Color printing with new Pixma very slow
(this was also posted on the general Airport Extreme forum, but I realized later that it's more pertinent to this one)
I recently replaced a Canon Pixma iP4300 printer with an iP4700. It works fine when it's connected directly to my iMac, but when I connect it to my Airport Extreme (to share it with other computers in the house), the color printing is extremely slow. Regular document printing is fine, but a color graphic or photograph takes a very long time. This never happened with my iP4300.
I've tried all the suggestions in the Printer Troubleshooting file and all my drivers and software are the latest versions.
Any other things I should try?
Hello Andy, Thank you!
- The computer is a New MacBook Pro with 4GB of RAM.
- Many times, I try with new libraries, even I try Format to zeros, and when import new pictures, the problem appears again.
- All the pictures are imported to the main HD.
- Is a regular spinning type.
- I had try every option, even change the computer for a new one.
- Yes, the OS en every case was updated to latest version.
- No problem by the questions, I apreciate your help.
Best regards!
Ps.
In some users chats, the people says that is a bug of the last version of Aperture, but not in all cases appears.

Welcome to the HP Forum.
You need software installed on your computer to use all the advanced features of the printer.
Select your printer HP Officejet 4500 All-in-One Printer Series
Drivers control hardware connected to the computer (wired or wireless)
Software controls the programs that interact with the User
General Installation Instructions
Open HP Drivers & Downloads
Enter your Printer Model information
Select your Printer from the “Results” list
Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu
Click NEXT and Scroll down
Look for category Driver - Product Installation Software
Select the Basic Driver, e-print, or Full Feature Software
Save the *.exe installation package(s) on your computer
The file(s) will likely save to the "Downloads “folder.

Scroll the video list back and forth until you find the video that most closely matches your situation.
If using a USB connection: Download and install the driver software before connecting a USB cable.
Ethernet: If the printer supports Ethernet, you may connect the printer to the network (and assign the printer an IP address at the router, if you like). Once the printer is connected to the network, be sure the printer is turned on and then install the printer software.
After the initial installation is complete and working, be sure to check for and install any relevant updates - check Category - Update

I have a ColorMunki Photo and a Canon Pixma Pro 100 that I have been using on my Mac with Photoshop CC. No issues. I must have changed something because now when I go to print, a popup says "Please use Adobe Color Printer Utility if you need to print with No Color Management". It is telling me that my I am trying to print without color management and this method of printing isn't supported. So, I reprofiled my monitor and printer and have brand new .icc profiles and it is still doing the same thing. Can someone tell me the exact things that need to be changed in Photoshop in order to use my .icc profile for color managed printing? I have no idea what I have changed. If I change to a different profile that message doesn't pop up. My document profile says that it is the same as the printer profile I am trying to print from. Does the document profile need to be set to my monitor .icc profile or the printer .icc profile that I want to print from? Any help would be appreciated! It is driving me crazy!
Please read these very recent thread, as it applies to you in full:

CTAS with BLOB column very slow
Hi,
I am creating a new table from backup table having BLOB type of data.
Table size for backup table is approx 250G (along with lob segment) and I am creating new table with predicate selectivity of 110 GB.
Query used is "CREATE TABLE CLAIM AS SELECT /*+ PARALLEL(CLAIM_bkp_04,16) */ * FROM CWS_CLAIM_WORK_bkp_04 WHERE pxobjClass <> 'Claim-Controller' or pyStatusWork <> 'Resolved-Completed' ;
Even after using parallel degree of 16 for CTAS, peformance is very very slow.
Can anyone tell what's the reason for this behavior..
Best Regards

New iMac very slow? why?
Hi,
I have recently bought brand new iMac 21,5" 2,7 Ghz i5 with 8GB ram and 1 TB memory. I have transfered all data from Time Machine backup. And my computer is very very slow with apps, expecialy when it wakes up from sleep. I turn on safari, illustrator and photoshop and it takes 10 minutes to became normal. If I open mail it is very very slow. Also, twitter app. I don't know where the problem is. It is brand new computer. It has all the power. I have checked "verify disk" and everything is ok. I have repaired all permissions, and still nothing. iPhoto is extremely slow but its just iPhoto, very bad program.
But after 5-10 minutes after wakeup iMac starts to behave normal. When Photoshop is turned on (after 5-10 min) it starts to act normal. Sometimes excel doesn't won't to turn on. Mouse icon turns rainbow circle and nothing. I force quit it and start again and after 2-3 minutes it opens.
Does anybody have an idea what should i do?Thank you. Here are info:

Memory full with nothing running, very slow
Our macbook suddenly started running very slow and having programs freeze a lot after a partial migration form a power PC G5. In short it happens in two different accounts. Activity monitor shows the cpu is not doing much (idle > 70%) but the memory is very full even when only activity monitor has launched.
Is it right for activity monitor to be showing almost all of the 1 GB used (0.78GB) immediately after a restart with only activity monitor running (see image). I don't know what most of these things are. CPU usages was very low. launch program takes a long time, switching between programs, pretty much anything between programs, saving, or launching. Also programs (at least firefox and power point which I use alot) freeze frquently. (What I have tried is listed below). Yes I have ordered more memory but that doesn't address the issue that this was working fine before. Once much is launched the memory use is essentially 100%
The cause: macbook had been working fine with several user accouts and normal operation. We had used it since "mid 2007". Our old G5 is dying (video card I believe). So I did a partial migration using the firewire migrate in the OS. I migrated my account and then separately migrated some of the applicaitons. I also started using Outlook and set up all my email accounts in it. What should the activity look like?

not much on login launch. other account has less and also slow.Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Lion Cache Cleaner, CockTail, for example.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
SuperDuper!

New Firefox Very Slow Bookmarks all gone restore not working Can I get them back?
Woke up today to new firefox update installed. Now Firefox VERY slow & all of my Bookmarks are gone as well as Bookmarks Toolbar empty. IE runs fast like usual, but Firefox barely loading.
Tried Restore from available dates, but all come back unable to process.Some of you will want to shoot me; Mozilla may yank this reply. BUT I had the same problem for about a week, struggled in vain, poured over the help section and got 3 replies to my posted question. Nothing, absolutely nothing worked.
Want to know what solution I finally came up with? '''''CHROME.'''''
It imported my precious bookmarks from IE and FF. I'm going to uninstall IE now and leave FF as an emergency backup browser which I don't expect to need anymore. -
Applet with JDBC runs very slow
I have recently created an applet which I am using to interface with a MS SQL Server 2000 database using JDBC. The server is running W2K Server, and a Tomcat web server.
There are some performance problems with this application. The volume of data being demanded by the database is very low, yet it runs very slow. More specifically, however, the application runs at a very fast pace for several seconds, then "stalls" for 10 -15 seconds.
The stalling of the application does not take place at the same place in the code all the time; rather it seems to be completely independent of what I am doing. Sometimes a particular operation takes 20 seconds to complete, but the next day the same thing only takes 20msec.
Any ideas?
Thankssounds like network usage issues

HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer with Apple iPad & iPhones
I have an HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw Color Printer that I've successfully used as an "air print" device to print from both iPhones and iPads. For some unknown reason, I can't print from iPhones and iPads anymore. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Is this a result of Apple most recent iOS upgrades? Everything was working with iOS 6.0.x and seems to have stopped working with iOS 6.1.x.
I "think" I'm try to determine what I need to upgrade (printer firmware or iOS device firmware . . . or both).
Thanks in advance.Hey,
I see you are having an issue with Air Print on your CP1525nw Color Laserjet Pro. Have you tried a full network power cycle?
Unplug the router and printer while on
Power down the iOS device completely. Check out the following link for how: http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonehowtos/qt/turn_off_iphone.htm
Wait 30 seconds
Power the router up and wait for it to completely initialize before proceeding
Power the printer up and wait for it to completely initialize before proceeding
Power the iOS device back up
It sounds like the network most likely lost communication with the bonjour service of the printer.
If you need to update the firmware of the CP1525nw please click the following link: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=lj-86473-9&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
Let me know how it goes.

New folder, very slow typing response
Just bought my 2nd 13" mb pro from the apple store, had them install an addition 2g memory before I took it home and ever since I opened the package a couple weird things are happening.
1) In entourage, when I goto make a new sub-folder below my INBOX I type in the name of the folder and the type is very very slow, never keeps up and it jumbles the words in the wrong positions. Eg. I type FITNESS on the keyboard, and it comes up NIFITESS and is very slow doing that. Whats the deal? New laptop, original and registered office installed. (almost like it has low memory)
2) The system sometimes will hang for 5-10 seconds doing normal tasks, always comes back but it acts like it has memory issues
Any help?I am going to take her in tomorrow, since its new there is no reason why I shouldn't. The PRAM reset "seems" to have fixed the issue. Just not sure why I would have to reset that on a brand new machine 2 hours after it was turned on for the first time, makes me think something else is brewing in there.

I just bought a new T530 and it is running very slow. A little background. I am not too tech savvy and use a T520, T420 (both of which I bought used) and this new T530. All are i5, 4 GB RAM and because they are work machines I have whole disc encryption, VPN software and some other required software. All have regular HDD as spped hasn't been an issue for me. Of the 3 my T420 is by far the fastest. The T520 is slower but acceptable but the brand new T530 is very slow. I use Chrome for my personal browser on all machines but for work stuff it is Internet Explorer 8 and Microsoft Outlook for e-mail. I have searched posts here and deleted some of the Lenovo and Thinkpad preloaded software, performed updates, stiopped some start-up programs in msconfig and made sure it is set to maximum performance. Even when I have no programs running the processor is running in the background constantly. It is slow to boot up and slow to open any programs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am going to try and use the 530 and 420 side by side to compare what processes and services are running to see what is different. Any other suggestions would be very helpful.

Color printing with high resolution in smartforms
Hello colleagues...
I need to print color images with True-color resolution, but in Form Graphics Administrator ( transaction SE78 ) I can only upload pictures with extension TIFF and BMP, and with resolution 24-bit maximum.
With this resolution, the quality of colors will not be optimal because is distorted from original.
This printing we need for labels that have pantone code of colors, that should not be changed to any similar tones.
Does anybody knows how can I print true color pics with smartforms without reducing image quality?
Or exist any other tool in SAP for printing with high quality?
thanks in advance,
Ibrahim Andres.You can upload TrueColor 24 bit Bitmaps into SE78, but SE78 converts them to 256 color images, that's why you see reduces quality when the image is printed. I think it's not possible to print images higher than 256 colors using existing smartform technology.
Regards
Sridhar
