InDesign 4: colors won't print

how do I get None, Black and Registration to print?
I've looked at every preferance but can't figure it out...
I restarted and went back to default prefs - that didn't work either.
I'm guessing it's something simple??? but can't find it...
Using Windows Vista (at work - my mac version at home works just FINE).

The symbol you're pointing to only notes that those colors cannot be edited or deleted.
NONE is, do I really have to say this?, never going to print...
Are you saying if you color a frame Black it does not print?
Reset your preferences if so.

The cyan color won't print when using our HP Pro 6500 Officejet printer

the cyan color won't print when using our HP Pro 6500 Officejet printer. Can I get help with this?

This doesn't make sense. The printer is exhibiting behavior noticed when a network printer is connected to a laptop while the laptop is connected to a VPN. But in this case, neither the printer is connected on a network, not is the laptop connected to a VPN per se.
Are you sure all the latest drivers for your laptop have been installed? That's pretty much the only thing I can think of right now.

HP Laserjet Pro 200 Color - won't print due to lack of memory

My new HP Laserjet Pro 200 Color printer won't print and gives me an error message saying it has insufficient memory.
How do I delete the memory on my printer so it will print?
And how do I change the settings so it quits saving documents in the future?
Thanks so much.

Canon IP7250 - Color won't print - Please help

I have a Canon IP7250, two day ago, my printer showed me error C000. I resolved this error, but now my printer won't printing in colour. Black working properly. I tried many times to cleaning a toner in mainteace. When I go to "print head alignment" then shows error 2500. ? In nozzle check black colour is excellent but no other colors on paper.
Please, help me.
Thanks.

Again, the username/password, would either be your logon username/password or your "root" username/password if you have enabled it.
Another option would be to update your CUPS software. Multi-functional printers are usually "tricky" to get full-featured drivers for. It's possible that a newer version for this particular printer may exist with an update.
Still another option (and possibly a better one) would be to download and install the latest Gutenprint printer drivers. These were formally known as Gimp-Print drivers. (ref: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3)

Specific InDesign file (CS6) won't print

HI- I have CS6 and one of my files will not print. (Well it will print the first spread, but nothing else). I have tried installing and uninstalling the printer driver, and other indesign files I have will print, but I have one specific file that will inly print the first spread. I'm wondering if there is a corrupt file in there or font or something?
Here's the kicker- I exported it as a .pdf and tried printing the file off another computer, and it will STILL only print the first page but no other spreads. All the content appears in the .pdf however.
Any ideas??

As weird as this may sound... I just had the same problem!
I have a 7 page document and InDi would only print the first page!
Then, I exported it to PDF, and Acrobat also would only print the first page!
I started troubleshooting...
Printing each page alone:
page 2 would not print
pages 3,4,5 would print!
page 6 would not
page 7 printed
It comes out that on pages 2 and 6 I had some paragraphs with paragraph style A, and there were some overrides.
The minute I cleared the overrides, the whole document printed without a problem!
Obviously, this can't be the problem. Text overrides never stopped InDi or a PDF from printing before
But this was the reality in my scenario
If anyone can shed some light on this... I would be very interested.
Thanks

Cyan color won't print

I printed about 20 photos and color was great. Suddenly the the color went bad. Printed a test page and Black, Yellow and Magenta were perfect but the Cyan was missing completely. All ink levels were at 50% or better, Cyan was about 80%. Printhead status was listed as "good". Cartridges are all HP. Problem occured while printing on Kodak Easy Share, Later tried on Photoshop and Microsoft Word with same results. Help would be much appreciated.

Hello @roger232 , Welcome to the forums!
I read your post about the "Print Quality" issues you have been facing with your Officejet 8000, and I wanted to reply to you with my suggestions.
I would recommend troubleshooting using the guide I posted for you below. The cartridges seemed to sound okay to me personally however, the problem could be with the printhead(s), and this is still possible with a good reading from them (as you mentioned). Give the steps a shot and if the problem continues, give us a call directly to discuss your printer options with HP. I will leave contact information below as well!

InDesign and Acrobat Won't Print

15" MacBook Pro running 10.4.11 --- CS3
I cannot print from InDesign or Acrobat. I can print from the other CS3 suite and from other programs. I have reinstalled both programs. I have tried printing to different printers via usb and wireless. I have reinstalled both printer drivers. I have purchased a new battery. I have never installed additional plugins.
Both printers will print test pages. Please post suggestions or knowledge.

Wait...you don't have enough harddrive space to do a full install? That could be the answer to your problems right there.

InDesign CS2 file won't print after placing an image

Every once in a while, I can't get a file to print after I place an image. The file would print fine prior to adding the image. This doesn't happen with all images - and I have investigated (trying to save the images with different extensions), but haven't found the problem.

You have provided us exactly zero information that would allow us to help you with your problem.
You could provide a sample available for us to download and test. Or you could give more information if you could list some replicable information. But you've given us neither. Sorry.

Pantone Color 5615 Coated Won't Print On 1 of 2 Identical HP DesignJet 5500s

Hi,
We've run into an odd problem where we have 2 locations with identical setups: Creative Suite Design Premium 4, Mac Pros, and HP DesignJet 5500s. The same InDesign file prints fine in one location with a DesignJet 5500, but when we print the same ID file at the second location that has a second DesignJet 5500, the only color that doesn't print correctly is Pantone 5615 Coated. We're using same printer driver version for both printers. I haven't yet checked Firmware versions for both printers.
On the printer that won't print Pantone 5615, the printer doesn't print it correctly in any of our Creative Suite applications. We tried creating completely new files in ID, PS, IL and the color won't print. We've checked color management in Bridge and ID and they seem OK. We're not currently having any other color problems printing with any other Creative Suite files with this printer. Colors are accurate all the way around.
I read the forum and saw a lot of posting about Pantone colors, so I will try some of the suggestions related to Pantone issues. At the moment, I'm not at the location with the problem printer and can't try the suggestions until next week.
When I was at the location yesterday, we tried printing Pantone 5615 from Quark 7.5 and the color printed fine. Obviously, we don't want to use Quark on an ongoing basis for this project. It seems likely that it isn't a printer hardware problem since the Pantone color prints out fine from the Quark file. There seems to be a setting somewhere in Creative Suite that the printer at our one location doesn't like, or there is some setting on the printer that is different than the other printer. I don't think it's a network problem with the one printer versus the other printer because I would think Quark would then run into the same problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jason

I have the same issue with my 44" Z3100ps GP Photo, but it is when I print from Photoshop CS5. I am running OSX 10.68 and since the last Apple/HP printer driver update this last Summer my printer will not print solid black strokes or borders around an image, yet the image prints perfectly.
I tried to roll back the drivers with no success. If I make a solid black rectangler file and try print it nothing at all prints. If I scribble in Photoshop with white paint brush in the middle of that same file the printer skips the left edge of the black rectangle and then prints the middle scribbnle and right egde of the rectangle folowing the contour of the scribble on the left.
Had me baffled and still does, the printheads are in good working order. I print large canvas photos with 1.5" black borders used to cover the sides of stretched canvases. The only way I have found around this issue is to add an inch or so to the canvas size all the way around in photoshop and make it white. That seems to fool the printer into printing the file with the full black border. Still this is not a real fix, but at least it keeps my printer running.
Let me know if you find a solution to this. HP support doesn't help as they only give support to in warranty printers. Maybe Apple could help with the drivers?

InDesign CS3 Color Printing Incorrectly - Please Help!

I purchased Creative Suite 3. When I print photos in Indesign, the colors do not print accurately. It looks liked I smeared orange sherbet all over the photo. I still have InDesign CS on the computer and I did a test print and the color is fine. I tried reinstalling CS3 Suite and the same things occurs. Any thoughts?

This is probably a color management issue.
Color management was off by default in CS, and is on for later versions. Unless you've calibrated your monitor and embedded profiles in your images, I suspect that what you are getting from either program is hit-or-miss and may not resemble the "real" color in the image file, particularly if there is no accurate profile for your printer.
Painful as it is to say, the best thing you can do is go to the library or bookstore and get a book. I highly recommend Real World Color Management as the easiest to understand resource I've seen.

Colors off when printing on Epson printer from Indesign

I'm new to Indesign. I'm a photographer trying to print a booklet for a handmade book.
My question is about preparing photographic images for use in Indesign.
I have JPEGS, saved as RGB files at 300DPI. I'm printing on an Epson R2000 using a custom paper and custom ICC profile. In my Color Management dialog I have Let Indesign handle colors and the correct printer profile selected. Output color is Composite RGB. The colors are really off so obviously I'm doing something wrong. I'm no expert so any advice much appreciated!

Hi - I disabled the custom profile for my Moab paper and whilst the green hue is gone, the colors are dull. My question is should I save my images in Photoshop to CMYK? As opposed to RGB?
Should I change the color profile assigned to Indesign to Adobe RGB? This was the original color profile of the image in Photoshop.

HP Color Laserjet 1515n won't print

Haven't been able to find an answer anywhere. Even disconnected from the network and stand-alone, the HP Color LaserJet 1515n (product number CC377A bought at Costco not too long ago) won't print. Can't print configuration page, no demo page. Nothing. It just sits there saying "printing" and flashing but never does anything else. Tried resetting through the menus. Didn't work. Tried holding down the right arrow and X to reset NVRAM. Didn't work. Any help? For when I do get the printer to work on it's own, I'm on Windows 7.

Can a color laser printer be adjusted to match InDesign CS6 colors?

I'm trying to print through a laser printer (color Brother HL-4570CDW) but it muddies all the colors and darkens them.
The inkjet Epson does ok, but I'd like to save ink, if possible. Is there a way to adjust the way the printer reads the colors?
I'm not totally experienced in color profiles and such. I tried both CMYK and RGB, but still it looks awful. It may be the printer, but is there anything else I can do?
Thanks, I know this is a stupid question!

The printer in question, the Brother HL-4570CDW, is a fairly inexpensive SOHO laser printer typically used to print “office” documents. As such, it doesn't offer direct options either on the front panel or via the driver to match typical commercial print conditions such as SWOP. Most content sent to such a device is sent as RGB from printer drivers.
(For your convenience, I have attached a copy of both the specification sheet and the manual for this device!)
Some ideas:
(1) Don't expect reasonable CMYK colors if you are using what Brother describes as the “Windows(r) printer driver (the most suitable printer driver for this product)” and what is apparently installed by default (see page 26 of manual). It invokes an emulation of HP PCL5C, pure RGB, which is a real problem from InDesign. Install their “BR-Script printer driver” and turn off the option for RGB vivid color and try that instead. BR-Script is Brother's emulation of PostScript 3 - definitely not Adobe PostScript 3, but it possibly will give you better results than their emulation of PCL5C!
(2) Assuming you are printing BR-Script and the colors are still very problematic, try recalibrating the printer via the printer's front panel. See page 82 of their manual!
(3) Export PDF as PDF/X-4 and try printing the PDF/X-4 file from Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader, again using the BR-Script driver. This might improve things.
If you still can't get decent color and the printer is still “new,” I'd try to return the unit as defective. You can get much better printers for comparable prices from Xerox that have Adobe PostScript 3 and have reasonably good color. Otherwise, if still under warranty, I'd contact Brother and see if they have solutions other than blaming Adobe somehow!
- Dov
PS: This isn't the first report I've heard of serious problems with Brother CloneScript devices.

HP Color Laserjet 2605dn won't print the red color
