Pictures are printing red

Hi, recently purchased a HP photosmart printer, set it up ok about 4 weeks ago, printed about 3 or 4 pictures and they come off fine. Not used it since, just tried to print some pictures off and they came out red!
Ink levels are pretty much full, any ideas??
Thanks

What printer do you have? Should be able to print a diagnostic plot somehow.. look for a tools menu and something like a print quality report.
Check to see if your cyan ink is printing ok.

Pictures are printed on the edge of the paper using ipad with iOS 7

Pictures are printed near the edge of the paper instead of being printed on the center of paper. Using ipad 2 with ios 7 and hp 3520.
Can anyone suggest anything to fix this issue.
Thanks in advance !

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

CS6 in combination with FileMaker - Pictures are printed to big but shown on screen correct size

I'm using FileMaker since more than 10 years together with pictures made in PS (since version CS2) saved as .jpg / 100dpi
it always worked perfect!
Now I got CS6 and any new picture is shown in the correct size but when I print it out of FM it gets much to large

when I print it out of FM it gets much to large
If the parameters are correct in Photoshop then the problem would seem to lie with FileMaker and thus not necessarily be a rewarding subject for a Photoshop Forum.
Do the files output correctly from other applications (Indesign, Preview, …)?

Pictures are tinted red when playing on TV

Has anyone experienced and/or solved this issue? When playing pictures from the library (not streaming) they are all tinted with a reddish hue. This happened after a few hours of normal operation. I restarted the machine and it did nothing to help the problem. i checked all the cables, the component cables are set correctly.i checked the TV colour menu, and everything is set correctly. i set the machine back to factory standards and after syncing the library again, i still get that red tint.
i bought this as a gift to a family member, but it's been more of a hassle than a gift...
anyone has any ideas?

Sounds odd.
Do movie/video trailers look red too? If so I'd suspect a loose connection in the leads or a failure of the TV component input or AppleTV component output - can you try a DVD player or something with component output to see if it narrows it down to AppleTV?
I assume the photos look ok on the synced computer - it is possible that the synced computer has a badly uncalibrated monitor and that the user has made the photos look good on the monitor which then causes them too look bad on a decent display. long shot that though. Is the famly member syncing from PC or Mac?
Any chance the images are in some peculiar colour space which AppleTV isn't handling?
Can you burn some images to a CD/DVD and display them via a DVD player - if so and they look odd it's likely to be the images.
Any example images you can post?

Print problems only pictures are print not text

Macbook air with caonon mx870.

Hello there, marcvdw.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting printer issues:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
USB printers and Bonjour-enabled network printers
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Aperture 2.0 - Many Pictures now Seeing RED in lighted areas and BLUE

Here's my problem, I just upgraded to Aperture 2.0 and many of my pictures now have bright lighted areas (like a light) showing up as RED in the viewer. I'm not sure if they will print this way, but I'm a bit concerned. I was able to go into the adjustments area and tweak "Recovery" up a notch to get rid of the red, but I have over 10,000 photos so I don't see this as a very useful solution. I also found areas of BLUE in black areas for photo, again a small adjustment to the black point removed this.
So I have a couple of questions:
1. Can someone explain to me these areas of RED and BLUE and why they would occur.
2. How do I fix this on my Library without distorting my photos.
Thanks

You must have activated the "highlight hot and cold areas" function. No, you photos will not print with those highlights, and you can toggle them on and off either through the view menu (the option to turn on highlight hot and cold areas is near the bottom), or simply press option-shift-h.
This feature is great for recovering highlights and bringing out shadow detail using the recovery and black point sliders in the adjustments pane.

Hi
I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

Do the following:
Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
Calibrate the monitor

I guess you need to fix it
Or if you would like some help provide some information - there are no mind reader supporting this forum and we can only work with the information you give us - right not that is "it does not work"
iPhoto has no "save to PDF" function - exactly what are you doing? and what exactly do you want to do?

My 4x6 pictures are not printing.

My 4x6 pictures are not printing fully on the 4x6 paper. What do I do?

Hi there,
Could you provide a little more info for the community? Is only part of the picture printing or is there a border that you are trying to get rid of? Also what model printer is this and what operating system are you using?
You can say thanks by clicking the Kudos Star in my post. If my post resolves your problem, please mark it as Accepted Solution so others can benefit too.

My pictures are not printing well--how do you do a proper color calibration say for--Costco

My pictures are not printing well--how do you do a proper color calibration say for--Costco, Target and other companies? They lack color and are too dark, but on my Retina OSX 10.9.4, they look dreamy!

Hi Clinton,
Firstly thank you for replying to my plight. I just use Costco, Target. They all come back rather dark, or on the brown grey side especially Costco. I will try to ask these companies for their color profile, but then what do I do with it once I have it? I am not computer literate, so you would have to explain in English for sure. I do not use a printer for printing--only commercial places. I loved Apple printing, but sometimes they take a little too long turn around time so I use Ritz Pics (which I have little trouble with their pictures).
Thank you so much for your help!!!!!

Printed pictures are too dark

My pictures printed from Iphoto 5 are too dark, I have tried my home printer, kodak, and Fuji. The results are the identical. However, when I import the same pictures in Photoshop CS they print just fine.
I am now having the Aperture 2.1.1 "trial" and i have the same exact problem with my home printer. In addition, some of the pictures (not all of them)are not sharp, they seem out of focus. I have exported the same pictures to my desktop and printed them with "Graphic Converter". The pictures are much better, but i still get a few which seem to be out of focus. I then took the same desktop images and used Photoshop Elements 6 ( also on trial)to print them. Photoshop is printing the pictures correctly (photoshop elements 6 does not have a printing profile for Mac's and the printing is managed by the printer's HP software). I must be missing a printer setting when using the Apple programs. My Aperture colorsync setting is set to "HP D7300 premium plus".I have a 1.8 Ghz G5, OSX 10.4.11, and an HP D7360 printer. Can anyone give me an idea of what i am doing wrong?

Hello Donna,
I use the printer settings:
roll paper
premium semigloss photo paper /250)
color: color
advanced settings: 1440dpi with no other boxes checked
I turn off color management
in LR the Profile I made for this special paper/printer is selected.
It's the latest 9800 printer driver, downloaded just a few days ago.
I came across the endless threads on maybe the same subject only some hours ago. (
Sean McCormack, "Printing Problems in Lightroom" #70, 26 Feb 2007 6:19 pm) Tried the trick with chosing the 9800 as default printer, but it didn't help. The printer settings tell me the profile used is: *systemstandard* (that's german: some sort of default (standard) of the system. Maybe it's the same as the "generic RGB profile" mentioned, but I'm not sure.
I also print from LR on a G5 to an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 via USB with absolutely no problems.
Here I want to print from Lightroom on an Intel Duo Core to a networked printer, the 9800.
I'd LOVE first of all to get a somehow *canonical* statement that printing on a networked printer from Lightroom is possible, Yes or No. (As I said before, it is no problem from PS CS3)
If the common experience is, that one cannot print from LR to a networked (Epson pro) printer, then I'll surely not go on reading tons of discussions to find the needle in the hay.
@ Donna: I'd be very grateful for any suggestions!
@ Andreas: certainly the printer driver on the networked Mac G4 the Epson 9800 is attached to is older than the one on my Intel Mac. Is that what you mean? I'll try to fix that.
@ dyp: the profile shown in the printer setting is: *systemstandard* (system default, in german). Looked up Color Sync in the library, I find the profiles folder, but nothing to chose any profile as my default. Where do you do that in Color Sync?
Thank you all a lot for helping!

When i print from the web pictures are black and white not color

Having trouble with printing from web the pictures are not color on;y black and white. Ink levels are fine and I have run cleaning and aligning tools. What other solutions am I missing?

I have tried 100%, AutoZoom, Page width,page fit and actual size and they are all the same size. About 2/3s the size it should be. My printer is set correctly
and I also reset the printer in msconfig as suggested by another helper. It changed to default and this has not helped. Do I need to reset the msconfig file back to user?

Very random pictures are red X's

While in DW8 I hit "preivew in browser" and everything looks
great, nothing wrong at all. But when I uploaded my site just
random pictures are red X's. My nav bar is supposed to be a roll
over type but again, when uploaded it "rolls over" to red X's.
For instance this page.....
http://michellestest.110mb.com/350z/350z.html
This is still in progress.....please keep that in
mind.......this is just a hobby that I'm still new to.......
I know I have other issues. I'm working on those as we speak.
Right now, if anyone can help with what the issue with the pictures
once uploaded is. That's be great.

Here is the link to one of those photos taken from your code:
http://michellestest.110mb.com/Documents%20and%20Settings/Michelle/My%20Documents/RFR/350d rivetrain.jpg
That is a complete mess, hard to even imagine how you created
it. The first
part (
http://michellestest.110mb.com/)
looks right but the next portion
(Documents%20and%20Settings/Michelle/My%20Documents/)
points to your harddrive.
Errors like this usually mean you failed to properly define
your site in DW.
Start there. Access DW's Help (F1) and search on "define
site". Read and
follow the directions to correctly define your site. Then you
will have to
re-link all those problem images. HINT: Make certain every
image is inside
your local root folder for the site.
