IPhoto/aperture color print problem - want help

I have used my Canon i9900 many times.  Suddenly, it will not properly print if I tell it to print on photo paper.  If I make it think it is "plain paper," the colors come out ok.  but if I set it to print on photo paper, the colors are very off. 
Any help appreciated. 

Questions about your Printer are best taken up with the Manufacturer

  • Pavilion dv7-4060us Color Printing Problems...

    I just bought a new Pavilion dv7-4060us Notebook and am having problems printing in color.  I have a Xerox Phaser 8550DP PS Printer that I'm trying to connect to through a wireless network connection.  I can find the printer on the network and install the "Xerox Phaser 8550DP PS" driver online just fine.  But, after all that, when I try to print, it will only print in Black and White.  For some reason it just will not print in color.  I've looked through all my "printer properties" and it doesn't even show color options!  It's like my computer just doesn't even recognize that the printer can print colors.  Like maybe that printer's driver is for some reason not recognizing it as that actual printer?!
    I tried deleting the printer and the driver off my computer and installing it using the printer's original CD, but it says it's not compatible with Windows 7 OS.  But installing the driver via online and using the CD should basically be the same thing shouldn't it?  So that can't be the problem.  The "HP printer help website" doesn't really help at all because it's a Xerox printer and not an HP.  After reading through some forum posts I figured maybe it was a firewall problem, but wouldn't the firewall stop me from printing all together...not just prevent me from printing color?  
    Has anyone seen this happen before or heard of anything like this happening?  Right when I got the computer I kind of went through and deleted a few things I thought were Crapware, so the only thing I can think of right now is that maybe I accidentally deleted some kind of software program that lets me print color?!  Which doesn't really make any sense, so I don't think that's it.
    Also, I know it's not a Windows 7 OS problem or my wireless connection because my brother's computer uses Windows 7 and connects through wireless as well, but his can print color just fine.  He set his computer up like a year ago so he can't remember how he set it all up or what he did, so he's kind of useless.
    As of right now the only thing I can think of to do is try posting on this HP help forum and post on the Xerox Printer help forum and see if anyone has any advice for me.  If you have any ideas I'm up for trying anything because I pretty much NEED to be able to print from this computer!!  Any information can help out a lot so just let me know.  Thanks!

    I have exactly the same problem with my dv7-4171us, my husband has the same printer and it print fine on my Xerox but mine only prints in black and white, its very frustrating.  I called HP and after 2 hours on the phone they couldnt fix it either.
    I'm thinking of doing a full "f11" factory restore.  If anyone knows how to fix the color printing problem please let me know.

  • IPhoto 08 contact print problems - after 5 images. prints pt a screenshot

    iPhoto 08 contact print problems - after 5 images. prints pt a screenshot

    Okay - So, I teach photography and have my students print contact sheets from iPhoto version 08.  I have one student (out of forty) having the following problem (I have removed preferences, reinstalled iPhoto, used the iPhoto updater for 7.1.5, reloading the printer driver and upgrading the system software to 10.6.8 {I teach in a high school, so no funds for newer software})
    The problem is isolated to one student - the others on the same machine do NOT have the same problem.  When this student selects more than 5 images, the resulting output looks as if he has taken a screen shot - the palettes on the left of the frame show and the titles he has inserted (using Batch Change) are moved on to the pictures.
    At this point, I am going to let him screenshot his submissions, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
    Thanks!

  • Very Very Urgent...Printing problem please help me.....

    Hi there,
    Today, i struggled with one printing problem. can anybody help me please!. We are preparing reports using reports 10g. I created a report with orientatin of Landscape and Paper size is 11.5*8.5 that is A4 size and right margin 0.2 left margin with 0.2 and top and bottom margins with 0.5.Report output is correctly coming in report builder runtime. Now the actual problem is, this report must linked to one server for example http://xx.xx.xxxx.main.html.we linked the report generated by me to this link.
    when i run the report using this weblink, report is displayed in htmlcss(i opted) perfectly,now user can take the printout of this report by clicking print from file menu. The actual problem i faced is when i run this report in html link report is correctly displaying but paper size is letter and page margin are right 0.75 and left 0.75 defualtly. When i print the report with these setings date is truncating when user takes printout in html. User don't know the page margins i.e right o.2 both left and right (actually in report builder). So he cant adjust it correctly in file menu pagesetup in html page.He simply click print and it should come as with report builder margin settings. To solve this i change the default preferences in control panel ---printers, but no use. Is it possible to pass margins both right,left and top bottom margins as runtimeparameters in url of the this report. Is there any alternative way.
    Please do reply urgent, becoz since this is my clients urgent requirement,help me
    Thanks and regards
    thanx in advance.

    Hi,
    Though HTMLCSS pages are created using the same page margins that you specify in the report definition, the problem may become more clear to you if you try to create PDF files instead of HTMLCSS. Set DESFORMAT=pdf, and see the output PDF file in Acrobat Reader. Do you see the margins that you want, or is the problem still the same? If you don't see the correct margins even in the PDF file, it probably means you need to modify your report definition to get the margins you want.
    In case you see the correct margin in PDF output, it means that your report design is fine. The problem is with printing. In that case, I think what other people have suggested you is true - probably the printable area for your particular printer is less than what you want.
    I'm afraid I may not be the best person to specify the printer or OS settings. Please consult your printer vendor.
    The other option may be to get output in PDF format, and print PDF files.

  • IPhoto 2014 Ordering prints, problems communicating with apple online store

    iPhoto v. 9.5.1
    When I'm trying to order prints directly from within iPhoto, i get this error "There was a problem communicating with the Apple Online Store. Please try again."
    I tried:
    - Booting from safe mode
    - Calling tech support
    - Reinstalling iPhoto
    - This guide: http://b.rthr.me/wp/?p=356
    The only thing that are partly working is changing country iPhoto > Preferences > Advanced > Print Product Store.
    If i change from Denmark to Germany or UK, i get the check out screen - but I can't pay with a danish credit card or choose to have the package send to Denmark.
    Any ideas?

    The following are two fixes posted by other users that helped them:
    #1
    go to the System/Sharing preference pane and make sure Remote Apple Events is checked.
    If it is, uncheck it and then recheck and try ordering again.
    #2
    Quit iPhoto.
    From the Finder menu bar, choose Go > Utilities to access your Utilities folder (or press Shift-Command-U).
    In your Utilities folder, open Keychain Access.
    Find the "NetServices" entry in your Keychain Access window.
    Select the "NetServices" entry and press the delete key.
    Reopen iPhoto and attempt to place your order again.
    You should be prompted to enter your account information if you deleted the Keychain entry successfully.
    After entering your account information, you should be able to complete your order.

  • 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?)

  • Ready to buy my first color printer...help!

    Hello!
    I'm a soon to be homeschooling mom looking for a color printer. I have no idea if I need injet or laser.
    I have a black and white printer but now I need to print for curriculum for my toddlers so color is pretty important. I also want to print pretty quotes to frame for my walls and colorful day planner pages for me and family newsletters for Christmas/Holidays and scrapbook pages. Copy feature would be great but not neccessary. Reasonable priced ink refills/cartridges/whatever are a must because we'll be using it a ton--a printer that will play nice with cheaper off brand refills would be a definite bonus.
    I don't need black & white because I have a printer for that already.
    I also need something Mac friendly (which our last HP seriously failed at).
    So what printer do I need?

    I don't have a specific recommendation, but you should choose an AirPrint-capable printer from this list:
    AirPrint Basics
    Ink refills are never reasonably priced. Off-brand ink may cause the printer to malfunction or produce poor output.
    If you don't need photo quality, consider a color laser. Much cheaper to operate and more reliable.

  • IPhoto Printing Problems - please help!

    Hi All,
    I'm having continued problems trying to sort out printing from iPhoto '09. I dont have a great printer - Epson Photo r265 so it is a cheapy however it does print fine. If I print from my PC to this printer it works perfectly. Therefore I assumed there was a driver issue between the mac and the printer. Finally I worked out how to get the correct epson driver as opposed to apples version installed and set as default. Now the photos no longer have crazy lines all over them but the quality remains very poor by comparison to printing on this printer using the same photo from other sources.
    I then downloaded Epsons easy photo print. If I print using this very basic package on the mac now the quality is much better (still not amazing though but certainly acceptable). So it sounds like problem solved??? ..... NO!!! The problem is that the Epson Easy Photo Print software cannot 'see' the photos in iPhoto and so to print, you first have to copy photos to desktop or some place else outside of iPhoto. This all seems due to iPhoto's wierd need to keep its arms locked around the photos within it with the result that when you look in Finder all you see is a file called "iPhoto Library" .... and 3rd party software as simple as this epson print package cannot translate this and see the photos within.
    Can anyone help here and give some options?
    1. Is it actually possible to print at good quality from iPhoto?
    2. Is there other printing software I can use which will actually be able to see the photos in iPhoto Library
    3. I even though my printer is very cheap and basic i know it is not its fault - that said are there printers better optimised to use with a mac? I would consider changing the printer if needed as I'm really sick of this.
    4. Can I change the iPhoto settings somehow to stop all my photos appearing as a single file - "iPhoto Library"??
    All help much appreciated.
    Adam

    The first of these might help:
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Color printing problem

    Hi. I seem to be having some issues getting the color right when printing. I have an Epson Stylus CX4200 printer, and use an Adobe RGB color profile for my display. I've been tinkering with the advanced options under "color management" when I go to print, such as selecting the "colorsync" option or using the "color control" and selecting the adobe rgb profile listed under "mode" but tehre is no difference in the print results. Basically my prints turn out overwhelmingly green, as if I were running out of other ink colors, but apparently my ink levels are fine. Any help is appreciated.

    Have you cleaned the nozzles? Run the printer utility to clean the nozzles and then run the test print.
    Also try setting your monitor to the sRGB color profile instead of the Adobe one. Since the sRGB profile is the one used on the web and by apple for printing I've found it a good one to match my monitor to my printing. The Adobe profile is much darker and more muddy in appearance than the sRGB. It's designed for printing from printers set up for the Adobe profile.
    Open ColorSync and compare the Epson standard profile with both the adobe and sRGB to see which is closer and use that one.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Photosmart HP C4480 printing problem! Help!!!

    Hp C4480 prints directly from a memory card, but it doesn't print from PC.
    It doesn't say that there is a problem, but it just pulls paper through, without any printing...
    I don't have other colors than black, and I want to print grayscale photos, black&white text etc. but it just won't work :-(...
    I have Windows XP installed...
    What should I do?
    Thanks in advance!

    Printing from memory card is OK??
    Maybe its a driver problem
    Try this:
    x:/util/ccc(x = the cd that came with the printer or your cd drive) under the ccc folder look for Uninstall_L1.bat and Uninstall_L2 double click on each of the file to uninstall the driver. and it might ask you to restart. After restart reload the cd and install the driver back..

  • IPhoto  + Mobiles accounts = Huge Problems - Please Help!

    I administer an Apple XServe on a primary school with leopard fully updated.
    We have about 20 macbook laptops which login using the wireless network and a number of hard wired iMacs.
    Five of those laptops are being used by teachers who want to take their laptops at home. So I have created mobile accounts for them. But since I've done that we've been having endless problems with syncing!
    I have configured them to sync every 10minutes and also during login and logout.
    Even if they have synced already the login/logout times are extremely long and during syncing iPhoto keeps duplicating it's libraries!!!
    I have tried to completely remove the network accounts and do them from scratch but eventually the problems come up.
    I am not thinking to completely disable the mobile accounts, create a local account for them and ask them to use USB sticks to transfer files to their network directories!
    Any experts on mobile accounts please help!

    I just do sync ONLY at log out (as all other times the process is toooo slow and gets in the way and the process is always painfully slow(that's why I leave the building) - the only time I do a sync at log in, is when I have been using my laptop over the weekend for example and I need changes on desktop. That is not a fun Monday morning as its - 1. log out laptop (wait ages for checking - sync the few small changes I made) 2. log in desktop (wait ages for checking - sync the few small changes I made) - sometimes it would be better to use a USB stick !
    I also noted that the iPhoto library checking is slow and if you ever open iPhoto and even if you do not do anything the entire library will sync again, I think this is due to it being a package, much like iCal backup files (they are a mega pain)
    getting right what you do and do not sync is an art in itself, but I need to sync iPhoto library however I am very careful and only open iPhoto now when I need to.
    I continue to be amazed at how slow checking is, I am sure this should be super fast (I heard it was in 10.4)
    anyway im over to Snow Leopard this week I wonder if it will be any better

  • 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!!!

  • C7250 Printer, Black color print problem

    All colors except black perform well.  The black prints light and dark (normal) usually on alternate lines, sometimes at random throughout the document.  Have tried replacing cartridge and cleaning print heads (three times).  Also cleaned contacts on printer and cartridge.  Seems like a partial blockage, any suggestions?

    You might be accurate in your analysis.  I inspected the cartridges and the label on top of the black cartridge is centered under the slot of the receiver, but the color cartridge is off-center to the left of the slot.  I removed the color cartridge and re-inserted it but it still isn't lined up as the black is.  Can a novice make any adjustment without damaging the printer head?
    It would appear there is an issue with either the latch or the capping station.  In either case it would be best to have HP service the unit if it is still under warranty.  To Contact HP click here, or in the US call 1-800-HPINVENt.
