Just want to print

I'm using an HP OfficeJet to do my family prints that aren't going on display at art museums in new york. No matter that I tell LR 3 that the printer will manage the color, prints are horribly dark. So, I print to jpg, spark up Photoshop Elements 2, and print beautifully.
I am so in love with managing and retouching photos in LR. The nonsense with printing from LR (that a great many people seem to be experiencing) is scandalous.If I can produce jpgs from the print module that print fine with scanky old software, there's something going on that should be avoidable. I don't have hair to pull out, so I'm not only throwing away photo paper, but my frustration is building. Does anyone have a simple formula to get LR to let go and just print?

If you want your printer to manage the colors you have to do two things:
1) tell LR that the printer manages colors (you did that)
2) tell your printer (in the printer dialog box) that it should manage the colors, i.e. usually just choosing sRGB but not "Application manages colors"
Vice versa:
If you want LR to manage colors do two things
1) tell LR to manage the colors
2) tell your printer (in the printer's dialog box) that the colors are "application managed".
Having said that, why don't you let LR manage the colors? You'll probably get better prints that way.

Why does my printer automatically go to send a fax when I just want to print?

Why does my printer automatically go to send a fax when I just want to print?

Hi pa_tom,
In your printers folder on your computer, is the default printer set to your printer, or your printer- fax?

I installed 4.0 and cannot print anything. I uninstalled and installed 3.6 and cannot print anything. Everything has a .tif extension and wants me to save the file and I just want to print a selection from my email!

I have had nothing but grief since I upgraded to 4. It is hateful. I can't print anything. If I highlight something from a website or my email and tell the printer to just print the selection, it doesn't print. It wants me to save the the file and they all have a .tif extension and nothing will print. I have uninstalled 4 and gone back to 3.6 and the problem is still there. If I highlight the desired selection and copy it to Word 2003, it will print what I want, but I can't print anything from the browser itself. That is the only problem I'm aware of so far. I upgraded about a week ago at most, maybe less than that. I'm so sorry I did. Why can't I print anything? I don't want my selection to be a file, I just want it to print!

Thank you, but it didn't work. My printer stays on away, independently of the PC. I can print from Chrome and IE7 with no problem but not Firefox. The .tif extension refers to a tagged image something. I went looking around in the control panel and I found that Microsoft Office has it's own Access Snapshot Viewer. My company installed Office 2003 on my PC but I only use Word in my work. This snapshot viewer was listed in the control panel under Printers and Faxes. It was not the default anything but for some reason, Firefox 4 installation must have kicked it into gear. I've had the Office software for several months with not one problem. I have Firefox4 for less than a week and everything becomes difficult. I deleted the Office snapshot viewer (hope I don't get fired for it) so my little HP printer is the only one listed and now things seem to be working okay. I have FF 3.6 back up and running. I didn't lose any data and I hope the support and security updates stay available for a long time because it seems like there are plenty of people who aren't in love with FF4. Thank you so much anyway for your help.

When I print out any web page, I get date/time at the bottom. I just want to print the date , what format do I use in page setup custom box ??

I want to print just the time at the bottom of my printed page
what format do I input into Page Setup>Custom box
What ever I input it is shown in the actual format that I have input
i.e date is shown as date not 28/06/2010
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I do not know much on this subject. But check Window to see if
all the languages you need are listed. Then check your other
programs that, like Firefox, have their own language files.

How do I specify that I just want to print pg 1 to 2 not the rest of doc

I'm new to apple and not sure how I specify which pages to
print there doesn't seem to be a print preview in the sense I
can specify and define what I want to print of a document.
I found the 'grab' feature/crosshairs to locate on a portion of
a page so I can print a portion of one page yet doesn't give me
a range selector to specifically set it to certain no. of pages.
Even if I have two page document I like to have the control
to print one page so i can turn page over and print the 2nd
page of a document versus having a bunch of one sided
printed pages. Is there a double side print feature? Where do I
find these settings in the Leopard 10.5 o/sys? Intuitively I'd think
File print yet I wasn't able to come up with it as yet?

When the print dialog box comes up, the default looks pretty small. However, there is a button that looks like a triangle next to the pull down menu where it says "Printer:". This will give you some more options, including being able to print pages in a specific range.
Should say Pages: From # to #.

Frustrated, ... I just want to print!

I want to select several photographs, and have the photographs printed in 4x6 format 3 per page. Ideally, I would like to manually scale and orient the photographs before printing. How can I do this?

The only way to do this within Aperture, as I am aware, is to make a book layout with the design you are looking for. Once designed, you can print just that one page. Not a great system, but I hear it works.
There is no current way to do something like this from the traditional print interface within Aperture.
You could also export and use a third-party printing solution, I suppose.

Re: Why does my printer automatically go to send a fax when I just want to print?

I just installed and then uninstalled a Canon printer to my computer. Now, I cannot print. When I go to print, it takes me to a fax page. My 6600 is designated as the default printer. Please help.

Welcome to the HP Forums okbyme,
I see by your post that the printer is set as the default printer, but when trying to print it defaults to the fax driver.
I can help you with this issue.
Clear out the print spool folder.
How to Clear Current Print Queue In Windows Vista & Windows 7.
From the application, go to file, print and select the printer in the print dialogue box to see if it will print.
Try opening the application, go to file, print, right click on the printer driver and select set as default.
Close the window and try again to see if the default printer changed back again.
If you are not actively using your Fax driver then remove it from your Devices and Printers folder.
The only other option would be to fully uninstall and reinstall the printer software. The printer driver might have become corrupted.

Just want to print some photos!!

Hi
When i save my photos to a usb and take them to a photo shop to print it's telling me there are no photos on file. I think i'm exporting them correctly to the usb because when i open the usb on my computer there are photos showing up. i also tried this with a cd but still no photos were being read on it. i have taken the usb to 3 different photo shops and its saying the same thing "no photos found". I'm saving them as a JPEG file, Is there a different format these are suppose to be saved as?
Cheers

Have you tried reading them on a Windows based computer? Could you have formatted the USB stick and CD for Macintosh only?
Did you use the finder, preview or iPhoto to verify the pictures on the media? You might have saved a little iPhoto library that other software may not understand.

I just want to print

pages from the internet that are in adobe and they they will not print or save. So I have to buy something in order to do that?

Does that happen for any PDF docs, e.g. http://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/help/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_10.1.3.pdf ?

C410a thinks I want to print photos when I want to just print paper. Won't feed regular paper.

The printer thinks I want to print photos when I just want to print papre. The Photo Printing light is on. Won't feed regular paper.

You could use the iPrint App to accomplish this. The following thread has links to show how to install and use the iPrint App for Android, iPhone, and iPod products.

I have a hp photosmart c4780 and i want to print from my new ipad. is this at all possible?

I have an HP Photosmart c4780 all in one printer. I know it doesnt have eprint so I installed the HP home and biz app. Im stuck and cannot figure out how to print from my IPAD. Is this at all possible? I just want to print "pages" documents from my IPAD to my HP PHotosmart c4780. How do I do this?

Hi rorybird,
The HP ePrint Home & Biz app, which is a free download from the App Store, supports many "legacy" printers, so it should work for you.

If I have a document that is 10 pages and I only want to print pages 2.4.6 how can i select just those. The selection button is grayed out

i want to print only selected pages not the whole document.. HELP

Firefox allows printing of a'' range of pages'', for example, page 2 to 5. But not a non-contiguous set of pages.
Firefox allows you to print a ''selection'', but by that Firefox means the part of the page you selected with the mouse or keyboard, so again, a continuous range.
If you don't want to print 3 times, I suggest using a PDF printer driver as an intermediary. Then you can print any individual pages you like using the much more full-featured print dialog in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat.
If you do not have one, here are two free PDF printer drivers I have used:
* PrimoPDF - http://www.primopdf.com/
* PDF Creator - http://www.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator
If you are just printing for quick reference and don't mind a "trial edition" banner on your PDF, I really like this one due to its handy preview-before-save feature:
* pdfFactory - http://fineprint.com/pdf/

Depends to some extent what application you're printing from, and what printer you're using, but here's the dialogue box for ⌘P in Firefox -
Note the option to print selection only.
Haven't looked before, but I can't find anything similar in Pages print options.
It does appear in Word though.

Is your HP printer wireless? If so, no wire.
If it isn't plug it in using the cable it came with. Simple.
