Color ID doc prints MOST elements in gray scale.

Please help. I'm at the end of my rope. Deadline looming.
I have an ID document that is ALL color. When I go to print it, no matter if it's set for ID color management or printer color management, most elements of the page come out in gray scale. It's a perfect representation of the document, only in grays. Oddly, there are elements that print in color. Even weirder, one object from an AI file will print in perfect color, but another object from the same AI file into the same ID doc will print gray.
Everything is CMYK. I even use Bridge to control colors between programs. I cannot figure this out.
Any advice?
ps... not sure it matters, but I am printing on an HP cp2025dn. Windows 7. CS5.

Try another printer.

Printing in colour and gray scale

Can I print page 1 in colour and rest in gray scale in booklet form?

Hi Michael
Thank you for your response. I am using a Toshiba studio2820c and have been printing using Acrobat's booklet function. I have managed to produce my booklet in the required format by printing and then scanning. My original in Publisher is greyscale and colour - I wasnt sure how to save to greyscale? If I could do this it would give me a better finished job as I am printing, scanning and printing.
Thank you for your help.

How to print a downloaded color document in black or gray scale

I have Adobe Reader 9; Windows Vista Home Premium; HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless printer. I have downloaded a document that is pre-set to print in color. I want to print it in black or gray scale. I click on the printer icon for the printing pop up. When I click on the Properties bar to make the request for black or gray scale, nothing happens. What steps can I take to convert the pre-set color download to be printed in black or gray scale? Thanks!

I have only had the experience when I have downloaded a link from within an email to my Hotmail account when the download has already been set up in color. To date, I have not had that problem with Word. There are specifically two situations regarding two different monthly emailed newsletters. This is through Internet Explorer 8; Windows Vista Home Premium. (I will not use Internet Explorer 9. It causes blocks for routine procedures, especially involving my Hotmail account--such as not being able initially to download a normal attachment or, if downloaded, not being able to print a normal download attachment.) However, after I sent out my request for help, I switched to Mozilla Firefox and was able to print the "color" download in black right away because the Preferences bar responded as it should. (Through Internet Explorer 8, regarding this particular link/download/attachment, the printing pop up had a Properties bar. However, I am aware that, in some other pop up formats, there are both a Properties bar and a Preferences bar to choose from.) I have Mozilla Firefox as a backup because, sometimes, I have to resort to it to download email attachments (whether black or color) coming from the east coast when they will not download through Internet Explorer 8. (I am near the geographic center of the US.) Thank you for your interest in my concern. I will gladly accept any advice regarding being able to print an email attachment/link color download in black when using Internet Explorer 8! Does it depend on how the link attachment is set up or what the link attachment is??

Did you apply the recent Epson software 2.1.9 update?
What type of file is it (file format)? What bit depth and what color space?

I cannot get the same colors when I print an image using Elements 12 (way off) and iPhoto (Close to Monitor color)

My image colors are over saturated and off in tone when I try to print with Elements 12 but if I take the same image in to iPhoto the colors are much closer to what I see on the monitor. There does not seem to be a way to match the color profile of iPhoto .
Do you have a suggestion?

Epson replied
Thank you for contacting Epson regarding your Epson Stylus Photo R2880.
We have seen an increase in calls of users using 10.7/10.8 with darkness or color issues. We do know this issue is coming from Adobe programs and they are aware of it and have told customers to test this by printing a photo from Apples Preview program, something other than an Adobe program. So if you right click on a jpeg file and select "open with", choose Preview and make settings here and print, the print should come out more like you are used to seeing. If it comes out normal, then this will tell you the program is the issue and you will need to contact Adobe for a fix or an update.
I subsequently did a color test print with Preview from an exported photo from Lightroom 4. I used Color Sync to manage the color with my icc profile to match the paper. The color came out perfectly. I then printed the picture with LR having the application manage the color and the reds remain washed out with an unacceptable print.
So it looks like the problem is with Adobe, not Epson.

I have been having a issue with getting the colors on my monitor to match the colors fro my print lab. I now have the monitor calibrated to match the prints but when I open elements it doesn't use the same colors. If i have it use the calibrated profile by changing the color management settings, the color picker no longer shows true white or black. How do I get elements 12 to honor the new calibrated settings?

Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
It says ;
Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
Continuing...
And stops ...
Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)

Hp Officejet 8000 Set to print Gray scale but still using color

Hp Officejet 8000 Set to print Gray scale and use only Black ink, Draft Quality, but still using color ink. I'm replacing color ink cart more often the Black. I understand even when set to black only it will still use some color in cleaning and such. but not the amount of color it is using now. Printer has me pissed total waste of money. I'm ready to get my Xerox Phaser solid ink printer fixed. as it was super cheap on ink.

Hello Lynn,
Is your network router located near your desktop PC and L7590 officejet?
If so, I would suggest that you connect the L7590 to the router with an ethernet cable(you can also leave your usb cable connected to the desktop). Then you can connect more directly (still through the network) to the L7590 with your dv7 laptop instead of connecting through the desktop. Since your dv7 is wirelessly connected to the router, and the L7590 is also connected (wired) to the same router, the setup is much easier.
If you want to try this, first download the software from hp.com (click here for the download page). When you run the installation on your dv7 notebook you will be guided through the steps necessary for connecting to the printer via the network.
Dont forget to reply and let us know how it goes!

Help with color setup, pictures printing dark, display looks great

Ok, first let me say I am completely new to Mac, so some of this may sound incredibly stupid but I really need some direction as to how to solve a color issue. Please bare with me as I describe what is probably a most simple fix to those of you with knowledge.
My issue is that I have great display, the pictures, (some taken with a Nikon D100 and D200 in raw format) look wonderful on screen and then, I print.... and for lack of a better description, they appear darker and less "colorful".
The printer is an Epson Photo R1800 which did a wonderful job while on my windows box (using photo shop elements). I had the problem before and after leopard so not an os issue.
I have looked around a bit and found information regarding calibration, icc profiles, etc... and have downloaded the icc profiles from the Epson website. I guess my frustration is that I expected this to be more straight forward as I did nothing but install drivers on the windows box and the pictures printed as they looked on screen, which is my ultimate goal since I am not a pro.
I guess I cannot understand the need to buy another piece of equipment to calibrate a display just to print family photos and it just doesn't make sense to me that the display, which is truly a great picture, needs to be dulled down to match what the printer is putting out. This appears to me to be more of a printer output or driver issue than the display being incorrect.
Sorry for the rant, it is one of frustration and admitted ignorance.
Would much appreciate any help.

What is (probably) happening is that the output to the display is boosting the picture to "look great" whereas what you actually need to do is have a neutral display and then adjust the picture to make it look good on that neutral display.
That's why you need to calibrate the display if you want accuracy when you print.
You may also require the output profiles for your printer, so that when the picture is printed the printer driver makes the correct mapping to the inks and paper.
There's been some other colour management threads recently - search for those and follow the links to some good articles that will explain all you need to know about colo(u)r management. It's very, very, important to get this right when you are printing for yourself, or even when you are sending the image off to a good lab to print.

Laserjet Pro 400 color MFP M475dw print in black and white

Hello,
I have a Laserjet Pro 400 color MFP M475dw printer that is contected to a network so that multiple users can print from it. I want to be able to restrict it so that they can only print in black and white and double sided. Is this possible? and if so could you please tell me how?
I am not able to restrict them on a print by print basis, hence I am looking for a solution where I only have to make the change once.
Thanks for your help!

I understand you want to change a setting one time so that no matter who is sending the printer a print job it prints in gray scale. Actually I found two ways to do it. Here is the basic way to do it as described on page 16 of the User Guide. Also, you could set up this printer to receive emails (ePrint) in gray scale only. I just did a test after making changes in my ePrint settings at www.eprintcenter.com and no color was printed on a regular document containing color. I hope that answers your question. If not, let me know. I will be happy to explain greater detail.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

HP Color LaserJet CP2025 Printer - Vertical Yellow Band printing on every page

For the last several weeks whenever I print from my HP Color LaserJet CP2025 Printer the pages print with a vertical yellow band on the right hand side of each page. I checked the supplies status and it says each ink cartridge has plenty of ink left so I'm at a loss as to what could be causing this yellow band. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the printer's hardware (inside roller perhaps)?
Any insight would be most appreciated.

I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 and am trying to change a printer to black and white/gray scale. All the posts I find refer to a button for Paper Quality. This does not appear on my options. Just paper handling which does not have a function to change from colour.

I cannot change the printer settings on my MacBook Pro to gray scale from colour. there is no function for Paper quality, just paper handling. any suggestions greatly appreciated - as long as they work!!

Was the printer instance properly configured when created, so the print subsystem picked the correct PPD and knows of all the device's capabilities? If in doubt, erase and create anew so you can confirm that the printer maker/model/version is getting correctly identified. This may trigger Software Update to download & install a printer update. The menus available on the print dialog depend on what the OS knows the printer can do. For instance, this is what I get in Safari's print dialog when using an HP 2550Ln color laser at the office:

Color ID doc prints MOST elements in gray scale.
