IP4500 DVD Top Printing - Colours WRONG - Driver Issue or what?

OS10.5.5 QT 7.5.5
I have a Canon IP4500, it worked well for some time printing DVD TOPS. I used Verbatim inkjet printble matte, (& sometimes gloss), white tops, the results have always been excellent. I use DISCUS to design and print my tops.
The printer was idle for a number of weeks when I ran out of ink, and had to wait for replacements.
Since then; when printing DVD tops the colours have been wrong, "red shifted". Dark blue ("Blueberry") prints as "lilac". Green grass printed with a "straw" colour. And apart from NOT looking as CRISP as they have in the past, and the colours being off, the tops seem OK.
I have run all the supplied maintainence programmes that come with the IP4500, noozle clean etc.
I have replaced the ink cartridges with fresh ones.
It was suggested to be by the people at Discus that I download the latest Canon driver for my IP4500 and install it. I have done this. (ip4500sosx693ej7.dmg). Checking through System Preferences/Print & Fax/Options & Supplies/General - Driver Version is listed as 6.9.3, so I assume it's installed properly.
I did a test DVD top print after all that and got the same result, Blueberry as Lilac. I then tried printing the DVD top design on a sheet of white A4 and it looked OK, at least the grass was greener.
So, downloaded and installed lastest driver, (I assume), cleaned the printer noozle and printed a test page which looks fine, which indicates the noozle is clean. Which makes me think the driver didn't install properly. Maybe.
So can anyone suggest anything else I could try? I'm really at a loss.

Hello Jay,
I have never used Discus (I only use Canon's CD-LabelPrint) but reading through your post it does sound like something is amiss with the driver, although the printing okay on plain A4 throws a spanner in the works for that theory.
Anyway, if you wanted to try removing all the Canon driver files and then installing just the v6.93 driver again, it may prove to be the answer?
The iP4500 files will be located in HD > Library > Printers > Canon > BJPrinter. You can trash all of these files and run the v6.93 installer again. Note that if you ever need a different Canon driver then you can download it from Canon rather than rely on the Meg's worth of outdated printer drivers in this folder...

  • Printer colours wrong (for graphic objects)

    My new laptop is giving me problems printing. Text prints fine in colour but pictures and graphics all have a creamy yellow tinge.
    [With at least one Microsoft Office application (notably Entourage), the problem also extends to printing text; I can only guess that Microsoft Entourage may send the text in its print files as some sort of graphic.]
    This was not a problem with our old G4 desktop running the same software and using the same printer - where both text and graphics all emerge with a clear white background. But print the same documents, help pages, what-have-you from my laptop and, regardless of the program, they always emerge with yellowish squares around every graphic [and every bit of text too in the case of Microsoft Entourage].
    I feel certain that there must be a setting I can change that will correct the problem, but can't find it. Any suggestions?

    I am guessing here, but your old G4 was a PPC Mac, your new laptop will be an Intel Mac.
    You may therefore need a new printer driver, which you be able to download from the maker.

  • Printing Banners and Driver Issues

    I have recently updated some family tree stuff and wanted to print this off on a multi page banner.  I have 2 HP printers a Photosmart 5520 and a P1102W laser printer and neither appear to give the option to print a multipage banner.
    After a search it was suggested by someone that the driver for the Deskjet 6980 would work on the 5520 however I cant find it to downoad anywhere.
    I have a macbook running osx 10.8 and all the option say to upgrade drivers via the software update feature but given I dont currently have a deskjet 6980 then I cant get the upgrade (even the HP site for the driver doesnt seem to have a driver to download)
    Is there a way to get an updated software for any of the printers I have that would let me print a banner or get a compatible driver that will?
    Seems a bit weird that the printer I had 15 years ago let me print banners but these new ones won't
    Anyway, I hope someone can help

    Hello scm256. I understand you are having banner printing and driver upgrade issues.
    In terms of banner printing, only our higher-end printers are almost guaranteed to possess that capability. I will post the specifications of both the printers, so you can review the supported paper sizes and types:
    Photosmart 5520: http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?sp4ts.oid=5157533&spf...
    Laserjet P1102W: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c01999607
    In terms of updating the drivers, you are probably experiencing that the printers you own do not possess any driver updates at this time, especially an older printer like the Deskjet 6980. Also, there likely will not be a driver update for banner printing, for any printers that do not originally support it.
    Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I'm only here to help!

  • Cannot Print to PDF - Driver issues (?)

    Hello,
    I can't print to PDF from InDesign or for that matter any of my other non-Adobe programs.
    All the file does in print in error in my PDF printer dialog box and nothing happens.
    Just to clarify, exporting as an interactive PDF is not the solution I'm looking for.
    I'm running Windows 7 with Acrobat Pro 8 Installed and Acrobat Reader X installed.
    When I try to right click the pdf print and go to 'Adobe PDF Printing Preferences' and
    set the Adobe PDF folder/output to anything that would prompt me for the file name, I can only select a port by the name of LPT1 and nothing else.
    Also, odd but maybe related, I can't even set the PDF security.
    Help would be delightful

    The 64 bit system may be an issue. I do not remember any responses related to success with AA8 and Win 7, 64. In any case, you need to be at no less than AA 8.1. That was required on 64 bit versions of XP. I would open AA8 and start the update process. If you are offered more than 1 update, do them in order. I don't usually update this way and so am not that familiar with the screen that is offered. You may have to download the updates, in which case you have to download all appropriate updates and install them in order. They are not cummulative. If you download them, you should probably store the updates some place in case you need them again in the future. You also should only have to restart after the last update, though many of them will suggest a restart. AA 8 is at something like 8.3.2.
    The updates may solve the problem. Please report back on your success with the 64 bit version of Win7. That helps us help others.

  • I suggest organising this forum by printer supplier for driver issues

    Here's a suggestion for the Moderators.
    I suggest organising this forum by printer supplier.
    A lot of the questions in here are supplier - specific. It would be nifty to be able to either
    a). check out general Leopard issues with wireless, set-up, sharing, or
    b). go straight to the latest scoop on the issues with Lexmark drivers (or HP, or Brother, or Canon etc.)
    Well, why not?

    Just a reminder folks, that this board is meant for feedback on the forum itself.  Any discussion of Verizon products or services can be posted on the appropriate boards. Thanks!

  • Printer Driver issue for CM1312nfi MFP

    I have a MFP CM1312nfi, which has worked great when using OS Windows XP, recently upgraded to Windows 7 Home Edition and downloaded the complete driver from HP - unable to get the printer to print in anything other than mono.  Totally unable to print colour or install the fax device and scanner.
    The device worked perfectly on Windows XP but since the upgrade nothing will work apart from basic mono printing.
    Anyone else had the same issues and if so what drivers are required to correct this?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If you are printing using HP Universal printing PCL6, right click on it from the Devices and Printers screen and select Properties.
    Click the Device Settings tab change the Device Type from Automatic to Color.
    Click OK and try printing again.
    To fully resolve the issue, a such is likely to be caused due to a conflict with the preinstalled HP UPD drivers on your system, fully removew the software and reinstall it as following:.
    First unplug the USB.
    From the start menu select Programs > HP > HP Color Laserjet CM1312 and follow the Uninstall.
    Once you are done uninstalling, download and follow the HP UPD installer below:
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL40842/ds-99353-10/upd-pcl6-x32-6.0.0.18849.exe
    Select USB Mode (Plug and play).
    Keep only the 1st checkbox checked to remove any installed UPD driver, Uncheck the 2nd box to reinstall the latest version - that will fully scrub the UPD drivers from your system.
    Once the process completes go to Devices and Printers and ensure there are no longer any HP printers exists.
    Left click once on any existing printer (e.g. Fax) and select Print Server Properties from the top menu.
    Open the Drivers tab and ensure there are no HP drivers exists.
    If there are any, delete it by selecting the second option to remove the device and its software.
    Once you are done reinstall the latest software and follow the steps to reinstall the software (if you already hae the specific file on your PC simply run it again):
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL31138/tw-77243-2/CM1312series-win7-full-solution-AM-EMEA...
    Once the installation prompt to conenct the USB, connect the cable and double click the Installing Device Software icon on the system tray:
    From the shown dialog, click the bottom line to skip Windows Update if a such appear and allow it to complete any device installation, once it is complete click on Close and allow the installation to complete.
    Now try printing and check for any difference.

  • Satellite A100-785 PSAANE - CD/DVD drive issue

    Hello Friends,
    I own a Toshiba Satellite A100-785 PSAANE and its configurations are as follows:
    1.87 Ghz C2D, 1 Gb Ram (512 + 512), Windows Vista Basic, CD/DVD read/write...
    Issue: Its been quite long, i m facing a certain problem with my Optical Drive. When ever I insert an CD which is originally produced by any company it works fine. The moment I insert any CD which is personally burned with some data from any normal CD/ DVD writer or the CDs which were previously created by the same laptop mentioned above, its been read as a blank disc. The data of the disk is not shown.
    For eg: Lets say if I insert any software cd like my webcam's cd or my printer's cd they can be read normally and work fine. But the moment I enter any cd which is been burned by me which contains my personal files, that is been read as a blank disc.
    This issue does not exists with any of the DVDs. Doesn't matter which every dvd I insert either being a normal software dvd or being the one which is burned as a personal data dvd, everything works fine and all the data in dvd can be read.
    I have tried reinstalling the driver, I have tried reformatting my laptop using the Toshiba Recovery CD provided with the laptop, but the issue still exists.
    In between few months ago, I tried doing some tweak, like first i insert the cd in the drive and then disable the cd drive and then enabling it again would actually read the cd. But after few tries, this also stopped working.
    Now I really have no idea what should I do to make my CDs work normally.
    I hope this post can help me out.
    Your help will be appreciated
    Thanks for your precious time
    Regards
    Jeetendra

    For me it sounds like a DVD, where the data has been burned, were not fully compatible.
    I meet such issue on different computers. A friend of mine has had the similar problem with an non Toshiba notebook. Its matter of the disks which are used for burning.
    I tested several brands and now Im using TDK and Verbatim because my CD/DVD drive supports these kind of disk properly.
    Of course it could be an hardware issue too but in such case you will need to replace the CD/DVD drive

  • ITunes for 64bit Windows 7 Driver/CD/DVD/Drive Issues-

    Hi There
    I am sure that there are many many users out there suffering the same frustration as me in regard to ITunes just not working properly with Windoews 7 (64Bit).
    I have been trying to solve the mystery of "ITunes for Windows Registry Settings Warning When Opening Itunes.
    I have tried all the recommended actions to correct this problem without any success and I do mean ALL.
    Below is a screen shot of my registry, can anyone see anything wrong with it?
    In the meantime (Last four months) I have stopped using ITunes and instead have used Digital 7, this will be my very last attempt to get ITunes working properly, failure will mean consigning ITunes to the same place as any other Software that does not do wshat it says on the can.
    I hope someone can help.

    That's good that it is in device manager, but what about in Computer with the rest of the drivers?
    Also, are the drives listed in Computer and device manager or just device manager?
    I want to verify if the symptoms are present for a particular software issue before looking at other issues.  I really doubt it is a driver issue at this point.  If it was, then I suspect the issue would be present from day one. 
    It could be that the lens has dust buildup preventing it from working properly.  They do make CD cleaning kits that have a special CD designed to clean the laser as it passes over the lens.  If you happen to have one of these, or access to one, I recommend trying this step to make sure it isn't as simple as dust buildup interfering with the laser. 
    It could also be hardware failure, but I would like to try a few other steps before coming to that conclusion. 
    It may be worth reviewing this document as it covers a lot of the most common issues behind DVD drive issues. Feel free to skip any steps you have already tried. 
    Let me know what happens.

  • I want to use my canon pixma ip4500 as my printer with my good ole G4.  I need a driver.  Is there an easy  way to get that or is my G4 too old?

    I want to use my canon pixma ip4500 as my printer with my powerbook G4.  I need a driver but was very confused with how to get one.  Is it possible and could someone come down to my level and tell me step by step how to do it?  Many thanks.

    Nope, your PB is not too old.
    Here is the link to the PIXMA ip4500 drivers on Canon's site:
    Drivers & Software
    The page has you first select your version of the Mac OS (10.4) from the pull-down "Chose Operating System" menu. Once selected, you'll see the available software, Click on the arrown next to "Drivers" and it should look like this:
    (click image to enlarge if needed)
    Click the word "Download " and you'll get the driver.
    Note at the top of that image there are other links to other documents pertaining to this printer. If you click on "Brochures and Manuals," while you are on that web page, you'll have Canon's instructions, probably better done than by anyone here other than someone who has the same printer model on a Mac running OS 10.4.

  • LaserJet software/driver issues. Print and Scan Doctor doesn't work on scanning function of MFP.

    Upon using the diagnostic utility HPPSdr. exe, only the select an action "Fix Printing" shows up and not the "Fix Scanning" option. Our printer is the LaserJet 3050 connected via usb running under Windows Vista32 on a HP dv8408us laptop. The scanning driver is HP imaging 4.0.4.0. There have been numerous problems with this scanning software/driver package which have been well illustrated on the HP forums. An update is sorely needed. All that HP customers really expect when we buy a product is that we get the functionality that we paid for and that we get support for the software and hardware for a reasonable length of time, I think that 5-7 years after the final production date of the product, at least, is reasonable. In the case of the 3050, the scanning has never worked right since day 1 because the scans are too light with signatures and time stamps showing up poorly. With the pnp driver installed it it almost impossible to scan in receipts, etc. The communication software Toolbox FX is needed to use the scan button on the machine, and since there are so many problems with this package with respect to system resource usage and connectivity, we can't use it and we don't get the walk up use of the scan button that we paid for originally. As Microsoft has updated the Windows OS, HP has failed to keep pace and we lose functionality of our equipment over time.  The diagnostic utilities have supposedly been updated several times and the scanning portion of the MFP still doesn't show. Surely the wide base of installation of this product could justify the expense of some engineering time for an update to the software and drivers. If HP hopes to turn itself around, a commitment needs to be made towards engineering products that really work in the environments that its customers use them, or else HP will merely be regarded as marketing company that is only concerned with selling the next thing without respect to customer retention.

    VisionAiry,
    Thank you for your response,
         There have been problems with the software and drivers for the LaserJet MFP/AIO machines which have been well illustrated by many users on here for several years. What is shocking is the unwillingness of HP to address these issues at an engineering and design level. This is the level in your organization that these problems need to be addressed at, not at the marketing and customer service level. The software/driver package has never really worked right ever since the 3050 - 3392 series was introduced back in 2006. The scanning drivers in the pnp drivers don't work, and never have, because of frequent communication problems. Someone never bothered to check if a blue ink signature would scan. I and several others have reported on these issues. What I have discoverd, through much trial and error, is that the full software package upon installation with only basic drivers installed using the check boxes in the menu, actually installs differently than the pnp driver. Who would have thought this? So now the machine scans OK. 
         My PC really appreciates not having the ToolboxFX installed. ToolBoxFX Error messages and crashes have been well documented on here. This is an application that puts an unnecessary drain on system resources. The only problem is that now the use of the Scan button on the machine is taken away so I don't get the walk up use of the scan button that we paid for in the original design. Why is the scan button function tied to the defective ToolboxFX software? 
         As far as printing goes, after carefully deleting the original print drivers, I use the PCL 5 and PCL6 UPD drivers. They work a lot better than the original print drivers ever did. But what about scanning? The scan driver on the 3050 dates all the way back to 7 2007. Scanning is an integral part of the functioning of most offices nowadays, but it is an afterthought at HP.  Why would a driver, software or diagnostic package only address half of the capabilities of a machine?
         When I went on the vacation recently, I tried to use my PCL 5 and PCL 6 drivers on my relatives 2009 OfficeJet 7310 and it wouldn't work at all. I had to spend 2 hours with multiple failed attempts to install the full 7310 package on my PC. Installation problems and repeated attempts are a constant theme with HP software. The very term Universal Print Driver is misleading because it won't work on many of the HP products out there. The product listing for the UPD, I only recently discovered on here, with help, because it was so buried on the UPD information page. 
         The LaserJet 3050 at $300 from Staples wasn't the most expensive printer out there, but it wasn't the least either. It is actually a pretty nice piece of hardware. I have invested over $1,500 in marked up toner since I've had this machine. HP needs to do better for us. 

  • Printer Driver issue with iMac & HP 1200 Printer?

    A friend has this combination, asked me to help him with a printer problem. The HP 1200 Laserjet shows in the "Printer Setup" window, is the default printer. The printer shows up in the hardware connected to the USB bus. BUT, when you try to print, the application printing goes through its normal print flush to driver. Then the printer icon down on the dock shows "waiting for connection," and times out in that state, never to actually print.
    EXCEPT! When the guy unplugs the entire system (not the same for restart) and plugs it back in, the printer works, prints everything in its queue, UNTIL he puts the machine to sleep, then he's stuck again. What is happening? Anyone have a clue?

    I would imagine he downloaded the latest driver for the intel based mac. Aside from that you can goto System Preferences > Printer & Fax > Printer setup > Printer setup utility(top of the screen) and reset the Printing system.

  • HP 6600 Scan\Print Driver Issue for Windows 7 Profession​al 64 bit

    Hello,
    For some time now I have been unable to scan or print from my desktop (Windows 7 Professional 64bit) and I have exhausted too much effort and am now bringing it to the masses.
    The problem:
    Printing:  Currently receiving an "Error - Offline" message in my printer queue at all times.
    Scanning:  Scanning has never fully worked on this desktop. I am always unable to communicate with the printer. (Though webscan works through accessing the printers IP address)
    Things I have tried:
    Ran HPPSDr, followed directions (Unpluged power to printer, turn back on, restart computer) brings me to this website after it cannot fix. (Note that while the HPPSDr is running it always notions that there is a driver problem)
    Uninstalled Drivers from CD-ROM, re-installed, countless times
    Installed "Windows 7 Pro 64 bit drivers" from the HP website and uninstalled, countless times.
    Attempted to set a static IP and use "Update IP Address" to point specifically at the printers IP.
    Installed Drivers and finding the printer myself through it's own static IP address.
    Turned off firewall and attempted to print (after reboot), same errors
    Setting up the printer on all of my laptops (3) wirelessly to attempt to find if there is a problem with the printer or static IP. (1 is Windows VISTA 32bit and the other 2 are Ubuntu 32bit). All laptops are able to use the printer wirelessly without any problems.
    Read all of the forums about this issue and attempted all of the 'solutions'. Although I mostly don't see that anyone with this same problem is resolved, unless I'm missing the perfect post.
    Things I have not tried:
    Plugging the USB directly into the desktop. (This seems self defeating as the purpose for this printer was to be able to print wirelessly to it from across the room)
    Re-installed Windows 7 Pro 64bit (Trying to avoid this, would rather just print from laptops)
    You tell me
    Curiosities:
    I have noticed strange things that make me believe the driver is somehow incomptable with my OS. Here is a shot of the properties of the printer:
    Weird that it is not recognizing the model number.
    Also in the Printer Settings when I go to the port tab, there is no port selected, if I try and tab away it forces me to select a port, yet when I do and 'apply' and then re-open the Printer Settings in the ports tab; it has again unselected the previously selected port.
    Theories:
    I feel like my OS is just refusing to notice the IP address for the wireless printer, no matter what I have it set to, even if it's dynamic. It's like the driver for Windows 7 Pro 64bit is actually not the correct driver for my system.
    Anyways, another thing to mention is that I am not currently willing to wipe my operating system and re-install Windows 7 Pro in order to resolve this just yet. I want to see if anyone else has any other avenues I can try before even beginning to consider that. 
    Anyways, thanks in advance for taking the time to read my ramblings and hopefully someone who has resolved this issue can help me.

    Hi Zerosouls,
    I understand you are having an issue with HP 6600 Scan\Print Driver Issue for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
    First try to click the Windows icon, type services in the Search box, and then click or tap View Local Services. Scroll down to the Windows Installer. Startup type should be - Automatic, and Service Status should be - started
    Restart the computer after this step and try installing Hp Officejet 6600 again.
    Please let me know what happens

  • Can't install CS3 Upgrade on NEW iMac 24". An Imac DVD drive issue?

    My CS3 Design Premium Upgrade CD fails to install Photoshop on my BRAND NEW iMac yet it is able to install everything else on the CS3 disc. I just bought this iMac yesterday and CS2/CS3 Upgrade are the FIRST things I installed (besides updates) when I turned it on. I'm still using 10.4.10.
    I searched through the Adobe forums and the internet as to how others with the same issue have dealt with the problem, but it seems the most common reason is that people had installed Photoshop CS3 beta previously as well as older Flash/Acrobat plug-ins conflicting with the installation process. Further, these causes seem to be effecting Windows users.
    So a few hours ago I tried to COPY the upgrade CD contents to my hard disk, I get the message:
    "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in 'AdobePhotoshop 10en_US.dmg' could not be read or written. (Error code -36)."
    This procedure of copying to the disk (and the resulting error message) is SPECIFICALLY addressed in the Adobe support pages TechNotes:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401429&sliceId=2
    The page says that it may be a drive issue that is causing the problem. Of the 7 possible solutions given on the page, I've narrowed it down to only 1 option left (but I can't try it since I don't have another Mac!):
    "*Solution 4*: Copy the software to the hard drive of a different computer.
    *If the software copies successfully, the model of DVD drive on your original computer might not be able to read the DVD. Contact the DVD drive or computer manufacturer for any updates that might be available.*"
    But what's funny (or annoying rather) is, I had a 20" Alum 2.4 iMac earlier this year (returned because of screen problem), and the CS3 upgrade installed without any problems on it!..??? And according to the iMac specs, the 20" and 24" models both have the same DVD drive make right?
    Any ideas??? Are there other 24" iMac users who are experiencing similar problems? If not, then I guess I may have to return yet another iMac...which I'm reluctant to do since this screen is PERFECT! I'm scared to get another iMac with the dreaded screen gradient issue.

    I just solved the problem.
    I tried copying the DVD files to the hard disk about 7-8 more times. The last try SUCCESSFULLY copied to the disk and I was able to install Photoshop CS3.
    Yay.

    ISTR that Win98SE added some USB support to Win98, perhaps for USB 2.0. That may be the issue you're experiencing. Have you considered an upgrade to Win98SE? Have you explored Microsoft's support website for a patch to Win98 to support USB 2.0?
