Color mismatch in prints

I print out of Lightroom, monitor and printer calibrated with Colormunki:
Softproof with the paperprofile looks fine (whether the manufacturer's or mine)
Print into jpeg file - looks fine
Print to printer with identical profile - colors don't match. It makes a significant difference whether perceptiv or relative is chosen in color management, but in both cases colors just don't match. Perceptive - colors look completely different, relative - most colors are good, but deep black shadows for example are dark grey instead of black.
Printing the colorsamples for the colormunki - all colors look perfect.
I've spent a fortune meanwhile on paper and ink...
LR4.4
Apple iMac OS X 10.8.4
Epson Stylus Pro 3800, latest firmware and driver
Epson ink
Epson paper & Hahnemuehle
Canon 5D Adobe RGB

Is this a simple problem of not turning off color-management in the printer driver, so double profiling is occurring?
Or is it a more difficult situation where there is a bug in the printer driver that prevents color management from being turned off at least for some driver versions and you have to find the proper one before things will work?  Here is a long thread from a year ago with no resolution for an Epson R2880 and the user not being able to get a driver that does the color management properly:

You might try older drivers by selecting older versions of the OS:

  • Color mismatch between CS4 and Canon PIXMA PRO6500

    Hi there! I am trying to research if anyone else is having a problem with color mismatch between CS4 and their printer. Last night I printed a .tiff image out of CS4 to my Canon PRO6500 printer and the sky came out purple / pink! It was supposed to be a stormy grey color. I have the color management turned off on the printer settings. I have CS4 manages color turned on and the correct ICC profile selected for the paper I am using. When I do a soft proof in CS4 the image looks fine, but when I print I get something completely different, mostly with the sky (purple / pink) color! Just for the heck of it I did a Print Preview under my Page Setup and guess what, the sky actually shows purple / pink! So I have no idea what's going on. I checked all my setting, ink cartridges, tried different paper with the appropriate ICC profile and no dice. Still have a goofy looking sky! I thought PROOFING the image is supposed to show you how the printed image is going to look? apparently it doesn't because it's not. The Print Preview has an accurate representation of the print but I have no idea where the pink / purple sky is coming from. They are supposed to be stormy clouds as I said. I appreciate any help anyone can provide .

    I have the color management turned off on the printer settings.
    But do you have a measured color profile based on a sample print? Most likely not, so this is not doing anything in your favor. The current profile may present the defaults for a given printer, but not the actual density based on your other printer settings. So by all means, unless you can be sure to obey a full calibration throughout, turn on the printer CM. Also, since it is a Pro model, you may actualyl have to use the dedicated RIP software that was bundled with it to get correct results, not the default windows print engine.

  • HP Laserjet Pro 100 Color MFP M175nw Print missing/faded down centre of every page

    HP Laserjet Pro 100 Color MFP M175nw. Operating on Windows 7 from my laptop wirelessly. Just bought this new a few day's ago and each page of print has about 20mm wide streak missing print running down the centre. what can I do to correct this problem? I have tried printing a cleaning page a couple of times and calibrating color from the Print Quality Menu also a couple of times but this has made no difference. I'm using a Premium quality paper for use in laserjet printer's. Could someone please advise me what I can do. Thanks in anticipation.
    This question was solved.

    Hi Watcher35,
    I see that the new Laserjet Pro 100 MFP M175NW is missing print down the center of the pages, you have ran cleaning and color calibration but the issue is not resolved.
    Would this be an accurate example of the issue: but with the "Bb" would be completely missing?
    This HP document: Resolving Print Quality Issues may take you though some of the same steps you have already done, I suggest not skipping any steps.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here.

  • Printing problem with HP Color Laserjet 3000 printer

    I am using HP Color Laserjet 3000 printer, it is configured in SAP ECC6  with SPAD with device type "HPLJ4    : HP Laserjet 4 series PCL” and access method = “L: Print Locally Using LP”
    At HPUX level printer in configured with proper driver also.
    When I print from SAP, I get following error
    "Invalid option, Please refer to MAN page for valid options" as attached
    Other then above line , nothing else comes
    Please help,
    Al Mamun

    Hi,
    Make a try using the device type HKSAPWIN and the access method is front end prinitng.
    Also make sure that you are able to take the print out using the os(printer should be configured at os level first).
    Regards,

  • Just updated to new Firefox - now when clicking on a website to visit the color of the print no longer changes to indicate that I have visited that site already. How can I get that feature again?

    Since updating to new firefox I have lost a very helpful tool. Before, when I clicked on a website to visit, the color of the print would change from blue to purple to indicate that I had visited that site. Now it does not do that so it is difficult to keep track of what sites I have visited and what sites I haven't when looking down the list of possible sites to visit.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

    Adhvaresh,
    "attach" is a word we usually use for plugging in cables - but I don't think that is what you mean.
    If you want a driver for that model laserjet, I suggest you use the foo2hp set of drivers. Install Foomatic and ghostscript from here:

    Then, install foo2HP from:

  • 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 1600 Printer

    I really love my HP Color LaserJet 1600 printer but haven't been able to successfully install it in my brand new MacBook Air 1.7 despite several attempts.
    I have downloaded the correct Firmware Upgrade 20120928 v2.4 from HP Drivers web page. Unlocked RFU to ON position and installed the firmware. Added HP Color LaserJet 1600 Printer via USB, as required and my MacBook correctly identifies it as such. Though the driver I have chosen is HP Color LaserJet 2605 since the one for 1600 is not available in the database. The printer responds positively during the upgrade but later does not print. I can see the print command being transmitted to the printer but it stays dead.
    Please help and let me know stepwise how to do it correctly.

    Just upgraded my printer to HP Color LaserJet Pro 200 M251nw.... Problem solved.

  • Bad photo prints on HP Color LaserJet CP5225dn Printer

    Hey all,
    Having an issue outputting photos on my new HP Color LaserJet P5225dn printer from Adobe products. Am curious if anyone else might have run across the same issue and possibly found a solution. Here's the background information...
    Running Windows 8.1 Pro.
    HP Envy Phoenix w/Intel core i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40 GHz
    32 GB RAM
    2TB Raid 0 HD
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 640
    Spyder-profiled HP Pavilion 25xi monitors (dual setup)
    Running Adobe Creative Cloud (latest builds--issue present in prior versions, too).
    Using HP Universal Print Driver PS (latest version--only option on Windows 8), but have tried PCL 4 and 5 drivers as well.
    When printing from Adobe products, any photo seems to print without the yellow color. Color swatches and vector files print correctly. This issue seems to only apply to raster images--greens print blue, browns print purple, oranges print magenta. I have had HP support out to examine hardware of printer and everything checks out.
    I have tried every combination of ICC profile, paper setting imaginable. Have tried printing as CMYK and RGB. Have reset preferences in Adobe software. Color issues are present in InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator, and the images print consistently off in all products (is purple in INDD is also purple in PSD, etc.). I have reset printer to defaults. I have tried removing color management and printing. I have tried printer diagnostics. I have tried having the printer manage color. I have tried having the application manage color. Everything prints consistently wrong.
    I've updated video drivers, searched for ICC profiles specific to the printer, recalibrated monitors, no dice. Funny thing is that when you take that same file and send it to another printer, it prints accurately.
    Any ideas for troubleshooting are much appreciated. Any solutions would be fantastic.
    Matt

    Yeah, tried printing from PDF and image issues persist. I'm not sure what's going on if everything checks out from hardware standpoint. Appreciate your suggestions though.
    Thumbs up!

  • Hp color LaserJet 3500n printer driver

    I just got a new iMac and have marveled at how EASY everything's been ... so far. Of course, Murphy just couldn't resist and I can't get my oldie but goodie hp color LaserJet 3500n printer to print.
    I clicked + in the Print & Fax System Preferences. It found the printer. Then, the automatic driver selector chose hp color LaserJet 2.0.2. Well, that didn't work.
    I went to the hp site and the driver they have is OLD, but I tried it anyway. No luck.
    Any ideas short of a new printer?

    Try the three-part hpijs driver from here:

  • HP Color LaserJet CP1215 Printer drivers location

    Where on my hard drive has the ljcP1215-HB-pnp-win32-en.exe file from the HP Color LaserJet CP1215 Printer support page installed the needed drivers?

    Hi @zenny ,
    I can help you with locating the drivers on the computer.
    Here are the instructions for running the Plug and Play drivers.
    Click the Download only button and save this file.
    Double click on the downloaded file. The self-extracting process will appear.
    Click to accept the terms in the license agreement. Click Next.
    Driver installation begins. Driver files are pre-installed during this process.
    A screen pops up to prompt to connect the USB cable. Insert the USB cable.
    Device is connected, waiting for PnP to finish installing driver.
    Click Finish to complete software installation.
    They extract to the temp folder on the computer.
    Press the Windows key and R at the same time, to show the run command line.Type in %temp%. The folder should start with 7z.....
    Depending which operating system you are using, I would suggest downloading the Full Feature Software and Drivers if you are still having issues with the Plug and Play drivers.

  • HP Color LaserJet 2550ln printer displaying error massage

    I was trying to print a page of tickets (6) containing graphics, but my hp color laserjet 2550ln printer printed a page with the following message:
    ERROR: limitcheck
    OFFENDING COMMAND:  showpage

    Found this on the discussion posted 06-03-2010 01:55 PM   It worked for me.
    I just went through this fix yesterday. I can't remember where I found it on hp.com, though. Here it is:
    Turn printer on.
    On your printer, press the Menu button
    Press 2 (on the fax dial pad)
    Press the right arrow (next to Enter button) until you arrive at "High Speed USB.
    Press Enter
    Press right arrow to select "Off."
    Press Enter.
    Press Enter again.
    Printer will then reboot. I used to get this error occasionally with Windows XP. I wish I would have taken the time to fix this a long time ago!
