Colors don't match when printing pictures on J4860 all-in-one

When I print pictures, the colors are not true. It doesn't matter what software I use, but usually it's Photoshop CS3. I thought it was my monitor - that I wasn't seeing the true colors in my files. But I've been able to verify that the colors on screen match the subject in the photo. The prints from the HP J4860 do not match the screen images. I currently have new ink, and they are new HP cartridges, not generic or refilled cartridges, but this has been a problem through many ink cartridge replacements.

Hi there.
I don't know if there is much we can do to improve your output. First off, I want confirm you are using an OfficeJet J4680. We don't have a J4860.
Could you post an image that is unsatisfying, and let us know what you dislike? I'm going to involve a color expert here, and he'll look to see if we can do anything.
regards, CF
I work for HP and hope to make your day Sproutastic!

Colors in Photoshop and InDesign don't match when printed

Output colors in InDesign and Photoshop (CS4) don't match. How can I calibrate? (I can choose a Pantone color for a Photoshop element that I've used in an inDesign document, import it into InDesign, and when I print, the colors don't match)
There must be a way to calibrate the colors among the CS4 software.....
(Mac OS 10.6.4 on 27" iMac)

That's what 'synchronised' means... as has been mentioned. Looks like you need to read a few colour management threads.
If you are picking color from the Pantone Libraries, you can easily get mismatches even with synchronized color settings. In ID if you leave Ink Manager>Use Lab Vales unchecked, the Pantone Solid libraries are defined with CMYK values, while in Photoshop the solid swatches are always defined as Lab values. So, if you pick a color like Pantone Solid Reflex Blue in ID, and then open a Lab, RGB, or CMYK file in PS and fill with Reflex Blue from the same library, you'll never get the default ID Reflex Blue build of 100|73|0|2 whether you are sync'd or not.
If you are actually outputting spot colors—the PS color is Duotone or a channel—then Use Lab should always be checked in ID and Color Settings would have no effect because ID doesn't have spot color management.
If you restrict yourself to the Pantone Process libraries, then you can work in CMYK mode in PS and get matches. In that case color settings might come into play if you embedded a CMYK profile in PS that conflicted with your ID doc's CMYK profile, but even in that case it's the assigned profiles that matter not the current color settings.

Too much red when printing photo on e-All-in-One-C310. Color profile needed.

Hi.
I just bought e-All-in-One-C310 and tried to print some photos - every time there is too much red color. Inks (cartridge) are HP original, paper is also from HP (Advance HP photo paper). OS - Windows 7.
It seems that I need a color profile but I can't find one on HP web-site. Can anyone help me?
Thank you in advance.

How do i reduce the size of a document when printing on my HP8600 all in one printer

I want to reduce the size of a document when I copy it on my HP 8600 all in one printer. Can it be done?

Hi,
Yes, from the printer control panel:
Various settings available from the printer's control panel, including the following:
• Number of copies
• Copy paper size
• Copy paper type
• Copy speed or quality
• Lighter/Darker settings
• Resizing originals to fit on different paper sizes
Touch Copy, Settings, Resize, Custom ... then Done.
Back to Copy menu then touch Black or Color to copy.
Regards.

Printing from InDesign and Photoshop - colors don't match

I'm printing the same CMYK image from Photoshop and from InDesign, to a HP desktop color printer. I'm using CS3, all the color settings are identical in both programs, but the printed colors don't match. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
(cross-posted in InDesign forum)

I have had the same problem: an image printed from PS differs from the same image printed from ID. However, I can't very well print as bitmap from ID since the image is part of a spread, including text. I have tried various combinations of settings. I made the PS image to 100% of the ID final size (in the layout). I tried various print dialogue settings (high transparency flattener, medium transparency flattener, color managed, not color managed, CMYK output and leave unchanged ... every combination I could think of). ID does something on printer output. My understanding (at least from CS2) was that ID output to printer uses a PDF format of some sort. I had the idea maybe the ID output did some sort of resampling or re-rendering of the image, but have not prooved that out. I did get some slight improvement in the ID output when the image in the ID layout was put in at 100% (whereas it had been 88% (the original image being bigger than the ID layout size). What I am getting now in CS3 is a clean looking photo in PS, but in ID, skin tones look somewhat blotchy and a bit more saturated. The PS image is better than ID, and while ID is not bad, why is it not as clean as PS? I can definitely see the difference between PS and ID output and know it will show on press, too. Any suggestions?

Color match when printing problem

I have Snow Leopard, and I am having trouble getting blue to match when printing from Office. Can anyone help? I am running 10.6.8.

The colours set as defaults in Office 2008 and 2011 are often difficult for laser printers to reproduce, compared to ink-based printers. For either style of printer you could look at the Color Matching setting in the print dialog or even check the driver options to see if there is something you can adjust colours with.

how to print to my wireless all in one photosmart prem c410 when printer is not powered on?

Hi,
You cant print to a printer that you physicly turned off. Most network printer have a sleep mode, so leave it on and after a while it should go into a sleepmode. And should wake up when a printjob is being sent.

HT4356 I have an air-print enabled printer: HP Premium e-all-in-one C310. Can't print from iPad iOS6. They're on the same network, but have different IP addresses. On the iPad it's 192.16.1.126 and on my printer it's 192.168.1.133. Can I match them? H

I can't print from my iPad2 to my air-print enabled printer (HP Premium e-all-in-one C310). They're on the same network, but have differed IP addresses! The iPad IP is 192-168-1.126 and the printer is 192-168.1.133. That's the only difference I can see. Is there a way to fix this?

fyi:
you put periods between the numbers.
Each device needs a unique number.
for the 192.168.1 the right must number should vary. 192.168.1.x
the numbers you have look ok.
Power off all devices: wifi router, printer, ipad.. wait 10 minutes. poweron router ... wait power on printer wait then power on ipad.
cross fingers.

Iphoto 08 Will not print 4x6 borderless prints to HP 3210xi All In One

Hi Folks,
I've just installed Iphoto 08 and upgraded to the latest version 7.1.2. I've also just installed the latest HP 9.7 Mac drivers released to support 10.5.2 on 2/4/08. However I can not get Iphoto 08 to print 4x6 borderless prints to my HP 3210xi All In One Photo Smart printer.
I'd appreciate any feedback/suggestions from anyone who is able to get Iphoto 08 to print properly.
Jim

Jim:
I don't have an solution but this printing problem with HD all in ones has been discussed many times. Do a search in this forum for HP All In One or HP 3210xi or other similar search terms and you'll find the various threads where it is discussed. I don't remember if a solution was found in any of them as I don't have an HP and didn't pay much attention.
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.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How to print to HP PSC1110 All-In-One Printer connected to WinXP PC?

Hello everybody,
I would like to us an HP PSC1110 "all-in-one" printer connected to a Windows PC in another room.
The easy part: The printer shows up in the browsing window, under the correct Windows domain, when I try to add an "other Printer" device.
The difficult part: When I try to select the printer model from the list of HP printer models provided, it does not show up, although HP PSC 1110 is included in the list of supported printers.
I also tried the ESP HP-deskjet drivers, both old and new version. But those result in printer errors on the Windows PC.
BTW: Printing over the net works well from other Windows PCs!
Can somebody out there who had a similar problem before give me a hint how to set up printing to an HP "all-in-one" over the Windows-Network?
Thank you,
Detlef

Thank you for the detailed information. Maybe I should have added a few screenshots too.
The suggested procedure probably works for a HP Photosmart Printer. However, the PSC1110 is a "Printer, Scanner, Copier" all-in-one device. Unfortunately, this one does not show up in the menus, although it is supposed to be supported. I assume that only an USB backend is available, but no SMB backend.
Is this correct? Is there a workaround?
Thank you for your feedback

My printer, hp photosmart c4200 all-in-one is stuck in scan mode

My HP printer--HP Photosmart C4200 All-in-One is stuck in scan mode. I have tried holding start button 60 sec, unplug from power supply, hold while I plug back in with no luck.

Hi @Bungybill,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you cannot copy or scan with your HP Photosmart 3110 on Mac. I am happy to help!
For further assistance, I will need to know:
The version number of the Mac Operating System. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
If you make a copy, and lift the lid, do you see a light come on and the scanner bar move?
Hope to hear from you soon!

HP Printer Driver Photosmart C4480 All-in-One printer

I recently upgraded my MacBook Pro, Retina, 13 inch, Late 2013, 2.4 GZ Intel Core i5, 4Gb 1600 Mhz DDR3, 89.04 GB free of 120.11 GB
to OSX Yosemite (from Mavericks 10.9.5) . HP does not have a driver for my workhorse printer, HP Photosmart C4480 All-in-One. The HP website suggested I see if anyone could recommend a work around or reliable alternative download. Thanks in advance for your help.

This did not help. There was no change in the printing of any documents. I am using an HP Photosmart C4480 all in one printer. Every thing I print from any website when in Firefox as my browser prints this way. Thanks, Gene

My iPad does not recognize my printer (HP officejet 5510 All-in-One). What can I do?

The Photosmart 5510 is AirPrint capable. You can find that information linked below. There may be something in the network that is preventing communication. To use AirPrint your router needs to support Bonjour services. Run the download below. It will let you test Bonjour services from your Windows PC. If this app can't see the printer either, then the router's Bonjour services are off, or it does not support Bonjour. Let me know what the app finds. If it can't find the printer, let me know what brand and model router you have, and I'll see if it has Bonjour services at all.
