Photos not printing right

When I try to print photos using MS Vista OS they come out looking like negatives. It isn't the printer itself as it prints photos fine when using MS XP OS. What am I missing with Vista?

We use CS6, yes we calibrate using x-rite. I have always had adobe manage colors when printing. This problem just occurred, all my settings are the same as they have been for years. The only thing we did lately is do an update to CS6. We thought it might be our printer but when we use the printer manages color it works fine, The problem with adobe manages color is it is not blending the light highlights like on top of the cheeks with the colors around the cheeks and its putting a faint red between the two it just does not have a smooth transition. I printed a photo that I had printed 4 months ago with no issue, and this time it had the issue that I am dealing with now. Somehow the photo shop manages color is not getting the right info to my printer.

FF not printing right hand side of the web page using MAC OSX

FF is not printing out the right hand side of the web page. 1/2 to 1 inch i text is just cut off. Never had a problem in the past with this. Just happened, I believe after I upgraded FF. I am using MacBook Pro OSX.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I believe after I download the new FF update

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8
I have had problems with Firefox printing pages through most of the Firefox versions. I have tried printing in different ways to no avail.
Among my attempts:
printing to pdf, printing selected text, scaling down the page, using the print mode if the art. offers one. None seem to fix the problem.
Not only does the right margin text get cut off but oftentimes only the first page prints, the rest of the article doesn´t. It just happened again so I went to Safari and the problem disappeared. I believe there´s a serious problem here.
Below see a shot of what the preview of a 12 page article becomes when printed.

Photos not printing

I have a HP Deskjet 3000 wireless printer, it will not print photos from my pc but it will print word documents ok, I have other computers on my network and I can print a photo from another computer on the network. The Scan and Print Doctor cannot find the problem, I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times from the original cd and using the latest drivers from HP website but the problem with printing just photos is still present
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi Dave, thank you for your response to my problem
When I hit the print button I get the usual preview pane where I can select paper type and size etc when I hit the print button again it sends to the printer, the printer icon appears for a few moments, when I place my curser over it, it says 1 job in queue then it goes to 0 jobs in queue and the icon disappears but nothing prints.
I can print the photo if I send it to Paint first, I can print text documents and emails, photos print ok from another pc on my network.
It is a difficult problem to overcome considering Hp Scan and Print Doctor says all is ok!
Thanks, Tony

Selphy 910 thick white line, part of photo not printing

Hi,
I have a Canon Selphy 910 and any photo i try to print with it comes out with a 1 inch thick white line down the length of the page where nothing has printed. The rest of the photo has printed but not this long black line along the photo,
It looks like there is something stopping the ink from geting to the page.
This happens if i print from a windows laptop r straight from an SD card
I have taken out the paper and the ink cartridge to make sure there is no tape, but all looks fine
This is a brand new printer staight of the the box
Any ideas ?

Why do 4x6 photos not print from computer on 7520 HP printer

In settings I changed it to 4x6 photo paper and set it at that default. Then when I want to print from the 4x6 tray it tells me the tray is empty meaning the 8x11 tray is empty, which should be empty. It should switch to the 4x6 tray but it does not do that so therefore I can not print 4x6 photos. What else can I do? Am I missing something?

I found the answer to my own problem. Leave the paper in the bottom tray as well when one puts photo paper in the 4x6 tray. That is the reason it tells me my tray is empty when in fact the bottom 8x11 tray should have paper in it as well. Only the Settings need to be changed for 4x6 photo paper and then change it back to the 8x11 to letter paper.

In Design CS6 - pdf not printing right

OSX 10.8.5
Adobe Creative Suite Design Standard / In Design v. 8.0.2 (latest update)
ISSUE: Seems to have arisen right after I upgraded my Mac OS from Tiger to Mountain Lion. Not sure if there's a connection, however. I just did the latest update for CS6, so don't know if the prior version of InDesign led to the problem either (it was CS6 but I hadn't done an update for awhile).
Issue: I created an InDesign page and then generated a press quality PDF for a commercial printer, who put it thru a RIP and then printed it. My submitted PDF looked just fine, no issues that I could see. However, on two occasions the pages printed with things missing…..in one case a header at the top and part (not all) of a block of text in the other. On the second occasion, two bits of text within two separate text blocks were missing. This NEVER occurred before, ever. BUT….this has happened since upgrading to Mountain Lion OS and before updating CS6 to the 8.0.2 version I now have.
My printer said "In Design sometimes doesn't distill a PDF correctly", although this doesn't make sense as I've never had this happen before. The fonts were fine, not protected, everything was present, all colors were fine, it was just sporadic missing text. I've looked at everything and can't find any reason for this.
Has anyone got ideas about this?

Can we assume that you are exporting PDF, not somehow creating PDF via distillation of PostScript? PDF via distillation of PostScript is not reliable.
And exactly what PDF joboption preset did you use when you exported PDF?
Quite frankly, I somehow suspect that neither you, the MacOS version, the InDesign version, nor the PDF file itself are the problem.
The fact that your printer is mumbling about “In Design (sic) sometimes doesn't distill a PDF correctly” leads me to believe that your printer may be the problem. Quite often, printers muck around with perfectly fine PDF files, opening them in (gasp!) Adobe Illustrator “just to check things out and to ‘fix things’.” The problem is that usually there really isn't anything to fix and that Adobe Illustrator is not, repeat not, repeat yet again not a PDF file editor. The only PDF files that Adobe Illustrator can safely open and edit are PDF files saved from Adobe Illustrator if and only if the “save editability” option is selected when such a PDF file is saved. Otherwise, it is very possible that text and other PDF objects may be lost or otherwise modified, colors changed, etc. The damage occurs when the PDF file is opened in Illustrator and becomes permanent when such a file is saved, even if nothing is explicitly done to the file by the user!
Alternatively, your printer may have a wonky PDF workflow system with very out-of-date components or a very, very out-of-date RIP/DFE.
Generally speaking, if you can open the PDF file in Acrobat or Adobe Reader and print successfully to a local print device, you should have no problems of the type you describe.

Bad files, photos not loading right, crashing...really worried.

Gosh lightroom and me are just not getting along lately. First my catalog destroys itself and then the following day lightroom on my husbands computer starts getting all wonky.
First, it wasn't displaying the edits in the little film strip thing at the bottom in develop like it usually does. I would have to click on the picture, it would show up raw and then load into all the settings we have done. Typically, once we edit a photo it just is that way from then on.
Then my husband gets back on his computer and works a little and all the sudden a bunch of files are having errors and none of the standard previews are loaded anymore. That is odd since we know FOR SURE we have loaded those and then did 1:1 previews on all the flagged photos we are working with.
Then after them being damaged it went back to most of them working. Freaking out...again...we just exported all the work we have done so far (about 95% of the wedding) so we wouldn't lose another wedding after the preview catalog crash. Now I am really uncertain as to what we should do...He shut down lightroom and we have not opened it back up again in fear we will screw something up. I thought I would do some research and write something here first since calling Adobe is useless after spending 2 hours on the phone only to not speak to anyone and be hung up on last time when my catalog crashed.
Lightroom is our life. We spend all day on it, do all our weddings in it...It is our workflow and our style. I can't do what I do in lightroom in photoshop since I have developed our style within lightroom. We have 8 weddings to edit and can't just stop working...
I guess i'm freaking out. Should we just export all our presets and delete lightroom and reinstall it? Do you think we have a bug? We work on macs so I would think a bug is much less likely than a windows computer? Could our version be bad? We are running on 2.4 I believe which is the most current? Should we go back to the previous version? We have not had ANY problems with lightroom until now and its like everything is going way crazy in the past 2 days so I guess i'm a little overwhelmed.
I'm honestly afraid to keep working in fear that all will be lost again. Someone told me about some XML thing that will for sure keep all our edits if something should go wrong. Is there a step by step of what that exactly means and how to make that happen? I am much more of a creative artist than a programmer so I am a little slow on how a lot of things work on the back end.
Thanks so much for your help to anyone who replies. I just joined this forum a couple days ago and It is amazing how fast people do respond to things so I really appreciate it.

Holly,
a bunch of files are having errors
When you say "errors", what do you mean exactly? Do you get an error message, or is it just that the previews aren't showing up?
did 1:1 previews
By default, LR will delete 1:1 previews that are older than 30 days to free up disk space. Is that possibly what's going on?
Someone told me about some XML thing that will for sure keep all our edits if something should go wrong.
LR never alters the original image - all of its changes are stored separately as instructions (e.g. "Add 0.5 Exposure").
So when you see an image in LR, it gets the original image, applies every change you've ever made, and displays the result. The catalog (LR's database) keeps track of every single change you've ever made, and this is what you see in the History panel.
Optionally, you can instruct LR to save image data in what's called a "sidecar" file. This sidecar file is in Adobe's XMP format, which is based on XML. It will have the same name as your original RAW file but with a ".xmp" extension.
You can see this in action by opening the folder containing your original raw images - you will see DSC_1234.NEF (for Nikon) and it's "sidecar" file DSC_1234.XMP. You can actually open the DSC_1234.XMP file (but DON'T modify it) and see the XML that LR has created.
Another option is that if you are converting your RAW images to DNG, the same XMP data is written out, but it is actually stored inside the DNG file along side the RAW image instead of in a separate file.
The thing to watch out for is that a) writing the data to XMP is optional - you have to make sure you've enabled it (I don't remember if it's on by default), and b) the XMP file doesn't contain everything that's in the LR catalog, so you shouldn't view it as a substitute for backing up your catalog.
Also, while I know it's outside of the realm of your specific issue, it sounds like there are a few "workflow" tips that might help you out. If you already know this stuff, please feel free to disregard... much of this is personal preference and experience from having been burned in the past!:)
Set LR to test the integrity and backup your catalog every day. It only takes an extra minute but can be worth its weight in gold if your catalog ever gets corrupted. The cool thing about LR's backup is that it each backup is written to a new file - as opposed to just overwriting the same backup copy every time. In other words, if you backed up on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, you would have 3 copies of the catalog: one from Mon, one from Tues, one from Wed. With normal backup procedures, you would just typically have the latest copy of the catalog - the problem being that if the catalog gets corrupted and you don't know about it, and back up that version, now you just have 2 copies of a corrupted catalog!
When you import, make sure to check the box that says "Backup To". This will immediately ensure that a) right of the bat you have 2 copies of each image, and b) ensure that no matter what you do in LR you will never lose your original image.
If you're really paranoid, after your import, shut down LR and back up your LR catalog, your RAW images, and your RAW images that were backed up as part of your import.
Make sure you have "write to XMP" turned on, or alternatively convert your RAW images to DNG. Either way will ensure XMP data is stored with your images. If you don't use DNG, make sure you back up the ".xmp" files as well as your your RAW (.nef, .cr2) files.
When you're done with your images, export every image to JPG. Back up the JPGs.
Periodically back up any LR presets and plugins
Peridocially burn your RAW images (either .CR2 + .XMP, or .DNG) and/or JPG to DVD, and store the DVD offsite (e.g. safe deposit box, friend's house). Alternatively, backup to an external hard drive and store off site.
Back up your entire system every night (or week or month - based on how much work you feel comfortable losing )
It might seem like a lot of extra steps, but much of it can be automated, and after a while it will just become part of your normal workflow. If you have to, keep a paper checklist next to your computer.
If you do this, you will have:
A daily backup of a known, good LR catalog.
A copy of every RAW image as it came off your memory card.
A copy of every RAW image and the latest edits.
A JPG version of every edited RAW image with edits "baked in"
A copy of your saved presets and plugins
Everything above backed up to a secondary location
Plus, a copy of RAW images and their latest edits and/or JPGs stored off site

Photos not the right way round

I imported loads of photos from my digital camera onto my mac, then flipped them the right way in preview.
I've just imported them to iphoto, and they all seem the right way up but when uploading to my webspace or emailing, although they look like they are the right way up, they are infact still landscape when they should be portrait... any thoughts why?!

You can export them to the Desktop and then reimport. The new file will be naturally oriented correctly and should work in any application OK. You can check it out by seeing if there's been a subfolder created in the Modified folder that is the same name as the one in the Originals folder. There should not be one. Once reimported you can delete the first set. You can make it easier by assembling them into a single roll and delete from within iPhoto.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.
