Is anyone successfully printing from Lightroom 4 on an iPF5000 printer?

My iPF5000 prints fine from Photoshop 6, but not LR4. The photos just get qeued up when I click "print" in LR. In photoshop I use the "export" command to access the printer driver and everything works as it should.
I can select the printer and the paper profiles while in LR but the image never gets sent to the printer, at least that's what I think happens as the "Online" light on the iPF5000 never starts blinking.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
JD

I think you are right. They never get to the printer. Does it print text from other software?
I use both PS and LR but I don't see any reason for either to intercept and stop your photos from being printed.
Are you sure you have all the correct setting in LR? You might want to double check.

Has anyone successfully printed on Konica Minolta Magicolor 2530DL on Mac OS X 10.9

Has anyone successfully printed on the Konica Minolta Magicolor 2530DL after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.9?
Also has anyone successfully printed on the Epson EPL-5700i after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.9?

I realize that most people tend to visit the forums to report problems rather than visit the forums to report successes after an upgrade. And I appreciate John Blanchard1's taking the time to reply to my posting.
Dakoda mentions problems printing to a Konica Minolta C280 and the thread that John Blanchard1 posted refers to problems printing to both Konica Minolta BizHubs (C652 & 501).
However, the existence of these problems with other KM printer models does not let me know if anyone has been successful printing to the Konica Minolta Magicolor 2530DL after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.9 or even if anyone has had a problem with printing to the 2530DL after upgrading to 10.9.
On October 28, 2013, a Konica Minolta technical support agent told me -- after checking with his supervisor -- that regarding the Konica Minolta Magicolor 2530DL that they will not be upgrading the 2530DL printer driver. In fact they have not upgraded the driver since 10.6. I learned on their support site that the 10.6 driver has continued to work with 10.7 and 10.8. They have not yet updated their support site for compatibility of their line of printers with 10.9.
So I would like to find evidence that this printer has continued to work for someone after the upgrade to 10.9 rather than upgrade and then have to downgrade to still be able to use this printer.

Anyone successfully ePrint from iPhone using VPN?

Hi,
Just got an HP C410A ... set it up (wired and Wi-Fi), can print to it from my Mac.
If I connect my iPhone 4 (yes, with the printing firmware to my LAN (via VPN and Wi-Fi),
I can see my Mac (and telnet into it ... but the airprint stuff in the iPhone can't find any printers.
Any suggestions?
BTW, I'm assuming what should happen if it ever successfully talks to the printer is that I'll somehow
get prompted for the printer's "email address" to verify I have the right to access it.
But, if that's the case, why does the config page on the printer ask for a predefined list of *my* email addresses? Is that
for some other feature? (E.g., ability to email a print job to the printer?)
thanks!

windrunner...
I think you're right, some soon-to-be-working-at-Oracle employee mis-designed the **bleep** thing to
shut off the Wi-Fi when a LAN cable gets plugged in.
This, of course, is completely contrary to the stated-on-the-box capabilities of the printer ("has wired and wireless
networking" ... doesn't say "wired OR wireless").
Sigh ... I'll submit a problem report, but I suspect nothing will happen.
In my environment, the Wi-Fi is in a DMZ, and the wired is in a trusted area. My desktop needs the wired
connection to print, and my iPhone / iPad needs the wireless. So, I currently have to unplug the wire whenever
I want to print from the iPhone/iPad, and plug it back in when I'm done.
I'd deduced eprint was implemented via email after a test. We've used something similar for a few years
with our Konica Minolta BizHub. It's a shame HP didn't work with Apple to support ePrint on the iPhone/iPad
in addition to airprint. (ePrint's advantage over airprint is the same as for email vs. web "mail" pages ...
it removes the need for both devices to be alive and communicating at the same time.)
BTW, yes, the HP C410A does support Airprint. After configuring our WiFi access point to allow devices to see each other,
my iPhone (iOS 4.2) was able to find the the C410 and print on it! (It doesn't use the email-based ePrint.)
I hate to think what's going to happen to either of the internet methods (wired/wireless) if I plug in a USB cable
My position: the printer should work while simultaneously plugged into a wired network, a computer via a USB cable,
and connected to a WiFi access point. (Naturally, if one of the three is talking to the printer, it would look busy to the
other two.) This isn't rocket science here, after all

Has anyone successfully migrated from mobileme to iCloud?

If so I'd like to hear how it went for you and if there were any gotcha's you had to overcome. I'm updated all my mac's to 10.7.2 and my devices to iO5 so I've just got to start the move.
The only thing I was / am concerned about is losing keychain sync and mailbox sync but for the former I manage all my web password using 1password and dropbox and for the latter I tend to have different mailboxes set up on different devices, so no sweat.
Is there anything else?
Ta
VP.

Hi,,
I finally got up the nerve to migrate today - like many, I was terrified after everything I'd read here.
It all went very smoothly - touch wood..
First I had to upgrade my Mac from SnowLeopard to Lion. That took a few hours, but it went OK.
I backed up my contacts and ical to be on the safe side. ( Note: ALL of the calendars, i.e. 'work', 'home', if you have more than one need to be backed up)
Then I logged into MobileMe and I was invited automatically to migrate to iCloud.
I think the only bit of advice I can give is to those of us who did use Mobile Me - and that's to use your mobile me user ID ([email protected]) and not your Apple ID (like we use to log on here) with all of your devices when you migrate. A terrible lack of clarity on Apple's part around that seems to cause a lot of problems.. Indeed when I upgraded my iphone to ios5 my Apple ID was sitting in the iphone's icloud account by default, waiting for me to add my password and migrate. I did actually use it at first, naturally thinking it must be the one I should use... result - an icloud account with no ical or contacts on it.
I deleted it and started again using my mobile me ID once I had migrated to icloud on my Mac and it went smoothly across all my other devices (ipad, iphone and MB air)
There seems to be some idea around the forum that to sync itunes across devices with icloud you need to open another icloud account using the Apple ID you use for buying from iTunes. To be honest I don't really care about syncing my music, so I haven't worked out if that's true or not.
The weird part for me is - how would I know anyway if my itunes purchases are in the cloud or not? How does one find out, short of making a purchase and seeing if it appears elsewhere?
Good luck..!

Dark prints from lightroom

I cannot find a solution to my problem anywhere else so I hope someone here can help me.
When I print from lightroom all my prints come out too dark. When printing from photoshop cs3 or the windows picture viewer the prints are fine. I am printing on a kodak easyshare5500. The printer driver does not allow color management to be turned off, it offers 2 color space options and I have tried both with no success.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to improve my prints from lightroom.

Hi Jason,
I have only two suggestions for you:
1. From Lightroom Open in Photoshop CS3 and print from there. ( a bit of a nuisance, but less of a nuisance than a ruined print and yet another wasted sheet of paper.)
2. I do not know the Kodak easyshare5500 printer or the size that it can print. Make and save a few copies of your pictures from Lightroom with different values on the exposure slider. Then print them all on one sheet and pick the one that looks best. That will also work for your next print too. I always find that my Canon printer tends to print a good bit darker than what I see on screen, so I have got into the habit of boosting exposure before printing. (and that is with a calibrated monitor etc etc etc.)

Printing from Lightroom (2.5 - 3) into Adobe Acrobat 9

I just wanted to post that I have been searching for an answer about errors when printing from Lightroom to Acrobat. When I went to Win7 64 bit Professional and CS5 Design Premium two weks ago - all the problems started.
Looking at the forums - I found several others with similar problems in a 64 bit environment. I tried their suggestions and none helped. I called Adobe this past week and spent 3 hrs on the phone to be told they didn't have a solution but would get back with me (one can only hope). I upgraded to Lightroom 3 hoping that would solve it and it has not.
When collecting images and going to Print, then printing into Acrobat as a 2/2 cell contact sheet, no images are embedded. In Lightroom 3, a clean sheet appears. Has anyone else experienced this? Even when using a new tiny catalog, the same result occurs.
I am running a PC with quad processor, 4 Gigs of RAM, NVidia graphics card that is two years old - all newest drivers for 64 bit. SATA drives, dedicated scratch disk... etc.
The catalog is new and tiny.
The images are small for testing purposes (only about 6 at 300 dpi).
Luckily, I can do a work-around using Bridge but I use Lightroom for processisng photos and sending contact sheets to clients and need this function. Any help would be much appreciated. If you are having the same problem, please call Adobe and report it.

Ok, I've run some tests: files with full native Canon 30D images (RAW) that had been edited in LR 3 and followed the set up given by Adobe. It failed. Some of the pics came in and retained their file names and some showed just file names and blanks for the pic space. Ok, I'll run more tests and come back to this.
I tend to edit, make JPGs (6 x 4 at 300dpi) and then import those and set up the contact sheet. Running full bore - as explained above, it doesn't work.I'll try multiple JPGs to see if that works.
I'll go back into discussions with Adobe. Their support page is convoluted and expensive. I began under the upgrade of CS5 and Lightroom 3. I'll try again.
I do recommend, if possible, that you edit/resize and control your resolution (I set up the printer box in LR for 200 dpi) and then make your contact sheets as per their instructions. You also might try limiting how many sheets your make to see how that works. Create one sheet, then two, etc. so you can see where the cutoff is for your system. I'm afraid some of this may be hardware and how much info you are asking to be transferred from LR to the PDF.
It is very odd that some are coming in and some are not. There is definitely something flaky in Lightroom to Acrobat. I suspect the coding may not be set up to handle 64 bit and that's why it's failing. As far as I know, the only software that is full 64 bit, at present, if Photoshop. The others are running under the 32 bit environment within a 64 bit OS of Win7.
Is this not true?

Printing Issuse From Lightroom 4 To Canon Pixma Pro 9000 MK II

I have been trying to print from Lightroom 4 to a Canon Pixma Pro 9000 MK II. Whenever I try to print via the front try (for canvas) I get an error message (code 1281) and I cannot print. I have tried a few different papers as well as canvas and all of them give the same error code.
I have also tried printing from Elements 9 with the same problem.
I can print via the front try using Canon's own software, Easy Print Pro, but I cannot soft proof the image first and I cannot the the correct size of image either.
Does anyone have any idea how I can get round this problem?
I have spoken to Canon and they have passed the buck saying that as I can print using thier software it is an Adobe issue.
Printer: Canon Pixma Pro 9000 MKII
Software: Adobe Lightroom 4
Operating System: Lion OSX

The final answer was as per Rikk Flohr's instructions,
Lightroom>Print Module
Print Settings button Bottom Left-hand Panel
Set the Center Pull-down to Quality and Media
Paper Source: Front Tray
I was having difficulty finding these previously, thanks Rikk.

Blurb print from Lightroom seems to be 150 ppi, how can I fix it?

I uploaded a small book directly from Lightroom to Blurb and when I received it, the print quality was atrocious.
I've been going back & forth with Blurb support, but they don't seem to be able to answer my question.
I did a bit of troubleshooting on my own by saving the project as .pdf and .jpg rather than exporting it to Blurb. The .pdf and .jpg exports look fine and print fine at home.
As an experiment, I tried reducing the ppi on the .pdf export to 150. This .pdf looks a exactly like the books that came from blurb.
Customer support has offered to re-print the books, but I'm concerned that I will get the same product unless we change something.
Has anyone encountered this problem before?
Does anyone know of settings (print, pdf export, etc) that impact the Blurb upload from Lightroom, or is this entirely on Blurb's side of things?
Should I just punt on the direct Lightroom export and upload the 300 ppi .pdf to Blurb?

Hi,
I am not sure that that is right as when I have printed books they have been 300ppi, have a look at: Use Blurb and profiles
And "Blurb prints at 300 dpi. If an image is less than 300 dpi, a warning icon appears in the upper-right corner of the image cell in the preview area."

Printing from Aperture, and printing from Lightroom.

Hello,
I have noticed when I print from Aperture using my Canon i9950 and a custom paper Colorsync profile, and if I then print from Adobe's Lightroom using the same Colorsync profile and paper, the print from Lightroom is much sharper. The Aperture print is exact in every respect except it is noticeably softer.
Anyone else notice this? And if so is this a recognised problem that may be fixed in 1.1?
Kind regards,
Anil K Solanki

Hi Charles, I totally agree with you. Lightroom's printing features are really excellent. In comparison Aperture almost seems like the printing of photographs was something the Aperture dev team bolted on at the last minute.
I sincerely hope Apple sort out, what for me is inexcusable in a professional commercial app. A few photographers I know are going to use the next release of Aperture as a turning point, if it can't print as good as the Beta Lightroom then they will become Lightroom users and say good bye to Aperture.
Apertures sorting and logging tools really are second to none, but if the print quality is poor, what is the point. I know for a large number of photographers, producing prints is not high on their list of needs, especially if they are supplying prints for publication or the web. But if I want to do what my old fashioned enlarger can do, which is create great prints, then hey I am not going to get it with Aperture.
I know Apple can fix this, I just hope they do.
Anil.

Prints from Lightroom darker then from PS CC

I normally print from Lightroom using profiles created with a Spyder Print on an Epson stylus pro 4880 using Brilliant Lustre paper. My monitor is calibrated at 120cd/m2. Color management in the printer driver is off. All settings are correct (at least I checked them several times and found no error). The Softproof using the appropriate profile does look OK. However, my prints are always darker then the Softproof.
Now I printed the same image from PS CC using the same settings as in Lightroom and the print was OK and matched the Softproof.
Does anyone have a clue what is the reason for the difference between Lightroom and PS?

@JIm Nice to hear that your prints match your soft proof very well. However, this does not mean that all profile under all permutations work well. And no, I did not overlook anything. I know my color management settings in LR and an my printer drivers very well.
@Bob The Canson profile generated with a x-rite work on my system. The profiles generated with datacolor hard- and software print too dark. My monitor calibration is as supposed (120cd/m2, 6500K and a gamma of 2.2). In any case this would not explain why some profiles seem to work while other don't. I am familiar with e.g. Keith's articles: Why are my prints too dark

How do I Print Accurate Color from Lightroom?

I just got my Epson 3880 2 weeks ago. The problem I am having is getting accurate color when printing from Lightroom. I am running a p.c. with Windows 8.1. To eliminate my monitor as the problem, I created a series of color patches in Photoshop, printed them and read them in using the X-Rite Color Munki Photo. Here is a list of thing I have done:
1) I chose Lightroom manages color, chose the appropriate icc profile in Lightroom, chose the appropriate paper in the printer dialogue box, and choose no color management in the printer dialogue box. The results are as follows:

Printing from Windows Photo Viewer – Printer Manages Color
Did I miss something in the Lightroom print section?
Message was edited by: David Nestico. Rather than just posing a list of numbers, I summarized what I thought was important. All data is there in case someone smarter than me can make more sense of it :)

I thought my problem could be Lightroom is in ProphotoRGB color space, and my printer is Adobe1998 color space. To test this, I changed the color space of my patches from prophoto to AdobeRGB. I checked my colors in Photoshop, and made them match the RGB number I specified. It was interesting to note that (128,128,255) had a noticeable shift to purple. the other colors shifted slightly. Now I printed the test page with Lightroom managing color and the printer managing color. Both images came out similar.
This study came about when I was printing some images, and the sky had a definite purple shift. So, I took the image into Photoshop and converted the colorspace from prophoto to Adobe. Printed the image, and the image came out much better.
So the question now is, do I need to convert each image I print in Photoshop, or am I doing something wrong in Lightroom?

I have been successfully printing from my ipad2 wirelessly to HP printer but for no apparent reason it has stopped working. Any ideas?

Hi I have been successfully printing from my ipad2 wirelessly to HP printer but for no apparent reason it has stopped . Any ideas please ?

Try clearing your printer queue. Double click the bottom button to see your active apps and scroll to find your printer app. Cancel all documents listed for printing. Hopefully you'll b able to print again. This solution worked for me recently.

Error 88 or Support Code 88 in Canon Driver printing on art paper from Lightroom

Re: Error 88 (Support Code 88) of Canon Printer Driver, using Pixma Pro9500 - April 20, 2014
I'm replying to myself from two years ago, and to the rest of you, regarding Error 88. (My question of April 2012 is in the Photoshop department of Adobe Community. For those who don't know but are reading this anyway for some reason, Error 88 is a message from the Canon Printer Driver that tells you you haven't set the paper size correctly for printing on fine-art paper. But it may appear anyway, even if your settings are correct.)
At the time I found no resolution to the problem, just a workaround: to print from Lightroom itself. Too bad this was after months of hassle and expense, including a probably fraudulent (and certainly useless) repair (supposedly replacing the Pixma's logic board and paper sensor), and the ministrations of a techie who could only conclude there was something wrong with my copy of Photoshop which provoked the Error 88. But he made me realise I could print from Lightroom, and that's what I've been doing ever since. (The possibility had never occurred to me, as my routine of printing from Photoshop was working fine.) This has been a good move after all, since Lightroom offers many advantages over PS where printing is concerned: tonal controls and more in Develop, and the possibility of creating a Saved Print.
But to print from Lightroom, I had to crop my printing files to the image. (In PS I had always created a document the same size as the paper I planned to use – A4 or A3+ – and positioned the image where I wanted, with margins all around. But in Lightroom I set margins and position in Print Mode, starting with a borderless file.) This was a bit of work, but unavoidable, and a good thing on the whole. So for a couple of years I printed in this way.
But meanwhile, my 2009 iMac was developing other problems, and finally I had to replace it. (After only two or three years of use, it was shutting down spontaneously, a problem no one was able to resolve, about which every techie has a different opinion, and about which Apple is completely mute and unresponsive; thank you Apple Computer for your supposedly ultra-reliable products – I can only say it’s a good thing you don’t make pacemakers).
So for about ten weeks now I have a nice shiny new 2013 iMac, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Also I have the new OS Mavericks, new versions of Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5, the new Canon Driver. I have my complaints about the OS (particularly a few interface/viewing design choices that strike me as colossally stupid and unnecessary), but that's beside the point here.
Having not yet printed with the new setup (nor for a few months before), and knowing that it's good to use your Pixma now and then, I thought I'd dedicate a few hours to printing. I figured it could work out easy, since I planned to print from Saved Prints. But as soon as I hooked it all up, checked my settings, and clicked Print, I see the printer icon bouncing in the Dock with its little yellow trouble flag. I check that out and am very dismayed to see my old nemesis, Error 88, which tells me I haven't set the paper size correctly. But it's correct, of course. (As before, I'm printing on fine art paper, A3+.) Beg your pardon, Canon now calls it "Support Code 88", thinking of all the Support you'll get from them.
I tried a few of the obvious things: start/restart computer, printer, Lightroom, etc., but to no avail. Also, supposing that my Saved Prints were perhaps no longer valid in the new LR, I tried to print directly from the file, bypassing the Saved Print, but no go.
I should also note that, in Page Setup, the Default paper size “Super B/A3” (330x483mm) was new to me – seems to me you could set “A3+ Art Margins”. A3+ as I know it from the fine-art papers I use is 329x483mm anyway (also as given in Page Setup), if that makes any difference.
If it's any use, here are some particulars on the current situation:
iMac 27”, late 2013, 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB, Mac OSX 10.9.2
Lightroom 5.3 (Camera RAW 8.3)
Photoshop CS6 (version 13.0 x64)
Canon PrinterDriver_Pro9500 series_108420 (10.84.2.0)
And my settings: LR Page Setup: set “Art A3+ (Margin 35)”System Prefs/Printers & Scanners – set Default paper size “Super B/A3” (330x483mm) (found via “Format For:” in Page Setup)LR Print Settings:
Printer: Canon Pro9500 series (exclamation point – not recognized?)
Presets: Last Used Settings
Color Matching: Canon
Paper Handling: All Pages – Automatic – NO “Scale to fit paper size” (but “Destination Paper Size, though grayed out, reads “Suggested Paper: Art A3+ (Margin 35”)
Quality & Media: Media Type: Fine Art “Photo Rag” (or “FA Museum Etching” or “FA Matte”); Paper Source: Front Tray; Print Quality: High; YES Grayscale Printing
Color Options:
Color Mode: Standard; C-M-Y and Tone all left at zero
Brightness: Normal; Intensity and Contrast both left at zero
It all looks kosher to me. Does anybody know anything about this problem? I'll be very grateful.

Having problem with washed out prints only from Lightroom 5

Hi,
I have just gone over the Lightroom 5 and printing to an Epson Pro 3800. Background:
Fuly colour manage screen
Use Windows 7 64 bit
Using latest drivers
Only problem when printing from Lightroom 5, not PS CS5 or Nikon Capture NX2
Same result whether print via LR5 (with printer CM turned off) or via Printer CM (with LR5 turned off)
I cannot see any obvious issues or problems, so would be great if someone could assist!
Thanks

Now sorted - had to reinstall the drivers. Never had this before...

Color shift printing from Lightroom 1.3

Windows Vista, HP officejet Pro L7580 printer, Lightroom 1.3, Photoshop CS3. All that being said and having used Photoshop since ver 5 with a variety of printers I find myself stumped with my latest soup of hardware and software. Screen colors do not print out anywhere close on paper when I try to print from Lightroom. Move the file over via "edit in Photoshop" and print from there and everything is fine. In Photoshop, whether Photoshop or the printer controls the color there is no problem. In Lightroom, however I have no control that I can find. I have no additional profiles so the printer controls the color. Photoshop and the printer are both set to AdobeRGB1998.icc. Other then just printing from Photoshop what am I missing in Lightroom?
By the way Adobe, in the future think about either Lightroom or Bridge but not both.

Hi,
Just a reminder for those who missed that thread (I guess this fix also
applies to LR 1 although I didn't check):
[FIX] Darker prints and color shifts when printing from Lightroom 2
(this is for Windows - Mac users please look here for a similar fix:
http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr_13_print/lightroom_print.htm )
The problem :
When printing RAW or TIFF files from LR2, you get a printer output that
is much darker than it should be and that presents various color shifts.
I'm using an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 with the latest Windows driver
(6.50 - which is rather old by the way). The workaround described below
works for me under Windows XP SP3. It should also probably work with
other systems/printers/drivers. Use at your own (minor) risk.
The "official" procedure for printing from LR is as follows:
1. Do not let the printer manage colors and select "Other..." from the
profile dropdown list and select the ICC/ICM paper/printer profile that
you want to use.
2. Click on Print... in LR which opens the Print Settings dialog.
3. Select the options you need and the paper you're using.
4. *Disable the color management from the driver's side* (in Epson's
drivers, "Mode | Custom | No Color Adjustments").
5. Print
Unfortunately, *this doesn't work* for many of us and this produces a
print that is dark and has color shifts as mentioned above. Note that
the same image prints correctly from QImage or Photoshop CS3 (that is,
the printer output corresponds to what you see on your calibrated
display).
Apparently, although color management has been (allegedly) disabled in
the driver, there's something wrong between LR and the driver which
makes that both LR and the driver are still trying to manage colors. In
other words, the "No Color Adjustements" option of the driver doesn't
seem to work with LR.
The workaround (found after hours of hair pulling and paper and
expensive ink wasting):
In step #4,
1. Instead of selecting "No Color Adjustments", set Mode to "Custom |
ICM
2. Click Advanced...
3. Check "Show all profiles".
4. Select Driver ICM (Advanced)"
5. Set *both* the "Input profile" and the "Printer profile" fields to
the very same profile that you specified in LR.
That is, if you specified Pro38 PGPP (Premium Glossy Photo Paper) in LR,
then also select Pro38 PGPP in both "Input Profile" and "Printer
Profile". This has actually the same effect has disabling color
management in the driver (what "No Color Adjustements" should normally
take care of).
That's it. When printing, you'll get exactly the same color results as
when printing from QImage or Photoshop. No more dark prints. No more
color shifts.
One might think that the bug is in the Epson driver but in that case,
QImage would have the very same problem. So I tend to think that the bug
is on the Lightroom side.
Hope this helps.

Is anyone successfully printing from Lightroom 4 on an iPF5000 printer?
