I'm having problems printing on a Konica Minolta C224 printer

Sometimes when I send CAD files to the BizHub C224 printer the image prints very small almost postage stamp size.  It does not happen all of the time.  Some days I can restart my computer and it seems to work for a while.

    Hi voltric2014,
    If you are on Windows, you can download and install the CreatePDF Desktop Printer, which would allow you to "print" to PDF from Word. You'll find a link to the installer on the CreatePDF page at https://cloud.acrobat.com. Here are the instructions for installing it: Using Adobe PDF Pack

  • How do I set up a booklet to print with my Konica Minolta?

    how do I set up a booklet to print with my Konica Minolta?

    Is it a BizHub? If so, use the booklet printing from the Koncia driver.
    If it's like the one I have, click the Printer button at the bottom of InDesign's print dialog, then choose Layout/Finish from the drop down menu, and booklet from there.
    One thing to note: with this method, leave your paper size the same as one page of your document.

  • I have a HP 6310 Printer and I am having problems with it. It has started printing only portions. Of

    Hello
    My HP 6210 is not printing properly. It appears to be a software problem not an ink cartridge problem. It will print parts of a document and skip other parts, leaving a document that looks as if some sections were left out purposely. The color of pictures is real screwed up. Overall, it prints in a light blue print. 

    Forget about HP software, it's in your best interest to totally uninstall it and use the tools available in OS X. The best place to get started is:

  • I am having problems connecting my imac to a Kodak printer wirelessly. This was previously working fine. The printer states it is connected to the home network but the connection between computer and printer has been lost/ cannot find printer.

    In addition, I contacted kodak support and they wished to take control of my computer in order to rectify the problem. I did not allow this as I was worried about security . Can anyone tell me whether once you allow someone to take control of your computer, then it is a security risk. What protection does my imac provide ? Thanks. 

    I think you can do it on a one time basis, & not allow after that.

  • Printing Tip for Konica Minolta Bizhub C550

    Hi all,
    I've been browsing the forums for the last week, as I just upgraded to Leopard at work. We use a Konica Minolta BizHub C550 for the vast majority of our printing jobs, and I found that I was having the problem others have described with the print queue inexplicably stalling repeatedly, with the job never getting printed. I'm up and running on our other 2 printers, a Magicolor 7450 and Canon iPF700.
    In any case, I have found a good workaround for the BizHub. I am using the printer drivers for the Xerox WorkCentre 7655 with good results. I can choose the correct paper sizes and settings, and don't seem to be having any color matching issues (yet). So I wanted to share this, as I didn't see it in the forums when I was initially freaking out about the situation. Our sales rep we lease the printer from has been communicating with KM all week, and they apparently have no clue when they'll be ready with 10.5 compatible drivers.

    Wow,
    I am not alone!!! I recently agreed to a lease of a C550. We have both Windows and Mac workstations and the performance is very poor in the Mac environment. The drivers are severely crippled.
    I have been working with my sales rep, a color specialist, and an application specialist from KM and all three of them have had the same problems when testing files. And no one has offered a resolution. I should I have stayed with Xerox.
    I have had the same problem as you described. As well as very bad color results. If I try to send a file in CMYK mode on the Mac workstation everything is extremely dark (Light Brown turns Black, etc.) The same file on the windows computer in CMYK is fine. Also, I have taken the same files to a Xerox dealer to compare. The files came out much more accurate (as close as can be expected for a color laser print). I have been in the design and printing industry for over 10 years and I have never been this disappointed. I am curious to see how things turn out and how many other Apple user are left behind with Konica Minolta Drivers.

  • Konica-Minolta Bizhub printing

    The company where I work recently (June this year) changed its printing system to one that they call ‘follow-me’ using an institution wide network of Konica-Minolta Bizhub printers (421 & C280). This allows employees to log on to and print from any printer rather than sending a print file to a specific one.
    This was set up on OS 10.6 via ‘Windows’ (smb://…). This initially asks for the username and password, which is then stored in the keychain and subsequently accessed automatically).
    The problem is that updating from Snow Leopard to Lion breaks the printing. Under 10.7, the ‘Windows’ (smb://…) option in the ‘Advanced’ pane of the ‘Add Printer’ dialogue has been replaced by ‘Windows printer via spoolss’ (which also leads to smb://…). Konica-Minolta have just (Oct 13) released updated drivers that claim 10.7 compatibility, but I still cannot get it to work. I assume that the old choice ‘Windows’ and the new one ‘Windows printer via spoolss’ are not the same thing, but I don’t know enough about it.
    Does anyone work in an institution/company that has adopted this printing system? If you use it with Lion, how is it set up? Or can anyone advise me on how I might change my setup to make it work?
    My institution are happy to advise employees to ‘stick with Snow Leopard’ presumably on the basis that ‘if it ain’t broke, leave us sleep’.
    Thanks
    Alasdair

    I have found a solution to this in another thread. Setting up the printer via CUPS  (Safari -> localhost:631) rather than through 'Print & Fax' in the System Preferences worked. I have no idea why, but it did.You can find the thread that helped here: Print to Windows Print server

  • Konica Minolta 2450 Printing Issues

    I recently installed an AirPort Extreme base station, to which I connected my Minolta 2450 color laser printer to via USB. Prior to this, the printer had been on Ethernet on the same subnet as all the other computers.
    When I set it up, the printer was recognized by my 20" Intel iMac and my Windows XP machine (using the Bonjour Printer Wizard.) I was able to print with no problem. Or so I thought. . .
    The next day I could not print from either machine. I went through the troubleshooting procedure on Apple's support Web site, and the printer once again worked.
    The next day, nada.
    It appears that if the printer is shut down, the connection with the AE is lost, and is not re-established when the printer is turned back on. If the AE is restarted, the printer works. Throughout all of this it shows up in the printer list on the AE utility as well as on both machines, despite it not printing.
    I am at a loss on this one. I don't have a port to put the printer back on ethernet, although it looks like I might not have a choice if I want it to be reliable. I woner if there is a configuration issue I need to address on the printer as far as the ethernet settings, as I understand Bonjour uses TCP/IP in some way.

  • AUR package for konica minolta laser printer (CUPS)

    Hi there,
    currently I'm writing a AUR package for the Konica Minolta Magicolor 5430 Desklaser.
    I have a question to put the ICC profiles files and special KM files to the cups tree.
    The Konica Minolta makefile put the binary "rstertokm5430" to the directory "/usr/lib/cups/filter/" which is completely correct but the *.ppd file and *.icm files are going by default to /usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc5430DL/Profiles (icm files) and to
    /usr/share/cups/model/KONICA_MINOLTA/km5430dl.ppd.gz (ppd file)
    The directory in my running archlinux is
    usrsharecupsmodel*.ppd and
    usrsharecupsprofiles*.icm
    Additionally there are "Halftones" files (*.bmp)
    usrshareKONICA_MINOLTAmc5430DLHalftones*.bmp
    I think about to put the Konica Minolta files in to this (new) directory tree:
    usrsharecupskm5430dlmodel*.ppd
    usrsharecupskm5430dlprofiles*.icm
    usrsharecupskm5430dlhalftones*.bmp
    How do I have to copy these files to be archlinux compliant ?
    best regards,
    Frank

    frigg, my apologies for overlooking an important point in my last post. The three magicolor drivers have different version numbers, unlike the other examples of multiple printer drivers in one PKGBUILD. This means you will need one PKGBUILD for each driver, in order to have the correct Arch version number. There is still value in doing them together, since they have many common elements.
    As a consequence of this change, I think it might be best to put the single PPD file in /usr/share/cups/model/, rather than have a directory with one ppd file in it.  It appears that the KM_PPDDIR variable in the configure script controls this location, so I have added a sed command to the build script accordingly.
    As another consequence, the package names need to be changed. I would suggest cups-mc2430dl, etc. This uses the short internal names used by the drivers, and Arch package names are supposed to be lower-case. This means that your awk script no longer works for all three drivers. Rather than write three different awk scripts, I have ported your directory change to a sed command.  When you package a stand-alone script with the PKGBUILD, you have to also maintain its md5sum, so it is simpler to do everything inside the build script if you can.
    Following are the three incomplete PKGBUILD scripts incorporating these changes. They are complete enough that when you run makepkg, they will  download the tarball (if it isn't already present), check its md5sum, copy it into the src directory, uncompress it, and modify the configure script. One way for you to proceed from here is to add lines to the build script, run makepkg, check that the right things happen in the src directory, and then that the correct things are put into the correct place in the pkg directory. The next line in the build script runs configure, which won't finish on my system due to the lack of libjbig.

  • Konica Minolta 2430DL printer

    I want to be able to have the option to set monochrome for this color laser printer. Is it possible to do this from my Mac G4, and then set it back to color, depending on what document I want to print (regardless of whether the original document is in color or not)?

    If I understand correctly, you want to print in Grayscale by default and only enable the color mode when you want. This can be done by using the web interface to the printing system at <http://127.0.0.1:631/printers>. You will find your printer in the listing of printers. Click on the Configure Printer button. You will need to enter your administrator's user name and password. The page you will be presented with shows the defaults for many settings. You can make the necessary adjustments and click Continue. This will set your new defaults.
    Once you set the default output for Grayscale, you can always use the Printer Features under Copies and Pages in a print window to select the color mode as the need arises.
    Another option would be to create another printer queue with a different name such as Minolta 2430 Color. You can again use the web interface to make the default settings you want for that printer queue. Using two different printer queues may make it easier to select between Grayscale and Color modes. You won't have to use the Copies and Pages pop-up menu to get to Printer Features etc.

    if you require futher information about my problem please do not hessitate to ask.. as not being able to print of my wifi printer via my mac is really fustrating me as the macbook and the printer are connected to the same wifi.

    I have the exact same problem.
    My SX435W clearly is in my network (i can ping it), however, it doesn't show up anywhere. I used the "IP" pane in the "add printer" window and typed in the IP manually. Then System Preferences found my printer and wanted to download the driver for it. But I have been getting one of these error messages for the last 3 weeks:

  • HT6030 Anyone Having Problems Scanning with an Epson WF-3520 Printer?

    Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks, the scanning function on my printer has slowed to a crawl and become unreliable, frequently hanging shortly after the scanner initializes.  The Epson web site points to Apple Software Update for a solution, indicating that there should be an Epson update available. But no such luck - at least that I can see.  Any suggestions or possible work-arounds?  Is there other scanning software that would work with 10.9 and my Epson?

    I am new to this so I am not sure what the file size is since I'm not resizing it.
    The question asked about exported image size (height and width) in pixels, not file size. Your operating system can tell you, or if you import the exported image into Lightroom, then Lightroom can tell you in the Metadata Panel, set the dropdown to EXIF.
    I am printing a 5x7. I know I have tried to print with long edge set at 1024 and set to 300 ppi and had the same result with the grainy ness.
    If the exported file has a long edge of 1024, then you did resize the image, there no other way to turn a RAW in to a JPG with long edge 1024. In any event, 1024 pixels is probably not large enough to fill 7 inches, that's really 1024/7=146 pixels per inch (rounded-off), and could be the cause of the "graininess" that you see, although I would use the word "pixelization" to describe what you see. So I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing, but let's go with it for now.
    The solution depends on your answer to the original question, and probably depends on a clarification of how you got the image to 1024 on the long edge even though you claim you didn't resize it.
