Photosmart 7960 having color issues

I have been running my 7960 with no complaints under Windows xp for many years now.  About 3 months ago when I try and print in color it will have to much green tint.  I have tried color management on/off.  Switch between RGB and Adobe.  Even when I try grayscale it will have green tint.  The only time I can get reasonable color is when I have it on plain paper and fast normal. 
Any ideas where to start troubleshooting?

I am having the exact same problem with my HP 7960.  When I print to 4x6 photo paper in the small slot for 4x6 photos my pictures are coming out with a severe green tint.  If I print the same picture on plain paper in the regular paper area, the pictures turn out fine.  I am using Vista Home Premium.  This is a recent occurence, as I have not had problems with this printer until the past few weeks.  Any help or ideas would be appreciated.  This seems to happen no matter what program I use to print the pictures, e.g. Adobe Photoshop Elements, Windows Media Player.
Thanks so much,
Karen

  • HP Photosmart C7283 red color issue

    hi
    i am using HP Photosmart C7283 All-in-one and my red color (Light Magenta and Magenta) are not printing.
    i have tried changing the ink including usig originals and it seems the problem is not with ink.
    i have also printed a report from the printer itself which didn't print these colors that means the problem is in the printer and not whitin the pc driver.
    any help, please....
    tnx

    I looks like you are having a serious print quality problem. This particular problem is caused by either a faulty cartridge, or a failed printhead. I would start by trying the steps in the document below. If that doesn't work, try doing a hard reset. If it's still not working, try doing a partial reset. If after that the problem continues, replace the cartridge that is causing the problem. If it's still not working after all of that, the printhead is most likely bad, in which case you will need to replace the printer.

    To do a hard reset:
    1. Make sure the printer is on.
    2. Pull the power cord from the printer.
    3. Pull the power cord from the wall.
    4. Wait 30 seconds.
    5. Plug the printer in and turn it on.
    To do a partial reset:
    1. Make sure the printer is on.
    2. Pull the power cord from the printer.
    3. Pull the power cord from the wall.
    4. Wait 30 seconds.
    5. Plug the power cord inot the wall, but do not plug in the printer.
    6. Hold down the 3 and # buttons.
    7. While holding the buttons, plug in the printer.
    8. When the lights come on, let go of the buttons.

  • Having Color Issues In LR5.3 for Olympus E-M1?

    Hello,
    I recently updated from LR5.2 -> LR5.3 and had processed a batch of Olympus E-M1 RAW photos to my liking using the previous version.  Now in LR5.3, there is a definite color profile change when I view the same photo in the Library vs. Develop modules.  The Library version appears to be the "correct" one and the Develop versions have a much warmer/yellowish tint and/or different saturation levels.  This occurs at full size so it is not a preview rendering issue, nor is it a monitor calibration issue.  I see in the release notes that there were changes made to the E-M1 profiles and suspect it may be related.
    - Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
    - How can I retain the color profile used in LR5.2/Library version of the photos?
    Thanks in advance,
    Kat

    It's easy to overlook the word preliminary in the release notes or not understand the implication. 
    I think the E-M1 was supported in LR 5.2 by pretending it was an E-M5.  To replicate that behavior in newer LR's, make a copy of the E-M5 camera profile and put it in the user-profiles folder, then hex-edit it to say E-M1, by changing the "5" to a "1" in the user-profiles copy, and also change the phrase "Adobe Standard" to "adobe standard" or something else slightly different that has the same number of letters.  It is important not to change the size of the file, just replace letters or numbers with other letters or numbers.  Because it's in the user-profile area, it'll survive future LR updates.
    On my Windows 7 computer, the original E-M5 profile file is:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.3\Resources\CameraProfiles\Adobe Standard\Olympus E-M5 Adobe Standard.dcp
    The user-profile folder is:
    C:\Users\(myusername)\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\
    or the shortcut that can be typed directly into an Explorer address bar followed by Enter:
    %APPDATA%\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\
    And the hex-editor I use is HxD from:

  • Photoshop CC Color Issues

    When I updated my Photoshop program two updates ago I began having color issues in Photoshop as the rest of the Adobe Suite.  Regardless of whether the color mode is RGB or CMYK the colors appear washed out on the program.  This image http://i.imgur.com/BWVwbx2.jpg  is an example. The image on the right is a screen shot of the original image of the shoes copied from the website, the image on the left is the same image copied into photoshop. When I try to save the RGB file as a jpeg or a PDF it looks the same as it did in the program, washed out.  However,  when the file is CMYK color mode and I try to save it as a jpeg or PDF it looks like this http://i.imgur.com/TAUyeOf.jpg. Both my coworker and I started having this issue on our seperate computers around the same time so I don't believe that it is a graphics card issue or something along those lines. How can I fix this?  I have tried calling Adobe support, but unfortunately the person on the phone was not very experienced in the program and unable to help.
    Some Info about my computer:
    Currently I have Photoshop CC with the 14.2.1 update.  I have Windows 7 Professional SP1, 64-bit OS,  8 GB of RAM (7.87 GB Usable) and 360 GB free space on the (C:) drive.

    Illustrator and Windows Photo Viewer agree. They should, because they're both fully color managed. I assume Photoshop shows the same.
    Picasa is not color managed. All bets are off there, it can display like anything under the sun, depending on what color space the file was created in, and how your monitor displays color.
    There is a basic checklist for color management issues:
    1 - is the application color managed at all?
    2 - is there an embedded document profile, and what is it?
    3 - what is the monitor profile?
    We've established #1. For #2, see in the lower left corner of the Photoshop image window. Click the little arrow and check "document profile". What does it say?
    #3 is often the critical one. This is where your calibrated monitor profile should be - but if you don't do that, it's often a manufacturer supplied profile. These are often worse than worthless. The best option here is to use sRGB if you have a standard gamut monitor (like the U2412) - or Adobe RGB if you have a wide gamut monitor (like your co-worker's U3011). Yes, there is a significant difference between these two.
    Anyway:
    Go to Control Panel > Color Management > Devices. Set sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as your default monitor profile there and relaunch Photoshop:
    With this setting, Photoshop, Illustrator and Windows Photo Viewer will display  (more or less) correctly. It could still be that the file had the wrong document profile, or none at all, but the file will display correctly as it is.

  • Color Issues (General&Photoshop)

    Hello. I have been having color issues with my imac for quite sometime and I have not found a good solution.
    For some reason, the image previews for files that I have in my computer appear more dull/less saturated than when I open them in Preview or even upload them to the internet. How do I fix this?
    I have already went to Preferences and calibrated my display to 2.2 gamma/65 white.
    However, when I am creating graphics in Photoshop CS for the web and save for web (as .png) and upload them to the internet, they appear slightly brighter and more washed out.
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Make sure you have photoshop preferences set to color manage. If you already are having photoshop color manage profiles then check out this forum.

  • Video Camera Color issues???

    Any one elese having color issues. Mine seems to be on the yellow side. The picture looks great but the color isnt. Not sure if this is problem or not.

    This is a known issue under incandescent lighting. I had 3 Iphone 4s (2 replacements after the original) and all 3 exhibited the same very yellow/orange coloring under this type of room lighting.
    It's a white balance issue and one that I would think could be fixed easily with a software patch.

    I have been having a issue with getting the colors on my monitor to match the colors fro my print lab. I now have the monitor calibrated to match the prints but when I open elements it doesn't use the same colors. If i have it use the calibrated profile by changing the color management settings, the color picker no longer shows true white or black. How do I get elements 12 to honor the new calibrated settings?

    Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
    I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
    Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
    It says ;
    Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
    Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
    Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
    Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
    Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
    Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
    Continuing...
    And stops ...
    Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)

  • HP Photosmart 8250 color issues

    Ive read all the threads about color issues on the 8250.  Most have no responses.  A couple had tips on what to try and I've tried them all.  Ive cleaned the heads, ran maintenance, aligned heads, turned it off and on.  Ive cleaned the heads so many times Ive used half of my ink on two cartridges.  I just spent $50 on a completely new set of ink cartridges and just replaced them all.  Each time I do the head cleaning the colors get worse.   
    I'm about ready to throw this thing out the window.  This is the 3rd printer we have purchased in the last 7 years from HP and I will probably never buy another again!  It seems they always have a similar problem like this and always during Christmas when I'm trying to do a bunch of printing!
    Does anyone know what else to do?  I'm assuming the head is bad or something but how can I tell for sure.  Or..is there a way to manually clean it.  I dont want to spend any more money on this thing...its starting to become cheaper to just replace it again but it seems pretty ridiculous for these printers to only last a couple year.

    Hi,
    You can logon to your ePrint account to check. Most likely due to no inks. Replace color ink cartridges will help.
    FYI: I ran few tests over the weekend on my loan 7510 (with one empty color cartridge) it refused to print at the beginning but it printed a document after that.
    Regards.

  • SLOW printing with HP PhotoSmart 7960

    If this has already been addressed in another thread, please someone point me there, but:
    Problem is that suddenly my HP PhotoSmart 7960 has started to take 1/2 hour to print a simple single page of text. I'm using OS X 10.3.9, by the way.
    Tried updating the drivers from HP - no good. Tried Repair Permissions - no good.
    Can someone out there tell me how to completely remove any trace of HP software / drivers from the hard drive? Is there a print queue or memory buffer that needs to be purged? Figured I'd re-install the original drivers if I could completely remove any trace of a printer or print job having previously existed.
    Spent more than a few frustrating hours on this - any help is appreciated!

    1-2 minutes! Try 10-15 minutes on my Photosmart. These things are junk. I have discussed my many issues with phone support 10-12 times in the last six months with no progress. 

  • HP Photosart 7520, printing photo from iMac iPhoto, OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 color issues

    First time ever tried printing a photo - on HP photo paper, using HP ink cartridges. It prints a color portrait accurately, except for eye glass frames and shadow shades which it prints in "green". I tried editing the same portrait in iPhoto to black and white and printing.   Again, accurate shades of black and white except for the eye glass frames & shadow shades which  printed in "green". Ruins the photo. Help please.  

    Hello Artiste,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with some portions of the print outs when printing photos.
    Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    I have also located a document on Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer Series.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • HP Photosmart 7960 Not Shown in Print Drivers

    I finally pulled the trigger and bought a MacBook Pro last Monday. I have a lot to learn having come from a PC background. I have an HP Photosmart 7960 printer hard-wired to a desktop PC running Windows XP. I use a wireless network with a Linksys router for a laptop PC also running Windows XP that shares that printer. I am trying to get my new Mac to share that printer wirelessly as well. It can find the printer on my network and then asks me to choose a printer driver from the drop-down list. The HP Photosmart 7900 series is not in the drop-down list even thought that driver is supposed to be part of the Leopard 10.5.8 OS without downloading from HP. As a matter of fact HP doesn't even offer that driver up to download because it already comes on the operating system. I picked one at random (HP Photosmart 7550 Gutenprint 5.1.3) and it will print, but that can't be the right way to go in the long run. I've been back to the Apple Store where I bought the laptop and they don't know what to tell me to do. I'm hoping someone has solved this issue so I can enjoy my new Mac.

    Hi! There are 4 7900 series drivers included in Leopard however at installation not all of them may have been chosen. I think you will have to use the install disc to install the additional drivers if they weren't installed originally.
    List of drivers HERE. Tom
    From Apple:
    Installing printer drivers
    All included printer drivers are installed by default with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. If you custom install, you can select which printer driver packages you would like installed. The Apple LaserWriter PPDs and sample drivers included with CUPS are installed as part of the Essential System Software package and cannot be customized or installed separately from Mac OS X.
    If you would like to install any of the optional printer drivers after installing Mac OS X, insert the Install disc into your computer and use Optional Installs.

  • Slow Photosmart 7960

    I have a Photosmart 7960 connected by USB to by Laptop (Toshiba P105 2.0GHz 2.0 Gb 500 Gb hard drive) which is running XP Pro.  When I print a document it takes 2  minutes or longer for it to start printing.  If I have the printer print a test page by using the front panel buttons it prints fine.  I have uninstalled the printer and re loaded the drivers with no change.  The print cartridges seem to be fine and all print, without pausing, on the test page that is done from the front panel.  Have unplugged the USB cable and power from the printer for over 15 minutes which did not help.  I am at a loss as to the cause this started suddenly after the laptop had been on a trip and then reconnected to the printer.

    It takes forever to print a page or photo or it errors and won't print- b/w and color both- color photos or printing a page its the same slow print
    How long is "forever"?  If there is a pause of 10-15 seconds at the end of each swath then it is likely that one of the print cartridges has failed.  I would start by removing and reseating the cartridges.  If this does not correct the issue you may be able to determine which cartridge is at fault by removing one of the cartrdiges and printing with the other in reserve mode, the repeat with the first cartridge installed and a different cartrdige removed.  Repeat until each cartrdige has been checked.  If print speed returns to normal with one of the cartrdiges removed that one would appear to be faulty.

  • Driver?  Networking Photosmart 7960

    Hi,
    I have an HP Photosmart 7960 connected to a Netgear wireless print server. I am trying to set up the printer to work from my G4. I had no problems setting up my Laserjet on another port on this print server. But, when I try to find a compatible driver using the Mac printer setup tools, there are none listed for this printer. I tried to install the HP software, but the driver still does not appear in the list. I have searched the forum, and this issue seems to be common. However, I have not found a thread that contains a solution. BTW - the printer installs fine if I direct connect it the G4. Any help is much appreciated.

    Hmm...
    Network printing/Windows printing only works with a driver that was meant for network printing. To use the OS X built-in CUPS network choices, you need a CUPS driver. For postscript printers, it's not an issue, because postscript is the native output of OS X, and can easily be routed to the various choices in Printer Setup.
    Non-postscript printers are Very Different. Except for Brother, no manufacturer has provided CUPS drivers. Instead, what you get is Carbonized, OS9 legacy drivers, that have the comm protocol written into the driver (mostly USB). You can only print via the comm type written into the driver.
    **Exception - when printing via an Airport/Bonjour enabled print server, where the software does a port redirection, USB output from the Mac gets routed to the USB port on Airport Express/Extreme.
    Get the hpijs and ESP ghostscript driver set:
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
    (I'm pretty sure I said the same stuff in those links - I know this is hard to swallow, but you needn't listen to me only - further research about OS X and CUPS will help you understand this driver limitation)
