HP Deskjet D4160 can't print color when connected to express.

When I connect my Air to my HP Deskjet D4160, I can print in color. When I connect it to my Airport Express running the 6.3 software, it shows up fine in the printer tab, and I can add it correctly to my Air in the system prefs (it also finds the correct driver in 10.5.5), but when I print color it just comes out grayscale.
Any ideas?

All I can suggest at this point is to check with HP to make sure you have the latest drivers available for your printer.
Not all printers are compatible with the USB port on the Express, especially lower priced printers which are often designed to only work if they are attached directly to a computer.

HP Deskjet D1520 (can't print)

First thanks for read my question. So my problem is that I can't print wireless from my Airport Express and the HP Deskjet D1520. I have th drives needed, Airport recognized it and I add it in the Print & Fax System Preference but when I try to print from TextEdit.app it starts to connect but it never connects. In the past I have print wireless from a Lexmark Z600
Airport Express
Version: 7.4.2

Can not print report when using HTML or DHTML

Can not print report when using HTML or DHTML. When I open the report and click the print icon I get a small blank dialog box and then nothing. If I change to activex it works and I can print.
Any Ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
I did not come across this situation before. Did you apply any fix packs. Try to check whether its a issue which can be fixed by applying fix pack( try to check release notes of fix pack and see if they mentioned any thing about this).
Thanks,
SK.

I can't print. When I go to file-print, nothing happens. My printer is working just fine with IE and everything else.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Can't print duplex when using a CS2 doc in CS3

I can't print duplex when opening an old cs2 file in cs3, even when re-saving as a cs3 file. I can print duplex when creating a new document in cs3. The printer is a Xerox 242 Fiery. Any ideas?

I have the same problem with a DocuColor 5065 with firey. InDesign will never remeber the print settings for old CS 1 documents. New CS3 documents are fine. Only happens with this Fiery, all my other fierys work fine. Funny thing is even older documents (v1.5) remeber the print settings fine.
What I do to get around is to just send the file to the RIP, then change the print settings there to what I want then print.

My Deskjet 1510 can't print powerpoint slide at the centre of A4 paper, even after I change both the slide dimension and the paper size in printer preference (advanced) to A4. Please help.

Is the print quality good with other applications, such as Word?

Can you update apps when connected to itunes on laptop?

can you update apps when connected to itunes on laptop?

Yes. You can download the updates to the apps in iTunes and then sync them to the iPad while the iPad is connected to your computer. I did that last night because I had so many large app updates to do - apps that were 250MB up to 650MB in size - and it just made more sense to me to do it that way.

Can't print color in Excel Spread sheets on a HP 2605dn

We are using a PCL 6 driver. Other types of files print color ok. No Excel files will print color on the HP 2605dn printers. The same files will print on other model printers. We have changed all of the various color settings in the printer Properties. Window XP SP2. MS Office XP. Any ideas will be appreciated.

Hi,
Based on its manual (document c03026243.pdf, pp 164, 165 & 166) you can't use tray 2 to print envelopes, you can ONLY use tray #1.
Hope this answers your question.

Print shop can't print color correctly.

Hi there,
I work at a print shop and occasionally run into problems with documents being difficult to print, but this one is especially troubling. Out print shop does not have Photoshop but rather "Photo Impact..." I know, don't get me started. The issue is that I have a particular customer how did some designing in Photoshop CS4 (CS something) and it looks beautiful on his macbook but different on our PC (no matter what program we use to open any of his files- TIFF, PNG, JPG, etc). When printing to our Xerox Docucolor 252 the color is real dark and way less vivid/bright.
I tried the file on my home computer (PC with CS4) and it again looks great. When I print it on my home printer (Canon ip6700d) the printed colors are much closer to the screen even though I get an error telling me the printer is a non-postscript printer and so it will ignore some of the document properties. This leads me to believe that since the Xerox is a postscript enabled (I think) printer it is using data I know nothing about to darken and dirty the image. This is way outside of my knowledge and I would love to figure this out.
We have tried converting the image both to CMYK and RGB and have played around with the different color profiles, sRGB, Adobe RGBxxx etc. with very suble changes but nothing acceptable. I think we are to the point where the customer would be ok to start from scratch but if he doesn't know what to do differently I think we'll be right back here again.
Any suggestions? I'm frustrated and desperate to figure this out!
Thank for any ideas,
-Stephen

WorkCentre 7535 can't print color

Hi, just installed Xerox Global Print Driver PCL6 version 5.433.6.0N, and we're unable to print color now. When I go to "Image Options" tab under Printing Preferences, my only option there is "Xerox Black and White Conversion". But whether I have it checked or unchecked, the document still prints black and white. Any suggestions?

Make sure the driver correctly identified the device: Also check in CWIS that BW is not set as a default, as that option often has a compatibility issue that makes it a "Policy" as in many drivers will no longer honor color settings at all when enabled.

Can't print color seps anymore...

After updating to CS5, I now do not have the "color separation" option in ouput options. It will only print composite. Any idea how to fix so that I can print color sep's in Illustrator and what changed?

Have you installed (and selected) the correct printer driver?

Can't print color jewel case inserts anymore

I've noticed that with the last two updates of iTunes I can't print CD jewel case inserts in color anymore (The "Mosaic", "White Mosaic", and "Single Cover" choices are supposed to print in full color (and always have until recently) - they print in black and white now). I can still print in color in every other application (Safari, Pages, etc.)

I have exactly the same issue. Does anyone have a fix?

Can't print color to HP Photosmart 7520 from MacbookPro

I have been unable to print color to my HP printer from my Macbook Pro. All prints come out in black and white regardless of what program they are printed from. It it not a printer problem as I am able to print from my iPad in color. Running OS X 10.6.8. Any ideas?

Have you checked out all of the settings on the printer to make sure that you don't, somewhere, have Print as Grayscale ticked? I know that's an option for my Canon and I have several printer settings setup to print in grayscale on a variety of media and sizes.
Simple things first...
