Only black an white prints with iphoto 6.06

Hi,
i got a problem with iphoto 6.06 since it won´t print color pictures. My screen shows it in colors, but when it comes to the printing job only black & white pictures will come out of my printer. Every button or mark is set on color before printing. My printer is a Lexmark X4950. At the printer itself the button for colors is also marked. I can print pictures or photos in colors out of the Apple preview program or others like Adobe Photoshop. Only iphoto does this kind of trouble.
Does anybody have a hint or an adviceß
Greetings Hank

Tom:
Can you see the card and photos using Image Capture? Also did you try wiggling the cable to make sure there's not an intermittent connection somewhere.
After updating to 6.0.6 did you repair disk permissions? Give that a try and if it doesn't help try reinstalling the 10.3.9 COMBO updater followed by a repair of disk permissions.
Do you Twango?

  • Black and white printing with a mac

    I recently switched from a Dell Windows PC to an iMac with OS 10.9. I am using my old HP 6500e 710a Officejet All in One.
    I typically print most of my documents in black and white which was available on the Windows 7 driver version.
    On the iMac OS 10.9 driver version, I can only print in black and white in "draft" mode.
    Based on another posting I saw on this forum, the drop down menu for another HP printer (I think 8300) had the feature to select B&W printing in any quality. Also, it had "grayscale" selectable.
    I appears that my driver version V2.4.0-2 does not have the full compliment of options. HP needs to update this OS 10.9 driver.
    Can anyone HELP!

    happytohelp01,
    I received a response from HP Support pointing me to the following Apple software driver on the Apple support website; HP Printer Drivers v.2.16.1 for OS X. 
    It was at "http://support.apple.com/kb/dl907".   Once I loaded it, I was given the following instructions:
    Step 3: Change print settings
    1. Open the document that you want to print
    2. Click on File  and then Print
    3. Make sure the correct printer name is selected.
    4. Below the Orientation option, there is drop-down menu. Select Paper type/Quality (Refer to the attached screenshot)
    5. Click on Color Options.
    6. Select Greyscale under Color
    7. Click on Print.
    You can create a Preset using the below steps so that you do not have to change the settings every time you print.
    1. Click on Presets menu
    2. Click on Create new Preset
    3. Assign a preset name
    4. Confirm to create the preset.
    Next time, you can select this preset name to get the settings that you have made.
    This allowed me to print in B&W at Normal quality.

  • Cp1518 - on a mac - is there a way to choose only black and white printing only rather than overide?

    as above - can I just choose to do black and white only, or grayscale pictures on my cp1518?  alot of the time that is all I want.
    Thanks

    I suppose that would have helped! Here is an image. I am imagining a more "white" look even with a transparency. I have to print this 4c digitally, and i'm worried because my printout looks even more orange-y/pink than what you see on screen.
    I will try what you suggested in Photoshop, but let me know if you think of something else once you see the image.
    Thanks!

  • Why is the photo only black in Edit mode with iPhoto 11?

    Why is the photo only Black in Edit mode?
    Everything works fine, except when I try to edit a photo, it shows as only Black.
    I have tried every fix talked about on this forum, and some others - nothing fixes it.
    Is this a Feature ? or is it a bug that no one is interesteed in fixing? It doesn't fill me with confidence in Apple when I see such random little glitches remaining unfixed.

    Is it the same for newly created slideshows?  Although a long shot give this a try:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If the above fails as a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
    If it doesn't then the following my be your next step:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • Color LaserJet 2605dn Printing only Black and white

    I have a Color Laserjet 2605dn and all of the color ink cartridges have run dry. However the Black cartridge has over 2,000 pages of ink in it and the printer will not let me prink only Black and White. It seems the color cartridges must also have ink in them in order for the printer to print. Does anyone know a work around so that I can print with the Black Cartridge and not purchase the color cartridges?

    HI Guys can you help?
      How do I set my Ricoh Aficio SP C220N to Default to print only Black and White? When I check print Grey Scale box it uses the other colours to create the black instead of using the black toner cartridge. doing this from a PC works fine but not of a Mac and I am a newbie at this can you help as I don't want to waste any more colour ink unnecessarily.

    Hi @sandeepv 
    I can help you with your print settings, so the printer will print black and white only.
    If you have a Mac operating system, use the instructions below.
    Printing with the Black Print Cartridge Only option
    Click File and then click Print.
    Make sure your printer is selected.
    Verify that the Preset option is set to Standard.
    In the Copies & Pages menu, select Select Paper Type / Quality.
    NOTE:If this option is not available, click ColorSync. Then click the down arrow beside Quartz Filter and change the setting from None to Black & White.
    Select the Paper tab.
    From the Color option menu, select Grayscale.
    Select the Color Options tab.
    Select the Black Print Cartridge Only option.
    If that option is not listed, then it is not available. The printer will print using only the black cartridge, however, printing with one cartridge will be slower than printing with both cartridges.
    NOTE:To save the setting, click the arrow next to Preset and select Save As. Save the Preset option as Black Cartridge Only and then click OK. Then, the next time you want to print with just the black cartridge, select the Black Cartridge Only Preset.    -Source

  • Can you suggest a good black and white printer for OS 9?

    I'm going to be using OS 9 for a while and was wondering if anyone could suggest a good black and white printer that I can connect to my Lombard laptop running OS 9. New or used doesn't matter to me as long as I can still get some ink cartridges for it. Thanks a ton for the help.

    Okidata printers are the only ones I know of that are current models that have Mac OS 9 drivers.
    http://www.okidata.com/mkt/html/nf/b2200-b2400home.html
    And I think these are laser printers, not inkjets. I don't have personal experience with them.
    For older models that you may find used, HP made good printers. For their inkjet printers, HP put the printhead on the ink cartridge, which ensure that key part will not wear out or get clogged on a older printer.
    Make sure the model is not too old; you need USB. To check on a specific model, go to hp's support site. Look up the model by it's name or number on this web page.
    http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html?pageDisplay=support
    From the next page, you can see the specs and open a page with a listing of printer drivers. If there is a driver for Mac OS 9, that model would work.
    You can do the same type of evaluation with other brands, such as Epson, Canon, etc.

  • Why do my PRO-100 black and white prints have a color tint?

    I am printing on the PIXMA Pro-100 printer and sometimes, for no apparent reason (?), my black and white prints will have a color tint (usually a "redish brown"), and then when printing again... same print, same settings... the same print will be fine, neutral with no tint at all.
    Any ideas why?
    Also (maybe related?) I don't understand why the Photo-Cyan and Magenta ink cartridges are being depleted when I am NOT printing color, but only Black and White.  Am I missing something?  When setting up for printing I always make sure the "Black and White Print" feature is selected in the settings dialog "Quick Setup".  Doesn't this insure that only the black and grey inks are used as long as I am not "toning"?  In other words... if ONLY the black and grey inks are used, isn't the print supposed to be a neutral black and white print? Again... am I missing something?
    FYI:
    I am printing on Canon Pro Luster and Plus Semi-Gloss papers.
    Under "Options - Color Management" I have selected:
    (color handling) Photoshop Elements Manages Colors
    (image space) Adobe RGB (1998)
    (printer profile) Canon PRO-100 <LU> 1/2 Photo Paper Pro Luster
    (rendering intent) Perceptual

    It looks like you have the settings pretty close.  But the fact is all printers use all their cartridges to print B&W.
     Whoa, why?
    Yes it is true and the reason is this.  B&W consists of 256 shades of gray. From totaly black which is 0 to white which is 256.
    If you have just one, two or three cartridges to make 256 different blacks and grays all the way to white, it simply isn't possibile.
    The ony thing a printer can do is, amount of ink and how long.  So it makes up for this by using all it's cartridges.  However, in Canon it seems like the Pro-100 tints show up more than it should.  There are dedicated B&W printers but they are designed differently to accomplish true B&W.
    The tint will be different on different papers.  You can experiment to find the paper that does best for you.  Try a more gloss type paper and see if you like the B&W.  You can try Red River papers, too.  They will assist you in picking a good B&W paper.
    You can also experiment with filters in PSE.  Adding a little blue may help.  Just give it a try.
    But the bottom line is you are no doing anything wrong.  It is just the charchter of the beast.

  • Cheep black and white printer for iPads?

    What is a cheep printer that my students can print directly from their iPads? I only want them to be able to print black and white.

    I don't know if there's anything that's only black and white. Basically, if you find an air print printer you'll be able to print natively from the ipad, no extra apps or software
    If you find a printer that's wireless you can see if the manufacturer has an app. Or you can find a third party app to enable printing.
    For your needs, with a bunch of students, an entry level air print printer would probably be the best choice. Look for wifi printers and see if they are air print enabled.

  • I have Mavericks installed. Cannot print with IPhoto because there are no themes

    I cannot print with IPhoto because it says that I do not have themes. How do I install themes? JL

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
