Disabling Color Capability on HP 2605dn

Hello,
Does anyone know how to disable the capability of my HP2605dn from printing in color?
Due to budget issues, or big-wigs have decided that they will NOT order replacement color cartridges for our printer.
If the color cartridges get too low, the printer will stop working, and we would like to prevent that by elimination the ability to print in color NOW !!!!

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem.
I printed only in B&W. At the same time, all the color cartridges are shown as empty, ALL TOGETHER, although I printed only in B&W.
I ordered new cartridges. The weight is nearly exactly the same: 642 g for the new one, 628 g for the old one. So I paid 50 € for 14 g of ink, it is nearly the price of gold!
I assume that the cartridge chip is disabling the cartridge after a given number of pages or number of days. However, it is a true robbery.

Disable color conversion when PDF export

how to disable color conversion in my sample scritp?
pdfExportPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.add({
name:"sample preset",
pdfExportPreset.standardsCompliance = PDFXStandards.PDFX1A2001_STANDARD;

actualy, if you need PDF-X1A standard, it's not as much about the export preset as is about the workflow. PDF/X-1a requires all fonts need to be embedded and all images need to be CMYK or spot colors. So if you have RGB images, they will be converted to obey the standard.

DISABLING COLOR MANAGEMENT & PAPER SIZE

After some struggling and considerable surfing the internet, I managed to get my HP Deskjet printer output producing the proper colors.
However I still have an ongoing problem with paper size and orientation.
I have Photoshop Elements 7 running under Windows XP.
Under the current set up, under "Page Setup" in the print dialog box, I can select 6x4 borderless and landscape orientation, but the printer will still print it in portrait orientation on 8.5 x 11" paper. I have seen many times where I have selected "Landscape" in Photoshop but the image in the preview windows shows Portrait. Or the preview is oriented portrait but the picture within the preview is a cropped landscape version of the image. Or the preview picture is landscape but the landscape-portrait button shows portrait. Obviously there are portrait images and portrait printings, but Photoshop seems to get them confused and wants to print a landscape image in a portrait orientation.
If I hit "Print" and then go to "Preferences" in the Windows printer dialog box, if I select "landscape borderless 6x4", it will print a 6x4 image on letter sized paper, ignoring the orientation and paper size I selected. And if I re-enter the Windows printer dialog box, will show "letter" again as the current paper size, although I had not selected that previously.
I have "Photoshop Elements manages colors" selected, but then a warning message appears asking if I have disabled color management in the printer preferences dialog. I cannot find any way to disable color management in Windows XP or in Photoshop. (If this has anything to do with my problem.)
Help!

Disabling color management in canon driver

Hello
Can anyone tell me how to disable Color Management in the Printer Driver Dialogue Box for Canon (ip4000) printer?
Other AI CS4 users must have needed to do this, in accordance with the instructions in the Color management print window when printing in AICS4, as otherwise the colors just dont work when printing.
As most AI users will know the guidance says "Let Illustrator determine colors", and "dont forget to disable color management in printer driver dialogue box". How do you do that then?
I have no idea how to find the Canon printer driver dialogue box, and Canon did not seem to know what I was talking about when I phoned them - they said contact Apple or Adobe.
Grateful for any any advice.

I don't think it is stupid at all. Even home or small office printers nowadays have the capacity to turn their own colour management on and off. That does not necessarily result in implementing custom profiles though. It is just saying "don't try and match the colours by yourself" basically (although probably a bit more sophisticated in the driver's kitchen).
As for doing it on a Canon printer (make sure you follow the next steps with Illustrator closed so it can apply to all pictures you will print) :
- Open the Printing Preferences control panel of your printer,
- In the Color/Intensity section, select "Manual" and click on "Set...",
- Check that all colour adjustment sliders are at 0,
- Go to the "Matching" tab,
- In the "Color correction" drop box menu, select "None",
- Close all dialog boxes and you're done.
It has made a huge difference on my prints with a Canon ip3600 printer. They were way too reddish before, now they are as close as they can be to what I want - provided I don't have nor need any calibration hardware to make highly precise colour calibration end to end.

Enabled/Disabled color row Datagrid

Hi all,
I extend class Datagrid to draw rows depending a value.
package comp
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     import mx.controls.DataGrid;
     import mx.core.Application;
     public class DataGridEx extends DataGrid
          public var rowColorFunction:Function;
          public function DataGridEx()
               super();
          override protected function drawRowBackground(s:Sprite, rowIndex:int, y:Number, height:Number, color:uint, dataIndex:int):void
               if ( rowColorFunction != null && dataProvider != null ){
                    var item:Object;
                    if (dataIndex < dataProvider.length){
                         item = dataProvider[dataIndex];
                    if (item){
                         color = rowColorFunction(item,rowIndex,dataIndex,color);
               super.drawRowBackground(s,rowIndex,y,height,color,dataIndex);
In MXML i wrote this. My purpose is user could chosse if the rows are coloured or not.
          private function colorRow():void{
               if (colorRowByFile == false){
                    colorRowByFile = true;
               if (colorRowByFile == true){
                    colorRowByFile = false;
And finally the code of Datagrid and color:
public function calcRowColor(item:Object, rowIndex:int, dataIndex:int, color:uint):uint
               if(item.numFile == 1)
                    return 0x49FFAD;
               if(item.numFile == 2)
                    return 0x33CCFF;
               if(item.numFile == 3)
                    return 0xFFCC66;
               if(item.numFile == 4)
                    return 0xFFFF99;
               if(item.numFile == 5)
                    return 0xFF6633;
               if(item.numFile == 6)
                    return 0xFFCCCC;
               if(item.numFile == 7)
                    return 0x996600;
               if(item.numFile == 8)
                    return 0xCCFF99;
               else return 0xFFFFFF;
<comp:DataGridEx id="dg_events" width="100%" height="100%"
dataProvider="{eventList.eventCollection}"
rowColorFunction="calcRowColor">
<comp:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Nombre de evento" width="150"
dataField="name"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="ID" width="40"
dataField="eventId"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Propietario" width="120"
dataField="owner"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Fecha" width="70"
dataField="date"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Hora" width="55"
dataField="time"/>

<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Parámetros"
labelFunction="eventList.getParams"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Archivo" width="40"
dataField="numFile"/>
</comp:columns>
</comp:DataGridEx>
The problem is:
Initially the option are enabled so the rows are correctly coloured depending the value of column numFile. When user clicks to disabled colors, datagrid appears correct (with no color) but if we click again to recoloured row the datagrid still the same state (with no colour).
I dont know the reason.
Thanks in advanced.

PD: sorry for my english

Does your override of drawRowBackground get called? Maybe the DG doesn't think it is dirty. There are APIs like invalidateList() that might help

Hot to create color profile if I can't disable color management?

I have Canon PIXMA iP4600 printer. I wanted to create custom color profile for Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy paper, but I can't disable color management in the Print dialog. There are two options: SolorSync (and I have to pick some color profile I'd like to use), or Canon Color Matching. There is no way to disable color management.
I tried to create custom profile by choosing Canon Color Matching, but it turned out to be way worse than the original Canon profiles. Jeans in printouts are not denim blue but ultramarine! I suspect this is because profile target was printed with some color profile enabled.
I just thought maybe there are some "fake" printer profiles out there? Profiles which don't translate anything and what goes in, comes out 1:1? This way I could work-around this problem.
My problem is that in printouts I need little bit more more saturated greens and 4-7% less red component.

Hello Guntis,
As you have seen with the Canon iP driver, there is no function to disable color management, you either select ColorSync or Canon Color Matching.
When you select ColorSync, your output will use the default profiles assigned to the paper stocks for the Canon driver. If you wanted to see the Lab plot for that particular stock, open the ColorSync application and select the Profiles pane. If you then expand the Other entry you will see all the profiles for the default paper stocks for your iP4600 and their respective color gamuts.
If you then wanted to check which paper stock matched the code names, such as SP, MP and PR, you could select to print from an application and open the Color Matching menu. If you then set the option to ColorSync and leave the Profile set to Automatic, then open the Quality & Media menu and select Photo Paper Plus Glossy and then switch the menu back to Color Matching, you will notice that there will be writing under the Profile menu, stating the profile used - in this case SP2.
If these default values are not delivering the color output you want, then I suggest you set the Color Matching menu to Canon Color Matching and then use the Color Options menu to tweak the Magenta and Cyan values to boost the greens and reduce the reds.
Note that you should also set your application to let the printer manage the color.

Trouble creating personal url and disabling color management in the printer preference dialog

I just purchased a new Canon Pro 9000 MKII which came with a new copy of Photoshop Elements 8. I registered the software and created a username and password successfully, but I am unable to created a personal URL for starting an online gallery. I keep getting error messages everytime I try. One message is that name is taken and the other simply says there is an error.
Second problem is when I try to print from Edit in Photoshop Elements 8 there is a message that states: " did you remember to disable color management in the printer preference dialog?" It is unclear to me how this can be done.
Any help with these two issues would be greatly appreciated
Thank you.
DG

Log in to the web page and try some different characters e.g.
green_11david_Y1973.photoshop.com
In the print dialog you need to click More Options and choose printer manages color if you want to use your printer/paper profile.

How do i disable color managment Pro-100

This printer has been nothing but a headache and I'm not sure how others can get it to work...anyway. The problem is the color(specificly oranges and red). It's way off from the color on my monitor. So, I purchased a ColorMunki Dispaly and calibrated my monitor. That didn't help. Next I downloaded the Canon Print Studio Pro and when I access it through Photoshop CC, it (canon print studio) tells me the driver isn't installed for the printer....HOWEVER can print to the PRO-100 from every program on my Mac, so clearly the driver IS installed. Now I think I will try getting a custom ICC profile but in order to do that I need to disable the color management, but when I look for a radio button or some thing like that I end up just raising my blood pressure!
Can some one direct me on how I can disable color management in the PRO-100? Or if you could direct me on how to fix the color that would be great too but it seems to be much more complex issue.

See here and give this a try.

Need help in Disabling Color Management prior to Printing

I have PSE 10 on my MAC and need to find out how to disable color management in the printer preference catalog. Can't seem to find it.....

Click the "More Options" button at the bottom.
Select "Color Management" from the left side.
Change the Color Handling setting as desired.

How to disable color cartridges when printing black?

Is there a setting to disable color ink cartridges so that my printer prints black and white documents using only black? Selecting just "grayscale" or "black and white" doesn't stop the printer from using the color cartridge to "make" black. I know there's a setting somewhere in OSX to bypass using the color cartridge (I've done it before), but I just can't seem to find it now. Any thoughts?

I have not ever seen that option in System Preferences/Printing.
Are you quite sure that selecting Greyscale after selecting Quality & Media still requires the colour cartridges?
I ask this because I also have a Pixma (different model) which uses two different black cartridges, one standard size, the other twice as big, and I have always assumed that that is specifically to allow black-only printing.
But if it, for reasons known only to Canon and God, also needs the colour cartridges, it can't be much!

Disable color management photosmart c5280

I need to disable color management on my c5280 but can find no option to do as such. Does anyone know how to disable it?

I have the same printer and the same problem. I have read in the printer helps that it is not necessary to disable color management. If a program like PS is configured to manage colors, the printer will not use their own profile. But, if you are unsatisfied for the color in printed pictures, is possible your monitor improperly calibrated. Try it fist of all.
In case you see that don't work, or want to be really sure the printer color management is not interfering your work, try to delete the color profiles in the printer set up (it is a reversible operation).
For that you have to open the control panel (or printers folder), go to printers, select HP C5280, right click and select "properties", then select "Color Management" tab. Then you can see a button named "Color management...". Click it and you will see a window with some fields and check boxes.
The first field allows you to select the device: select "HP C5280". Below, you have a check box with the text " Use my set up in this device", check it. Below that you have another field for "Select Profile". Select "Manual" (it is probably in "Automatic" the first time). Then in the bigger space below every thing, you can see the profiles. Delete all the profiles (simply click over one and then press Del key). Close the window and that's all.
Later, you can add the deleted profiles using the button "Add profiles" and revert everything.

Change the 'disabled color text' of JCheckBox and JRadioButton

With a JTextComponent item, you can change the disabled color text with :
item.setDisabledTextColor(Color.blue);
But with a JToggleButton item (JCheckBox, JRadioButton) I can't change the disabled color of its text .
Does anyone have an idea about what I can do ??
Thanks a lot
ps: disabled doesn't mean deselected

Try to set the color of disabled text with the same background color.

Disabled color change...

Hello everybody,
this is my first comment here because for all other problems I found solution without registration
Anyway I was looking how to disabled color change (just some part of sentence) which should be highlighted, example is right here (it's part of topics in rpg game):
Tell me some rumours
I killed the dragon (quest)
Goodbye
In the init. state text "I killed the dragon" is black and text "(quest)" is yellow. Highlight color is red :
mc_Topics.mc_topic0.tField.textColor = 0xb21d22; // init. state highlight first topic
Now if I want highlight sentence with "(quest)" it's make this (simple) :
mc_Topics["mc_topic" + Index].tField.textColor = 0xb21d22;
but it will highlight of course all sentence by red color even if I want to quest word stay yellow.
I know I can make it somehow like this for highlight :
mc_Topics["mc_topic" + index].tField.html = true;
mc_Topics["mc_topic" + index].tField.htmlText = lowerCase + "<FONT COLOR = '#695f49'><FONT SIZE = '24'>" + quest + "</FONT></FONT>";
But problem is that in function where I'm setting highlight I dont know variables for text (lowerCase) and quest (there can different text).
Thanks for any suggestion : )
Adam

Yes you right I didn't realize that I can still get them from array. It's little complicated as it is time-input from game anyway it seems that it's solution. Thanks
