that I can't get the image to embed in another page - that is, when I call the image to print in a C program, the printer spits out the logo on a separate page. The goal here is to embed a color logo (the .eps file) into a certificate, where the rest of the certificate contents are generated by PCL commands. I've been able to embed a PCL image (too much aliasing) and an HPGL image (plotter print dulls sharp corners), but the .eps file doesn't want to play on the same page as the certificate. Any ideas?
Any help is appreciated!
- Bry

I found a resolution for the color issue. As I mentioned before, I am trying to print an .eps image - out of frustration, I converted the image to .ps on the off chance that the printer would read the image differently. Sure enough, the printer liked the .ps format and printed a color image. Go figure.
Still can't get the logo to print in the body of the certificate, though. I removed the showpage command from the end of the file and tried to reprint, but that just prevented the image from printing at all. Some PostScript code investigation suggested that replacing showpage with the command show might do the trick - but no luck.
Still digging - I'll post the solution if and when I find it. And as always, if you have other suggestions please post them.

How do I only allow certain users to print in color?

I work at a K-12 school and purchased the HP Color LaserJet Professional CP5225dn Printer (CE712A) for use in our computer lab. I would like to know if it is possible to have it so that only certain users can print in color (possibly put a password on it). I know the cost for color is higher, and therefore, would like it so that students have to approve through teacher if they want to print in color.
We are running it on our Print Server (networked) not through USB.
Thank you for the help.

Hi,
That's a very good question actually. In my corporate networks, we are talking about hundreds of laser printers and the ONLY thing we can do: only allow people access to a set of mono laser printers, not all printers. For example, the following printer is using B&W as default but can't stop users to print in colors if they could access to the resourse:

HP Laserjet 2550L Won't Print In Color

I recently upgraded to Leopard, and now my HP Laserjet 2550L will not print in color. I've tried printing for several different apps, but they always come out in b & w. It does however print in color when printing a test page from the printer itself, so it must be a driver issue.
Currently I'm running with the "HP color Laserjet 2550 series" driver available via PPDPicker. I've also tried several other drivers listed there to see if by chance one of them would work, but to no avail. I downloaded and tried installing HP Laserjet v5.5.2.051 from HP's website, but I can't get it to install. Actually this driver doesn't even show up in PPDPicker, because for some reason it saves as a text file, which seems weird since the dmg file is about 17mb.
Anyway, this has been driving me nuts all night, so if anyone has a solution or suggestion, I'm all ears.
Thanks.

I see you are having a print quality issue, no color on page, with your M251nw Laserjet. You changed the toner cartridges and the printer is still not printing in color. Have you tried taking all the color toner cartridges out of the printer and reseating them to make sure they are secure in their positions?
As well, I would advise taking a look at the document linked below. It will walk you through the process for troubleshooting a print quality issue with this printer.

No Printer Resolution Options for hp LaserJet Enterprise 600 M601

Running under Mac OS 10.6.8, we've run into a problem printing separations to our new hp LaserJet Enterprise 600 m601 printer from Illustrator CS4, CS5 and CS6.
In the printer dialog box, once under the "Output" section, with the mode set to either "Separations" or "In-RIP Separations", there are no options listed in the "Printer Resolution" drop-down.
I've tried re-installing the driver, changing the resolution settings in the printer itself, using a generic PS driver, and contacting hp directly (their solution was to contact Adobe). I have yet to contact Adobe itself, but none of my other attempts netted a different result.
In the document ink listing, the Frequency and Angle listings are still editable, but needs to be done manually for every colour, and the dot shape options are non-existant.
We had previously been using a hp LaserJet 2300n, but we were running into insufficient memory issues on an increasingly frequently basis. The driver for the 2300n had several different sets of Printer Resolution settings, so once the new printer was set up, I *assumed* that it would have the same kind of options.
I have discovered that if I change my PPD from the proper driver (HP LaserJet 600 M601 M602 M603) to the old one (Hp LaserJet 2300) I am then able to select the resolution I want from the drop-down list, switch the PPD back to the proper one for the M601, and it seems to work (leaving the 2300 as the PPD file results in a warning and a failed print attempt).
I also tried printing something from a non-Adobe program using the M601, and there were two options available for printer quality (resolution?) settings.
Any thoughts?

Re instakll the printers driver first remove the printer from the printer list.
My only thought!
