Images printing dull please help

Hi there,
I Have a HP Photosmart C5550 All in one printer. I use Vista. I Just re installed the drivers off the website.
Heres the problem: I ran a cartridge ink/ printer test and the color looks great everything is fine. I even ran the clean printer cartridge mode. BUT when I try to print something in color it comes out extremely dull and lack of detail. It almost seems its printing from a limited color scale (But the test prints are fine, Only when i try to print something else.) when I printed things not in color it seems fine for detail. Ive spent over an hour ajusting options and trying diffrent settings and everytime the picture comes out the same. I would really appreciate and help I could get. Thanks in advance.

Give this a try?

I wanted to start a Digital Printing business please help with Photoshop

Hi I wanted to start a digital printing business please help me with photoshop.
I've never used the program before and dont know how to design either. I got the trial edition of the photoshop extended and do I need to take some form of lessons or how do I start learning photo shop to do things like Banners, posters, signage, digital printing in other words...

Before you invest any money in a startup business you MUST make sure you are able to compete with the competition. What you are saying is a bit like - I want to start a bakery but I cant cook and don't know how to use an oven - this might sound negative but try imagine the taste of the cakes....
If you really want to enter into the market your best bet would be to hire a designer/someone who knows about printing/profiling etc as printing can be complex, especially when you bump into technical problems.....You can always learn along side him/her. I don't want to put you off so GO FOR IT!!, but it is tough out there at the moment.

Ridiculous printing problem - please help!

Hello, I have Photoshop CS5 and an Artisan 800 printer, and I'm in the middle of the biggest printer nightmare I've ever had.
I need to print a DVD insert, printing to regular letter paper in landscape mode. 11x8.5. Landscape is selected. Letter is selected in the printer. So both Photoshop and the printer know they're dealing with the same size. But when I click print, I get the stupid 'Image is larger than paper's printable area, some clipping will occur' warning, which is weird, because the image size and the paper size are exactly the same.
Then things actually start getting weird. If I tell it to print anyway, it cuts the image off a few inches before the end of the righthand side of the page. If I tell it to scale to fit media, then print, it cuts the image off at the same spot, as if nothing was changed. My PPI is 300. I've checked and rechecked that the settings are the same on the printer and in photoshop.
Finally, I figured maybe it was somehow just my document causing the problem. So I open a new document, and tell it to print just a regular 8.5x11 letter. Didn't even put anything there. Just printing a blank page.
It says it's too big to fit on the paper!
I'm working on a fairly big job right now and need to print forty of these things by Monday. I'd really rather not have to go to Kinko's or something, as this is all out of my pocket. Plus I can't believe that with a program I spent this much money on, and a two hundred dollar printer, an 8.5x11 page is too big for me to print. Any help is greatly appreciated!

You have not provided enough information for others to help or clarify things for you..
What exact version of Photoshop are you on? 12.0.4? 12.1? Perhaps you have not applied any updates at all?
What exact version of the OS are you running?
What exact version of the printer driver?
What are the exact pixel dimensions of your image? (How many pixels wide by how many pixels high?)

I can't open an image in Firefox, please help..

I am using Firefox 11 UK edition on a HP Laptop running Windows 7.
I like to view images in FF instead of Micro-craps image viewer programs. Until recently I had no problem with that. I would right click on the image and select open with FF. Today all of a sudden it wont do it.
Today when I right click FF is not an option. When I do the browse thing and choose the program manually nothing happens at all.
I mean nothing at all, its like windows doesn't see FF at all. It is very frustrating.
The image will then open in MS Image Viewer.
What is so off is it will allow me to use ANY other program even programs that not designed for it. (I will just get an error of course when it tried to open).
It almost appears as though MS has done something to purposely not allow FF to do this.
Please help!

Connecting to a wireless print server, please help!!!

i have a canon mp500 connected to a network through a wireless printserver and wireless router. the printer works when directly connected to my macbook, but not when connected to the print server. i contacted linksys and they sent a docment on how to set the printer up using it's ip address. still didn't work (the instructions were for 10.1 and 10.2). i have downloaded and installed the current mac os x drivers from the canon website with no luck. please help

I'm no expert, but I was able setup HP printer connected wirelessly to AEBS by using Apple's Printer Setup Utility and Bonjour. I was, however, able to install the HP drivers using the software that came with the printer, but it sounds like you could not do so with Canon?
Anyway, here are Apple's help files for adding an IP printer:
"Connecting to an IP printer
An IP printer is a network printer that uses TCP/IP protocols (such as LPD/LPR, IPP, or Socket or Jet Direct) to communicate with your computer. If the IP printer you want to use is not listed when you print, you can add it to your list of available printers.
To add an IP printer, you need to know its IP address or DNS name. See your network administrator for assistance.
Open the document to print, and choose File > Print.
Choose Add Printer from the Printer pop-up menu, and click IP Printer in the dialog that appears.
Choose the appropriate printing protocol from the Protocol pop-up menu.
Type the IP address or DNS name for the printer in the Address field.
If your printer requires it, type the queue name for your printer in the Queue Name field. If you don't know the queue name, see your network administrator for assistance.
Enter a name and location for the printer, so you can identify it in the Printer pop-up menu.
If the Print Using pop-up menu does not display the name of your printer's model, choose the item appropriate for your printer from the Print Using pop-up menu, and then select your printer in the Model Name list.
Click Add.
Usually, your computer can detect whether a printer has special accessories installed, such as additional paper trays, extra memory, or a duplex unit. If it can't, a dialog appears that lets you specify them. Make sure the settings in that dialog accurately reflect your printer's installed accessories so you can take full advantage of them."

Creating PDF files from Quark causes font/image issues. PLEASE HELP.

After creating a PDF file using Adobe Acrobat Professional (using the file>Export to PDF option) from QuarkXPress version 7.3, my client sees and prints distorted letters with various fonts and they even sometimes see lines where they shouldn't be. I don't see these issues on my end, even when I print the documents. For example, I may have a headline of four words, the top of the words are shifted to one side, or sometimes even the top half of the letters are in a different color. Please help soon before I lose my clients... or my mind. Thanks.

We don't use Quark anymore, but I seem to remember that the export to pdf does not use Acrobat Distiller. It is Quark's own pdf maker. If the customer does have Acrobat Professional, then get them to print to the Adobe PDF 'printer' and seeif they get the same problem. They may need to open the Distiller app to set which output settings are used.

Pixelated images in safari, please help.

Hi everyone,
Hoping someone can help me with a issue i have with my new macbook pro.
When browsing the net, safari and firefox show really pixelated images. I thought it might be my internet connection compressing data or something, but i have tried other computers on the same internet connection and the images show perfect...
So this makes me think its the macbook. I have upgraded snow leopard from 10.6 to 10.6.2 and updated safari, but unfortunately this didnt help my problem. So now i have ended up here, asking you people, coz im out of ideas.
I will include some screen shots so you can see exactly what i mean.
Notice the bad quality images and even on google's banner it is pixelated heaps...
Please help if you can. Its very annoying. Cheers.

Yes, I see the big ugly squares. They are what appears whenever extremely heavy JPEG compression is applied to a low-resolution image tht has relatively large areas of similar colors. Something somewhere is applying such compression to the pages, or portions of them, that you are viewing in your browser(s). Your MBP is not doing that: it can't. Either the page images (or parts of them) are being compressed by the website owners or, if every web page is affected, they are being compressed by your ISP in the process of being transmitted to you, as Gordito suggests. That would greatly increase the speed of page loading, but at the expense of image quality. You wouldn't see the image degradation on an iPhone or cell phone — the screen is too small — but on the MBP's high-resolution display it would be much more apparent, IF the MBP were receiving the signal in the same highly compressed form as the phone. If the MBP receives the same web pages through an ISP that doesn't over-compress them, they'll look the way they ought to look. So if you are receiving these web pages through a cellular ISP rather than through a broadband connection, take the MBP to a wifi hotspot and connect through wifi instead. I bet things will look different then.
Compressing images is something a web browser can't do: a browser just displays the signal that comes to it.

Text editable in images in flash Please help

Hello
Dear All Friends
I want to make text editable in images in flash to get copy from text
can i Make this
and other question please
can i convert text in image in flash to normal string ?
please help
Thank you

Images do not store text data in any isolateable manner, it is comprised of just pixels like anything else in the image. You would need to develop some form of complicated text recognition program to be able to extract text from an image, and I don't believe anyone has.

Canon all-in-one printer can't print? Please, help

Hello.
I recently bought a Canon Pixma MG3550 all-in-one printer. I didn't get a USB cable in the package so i decided to connect it wirelessly. I tried everything but it just couldn't connect. So, I went to the store and bought a USB cable for printer. I connected my printer with this USB cable and installed drivers from the CD that came with printer. Everything went fine but when it came to the part where I can print test page I clicked 'Execute' and nothing happened. I gave up that and clicked next. When I tried to print a picture it says: 'Windows photo viewer encountered a problem printing your picture. Trying reinstalling your printer, and then try again.' When I tried printing a PDF document nothing happened.
So, my computer (Windows 7, 32 bit) recognizes this printer in Devices and Printers and it's set to deafult printer, but when i click 'Printing Preferences' it says 'Operation could not be completed' and when I click printer properites, it says: 'The Canon MG3500 series printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properites will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the driver now?'. If I click Yes, the Add printer driver wizard shows up, but when i go through it and finish it it's still the same. Also, if I click 'Print test page', it says: 'Test page failed to print. Would you like to view the print troubleshooter for assistance? Access is denied.'
Then, if I go to troubleshooter it says that everything is fine. When I go to Canon Quick Menu and click 'Start my printer' it says 'the supported printer cannot be detected' but when I go to 'Diagnose and Repair Printer' it says that everything is okay.
I don't know what to do. I tried reinstalling driver thousands of times, I downloaded drivers from this site and everything, but it's all the same. Also, every time I turn on my printer on button I hear some weird noises two times about 5-10 seconds altogether. I don't know if this is related somehow, but I don't think that my device is broken because it can connect to pc and scanning works perfectly, but printing and copying doesn't.
Please help me, I'm desperate. I'm trying so hard but everything is the same and I'm so tired of this.
Thank you.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I hope this helps.

Could be a problem with windows 8.3 filenames. Does it
work if you pass dd the "short" filename associated with

the MS-DOS "short" filename).

Problem with printing invoice. please help

Hi,
I am trying to print an invoice from transaction VF02 for a custom sapscript assigned. I went to:
Goto >> header >> output and gave all the printing settings there. But when I save (even though I checkmarked both 'print immediately' and 'send immediately upon saving'), it's not getting printed in the printer I assigned. It gives some status message as 'Document XXXXXX saved (pricing error)'. I also went to SP01 also to see if there are any spool requests but could not find any. Can you please help with this so that I able to print it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If the "Release after output" is checked then once printed it will get deleted from the Spool.
Also go to VF03 and in the outputs check the processing log if there is any error..
Thanks,
Naren
