Laserjet cp 1025nw - in linux pictures too dark, print can be blur by hand

Hello,
I have bought LJ CP 1025NW to work in my mostly linux based network. Iam disapointed by prints it produce from linux systems. Text documents are good, but when I try to print picture, it is too dark. And if I use (hp laser) photopaper, pictures can by blur by hand, it contains waste toner. But when I use windows machine with windows drivers, it prints quite good quality photos (for laser printer).
Is there a way to force linux drivers have similar results as windows ones?
Regards,
JR

Hello there @JR_Ewing!
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
I understand your getting some quality issues when printing photos from the Linux operating system to your LaserJet CP 1025NW printer.  If the printer is printing the photos from Windows operating system OK and the self test report print fine, then the only thing I can really do is refer you to the Ubuntu Forums.  
I hope this helps!  Thanks again for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Pictures too dark - not a monitor calibration problem

    I believe this is some kind of color space or EXIF data issue I'm having. The jist of it is this: if I view one of my pictures (they're in jpg format) in Windows Explorer, they look fine. But when Lightroom opens the picture or displays it in the library, it looks too dark. (Important note: this is not a monitor calibration issue. Searching on Google reveals tons of advice along these lines, but that's not what's happening here. Lightroom is simply displaying things differently than anything else.)
    Photoshop had this problem also, but Adobe supplied a patch that made Photoshop ignore the color space EXIF data so my pictures would display "correctly". There does not seem to be any such equivalent fix for Lightroom. I'm using Windows XP - perhaps there's something I can do in the OS to fix this issue? I believe most of my pictures are sRGB.
    How do I get Lightroom to display my pictures correctly? They are, of course, impossible to edit while they display like this. Thanks in advance for any help!

    Thanks for the responses. I freely admit I don't understand color management. I also admit I have not calibrated my monitor. I know, therefore, that my colors are not perfectly synchronized across all my devices - and I'm fine with that for the moment, because they are close enough. What comes out of my camera, what is displayed on my monitor, and what comes out of my printer are all pretty close. I will calibrate soon and get even closer, but for now perfect color isn't my chief concern.
    My problem is not that the colors don't match, it's that the pictures are too dark when displayed in Lightroom. By "too dark", I mean several stops of exposure too dark. A picture will display a certain way on my camera and in Windows, and the histogram reflects this. Then I load it into Lightroom, and while the histogram looks the same of course, the picture itself is being displayed like I took it at night. Hence, as far as I can tell, it's not a monitor calibration issue. If I were to calibrate the monitor to display the pictures in Lightroom correctly, everything else would look too bright, wouldn't it? Including Lightroom itself. Besides, it wouldn't be possible to brighten my monitor to the point that the pictures looked acceptable - that's how dark they are.
    Here's another clue: if I'm at work, and I RDP to my PC at home, and open Lightroom in the RDP session, everything looks great. So, I'm thinking it's a Windows color space issue of some kind. The question is, since I admit I don't know much about color space, what might be the problem and how might I fix it?
    So to summarize: incorrect color calibration isn't my problem (though I know it's something I have to do if I ever want to perfectly match output on my monitor and printer). The colors across all my devices are close enough for my purposes. Incorrect color isn't my problem at all. The problem is that Lightroom on my PC displays pictures as if most of the histogram was on the left, even when that's not the case. The pictures in Lightroom look nothing like they look on my camera, in Windows Explorer, or when printed on my printer. Why is that, and what can I do to fix it? Thanks.

  • PC-CAM 600, freezes when taking regular camera pictures - too dark

    I just started having this problem. I'll take a picture and it freezes and won't even let me shut the camera off. When it actually does take a picture - in plenty of light or with the flash inside, the pictures are so dark i can't make them out.
    When i am on yahoo instant messenger (which is the only way i can even use my camera anymore it seems) the picture quality is perfect.
    My system crashed a week ago and i also lost my web cam center software but i can't seem to get a hold of anyone at support that can send me a new disc. Its driving me crazy! If anyone knows what i can do, please let me know!

  • All fotos with my iphone 3gs are too dark  what can I do?

    all fotos with my iphone are too dark. I can optimize them with picasa form google, but that is boring. Can I somehow adjust  the iphone?

    Check the Audio settings in Captivate.  You may need to increase the gain value.
    Is this a USB microphone?

  • Youview picture too dark - On Demand buffering pro...

    Hi - I'm new to Youview but not to BT Broadband.  So when my Humax box arrived Thursday I had everthing installed and working with 20 minutes.  I have a 3 year old Sony 32 inch Freeview TV (not latest tech but with HDMI) - so was looking forward to HD, on demand and programme recording - all in one package.   So really disappointed with some of the basic problems.   
    i)The standard Freeview output from the Humax box is nowhere near as sharp as the Sony internal Freeview - and the picture is much much darker (from all sources, HD , on Demand).  I have to increase brightness from 60% to 100% to get a similar picture -  
    ii)Despite resetting my home hub checking my broadband speed (6Mb) and all connections (and tunring off my PC and all other devices) every time I try and watch On Demand or Catch up I get significant buffering problems and picture freezing completely.  This is across all th eplayers BBC ITV C5 ect.  
    iii)The Humax box has locked up twice while in buffering mode - and can only be sorted by turning power off.  This has been of an eveing mostly - so the Broadband may be busier - but its either the Humax or the BT BB service.  The same thing has happened in testing this morning. 
    Any ideas- is the picture issue fixable in the Humax box? And can anything be done to sort out the buffering on the various players - as this doesn't seem to be a Broadband service issue?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Chris - I was using powerline adaptors but tonight moved the BT hub downstairs and directly connected. Still the same buffering problems - even though the BT speed tests are consistently showing download speed of over 6Mb. - I have managed to get this up from 5Mbps by installing an iPlate and some minor wiring changes. The lock-up hasn't happened again though - but the 4oD service keeps telling me I haven't enough bandwidth. I've been testing the same show from Sunday night to keep parameter changes to a minimum. I have actually now connected my PC in the attic office back up using the powerline adapters in reverse - and am still getting download speeds to the PC at over 6Mbps! We don't have other PCs in use and I have turned off this PC when trying to use Youview on demand. So its is either the BT Home hub or broadband service that won't keep streaming at the download speed - or the Humax box and player apps that haven't got enough processing power to accept the data. I have just completed some more tests and at 10pm my speed had dropped to 5 mbps - but surely that should still be Ok to use on demand? Frustrating - and can't see an easy solution as I've deployed all the helpful hints and tips on the various forums.

  • Picture too dark

    Why when i print a photo from windows my photo prints just fine.  when i print the VERY SAME photo from photoshop elements it is very very very dark.  Also Why is there such a difference in color from what is shown in photoshop to what prints?????

    I'm not familiar with that camera, but you can check if there's an exposure compensation.  It's possible you turned it all the way down.   You can also try a factory reset just in case you changed some setting.  Go into the MENU, go to Set Up, select Reset All and press SET.

  • Finished Project DVD picture too sharp?  Almost motion blur

    I just did a test burn of my first iDVD project and I found that the video had this very crisp motion blur. The footage is of a band performing with lots of strobe lighting and what not. But it is even noticeable when the band members move around the stage with vigor during a close up of them. Anyway, not knowing too much about video makes me wonder if this video were interlaced before being burned if it would make a difference when viewed.
    If the benefits of interlacing a video do indeed apply here, how would I go about that with my existing process of : DV file, iMovie, and than iDVD.
    THanks!

    Basically, what I think the issue is is that I need to interlace the video somehow before burning. Is it not true that deinterlaced videos look the best on progressive scan TV's? cause I dont have one of those. Anyway, there is a nasty motion blur due to the image being too 'crisp' and sharp. Any clearer now? Any one have any advice? thanks!

  • Printout is too dark. PSE 7, Windows Vista

    Hi,
    My name is JPSingh. After editing when I print the photo is darker than the display. This does not happen when printing the same image with the same printer driver when I use Microsoft Office Picture Manager and Canon Easy Photo PrintX.  The settings in Photoshop are:
    Edit/Color Settings: No Color Setting or Always Optimize for Printing (does not affect print- still too dark),   Print Color Managem
    ent: Color Handling/ Photoshop manages color, Printer Preference: Canon MX850/ Color Intensity: Manual, Printer Profile:created by C
    olorMunki (works with other photo editing programs), Rendering Input: Perceptual
    Browser: Firefox
    Operating System: Windows Vista
    Printer model / driver version: Canon MX850
    Video display card / driver version: Windows/System32/drivers
    Would like to hear soon.

    Try using Color Management as : Printer Manages Color and check whether it makes any difference.

  • Photos received in Facebook are too dark

    Photos posted in albums on Facebook by friends are often too dark to identify the people. However, other people can go on Facebook and view the same album on their computers and they are fine. I use Firefox on a Mac OS X, version 10.4.11.
    It happens frequently, but not with every photo in their album. Some will be OK and others are dark, but it is only on my computer that some are too dark.

    This can be caused by a problem with the color profile for your display monitor or color profiles embedded in images.<br />
    You can disable color management to test that.<br />
    You can set the pref gfx.color_management.mode to 0 on the about:config page to disable Color Management.<br />
    You need to close and restart Firefox to make the change effective.<br />

  • The Godfather DVD is way too dark

    I've tried changing monitor and calibrations settings but nothing helps much. It's just way too dark, I can barely make out faces and objects, especially during night scenes.
    Any suggestions?
    I have the 2001 DVD Collection.

    Have you also adjusted the settings in DVD Player? Go to Window/Video Color for the Brightness, Contrast, Color, and Tint controls.
    If your normal desktop looks fine, you should not have to change any monitor settings.

  • Printouts too dark on Laserjet CP2025, HP Basic Color Match tool crashes.

    I recently purchased an HP Color LaserJet CP2025, but my prints are coming out extremely dark causing me to have to use extreme brightness/contrast increases when printing pictures.
    I tried using the HP Basic Color Match tool hoping it would address the issue, but ever time I get to the color match choice option the program crashes.
    I'm using 32-bit WinXP Pro.

    Here is a link  to a document that addresses print quality issues for your model or printer. It will give you troubleshooting steps to try in an attempt to correct the quality output issue that you are having with the printer. One of the topics covered in the article is how to adjust print density settings if the pages are printing too dark. It also covers how to change other print settings based on the quality of your output. I hope that this helps.

  • LaserJet Pro CM1415FN - Prints are too dark!

    Hi, 
    The brightness and colors I see on my screen of the picture I'm printing does not correspond to what I get out from my printer (LaserJet Pro CM1415FN). 
    How can I adjust the colors of the prints to make them look like what I see on the screen?
    Right now I have to photoshop everything (make it brighter) before printing, which is annoying. 
    There is something called HP Basic Color Match, but I couldn't find a driver for my computer. 
    I'm using Win 7 64-bit. 
    Please help!
