I can't print background colors

I have tested every combination of checks in the colors section of options in tools. There are puzzles I like to print out. Without background color they are not useful. I have to go to Internet Explorer for this purpose where this is no problem.

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth? Are there any error messages on the printer or computer screen? What program are you using for email?

[SOLVED]Can't set background color for Knotes

Today I'm testing KDE 4.9.5 and the app Knotes start well, can add new notes, save them, etc, but it is not changing the background color of the notes...
Here's the app log:

I'm googling but can not find anything concrete
Any help?
Thank in advance
EDIT:
It was my mistake, the truth is that this application can change the background color, but does so in a cumbersome way.
Each note can change the background color (individually) and to make it globally, you must remove all existing notes and the new notes then take the chosen color :S ...anyway.... issue solved

It is probably more likely that your imported pictures are just covering the background of the button.
A picture ring is the better way to go anyways.

How can i control background colors with items (registry.dat)

Hello Evry one.....
plzzzzzzzzz help.
how can i control background colors with display items
in registry.dat
like app.ui.requiredFieldvABGCOLOR=255.0.0
how can i control background colors with others items ????
thanks.

The iPhone has a "remote" app that lets you control Keynote on a Mac, but not on another iOS device (iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch).
There are some apps that let you control limited content on another iOS device - but the content has to be within the app. You might check out SyncPad - perhaps you can import the presentation into it and then control it on the iPad.

Can't print in color from new iMac running 10.10

I recently purchased a new iMac to replace my 10 year old machine. Its great. However, I can't print in color to my HP Photosmart 7510 all in one. Its not the printer because I printed a test page from the printer and it was color. I have tried to print from iPhoto and Creative Cloud Photoshop CC. I left a post on the HP forum and also left a question on the HP support site and have gotten nothing. If anyone can help me with this, I will be grateful. Hope I don't also need a new printer. I uploaded the latest driver for the printer. Maybe that is the problem.
Thank you in advance. You guys on this site are awesome!

Hi,
When you print are you sure that you have print in color selected? if you do then try re-installing your printer. This video helped me.

Can't print in color

I have an HP Photosmart C4680 and I can't print in color! I haven't used the printer in probably 6 months and I just put in brand new cartridges. I can COPY in color but when I print, it comes out in black and white. I've unchecked "black and white" and "gray scale." I'm using a Mac computer.
Please help! Thanks!!

Hello colorprinter,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your Photosmart C4680 will not print in color ink. I will do my best to assist you! What is your operating system on your Mac computer? Click here to find out: Mac.
I would recommend printing a Quality Diagnostic Report on your printer to make sure the colors are printing correctly. Please follow this HP document on Troubleshooting Print-Quality Issues. I realize you successfully copied a document in color. If this page comes out perfect, then I would suggest uninstall/reinstall the software. As you stated you did uncheck the black and white/grayscale option.
Follow this HP document on Uninstalling the Printer Software. Now, you want to install the full feature software from the HP website here. Choose your correct operating system.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

Printing background color - NOT

I have someone who insists on sending me meeting minutes as email with a background color for the email. I'd like to turn off the background for printing, but can't figure how to do this.
If I ask the printer to print B&W I get a grey background. In any case I'm wasting a lot of ink for no added value. (color or black)
In Sys 9 I used to be able to ask the printer to just do B&W and no grey scale and would get this.
Any thoughts?
I'm using sys 10.3.9 and an Epson stylus color 740 with the default drivers from OS 10.
Thanks,
Ken

It sounds like they're sending you HTML email. Before you print it, you'll have to change the format to plain text in your email program. You can easily do this in Mail Preferences.

Print background color.

Dear all,
I am running Safari 4.0.2 in Vista and may I ask if anybody knows if there is setting in Safari that I can print a web page with background color??
Thanks very much.

Press the 'Print Screen' button. Then, open Paint and paste it on the white area. Save the image, and then print it.
I believe you're on a laptop? If so, the Print Screen button might be on another button. My laptop has the keyboard organised this way. I personally have to hold the 'Fn' button and then press 'Insert'.

How can I correct background color and graphics in Firefox?

For some reason some background color images and fonts do not appear in Firefox. Other browsers are mostly fine. I've tried most common fixes to no avail. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate.
I've attached two screenshots. One is Firefox viewing Google. The other one may be relevant because I can't change the color of fonts in Word and other Office docs.
Anyway, I'm stumped on the Firefox side. The browser has been uninstalled, re installed, and refreshed.

Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
*http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/turn-on-high-contrast
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.

How can I print without color?

How can I print without my color cartridge in my printer, I have a HP Deskjet 3510. I cant find only print in black in white in the setting on my printer.

Hi,
Actually we call it as Grayscale. But Grayscale is a mixture of all colors. If you only wish to print Black & White only, you need to set "Black Ink only" as default. Please try:
The setup may vary from printer to printer but basically (for Windows):
(a) Double click printer icon on desktop,
(b) Click Set Preferences,
(c) Click Advanced,
(d) Select "Black Ink only" for Print in Grayscale
(e) Click Ok/Apply ...
Regards.

HP officejet Pro 8000 Can't print when color cart is empty enven when printing in grey scale

I do not use color in my printing. Nonetheless when the printer says my color cartdridge is empty I can not print. I spent a $100 on color cartdridge and never used them. They now show empy and I can't print. Is there a work around or should I just junk this printer. Thanks for your help.
Bob

Hello Bobmcclammy,
I can understand the frustration when the printer, in your case the Officejet Pro 8000, stops and tells you to change inks you are not even using. I too have fought with this in the past. Unfortunately, there is no "work around" for such an issue, at least that I have been able to find.
Even when printing black text only, for example, a resume, the printer will be using a subtle amount of color as a base. Printhead maintenance also will chip away at the ink, this is to ensure the ink is not drying up within the print system. This information will explain more: Ink Usage in Inkjet Printers.
What I have done in order to get the most out of the printer ink is, set the printer in a black only grey scale mode. This needs to be set in the printing preferences in the print driver installed on the computer.
The inks will still need to be replaced, but it should help for the future.

Can't print in color from iPhoto

When I try to print a photo from iPhoto, using my color printer, I get a black & white print (not even greyscale). I can print in color from other applications, just not from iPhoto (but I think I used to print in color from iPhoto). Any clues out there?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again. Next, remove the printer from the Print and Fax preference pane and reinstall. Also, depending on your printer brand, check the Apple Downloads page for the new printer drivers offered by Apple. Those might help.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
