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.

What's the benefits of Indesign CC over Indesign CS3 for print design?

What's the benefits of Indesign CC over Indesign CS3 for print design? I'd like to know the advantages and features – all those I read about are to do with EPUB, collaborative working, teams or digital designs, and those don't reflect my work.

Very important is the span column paragraph property which allows to span several columns in a text frame or to split a column in several sub columns.
Very important is the tag feature, which is also important for creating PDFs with unlimited access.
A lot of problems with footnotes and page layout have been solved due to a better text engine. Up to CS5.5 it could happen that a footnote could force a page be empty when a document was opened.
With CS5 rounded frame corners which are editable were introduced.
Object Styles have been completed since CS3.
Content tools to create linked content were introduced. You need only to change the original content (text or image) and all linked content will be updated as any other link. The linked content can be in the same and in any other document.
Since CS5.5 it is much easier to anchor frames in a text flow with the little at the top of a frame symbol.

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.

Error message when installing Indesign CS3 trial. I need help ASAP

I have searched the forums and adobe.com and have tried everything that I saw. None of it worked for me. I have tried and tried to install Indesign CS3 trial. I keep getting the error message: Indesign has encountered a problem and must close.
I have windows XP and plenty of RAM. What can the problem be? I have done everything I can think of to do. I added more memory and did everything the forums said to try. I really need this for my class. I am getting behind. I cannot afford to buy the program. Please help!!!!!
Thank you,
Teddy

If you scroll down you'll see there's Windows info there, too. Aside from being sure the fonts are activated, you might try renaming the Sing folder, which should be in Program Files\Common\Adobe.
You could also try Help > Configure Plugins and disable the Sing.apln, but I don't know how you can get there if the program won't start. Maybe going to the Adobe InDesign CS3\Plug-Ins\Text folder and changing the name from SING.apln to SING.bak would do the trick.
If it's really the SING problem, that ought to fix it, but you won't be able to work with Oriental languages.

HP Photosmart B109n-z (printing problem) please help

Hi all,
I have the HP Photosmart B109n-z printer and have it set up wirelessly and it works fine I've had no problems with it.
The other day the black ink stopped working - the cartridge isn't empty but it's no longer prinking black on any documents. I have since put all new cartridges in, it recognises them all, including the black one, and if I'm printing something like a word document then it moves as if printing but the page comes out blank - no black ink is used.
I work for myself and work from home so need to get this resolved asap.
I've checked the cartidge - it's good.
I've checked the connection and print cartridge bay - they're clean.
Please help.
The colour is working fine.
The black ink issue is the same whether printing, scanning, or copying.
And I have tried turning everything off and on again!!!

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."

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.

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?)

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,
