Making sure on screen colors print the same

Hi,
Hope you are having a nice evening.
I just did a test print of a PDF that was exported from Indesign. The Indesign document contained things like a logo (which was created in Illustrator.)
The color of the type in the logo looked accurate across all adobe applications but now when I print it its entirely different.
What should I do to remedy the situation?
Thanks very much.

G'day
This is a common problem with home printers, I have a customer now that I designed a logo for that wants to print out from Word to there colour printer.
One way around this could be to get your hands on a colourchart print that out through your printer and then select from it the colour you want and change the logo colour on computer to that colour mix.
The colourchart I found was called "fgdc-geolsym-colorchart.pdf"
Have not tried this idea yet but will be soon with above mentioned customer.

My document don't print the same color when I print it from PDF rather than InDesign

I have a vector image that don't print the same color when I export it to PDF but the colors are the same on the screen.
How can I be sure to have the same colors as my InDesign original document when I print it as a PDF ?

I use the default settings for High Quality Print

When I print a 4x6 color picture using an iMac with the latest operating system using a Canon MX892 printer, faint black lines appear every 3/16 of an inch. When I print the same picture using iPhoto there is no problem.

When I print a 4x6 color picture using an iMac with the latest operating system using a Canon MX892 printer, faint black lines appear every 3/16 of an inch. When I print the same picture using iPhoto there is no problem. Any suggestions?

What is the resolution of the picture that you are trying to print?
Go to Image>resize>image size, read the resolution in px/in, then report back, please.
Also, are you in a position to try printing with another printer in an attempt to narrow this down?

So, printing an image from PS is OK, but from LR it's dark?
Do both have the same printer ICC profile selected?

Printing the same picture several time on the same paper

I use to be able to print the same photo on 1 paper , often to create ID photos but i cannot succeed anymore with the latest version of my i photo !!!! any help is welcome

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Once you choose your photo, paper size and print size you'll get this window. Now click on the Customize button and in the next window click on the Setting button and select the option seen in this screenshot.
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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How do i set it to fit to screen to print the entire file?

How do i set it to fit to screen to print the entire file? I have a file that is smaller than 8.5x11 but it says it's larger and clipping will occur and when I print it, it does not fit the paper. Ive even clicked the box that says Scale to Fit Paper Size and it's still giving me that message and cutting info off.
I also need to be able to size it by percentage so I can adjust it to fit into a pre made form Im working with.

First, I am new to this forum and I was told by Adobe that I would get help from Adobe as well as other users here, so that's why I posted. But nobody asked me for basic info about image dimensions and printing sizes. I never claimed to be an expert, just a basic user of PS, which is why Im asking for help. I've used this program for my basic needs which is probably 1/1000th of what PS is capable of, but it's what I've used and I've always had success doing what I needed to do with it. If you can help, I very much appreciate it but if you just want to slam me and say you don't believe what I say, then that's not really helpful. Since nobody else responded to this post with any offers for help, the info you seek is below. If you have any thoughts on how to help, I greatly appreciate it.
Im not sure how the image dimensions apply to my question at all but here they are: 3300x2550 with a 300 dpi resolution.
Im simply trying to get the program to allow me to fit the image to the paper Im printing and adjust it as necessary to make it fit a partially pre-printed form I need for work and in every PS version I've used that I can recall, it allowed that. It certainly allowed it, using the same printers Im using now, in CS5.
Also, you mentioned that the printer driver handles this but I can do this in every other program I have on this computer with the same printers, from Numbers (it's a Mac) to Preview to Mac Mail so why wouldn't it do the same thing in PS? That's what Im trying to find out here and with most software, I can pick up a phone or get on a one-on-one chat and get help, but apparently not with PS and since it's not a cheap program, I expected more. I never needed to call for help before using this new version, so that's something I need to consider.
Again, if you are able to help, I appreciate it. Thanks!

Printing the same image 3 copies

how can i print the same image multiple times in the print screen i will go the the print/copies box and increase the nunber or copies to lets ay 3 and i still will only get 1 print oer print job so i will have to repeat this 2 more times just to get 3 prints

Same here. The workaround is in the Print Dialog, Printer Settings> Change Settings> Advanced Settings. This will take you to the printer driver settings and you can usually specify number of copies there somewhere (following is from my Canon printer driver).

We have an imac 27, with 2 accounts. We share a Canon 9000 II printer, wired.. If my wife prints a photo it printes perfectly When I print the same pic from my account, overall dark magenta cast. Ideas????

We have an iMac 27, wife and I each have an administrator account. When she prints a pic from iphoto, or from the web, the colors are perfect, they match the monitor. When i print the same pic from my account, there is a dark magenta cast overall. Same printer, same driver, same paper. Using a Canon 9000series II printer, connected by wire. This is a new phenomenon. Using new inks, cartridges are full, all lit. Any ideas what could be causing this weird phenomenon???

When i print the same pic from my account, there is a dark magenta cast overall.
what happens when you print from your wives account?
This is a new phenomenon.
When did this start, when you installed a new OS, applications, new Mac?
A first step is to reset the printer from your account:
Apple Menu > System Preferences > Printers: right click in the list of printers and select Reset Printing System

Why does my brand new printer always print the same 1. thing that i printed before

when i try to print something else it always prints the same thing i dont know why i deleted that old files but it still prints the old thing

I would check to make sure the print queue is empty. I would also check the temp files on the computer (and anywhere else that a copy of it could exist depending on what operating system you are using) for that print item.
Also, make sure there is not a virus on the system. Those can do some weird things when certain conditions happen. Not likely just not something to overlook.

Is E-Print the same as AirPrint? I have an HP print and it states that I can print from tablets.

Thanks again
I have a couple of HP printers, so I am somewhat familiar with this.
EPrint is not the same as air print. EPrint is HPs way of sending documents over the Internet to an Internet-connected printer. Air print, by contrast, is Apple's way of printing from an iPad or an iPhone over Wi-Fi. So, even if your printer is capable of "printing from tablets", it is not at all clear whether it is only air print or ePrint or both. The best thing you can do is check the list that was posted above and see if your model printer is in that list. If it is, you can use the air print function built into the latest iOS to print over Wi-Fi. On the other hand, if your printer is not on the list, you may still be able to print through ePrint. To do that, you should download and install the HP ePrint app that is available for free in the App Store. This will allow you to print over 3G to your wireless printer.

Web sudoku app prints the same puzzle every time?

We got an 8500A plus from Costco recently. My mom was able to print her favoriate game for the first time, thanks to the web sudoku app and the touch interface. Unfortunately, it seems to print the same puzzle every time for the same category (easy, medium, hard, evil).
Any tips to make it print something different each time? Is it only updated daily?

Dear hpllu,
You should try unistalling and reinstalling the sudoku app from the ePrintCenter website.

Sorry my bad. I have tried to print the same document on another printer and all the formatting is fine.

Printing the same page multiple times on one sheet

So last year I wanted to print out minature versions of my card design and I was able to do that by printing out multiple copies of the same thing on one sheet of paper. Of course that was a while ago and now today I can't do the same thing. I remember printing the same page(copy) multiple times either in acrobat or indesign. I see that I have a front and back version for last years card and I'm assuming I must have done it in acrobat. Last year when I looked at the preview there was multiple copies of my page. This year I only see 1 even as I choose the other things. At first I thought it might have been the version I was using on my windows as opposed to the version on my mac. But now I'm on my mac and I still don't see how I did it last year. Please help! I keep reading that this can't be done but I remember doing the same thing last year. It was the 16 copies of the same thing option. I tried it again this time but it doesn't work. I tried printing the 4 copies only 1 copy was printed.(the preview didn't even show all copies like last year) The verson of acrobat is X. version 10.1.4

Recentley printing most documents in firefox print on 1/4 of the page and not the complte document. When I print the same thing in safari it prints fine. Please advise how I can get proper printing in firefox

When using Firefox to print most documents ( boarding passes, mastercard statements,genealogy documents) the printing only shows on 1/4 of the page, is in the lower left quarter and does not print part of the right side of the information. When I go into Safari and print the same documents within 2 minutes they always print fine. We like Firefox and would prefer to continue to use but if we can't print we will have to use Safari more often

I have the same problem with cutting of the page since installing the new version. If you manually zoom out the print it only shows 1/4 of the page on a whole page of paper. Something is wrong here.
I have done all these steps and it still does NOT print correctly!
I am a IT professional and something is not right with the new firefox browser. Please supply with fix or we will have to permanently switch back to Internet Explorer, which works perfectly.
