HP photosmart pro B9180 win xp no recent changes prior to problem...question is how to get quality color from this printer, the color blue prints lavender, I am using correct ink and hp advanced paper

Hard Reset – While printer is powered ON, pull
the power cord from the printer then from the
wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to wall
and printer. This will trigger a ‘dirty power up’
and restore the printer to a known good
condition (if it is possible). No user settings are
lost with a ‘hard reset’.
This ‘Hard Reset’ is one of the most powerful
tools to use when the printer hardware is not
functioning properly!

  • Printing Success with Aperture 1.5.2 and HP Photosmart Pro B9180

    With so many "hit-and-miss" posts regarding printing, I thought I'd post my result with Aperture 1.5.2 and my newly-acquired HP Photosmart Pro B9180.
    Firstly, I have my monitor calibrated using ColorVision's Spyder Express. It's a cost-effective solution to monitor calibration and what I see on the screen is what I'm seeing in the print. I calibrate weekly.
    Secondly, I'm using HP's Advanced Photo Glossy Paper for prints. HP provides the ICC profiles for their papers (and thus far, they seem to be dead-on accurate).
    Thirdly, and I believe this is where issues can occur, is to set, via the Print Driver, color management as Application Managed. This bypasses the default of allowing the printer to manage color for you. This allows Aperture to use the ICC profile of the printer and calculate the proper color "conversion".
    Finally, via the Apple's support article on optiziming print (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302821) save the customized printer setup for a specified print size, paper, etc.
    I have made 20 prints thus far and all have come out satisfactory. The only "tip" I'd make is that I noticed the gamma setting in the print dialogue is ideally set at 1.15. Otherwise, the print seems to be a bit dark.

    I just got a B9180 too so thought I would try printing from Aperture. As you suggested I set Gamma to 1.15 - but I still feel the prints are a bit dark. Tried 1.20 but that looked identical to 1.15!

  • Anyone printing with HP Photosmart Pro B9180?

    Has anyone been successfully printing with their HP Photosmart Pro B9180 after upgrading to Leopard? I am considering buying one of these printers but only if I am sure that it will work with Leopard as a network printer.
    Thanks for any comments.

    I haven't printed a lot yet, but have run a few test prints on my B9180 under Leopard and have been getting very good results, comparable to those I got printing under Tiger.
    So far my tests have been restricted to printing from Adobe Lightroom and onto HP Advanced Glossy paper, but I haven't seen any problems yet. I hope to be trying some other papers and applications over the next few days.
    Note: The print dialog has been completely reorganized under Leopard, and some of the options you need to adjust to get good prints have been relocated to places that aren't obvious, so it pays to poke around.
    Jim,
    Did your monitor appear any different after installing Leopard?
    I did manage to pick my way through the new dialog boxes and found everything that I needed but the color is bad.

  • I have faint but noticeable horizontal lines on prints from my Photosmart Pro B9180.

    When printing grey scale pictures on my Photosmart Pro B9180, I can see faint horizontal lines not quite 1/4 apart.  I have aligned the heads and cleaned them 3 times and the lines remain.  The Head analysis indicates that three of my heads are in fair condition and one is in good condition.  I also notice when the print out after head cleaning is on glossy paper that multiple lines appear in virtually all the color swatches.  I have not received a "replace printhead" message, but I'm beginning to thing that is the next step.  Any insights?

    This document may help. I have a feeling the manual cleaning section may be applicable:
    Banding, streaks or lines

  • HP Photosmart Pro B9180 Printing Blank Sheets

    I have a HP Photosmart Pro B9180 printer. I joined two scanned images into one photo and saved it as a .tif file. I then resized it to 8x10 and it printed fine. When I resized it again to print it as an 12x16 on 13x19 paper, the printer will only spit out blank sheets. I took it to a mini lab and they couldn't print it either.
    Anybody have any ideas what might be wrong?

  • HP Photosmart Pro B9180 - Printing photos on Hi Gloss paper.

    I am a professional photographer and I have an application that requires perfect glossy prints.  When I compared the prints that are output of the B9180 to the prints I have done at the professional studio,  there is no comparison.  The professionally done prints are glossy no matter what angle you hold them or the direction of the light source.  The B9180 output has a different light absorption rate for each color.  If you view a print at an acute angle to the light source,  you can hardly make out the subject.  When I expressed my grief to the "offshore" HP technician,  he (or she) stated that the Pro B9180 was incapable of printing on the Hi Gloss paper.  When the technician's supervisor contacted me, she offered me $50 for my B9180  in trade for a less expensive model HP printer.  Is it true that there is a less expensive printer that will do a better job printing glossies? 
    The biggest question:  Is it possible to produce a print on any HP printer that will measure up to a glossy print produced by a professional lab?

    I just got a B9180 too so thought I would try printing from Aperture. As you suggested I set Gamma to 1.15 - but I still feel the prints are a bit dark. Tried 1.20 but that looked identical to 1.15!

  • Photosmart Pro B9180 printer

    I bought my first TI-55 calculator from HP in high school.  Since then I have purchased numerous calculators, printers, scanners, computers, iPAQ’s for home as well untold printers for my practice.  I have always thought that HP made good products and stood behind their products.  When my Photosmart Pro B9180 printer (MY66M1101V / Q5734A) required new ink cartridges last week, I ordered new ink cartridges and printheads from HP.  After I installed them, the printer cycled through its closed loop printhead calibration and allowed me to print one picture and the produced the error code “00C78475”.  I contacted HP service chat on 2/17 and was advised by Brooklyn S. that the code was a hardware error and that the best thing to do would be to replace the printer and that I could not get refunded for the cartridges and printheads I had just purchased from HP.  He offered to sell me a new printer which was not anything like this printer at a discount price that was identical to that printer’s price on Amazon.com.  He also offered to sell me a refurbished Photosmart Pro B9180 for $559.00.  He said he would refer the case to a case manager.  I have not heard back from a case manager.  I called HP support on 1/18/2011 and spoke with Manoja (reference # 804 770 0954).  He referred me to the ISB TEAM, HP, 11311 CHINDEN BLVD. BLD. #7, MAILSTOP 475, POST J3, Boise, Idaho 83714.  He said I might be able to return the unused cartridges and printheads to them but could not provide a phone number or further contact information for the ISB-Team.   I would like a solution that allows me to print archival photos.  If there is no way to make this printer work again, I would like to return the opened but unused cartridges for a credit or a refund if possible. 

    Hi Photo3
    I know your post was made a number of months ago but I see that no one has replied to it. Has this issue now been resolved?

  • Best way to remove the color blue from this?

    Trying RGB Curves and Three-Way Color Corrector, but I can't seem to remove the color blue from the cutting tool in the screenshot.
    In photoshop, I could use hue / saturation and adjust only the blues, is that an option in Premiere?

    I've had good luck with Change Color in Premiere Pro, as mention above:
    Go to the Effects Pane > Video Effects > Color Correction > Change Color and apply the Change Color effect to your clip.
    Use the eyedropper to select the color in the shot you want to modify, using Tolerance and Softness to help select the color.
    Then modify the color using the transform settings.

  • How do you change the color of the sign and fill text to the color blue

    How do you change the color of the sign and fill text to the color blue in a pdf document

    Is this using the "Fill & Sign" tab of https://cloud.acrobat.com/fillsign (for now text input is only black) or maybe using the Fill & Sign tool in Adobe Reader XI, or another application? 
    Thanks,

  • When viewing the color blue on my iPad it appears greenhe correct color appears on my computer screen. Can this be resolved?

    When viewing the color blue on my iPad it appears greenhe correct color appears on my computer screen. Can this be resolved?

    Try this:
    Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
    (no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
    If that doesn't work then backup and then restore the device as new.
    And if none of that works, take it to an apple store or call apple support

  • Does the macbook pro have the capacity to print direct to blank cd?

    does the macbook pro have the capacity to print directly to blank cd?  If not- can you suggest an add-on product that will work with the mac pro?

    Unless you have a printer that can feed and print on a physical CD then you cannot. This isn't a function of the computer. Printers can usually print onto labels of any sort, but not directly onto the disc itself.

  • What is the best wireless printer to use with an IPad Air and IPhone?

    What is the best wireless printer to use with an IPad Air and IPhone that will print both text and photos?  Also, is the separate keyboard available for the IPad Air, yet?

    Best is relative. Different people like different things. I have an epson that I like. I'd look through a site like Best Buy and compare reviews for Air Print enabled printers.
    as to the keyboard, I know Zagg has one and I think there are other manufacturers that have keyboards for the Air. As far as I know, pretty much any bluetooth keyboard will work, but if you want a case then you'd need to get a specific one.
