Pictures print dark from Elements 12 on imac27 with Epson R1900

Both my colleague and I cannot print pictures matching screen brightness. I have Elements 12 with new iMac 27 and Epson R1900. He has new PC and Lightroom with Epson R1900 printer.

This is a common problem when the monitor is set too bright. Hardware needs to be calibrated with tools such as X-rite ColorMunki or Spyder Elite. You can then match your monitor to your print profile (combination of printer, paper and ink) to ensure consistent results.

Printing checks from payment program F110 with smartforms

Hi! I am working in ECC 5.0 and I want to print checks from the payment program with a smartform, I created a non standard smartform but when I try to link the smartform with the program by transaction FBZP the available options are SAPScripts only. Is possible to do it?
Thanks in advance

Hi! Even I am working in ECC 5.0 and I want to print checks from the payment program with a SAP SCRIPT Form, but the issue is that we hav the standard print program for printing the form and this form is being used by some other custom program....I want to customize the standard print program in the transaction F110 so that It successfully calls that form which is now called by some other program. I've the option of customizing the standard print program as per the program which is calling that Form but I'm not able to understand the flow of either of the print programs. Can anybody guide me here on how to understand the flow of the print and go for the customizing of the standard print program for the payment process?
Also, the current print program and Form which is being used by some other custom print program is already customized in the transaction FBZP.
Thanks in advance

The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor. When I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.

The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor. I just purchased my iMac for my photography business in Jan. (this is my first Mac). When I first tried printing, I noticed the quality wasn't as good as I expected it to be. Then, I had to print 4-3.5x5s on a sheet, so I e-mailed the image to myself and opened it on my PC to print it (much easier to print that way on PC in Windows Photo Gallery - I think it's impossible to print that way in iPhoto). That's when I first noticed that when I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.
I've already been on the phone and e-mail w/Applecare many times over this issue. We've tried creating a test user and printing from there, and we've tried reinstalling the OS. I've tried printing from iPhoto, ImageCapture, and Preview apps/utilities, all w/the same result - no comparison to the PC-printed versions (no enhancements have been performed on the PC).
I'm out of ideas, and so is Applecare. They say it's most likely a driver issue b/c the printer is outdated, and that the only solution is to buy a new printer. BUT it is a pain for me to purchase a new printer - it takes days of research due to the nature of my business and the fact that I need a printer that can print directly onto a disc. I love this printer and don't want to have to buy a new one if I don't have to.

Yes. I've checked for updates, and the driver I installed is the same as the one on Epson's website. I also spoke with Epson Customer Service, which was a dead end. Apple says the problem is due to an Epson driver issue (blaming Epson), but Epson says that with the older printers, it's actually Apple who creates the driver, so the problem is actually with Apple. Typical he-said, she-said...
Maybe not. Probably worth checking here:

Have you tried restarting the printer? Reboot the iPad as well.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Help with color setup, pictures printing dark, display looks great

Ok, first let me say I am completely new to Mac, so some of this may sound incredibly stupid but I really need some direction as to how to solve a color issue. Please bare with me as I describe what is probably a most simple fix to those of you with knowledge.
My issue is that I have great display, the pictures, (some taken with a Nikon D100 and D200 in raw format) look wonderful on screen and then, I print.... and for lack of a better description, they appear darker and less "colorful".
The printer is an Epson Photo R1800 which did a wonderful job while on my windows box (using photo shop elements). I had the problem before and after leopard so not an os issue.
I have looked around a bit and found information regarding calibration, icc profiles, etc... and have downloaded the icc profiles from the Epson website. I guess my frustration is that I expected this to be more straight forward as I did nothing but install drivers on the windows box and the pictures printed as they looked on screen, which is my ultimate goal since I am not a pro.
I guess I cannot understand the need to buy another piece of equipment to calibrate a display just to print family photos and it just doesn't make sense to me that the display, which is truly a great picture, needs to be dulled down to match what the printer is putting out. This appears to me to be more of a printer output or driver issue than the display being incorrect.
Sorry for the rant, it is one of frustration and admitted ignorance.
Would much appreciate any help.

What is (probably) happening is that the output to the display is boosting the picture to "look great" whereas what you actually need to do is have a neutral display and then adjust the picture to make it look good on that neutral display.
That's why you need to calibrate the display if you want accuracy when you print.
You may also require the output profiles for your printer, so that when the picture is printed the printer driver makes the correct mapping to the inks and paper.
There's been some other colour management threads recently - search for those and follow the links to some good articles that will explain all you need to know about colo(u)r management. It's very, very, important to get this right when you are printing for yourself, or even when you are sending the image off to a good lab to print.

Why are jpegs printing dark from InDesign?

When I create documents with jpegs, they print very dark from InDesign CS5.5. When I print the jpeg from my desktop, it comes out exactly as it appears on my monitor.
I'm sure there is a setting that I need to change, but I'm not sure what it could be.

OK. That's a start.
If you go to Edit > Color Settings... Does the dialog say they are sychronized? If not, you should do the same in Photoshop and make note of what the settings are, then in Bridge go to Edit > Creative Suite Color Settings and reset them there to the ones from Photoshop, then go back to your InDesign File and go to Edit > Assign Profiles... and assign the smae RGB and CMYK profiles listed for the color settings in Photoshop.
That should give you the same output, but there's still one more place to check. In the Print dialog, under Output, reset the Send Data field to All.

thanks a lot!

I ended up finding the answer to my problem. After pointing a client directly at one of the DPS systems, I saw the following error in the logs:

Adding this control also allowed for password changes to work from a client system.

Why can only print header from outlook mail ok with explorer 8

I have installed both Firefox and Internet explorer 8.
When I try to print emails from Outlook I only get the header.
All is ok if i remove Firefox from the system and use internet explorer. Have just reinstalled firfox and I'm back to the problem again.

I hate to be persistant but I really need some help. Let me tell you what I've done so far.
I've gone to the HP site and downloaded the latest driver for the 1320n series printer and I reinstalled and set up the printer in the print center like I've always done with any of the printers I've set up before. I still can't print from Mail, Safari, and from the system. I see on the HP site that there is a fix in the Tiger system already (I think I'm reading that right) and I shouldn't be worrying about this.
I found in one of the other forum listings about a Foomatic/hpijs and I installed that one. Nothing printed. I tried using a Generic PPD. Nothing happened.
I reinstalled the Xerox Splash printer drivers from the disk and that didn't make a difference.
In the print window, I can't make a PDF, won't let me Preview, and won't let me Print. I click on the buttons and they won't even react. It doesn't do anything. But even with the new drivers I've set up since I started all this, I can still print from Quark and Acrobat Reader. So it seems it's got something to do with the system.
I'm really frustrated here. Can someone please give me a clue if they have one? Anything would be appreciated.

Using Wireless printer 4500 series and prints dark from laptop but light when sent from a phone?

I am using a wireless f4580 printer i believe and when I print from my laptop the item print dark but when I send items from my Iphone 4 to the print they print so light you can barely see them and I just replaced the ink so I know it isn't that. What am doing wrong or what do I need to do? thanks in advance.

Do you see any advanced options for managing print quality, like "Economode printing" or changing print speed (draft, normal, best etc.) while printing from Iphone4? If yes, then choose options to give best print output.
If there are no options available while printing document, then you might need to see if you have same document or same document properties & contents (font - size, color, etc.) while printing from different computers.
Please mark the post that solves your problem as Accepted Solution

Printing Problems in CS4 with EPSON R1900

I recent bought a new Epson R1900 and much to my dismay, I can't print from InDesign or Illustrator (haven't yet tried from Photoshop). Basically what happens is that the printer ignores any settings I configure, and prints with the "Default" settings. So not only can I not control the quality or media type, but by default it uses up the Glossy Optimiser, by assuming I want to print on glossy stock.
My workaround in the meantime is to create everything as a PDF and print from Acrobat. For some reason, Acrobat can talk to the printer.
Has anyone else found these problems? Is there any solution to be had?

Ive gone crazy trying to get ID CS3 to print on my HP Laserjet P1006. Various Adobe techs have spent hours trying to find a fix. They really have been very nice and all tried
to be helpful. And - THANK GOD - most of them spoke English. Im hard of hearing and
unfortunately speak very little Indian. (Someone told me that all ID techs speak english.)
It will print PDF. And CS3 Illustrator and Photoshop will print.
One tech suggested that I download CS4 for the 30 day trial to see if it will print. But, after
reading your problem, I will skip even trying.
For quite a while, I was told that it was an Apple problem and that 10.5.6 was going
to fix it. But it didnt. My printer prints a blank page.
Ive read other CS3 printer complaints. What good is a program that wont print?

How do I print wirelessly from my Mac Pro to Epson XP-810 printer

I recently bought a Epson XP-810 printer and conected to my WiFi wireless router ASUS N750. The printer's test sheet states that network is working correctly but a "Router / Access point channel" conflict has been detected. I'm using a macbookpro with the current Maverick OS. The system setting shows the printer is on idle, but when I try printing wirelessly from laptop it doesn't print.
Any assistance or advice would be greatly apprecite it.

Do you know the printer's IP? If you have it you can use Network Utility to ping the printer. Its in System / Library / CoreServices / Applications.
Enter the IP in the empty field, the number of pings you want to send, then click Ping.
The results might help locate the problem.

Printer driver in Safari not compatible with Epson Artisan 730 printer

After being on the phone with Epson for 3 days, it seems as though Safari/Firefox/iMac is missing a driver for my Epson Artisan 730 printer. Does anyone know how to rectify this? The printer is brand new, operating with Lion and prints out gibberish, 30 pages at a time. Help!

First some people have had problems getting the printer drivers to update via software update, make sure you have the correct drivers as shown in this table.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669
To see what driver you have go to System Preferences > Print and Scan > into the printer utility and under the general tab you'll see the driver version.
To force an update delete the old driver
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15947486#15947486
I just resolved a problem with our Epson Artisan 730 and print quality, turns out the USB drivers and WIFI drivers are VERY different and the USB drivers offer much better quality, more options in the print dialog for quality and color management.
If you already have the correct version of the drivers maybe a mac connected to the printer via USB can share the printer and then you can print with the USB driver. I know that's a pain since that's what we did before we got the 730 with WIFI.
