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
/height 78 def
/pixwidth 235 def
/pixheight 97 def
/picstr width string def
/dopic {
gsave
width height 8
[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!

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.

Can't get Lightroom Color Management to select custom profiles

I can't get Lightroom Color Management to select custom profiles.
- I select "other" in Profile,
- a pop-up box shows me numerous profiles to choose from
- I select a profile and the selection is highlighted
- I press "OK" and the pop-up box disappears
- but if I go back to the "Profile" selection line, only "Managed by Printer" is available.
What's wrong here?
Is the inability to select a profile the reason that prints from Lightroom look way to dark when I print them?
Vick

Oh, I'm on Windows, XP with SP2.
The profiles are in C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color
I used the .exe that was provided by Epson for installing the drivers.
Nothing fancy, nothing different.
For Lightroom, I installed it off CD, and got the 1.3.1 update off their Adobe site.
Any clues there, to solve the puzzle?

HT4356 I have the up photos smart 5514 printer and can't get it hooked up to print web pages. It says no air printers found and both a connected to the same wifi

Shannmo-
The HP PhotoSmart 5514 is on Apple's list of AirPrint printers, so it should work. <iOS: AirPrint 101>
One problem might be that your WiFi router does not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint. Contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change to its setup or a firmware update that will solve the problem.
I had a printing problem several months ago, where the WiFi had jumped to a neighbor's WiFi that happened to have the same name. There are a LOT of WiFi routers out there named "Linksys"!

How can I get my Officejet 4500 to print from my ipad

Hello,
You may only print via the HP ePrint app indeed.

Can't get "Edit Colors" to work in Illustrator CC

Hi. My boss just added Illustrator CC to my mac.
I'm not sure why, but I can't get "Edit Colors" to work in Illustrator CC.
When I select an object and try to reassign colors in the "Edit Colors" menu, the submenus are greyed out.
It works fine on Illustrator CS5, so I'm not sure what the problem is in CC.
Is this a bug or just a limitation of the CC trial period?
Can anyone please help with this?

OK, so Trial Period isn't the problem? Thanks for that info.
I'm working with customer supplied files and often have to reassign colors to artwork for different projects.
I can assign colors with the color panel, but complex designs containing multiple pieces and layers can take for-ev-er to reassign colors that way.
Like I said, "edit colors" works fine in CS5, so I'm trying to figure out why it's not working in CC.
Appreciate any help the forum members can provide.

How can I get Multi-color text it a swing componet?

How can I get Multi-color text it a swing componet?
I've tryed JTextPane and JEditorPane.
If they support having text in more then one color then I don't see how.
I want to make a color-coded Java editor in Java, but I can't color-code if I can only have one color.
JComponent.setForeground(Color fg)
is not what I need.
maybe Java doesn't support it yet.
but I hope it does.
Please help, thanks.

Hi,
I've made you a little example with a coloured JEditorPane and JTextPane:
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class ColorDemo extends JFrame {
 public ColorDemo() {
 super("ColorDemo");
 // coloured JEditorPane
 JEditorPane editorPane = new JEditorPane("text/html",
 " This "+
 " is "+
 " a "+
 " JEditorPane ");
 editorPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(250, 150));
 // coloured JTextPane
 JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane();
 textPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(250, 150));
 Document doc = textPane.getDocument();
 Style def = StyleContext.getDefaultStyleContext().
 getStyle(StyleContext.DEFAULT_STYLE);
 try {
 StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.blue);
 doc.insertString (0, "This ", def);
 StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.red);
 doc.insertString (5, "is ", def);
 StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.green);
 doc.insertString (8, "a ", def);
 StyleConstants.setBold(def, true);
 StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.black);
 doc.insertString (10, "JTextPane", def);
 } catch (Exception e) {}
 JPanel contentPane = new JPanel();
 contentPane.add(textPane);
 contentPane.add(editorPane);
 setContentPane(contentPane);
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 JFrame frame = new ColorDemo();
 frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
 public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
 System.exit(0);
 frame.pack();
 frame.setVisible(true);
}Hope this helps,
Kurt.

Can not get any color swatches into Gradient Swatch panel.

I've tried dragging, clicking dragging and only get the circle/line-thru-it. And there is no New Gradient Swatch option anywhere that I can see.
Listen: I've now spent over 4 hours online -- today alone! -- reading instructions that simply do not work. After 4 years of InDesign work and design changes made because I can't get two colors to simply gradient, its time for this function to work for me.

You have at least two possibilites to add gradients to your swatches:
1. Select an Object with a gradient applied. (Take care to have the gradient part selcted in the stroke/fill part in the tool panel.) Got to the Swatch Panel and in the menu of the panel select "New Gradient Swatch…"
or
2. In the swatch panel menu got to "New gradient Swatch…", edit the color stoppers, add some ore remove some and click on the add or ok button.

I can't get my Mackbook Pro to print on 11 x 17 paper. Help?

I can't get my Mackbook Pro to print on 11 x 17 paper to a wireless printer. It will print on 8.5 x 11, even when I select 11 x 17 Help?
I am smart, smrt.

I do have the tabloid option, but it won't print to 11 x 17. If I go into page setup in the print menu, the 11 x 17 option is "grayed out" and it can't be selected as a print option. I can go into "manage custom sizes" and put 11 x 17, and it won't work. It doesn't matter what size I select, it prints to 8.5 x 11. Stuck.

Can't get Canon iR-ADV C5250 printer to work on Yosemite

Can't get Canon iR-ADV C5250 printer to work on Yosemite; keep getting "printer is not responding."
I did try and install the driver for Mavericks first. I *have* deleted printer and appropriate /Library files. And re-installed using "UFRII_v10.06.00_Mac.dmg" which is the equivalent of what worked on the previous Macbook Air.
We do use Dept. ID Management. I know how to set that up. Although we do not use a PIN. Again in other macs and computers that's not an issue.
PAHU? :-)
Thanks!
David

Hi David,
Sorry for the late reply. Printer not responding is typically an issue with the protocol or the wrong network address. Easiest way to check that the correct IP address has been used is to enter the IPv4 address into a web browser on the Mac. This should result in you connecting to the internal web page of the C5250. If this does happen, then you know the IP address used to create the printer was correct.
As for the protocol, the UFR2 driver supports LPD and HP Jetdirect-Socket. It does not support IPP. And there have been some users who have found even the LPD protocol will not communicate with the printer, so check that you are using HP Jetdirect-Socket. If you cannot remember what protocol was used when creating the queue, then you can open System Information (Applications > Utilities) and then select Printers in the left column. If you have more than one printer on this Mac, the top right pane will list them. Select the C5250 to see its information in the bottom right pane. Then look for the entry of URI. This is the print queue. It should show socket://ip-address, indicating the HP Jetdirect-Socket was used. If it shows lpd or ipp then you know one of the other protocols was used.
Hope this helps. Reply if you need more assistance.

Can I get my HP F4500 wireless printer to work with my Ipad?

Can I get my HP F4500 Wireless Printer to work with my Ipad....It is an IOS 4.3.2

Philip-
I don't see a 4500 HP printer on the list of AirPrint printers, so you will most likely need an alternate way to print to it.
One way is to use an iPad App such as Print n Share. It has its own browser, mail, photo and text programs that can print to some non-AirPrint printers. I don't know if it can print from within other iPad Apps.
Another way is to use a computer to share the printer as AirPrint over WiFi, using a program like Printopia for the Macintosh. For a free solution, search the web for AirPrint Activator.
I recommend you try the free iPad App, HP iPrint Photo.

I have macbook without a firewire port, I have usb 2.0 port, now my os is not working I can not get through apple logo loading , I can not enter safe mode, I can only enter one user mode, how can I backup my data, I have very important data in my hdd

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.
