EPSON printer update v2.3.1: color controls now dimmed @ print dialog box

I have lost the ability to control color in the Print/Print Settings dialog box after this update. The Ink tab is dimmed and set to "Color," the Color Settings tab is also dimmed and set to "Off (No Color Adjustment)," and the Advanced tab brings up only information about the Colorsync profile. The graphic file (Photohop) I'm printing from is a grayscale file.
There is no difference in the Print dialog box between having Photoshop manage the colors or having the Printer do it.
My concern is that the printer will now be consuming color ink, but the actual prints appear to be using only the matte black.
Anybody else run into this? Should I be concerned?
Thanks

From PHOTOSHOP (CS4) In the printer driver menu, the COLOR MATCHING pulldown shows the choices are grayed out. But go to the PRINT SETTINGS pulldown. There you should be able to select BLACK/COLOR Ink, color settings if appropriate (VIVID etc)...
Apparently not all programs gray out the COLOR MATCHING boxes - a demoed a RIP that does not do this but it has other issues (ImageNext2.1).
Also CS4 has the ability to completely disable color management (used for printer profiling), but some apps cannot do this with this driver (ImageNest2.1, DataColor Spyder3Print)

How do I set the FireFox browser to be compatible with my Brother MFC-8840D printer so it will translate color into grayscale when printing from a webpage?

Hi, I have a question about setting the FireFox browser so it is compatible with my Brother MFC-8840D printer to print in grayscale. Currently, if I print anything in color, like a Google Map, the colored parts of the map show up blank, whereas the color should change to grayscale in a black/white laser printer. Brother tech support told me to contact Mozilla about this issue.
In comparison, when I print a Google Map on my dad's HP printer (also using FireFox browser), the color map prints perfectly in grayscale, so I can see all of the street lines.

How to print from iphone to hp color laserjet CM1017 MFP printer

How to print from iphone to hp color laserjet CM1017 MFP printer

In order to AirPrint from your iPad/iPhone, here's all you need to do:
1. Make sure the printer and iPad/iPhone are connected to the same local network.
2. Open something you want to print (on the iPad/iPhone).
3. On the iPad/iPhone, tap the "Action" button (arrow curving out of a box).
4. Tap "Print".
If you have any issues with printing, below are some steps that should help you out!
1. Power off the printer.
2. Completely power off the iOS devices (hold the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until a message appears asking you to "Slide to power off". Slide across that bar, and it should completely power off).
3. Power the printer back on.
4. Power the iOS devices back on.
5. Try to print again.
Those steps usually resolve the issue. If they do not, try this additional steps:
6. Power cycle your router (usually done by unplugging the router’s power cord, waiting 20 seconds, and plugging it back in).
7. Make sure that the iOS devices and the printer are all connected to the same network, then try to print.

Controls become inactive while dialog box is active

Hello Experts,
I am trying to create two pop-up windows appearing one after another when my program starts. I used two button and single button dialog box. However, while the dialog box is active on the screen, I cannot modify the controls on my VI. Is there any way, I get modify the control while the dialog box is active? May be my approach is wrong, please direct to any relevant post/article on this topic.
Let me know if you need any specific information.

Dialog boxes are modal. That means that they are in front of all other windows and no access to those other windows is possible until the modal window is closed.
If you cannot tolerate modal windows, then create your own dialog boxes using subVIs which open when called and then close afterwards. You can make them look like the modal boxes but they can be moved behind other windows. Of course they can also get lost back there. Keep that in mind if the response from those dialogs is required before some other part of the program can continue.

Upgraded to Mavericks and Epson scanner software was quarantined.Powered on the scanner, plugged in the USB, clicked Software Update, and clicked Update for the Epson printer software. Update occurred by I chose "not now" to a dialog and it didn't install

Hi, upgraded to Mavericks and Epson scanner software was quarantined. Powered on the scanner, plugged in the USB, clicked Software Update, and an Epson Printer Software Update appeared in the App Store Updatees area. Clicked Update for the Epson printer software. During the download, I was presented with a dialog asking me if I wanted the software to be automatically installed. I chose the "not now" option and as far as the App Store in concerned the software was installed, but it has not been. Where did this go to and how can I force it to install? Or is there some way to force the App Store to go through the download process again. Many thanks! Joseph

Acrobat 9.5.3/4 update caused distiller to crash, and now cannot print to PDF

We have a TON of computers that have Acrobat 9 Pro. They have been running fine, however today I got a ton of calls about not being able to print to PDF.
When you try distiller crashes with:
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022).
This is occurring on anyone who is up to date on patches.
And old computer that was on Acrobat 9 works, updated to 9.2, worked, updated to 9.5.3 = Busted as noted above.
I cant seem to find how to uninstall that patch, and I don't want to uninstall 50 copies and re-install.....
HELP PLEASE!~!!!

Hmm. Never seen this before, and Google has no hits in connection with Distiller. But there are many google hits on this error.
All of them seem to relate to permissions on EXE or DLL files. I guess the first and simplest thing is to ensure that these users have read permission on every file in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat folder.
But it need not be these files. It could be a system DLL (perhaps the patch makes Distiller start to use a system DLL for the first time). There are a number of tools (e.g. DEPENDS.EXE) which can trace DLL dependencies for an EXE.

Control position of popup dialog box

Hi,
Is there a better method of positioning a popup dialog below a string control? - see attached (run parent.vi)
Can I obtain a Pane ref and a VI ref given a string control reference? so that I only need to pass the string ref
thanks

If your VI has multiple panes (or just to be prepared), you can find, here a VI that returns the pane of a control.

Updated firefox wants to use an uninstalled font for dialog boxes, how to change the font?

I'm running Redhat and I just upgraded firefox from 3.0 to 17. Webpages display correctly, but the menu options and dialog boxes are empty boxes. I need to either install the font it's looking for, in which case I need to know what font it's trying to use, or tell it to use a different font. I can't read the preferences menu, either. My older version displays just fine; is there a preferences file I can copy to the new directory to fix it?

This is what the preferences menu looks like. I have tried selected various fonts that I can read, but it doesn't change what's used in the menus.

EPSON Stylus Color 1160 changing default print quality under 10.4

Greetings.
I have the above printer and since Epson no longer produces a driver that will function under 10.4 I am using the Gimp driver. Which works fine.
The printer is connected to our server and so functions as a ‘shared printer’ in the network. The server runs 10.4.8.
However I would like to tweak the default settings for all users.
One of the things we use this printer for is to make drafts for checking text or layouts. The default setting is for an excellent print quality. I would like to change this to a lower resolution (saves ink > saves money > saves planet > reduces carbon footprint, ;-)))
Anybody knows how to do this?
Thanks

Greg good morning,
It did solve it partly. Here is what I have now. If printing directly from the computer the printer is connected from now is no problem, the settings have changed.
However as this is my server (the Epson is connected to it via USB) printing from the other machines have not changed the standard dialog box.
When I try access the Epson setup via http://127.0.0.1:631/printers on the individual computers I get:
Forbidden. You don't have permission to access the resource on this server. <</div>
Any suggestions as to how to solve this so I have there also the standard box changed? Reason is of course that on the individual computers the dialog is generated locally and their settings are following the standard rule than send to the printer, bypassing the setting of the printer. So question is, how to get in to this dialogue?

Color does not match printing in preview

Printing a photo directly from iPhoto ('08) does not match the color on screen. Using an Epson 2200.
The colors are dark and saturated. Maybe the problem is setting color management in the advanced dialog box- I have it set to: "No Color Adjustment" as per Epson.
Is there a setting that is recommended? I can't find any help in help.
I'm well aware of color management problems printing via Photoshop with the Epson printer.

Hi McJPP,
You're using one of the built in color setups for Photoshop, so no big deal there. Since you have your monitor properly calibrated and profiled, ColorSync shouldn't be having an issue handling the difference between the image's color space and your monitor's. Questions though. Is the image RGB? Does it have an embedded profile? If so, is it Adobe RGB 1998? I'm assuming that it does since that's your working RGB color space in Photoshop.
The grab on the left is the preview copy using:
By preview, do you mean the Preview button on the print dialogue box at the bottom left next the the PDF button? I'm guessing yes since I can produce the same kind of result. It's a bit hard to explain, but I'll try.
I took a simple grayscale image and made it RGB. I then did the same thing you did. Left image is Photoshop handling color for an Epson Stylus Pro 4000, using a profile I made for a DuPont paper. Then clicking the Preview button when the print dialogue comes up. Right image is letting the printer handle color and clicking Preview. The result is below.
Believe it or not, there's nothing wrong. Photoshop (more accurately, ColorSync) is showing you what it had to do to the pixel color values to adjust for how the inks perform on the chosen paper. The end result, with proper profiles, is that the printed image looks like what you see in Photoshop regardless of how it shows in Preview mode. The Epson driver doesn't make this visible cue even though you've turned ColorSync on there, so it simply shows you the same thing you see in Photoshop, even though it's making the same adjustment to the pixel color values.
You should get essentially the same final output no matter which way you print the image.

Changing color management options for printing not possible

I got a problem with Leopard and a Canon i9950 printer. When I choose "Color Matching" from the "print options" pop-up menu, I cannot select "Color Sync" or "In Printer". "Color Sync" is selected, but both options are greyed out and not changeable. So it`s not possible to do a printer color calibration. With Tiger everything worked fine with that printer.

Are you seeing this is all applications or perhaps just in Photoshop or Aperature?

HT3669 I updated my lexmark driver and now my printer won't print.

I updated to V2.8 yesterday and now my printer does not work.... Does anyone else have this issue????

Thanks but I tried all that. I ended up installing an older driver and now my printer is working just fine.......

Colors don't accurately print.

I am using Lightroom 5 with an HP 6510 printer. I run everything with an iMac 10.7.5. My ink cartridges are full. Whenever I go to print the colors are all shifted to the green.
Color printing works fine with other products like MSFT PowerPoint.
There seems to be an incompatibility between Lightroom 5 and my HP printer.
Any ideas?

I wonder if this could be a color management problem. I use a different HP printer, and I cannot disable color management on the printer. So I always have to disable color management in Lightroom. If both the printer and Lightroom are trying to manage the color it can cause the problem you are experiencing.

Firefox 5.0 won't print web page - no dialog box

After updating to FF 5.0, I can no longer print using File>Print (or Control+P). No dialog box comes up, no error message - just nothing. My printer is an HP Deskjet D4260 and it prints fine from Internet Explorer or from files saved to my computer.
I tried a couple "fixes", including disabling HP Smart Web Printing and resetting the print.print_printer file from about:config. Neither option worked. Please help!
Thanks!

Is Fixed! Someone suggested clearing the Firefox cache 9 (Preferences / Advanced / Network / Clear Now) and and after doing this now we can stream on the YouTube site as normal.
