Color problem printing from iBook G4

having problems printing photos from an iBook G4 (10.3.9). The colors come out a bit over-saturated and muddy.
The same photos printed from my G5 Quad (10.4.6) come out looking fine.
I have used the iBook with a Canon ip6600 and ip6000 pixma photo printers and tried printing from iPhoto 5.0.4 and InDesign CS.
anyone else having this problem or know of a solution?

I have no idea, either.
Try these generic fixes (before reinstalling OS X):
Download the Combination Updater from Apple, use it to re-Update OS X.
Try Printer Setup Repair from www.fixamac.net.
Use a Disk Utility like Disk Warrior to repair the HD -- or, put in your install DVD and restart while holding the c key. DO NOT continue the installer - instead, find Disk Utility in the top (Finder) menus and use it to repair the hard drive.

  • Color problems printing from InDesign CC 2014 (and CC)

    When I print an ad I'm working on from InDesign, the color is off by a lot. If I save the doc as a pdf, it prints correctly from the pdf. If I print from the same InDesign doc on another machine, it prints fine. The problem is not only with this document. Using Bridge I have synched the color, restarted the computer, reinstalled InDesign CC 2014, trashed the Preferences—basically I've done everything listed on the InDesign printing troubleshooting page. Since the documents print correctly from another machine (all the settings are the same), I shouldn't have to use a work-around. I can't be making a pdf every time I need to print from InDesign—which is all the time. Any help appreciated.

    Are you using the same printer and driver on both machines?

  • Color problem prints from camera only

    I have a Sony DSC H2. It shoots great photos. When I import them into iPhoto, they look great, and they look terrific as desktop backgrounds and computer slideshows. When I print them, using Canon i960, the photos are darker, more saturated and not so clear as on screen.
    So, it must be the printer????
    However, when I have scanned some photos into iPhoto and then printed them, the printed photos are excellent, looking exactly like the original scanned photos.
    How can I get my camera's photos to print so that they look like what is in iPhoto?
    I have taken a look at Color Sync and when the camera is connected, it is the default, using sRGB profile. However, when it is disconnected, the default shows my old Olympus that I no longer use. I cannot find any way to delete its profile.

    Beverly:
    the default shows my old Olympus
    Where is this being displayed? In the Profile pane of the ColorSync application window? If so it should give the location of where that profile file is located so you can go to it and delete it.
    I had similar problems with my i850 printer. In the Advance section of the Print window under the ColorSync section tyou can select Lightness increase under the Quartz Filter menu.
    Under the Color Options section you can select ColorSync as the correction mode instead of the BJ Standard to see if that will make any change. If you find the right combination you can save it under the Presets menu as a custom preset.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3

    Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3
    I have the following problem:
    When printing from Photoshop or InDesign to a PostScript printer, Adobe recommends to let Photoshop handle the colors (I use the German version, so I don't know the exact term used, it changes slightly in all CS3 apps anyway).
    The manufacturer however told me to let the PostScript printer handle the colors.
    When I chose this option in Ps's print dialog and then choose ISO Coated as the printer pfofile, the results are fine.
    But when I place the exact same image in an InDesign file and print from InDesign or export to PDF and print via Acrobat, again using "Printer handles colors", the results are the exact same as if I had used Ps and chosen to let Ps handle the colors (way too saturated and a bit too red).
    ·Photoshop CS3
    ·InDesign CS3
    ·Test image is a TIFF in CMYK Fogra 27 Coated (which is also the working color space in Ps and ID.
    ·Printer: Xerox Docucolor 3535
    ·Printer profile: ISO Coated
    How can I make sure the printer handles the colors in other CS3 apps than Ps? I tried it with ID's print dialog (translated from the German version: Color Management > Options > Color Handling: PostScript-printer decides colors).
    Thanks a lot!

    RE: "You don't indicate what Xerox printers you have"
    In my first post I named it, is that the information you need?
    Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535
    That's interesting, so I have to find a way to turn off the printer's Color Management function? I mailed them, hope they can tell me how to do it easily. They usually just tell me to not use any profiles and so on, but that's the general rule in this area, I'm really tired of hearing it. Everybody seems to think profiles and LAB mode are nuclear science and I should stay away from it.
    Anyway, the test image I'm using is a simple photograph (size A3, 300dpi), so no transparencies at all. I'm placing this image into an equally large ID file and print it from ID, then export it to PDF-X/3 and print it from Acrobat. Hope that helps.

  • Problems printing from iPhoto 6: Page setup & Preview

    I am having trouble printing from iPhoto v6. For starters, the miniture preview frame in the print screen does not conform to the paper size selection or image orientation. (It is always a big square.) Only part of a 4x6 image image is seen in the frame. This makes predicting the final result impossible. To make matters harder, the print dialog does not remember what paper size was last used and many internal "Advanced" options reset the paper size to "letter". Simple choosing any printer preset resets the paper size. Switching from advanced options to the iPhoto options seems to alter other selected options as wlll.
    I have the most current driver for my printer. I have no problem printing from Aperture or Photoshop. I have custom color profiles and am not entirely a novice, but I am wasting much paper and ink and spraying the inside of my printer!
    The use of the native iPhoto print routines seems mutually exclusive with using Advanced options. I understood that the first iterations of iPhoto wanted us to depend on the Mac Print routines, and it was always a little touchy but I would have hoped earlier problems would have been sorted out by now. I want to print my own pictures!
    Much confusion and no place to find good instructions. For example, should I be using "Full Page" or "Standard Prints" Standard settings in the print interface? There appear to be several places to select print sizes but they do not seem linked together nor is it obvious which one is determinitive. Under color options do I select Color Corrections <none> or <Colorsync> which then forces me to use driver recommended by Canon despite the fact I have a custom profile identified in Color sync utility. It just isn't working for me.
    Are others notiing that iPhoto print routines are no longer working for them? I would like to see the internal print routines working intuitively before additional efforts are made to facilitate purchase from outside printing sources!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Just ran a test and I got a perfect card. Here's what I did.
    1 - create the card and type Command-P.
    2 - select Stylus Photo R200 under Printer
    3 - click on the Advanced button
    4 - in the bottom drop down menu select Paper Handling
    5 - select the radio button "Use documents paper size: 7.00 in x 10.00 in
    6 - now select Print Settings in the 3rd drop down menu
    7 - select the type of paper you're using and the print quality you want. I used Photo and High Speed. (also used plain paper for my test)
    9 - put a piece of 7 x 10 paper in the printer (yes, you'll have to trip the paper beforehand or use card stock designed for this)
    10 - click on Print
    11 - when the paper exits the printer quickly put it back in the printer
    That will do it. Now there is a caveat. Putting it back into the printer before drying tended to get my leading edge nipped. If you use heaver card stock I don't think that will happen but just be aware. If you wait a moment to put the page, turned over, back into the printer to let the ink dry a bit, all you'll have to do is press the middle button which will be blinking red and that will feed the other side thru when you're ready.

    Welcome to the forums Etow,
    I saw your post about the issue you are having with printing from Google Chrome. Have you tried disabling your pop up blocker to see if that will help? Also see this guide about Printing with Chrome.
    If the above does not help, try using Firefox or Internet Explorer to print.

  • HT4356 I checked everything out and had no problem printing from IPAD/MINI using the HP Photosmart 6520 printer, but the next day, using same application, my HP did not show, but was looking for the AirPrint Printer, what am I doing wrong?

    Using IPAD2, IPAD MINi, HP photosmartE6520 set up on wireless network.  No problem printing from my devices, but the following day, it is looking for AirPrint printer, why? 

    Hello lenc48,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having a few issues when it comes to printing from your mac as well as some two sided printing issues.
    I do have a some suggestions that we can try in the attempt to troubleshoot this issue.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    Please remove the usb cable (if using wireless, disregard this step) from the printer and from the Mac and leave it disconnected until further notice.
    Please click on the first link that will give you instructions on Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once the software has been removed, please disable any anti virus protection that you may have on the Mac. 
    The next step we are going to take is downloading the HP Photosmart 6520 e-All-in-One Printer Full Feature Software and Drivers - OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
    The installation will prompt you when to connect the usb cable (You will see a prompt for a wireless connection as well if that is the connection type you would like to use) so please do not connect the cable until prompted to do so.
    If you are still having issues, feel free to write me back or you can contact HP Total care direct.  If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
    Thanks for your time.

  • Problems printing from a Macbook Pro on a Kodak ESP7

    Hi,
    I am having problem printing from my Mac to the Kodak.  I have connected the mac to the printer through the settings as it can see it.  However, when I come to print it it says the printer is not responding and to check if it is turned on and properly connected.  I have tried reloading the printer etc but still cant get it to work.  I fired up my old windows laptop and that will print fine wirelessly so it can't be my BT Hub for the internet.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated as I dont want to go and have to buy another printer.
    Thanks for suggestions.

    Using the OS X built-in network printing protocols
    requires a CUPS driver. Check on Brother's site to
    see if they now have a CUPS driver for your model,
    or you can try the open source hl1250 driver from:
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hl1250/
    Unfortunately, I don't have an Intel Mac, so I don't
    know if any of these power PC drivers will work for
    you.
    Please let us know.
    I was told by a friend that the drivers are already built into the OS X 10.4.3, I hooked up the printer directly via USB and indeed it worked just fine. But, as I stated before, I just can't get the **** thing to work when the printer is connected to my PC and I try to print through the network.

    Hi,
    Apple's AirPrint only support specific models while using wired or wireless network connection.
    Plugging a printer into a USB port of Apple base is not supported for AirPrint:
    AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
    As well you must use AirPrint enabled printers for a such, none of your printers are AirPrint enabled:

    There are 3rd party solutions which allow sharing a printer connected to your Mac as AirPrint, Printopia as example provide a such:

  • Problems Printing from Epson 2400 in Lightroom 2.3

    I'm in the process of switching over from a PC to a Mac. I've gotten lightroom running and transfered all my photos over. But I'm having two big problems printing from my Epson 2400.
    *8.5x11 prints are offset. The top of the picture starts about an inch lower than it should, and the bottom typically gets cut off.
    *Lightroom refuses to print 4x6 prints. It says it's printing, and the paper feeds in, but then the printer just spits out a blank page.
    I'm using the most current version of the Epson 2400 driver that I could find on the Epson web site.
    [Update] I used iPhoto 9 to print out some pictures, and they came out fine. So this seems to be a lightroom issue or a conflict between the lightroom/epson drivers.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Further update. It appears that I can print perfectly from another account on the same mac. But the account on which my catalog resides doesn't work at all. Could my catalog have been corrupted when I transfered my photos and catalog over to the new mac from the pc? Is there any way that I can fix it? (I have tried optimize and relaunch; no luck.)
    I could -- as a last restort -- kill the catalog and reimport all my thousands of photos, but wouldn't I loose the keywords and adjustments?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
