Magenta Printing Issues in LR3 and CS5

Hi,
   I have seen this issues mentioned in various forms over the last year or so but I have yet to see a real solution to the problem I am now experiencing
History:
   I was running a Vista 64b OS and using LR 2.X along with Epson's r2880 printer.  I was able to print using LR 2.X without any issues both in B&W and color using the various paper iccs provided by the vendors (Moab for example)  I never had the Magenta printing issues.
Fast Forward:
   I recently installed LR3 and CS5 under the same OS (Vista 64b) and when I printed in color it is obviously Magenta heavy.   I am following the same practices as before of having LR3 manage the color (using one of the vendor iccs) and setting "No Color Managment" in the printer driver UI.  Doing this gives me terrible crazy Magenta prints.  I have un-installed and re-installed the Epson Printer drivers numerous times with no positive effect.  The causal effect was installing CS5 and LR3. These were the only changes made.
I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem and had found a solution other than switching over to a Mac.
This is very frustrating and depressing.
Thanks,
David.

Thanks for the great Feed back.  I was able to fix the printing problem by doing several things:
1) Re-install the printer drivers
2) Runnning the printer through nozzle checks and cleaning cycles. Had to peform the cleaning cycle 3 times.
3) Replacing the yellow ink cartridge.  The ink level was showing about 15% remaining but in fact I was out of yellow ink. I had read that the ink levels were not always accurate.
So for me this issue has been solved.  Thanks for the help.

    I also did try and print in CS5 with the same Magenta results.  I posted in this thread along with the LR board also as I feel the LR3 and CS5 issue is related to some common theme.

  • Installation/uninstall issues between CS4 and CS5

    I had CS4 installed. I purchased CS5 (downloaded it) installed that.  When I got the disks via mail, I tried to install that version (disk version).  I started having issues as to which program would open a .prproj file.  Often the CS4 version of Premiere Pro opened.  Not what I wanted.  I eventually uninstalled CS5 entirely and then reinstalled.  Then things were working fine.  However, I then tried to uninstall CS4.  (I have seen from numerous posts/comments to leave both on -- which I really don't know why.  Doesn't make sense to keep both versions).  I prefer not to have an extra 4GB of space used for programs I am no longer using.  However, in doing so, the uninstall didn't appear to do a perfect job.  And now I can't double-click a .prproj file.  This icon is also blank white.  I went into Set Associations and I can't assign .prproj to Premiere CS5.  In looking at the Open With window, I notice that some of the icons for other Adobe programs are all splewy (Adobe Encore is using the CS4 icon, Adobe Illustrator is using the PDF icon, Flash Catalyst is using the Air icon, etc.)
    I could: a) uninstall everything, including Adobe Acrobat Pro (which I had purchased and installed prior to CS4 or CS5) and then reinstall everything -- sheesh that would take a while; or b) I could ask my friends here to explain and guide me!

    Hi Stix, Thanks.
    I am not so positive that there is no difference between the download version vs the media version specifcially because in downloading the updates, the site demands you choose your update depending on how your software was installed.  I figured that the download would be smaller.  Perhaps you are right. And maybe it is the same, in either case, when I get a stack of disks, I tend to think there is more on the disk and the download version is merely the core applications.
    Anyway, I had to uninstall everything CS4 and CS5 and then reinstall CS5.  Oddly, this didn't automatically fix my problem.  However, at least I was able to choose Premiere CS5 to open .prproj files and check off the box to use it as the default. (I wasn't able to before).  So now it works!

  • Smart form printing issue with LOCL and SAP printer

    Hi,
    The issues are as follows:
    1. the top portion of the Invoice and PO does not print when using the SAP printer (works when using LOCL)
    2. the shaded areas of the Order Confirmation and Invoice are black when printing to a SAP printer (works when using LOCL)
    In an attempt to correct the printing issue is was suggested that we change the SAP printer device type from HPLJ4 to POST2. This did address the problem where the shaded areas were black but then we received reports that other reports printed "garbage". Its possible that using POST2 device type causes issues when printing to HP compatible printers.
    Apparently all the testing was done using the SAP printer LOCL and not the SAP printer name and SAP spool system. LOCL uses the SAP GUI and Windows system to produce the output. Our production users at the plant site and Toledo are using SAP defined printers with the device type of HPLJ4. HPLJ4 is our standard here as OC for our printer definitions and we have HP compatible printers installed in our Toledo location and all of our remote sites. We need to be able to correctly print the Invoices, Purchase Orders, Sales Order Confirmations on our SAP printers.
    What can be done to the reports to allow them to print on our HPLJ4?
    Thanks, Prathap

    Hi Prathap,
    Check the background shading of the windows of the Smartform where you get the black boxes. If it is set something like this:
       Color: White
       Saturation: 100%
    this can be the problem.
    I know it is strange but some black and white printers cannot handle this setting. They only know one color black so the ignore the color setting and just take the saturation 100% setting.
    The reason it works with local and device type SAPWIN is that the print data is created in Windows and sent to the printer as graphic.
    Please change the shading for window MAIN -> tab 'Output Options' to:
       Color: Black
       Saturation: 0%
    and this should resolve the problem.
    Then create a new spool and check if the problem is resolved. See SAP Note #400050.
    Regards,
    Aidan

  • Contribute 6.5 can not ftp after years of no issues with CS4 and CS5

    The problem
    Contribute 6.5 can not connect via ftp using settings that formerly worked (and still do) in CS4 and CS5.
    How we ended up here
    I am the administrator website where
    Our content editors have been using Contribute CS 4 and Contribute CS 5 without issue, 6+ years.
    We are trying to upgrade to CS 6.5 to better support HTML5 markup now used within the site.
    When attempting to configure a website connection in 6.5, Contribute alerts:
    "Contribute cannot find the website files on the server. Please contact the website's administrator for assistance."
    After closing the dialog box the failed connection is removed from contributes website connection list.
    We have a shared hosting account and utilize ftp to publish changes.
    Server is Win2008 with IIS 7.5
    Again it's shared hosting, so read/write ftp are scoped to our account's directory.
    We attempted this on serveral pcs including on a PC with a fresh install of Windows 7.
    We can still connect successfully via ftp with CS4, CS5, dreamweaver, and Filezilla.
    Which is why I believe this to be a Contribute 6.5 issue.
    I've attempted the following troubleshooting articles:
    Use network I/O logging to log operations, identify problems
    I compared the I/O logging for both CS5 and CS 6.5 which both appear to log the same diagnostic steps.
    Contribute FTP Server Checker (quite dated)
    All successes reported. No failures.
    Troubleshooting a Connection CS4 (linked from with CS 6.5's help UI)
    As indicated above, alternate FTP clients have no issue.
    This appears to be similar issue to the following posts:
    5301620 - HELP - FTP Connection Error with Contribute 6.5
    5907180 - Contribute 6.5 can no longer connect to sites ...
    Unfortunately, there has been no solutions posted on either of these threads.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I can PM the network I/O log details if there is adobe staff who can get them in the right hands.
    (Again the logs only show successes.)

    @Zaldomoh
    Have you found a solution or been given assistance from Adobe to resolve this issue? I'm having the same problem (CS 6.5 ftp'ing to a shared hosting enviroment). Details of our situation can be found on thread 1384686

  • Annoying mouse issues of cs6 and cs5.5 on mountain lion

    Hi everyone,
    a couple month ago, a mac pro bought, which has mountain lion. i installed cs5.5 and for a while i have started to fight with mouse issues. illustrator, indesing and photoshop, all of them has mouse lag. photoshop has also freezing when i use stamp tool, and zooming in addition. if the screen moves (when i zoom or move the work to any direction of the window or use the tool which makes the screen move), it freeze and mouse pointer starts to spininnig. sometimes it comes back for a while, sometimes not. and then noticed that, forexample zooming or stamping, if i move mouse over the window, it completes the new view and everything is back normal.
    but i can't use stamp tool as normal. it can't work fast and freezes mostly. the mouse lag occurs randomly; not only photoshop, but also indesign and illustrator. i looked at the consol messages and found this:
    1/23/13 2:41:55.108 PM WindowServer[203]: _CGXGetWindowOrderingGroup: Operation on a window 0x69 requiring rights 0x5 by caller Photoshop
    i googled it and can't found anything. when it freezes on photoshop, consol writes this message. screen never freezes indesign and illustrator. so, there is no messages. only mouse lag occurs on them.
    i try to use different combination on photoshop's graphics processor settings. but it doesn't work. now i use photoshop by making the graphic processor off.
    after that i installed cs6. but for a while, i met the same problems. i reset the photoshop, erased the preferences files. but it didn't work. after disabling graphic processor, i haven't met the freezing, but mouse issues continue in photoshop, illustrator and indesign.
    if you  need more info, just ask me.
    thank you all.

    hi,
    thanks for your answer. i don't know if it's a driver problem, or not. computer came with wireless apple magic mouse. today, i tried the old mac mouse (the ones without wheel). the same result.
    if it worked, i wouldn't use this solution. because i do not have to use old mouse. we have met those problems in windows. i NEVER change any hardware for the problems in mac osx. i LOVE apple and its products, but if it worked, there is no different windows.
    so, i don't know where is  the problem, either in macosx or in adobe products. but i'm really tired of this..
    i guess this problem because of the video card: ati hd 5700. their website has not any driver for this card suit for mac os.
    appreciate any help..  

  • Print options epson 3880 and CS5

    I cannot set the paper type or size on my Epson Stylus Pro 3880 from my CS5 print menu on my Mac OS10.6.3OS. I have reinstalled and gotten updates ... controls are absent? Anyone?

    I have 10.6.4 and File - Print brings up the Print Dialogue Box no problem.
    Maybe an update to 10.6.4 would help?
    I updated before adding CS5 but CS3 works OK as well so may be an OS issue.
    Don't know what else it could be.

  • Color change printing in Photoshop CS4 and CS5

    I have an Epson Stylus R1800. When I print something in CS5 it has different colors than printing in CS5. I checked the color settings and color mode and everything is the same. What settings did I missed, that I get such a different result?
    Jutta

    Sounds like you have the same problem as the Epson 2800. There is a post in here somewhere. The problem is with the Epson drivers. The person ended up buying a Epson 3800 If I remember correctly and had no more issues. His problem was with Red color cast or something like that.
    You may want to get with Epson. Older printer, no new drivers on a new OS with PS CS5 was not a good combo.

  • Printing issues with Word and embedded excel

    we are using word 2003 with embedded excel blocks.  The issue is we have a 9040n printer in one office where the document is created, but when we come to another office and try printing the word document on a 9050 printer, the document looks different.  I've tryed using current pcl 6 drivers on both printers with no luck, and now if have ther 9040 PCL 6 driver on both printers with the same issues happening?  Any Ideas, please help!!

    I came across your question and wondered if you could help me. I just bought a macpro with leopard and am having a heck of a time getting it to work with my design jet 800ps which is connected by usb cable. I installed the driver for the printer from the leopard cd but to no avail. The printer shows up in the printer list but when I send a file nothing happens. I have been on the phone with HP but nothing seems to make a difference.
    Thanks much

  • Print issue with eprint and iPad mini

    Eprint has stopped working on my iPad mini. It used to work fine. It says, "Photosmart C6200 series doesn't support this file type". Yet, I can print the same file from my iphone 5 s with no problem. I tried deleting and reinstalling. It didn't help. The printer is WiFi.

    Hi Jan14,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I understand that you are getting an error message on your iPad when trying to send a print job to your Photosmart C6200 series printer using ePrint.
    Please follow the steps in the section titled “What if a 'No AirPrint Printers Found' message displays on my Apple device?” from the Printing Over a Wireless Network with Apple's AirPrint FAQ document. For the step where you are asked to turn the iPad off, please reset your iPad instead using the steps in Apple’s Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset document.   This should allow you to print using ePrint again.

  • Finally Resolved my Printer Issues - HP 1012 and Canon Pixma

    This has been about to drive me crazy... I cannot tell you how much browsing I have done on this forum and via google searches. For me... my issue is related to VM Fusion. This also identified why my CD / DVD wouldn't always eject.
    My printer would work when I removed and re-added or reset printer services... it would work for maybe an hour or so then nothing would print. It would show up as paused in the printer status... but never would print.
    What I ended up doing was removing my printer from the USB connection within VMware Fusion and it has worked flawlessly... will print from any application. Since I am only running a Weather Station through Windows and VMware I don't need the printer function. But it does make me wonder why... I will ping the guys on the VMware Fusion forum to see if they have any answers.

    I've been using this printer with LR for over a year and I've had fantastic results.  The secret, for me at least, is just before I print I increase the brightness by about 20 to 25 - depending on the paper.
    Here is how I arrived at this value:
    Make 3 virtual copies
    Increase the brighness of each by 10
    You now have four images at 50, 60, 70, and 80 brightness
    Highlight the four images and go to the print module
    Print them all on one 5x7 (or larger if you prefer) sheet of your target paper
    See which one looks the best.
    Use that brightness level for that paper.
    If you're not sure and have it narrowed down to two values and can't decide, you can always repeat this at something like 65, 70, 75, 80, etc...  It only uses a couple of small sheets and a little bit of ink.
    The one thing to keep in mind when using this (or any other ink printer) is that even a properly calibrated monitor is going to look brighter than your print.  This is not a fault of the printer, but rather the nature of today's LCD monitors - particularly the nice bright LED ones.  Your paper does not have nice, bright white lights pushing trough it to backlight it, so a little push in the brightness will do the trick.
    BTW - in case anyone is interested, there are some simple ways to work around the forced borders on the FA prints on this printer.  For example, the Canon Museum Rag paper is made by Hahnemuhle in Germany.  You can use the Hahnemuhle profile and it works just fine!  Likewise, my favorite paper is the Epson Velvet Fine Art paper.  Since it is made by Legion I use the Legion Sommerset Velvet profiles and get full 13x19 FA prints with no border.

  • How do I get LR3 and CS5 read Nikon P7700 raw files?

    Just bought a Nikon P7700 so I can use the Raw feature.  CS5 and LR3 do not read the P7700 Raw Files....does Adobe have an update and/or plugin for this?

    It depends.....if your normal route into PS is through Lightroom and the "Edit in..." process, then no you won't need to update PS as well as Lightroom will handle the Raw conversion. But if you have a need to directly open raw files into Photoshop's ACR plug-in, then yes you would need to upgrade PS as well.

  • Printing issues with D1455 and Airport express

    Hi, I'm having problems printing with an HP Deskjet D1455 and the airport express. The printing always halts after printing half the page.
    Attached is another post related with this problem:
    "HI,
    i just purchased the Deskjet 1455 and connected to the airport express for wireless printing. I followed the instructions of installing printer on windows with bonjour on the Apple website. After I get everything set, then I started to print, but it stopped while printing(It prints half of the document then stop). In the computer status says ''error'', and it is the same thing when I trying to delete it.
    The printer works when I directly connect to the computer.
    I want to use wireless printing, how to solve this problem? THANK YOU!"

  • Print issue with ebay and latest Firefox

    Just gone to the latest Firefox 37.0.01 and it is not printing ebay invoices/labels correctly - I print multiple invoices at a time and it prints out every other one - it only shows every other one in print Preview.
    reverting back to an earlier firefox fixes this problem
    Any fixes for the latest version?

    It might have to do with a compatibility change, however I have found some alternative solutions from other forums. I would imagine it would vary on the printer.
    A
    Click "FILE" in the upper let corner
    Go to : "PAGE SETUP"
    Go to : 'MARGINS & HEADER / FOOTER" and adjust them.
    B.
    Try to download any available printer drivers available for the printer.
    Also more recent posts in the ebay forums:

  • PDF printing issue: the big and small of it.

    Hello board,
    I have a three-page PDF and when I print it the first page prints the size it should, but the subsequent pages print tiny on their pages.  Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

    This happened to me and I figured out that it was actually a problem within the settings--properties of my printer because when I tired a different printer, it worked fine. I can't tell you exactly what to change because every printer is different but you may want to play around with the printer settings.
