Pls. help w/ weird CS4 ID color (not) printing problem

Just recently moved up from CS2 to CS4, on a Mac running OS 10.5.8 and have run into a weird problem printing to a Konica Minolta BizHub color laser printer. It first happened when the solid light blue background on an old file converted from CS2 wouldn't print. Colors applied to text in the document printed fine, as did color in a placed .eps logo. In troubleshooting here's what what I've found: I can create a brand new document, create simple rectangles filled with solid cyan, solid yellow, solid magenta and black, and only the black will print. However, color filled POLYGONS do print in color just fine--it's only filled rectangles don't print. Here's what I've already tried to fix it: I exported the file back down the chain and printed it from ID CS2 from another Mac and it printed just fine (so it's not the printer); I can print colors just fine from Illustrator CS4 on the Mac where I have the problem (so it's not the BizHub driver); I've restarted the Mac and ID several times, AND I manually trashed the ID preferences (both the Defaults and Saved Data files). No luck. Any ideas?
More info: continuing my experiments I found that converting a non-printing rectangle through the "convert shape" dialog into a round-corner rectangle allow it to print. A polygon that prints fine, no longer prints if it's converted to a rectangle through the "convert shape" dialog. So the problem is strictly related to square-cornered rectangles.

InDesign CS4 Blends and ƒx junk didn't work with our BizHub until after applying the new RIP/Driver/Firmware cocktail.
Are you running V1 or V2 Creo RIP software? If you still have a support contract you can contact Danka (now Konica Minolta digital imaging) and see about getting the new software loaded. Should be running V2.0SP1. V1 has some major kinks with CS4 ƒx, especially nasty with the gradient feather.
I've got a BizHub here if you want me to see if it works on ours too.

Colors not printing correctly. Only blue and black work.

I just got a new HP OfficeJet all in one inkjet 8620 printer. The colors aren't printing correctly. Everything comes out light blue with black lettering. I tried installing new cartridges (genuine HP) and also tried gently shaking the cartridges. But the problem persists.

Hi @Iolanthe ,
I see that you are experiencing issues with the colors not printing correctly. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve the issue.
Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Officejet Pro 8610, 8620, 8630, 8640, and 8660 e-All-in-One...
Please let me know the results of the Print Quality Diagnostic Page?
If the test pages are printing properly, it could be a software issue.
What operating system are you using? Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Officejet 8620)
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
Let me know how the printer name was listed.
From the application, make sure you are selecting the proper paper type.
Try another application to see if you have the same issue.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

Not printing text-only graphics on Canon. Not printer problem-print ok on Brother and another network Apple prints ok on Canon. Believe a computer setting was inadvertently reset. What setting and how do I reset?

Without your printer model numbers, readers can only give you vague general directions.

If you are having serious problems, it makes sense to "Reset the Printing System" (which also removes all printer set-ups) and add back each printer. It only takes a few minutes.

Color shift printing problem from LR solved!!

Check this discussion for workaround to the color shift printing problem in LR. It's for the 3800, but I assume it also applies to other Epson printers, and quite possibly to other printer vendors.

Yes it applies to Canon as well.

Dreamweaver CS4 Code Coloring not updating

Hi,
Recently, when trying to edit the code coloring in Dreamweaver CS4, it will not update the colors after I hit "ok." Anyone know why this might be? I've tried restarting Dreamweaver, clearing the cache, and even seeing if it would work on new documents but none of that helps. Thanks for any help!

Are you sure you're changing colors for you open document ?
I have issue with coloring too, but I thought after all this time CS5 will finally have Save option for exactly this issue. So I don't have to repeat this over and over again.

Pls help! USB Storage Devices does not work for K7N2 Delta-L

hi all,
I am pulling my hair out trying to resolve this issue.
Everytime i plug in a USB Storage Device/Thumb Drive(eg Creative NOMAD), my system gives an error saying task cannot be performed due to a I/O device error.
Yet, the USB ports work well with other USB devices like mouse, keyboard, USB sound cards, printers and so forth??!!
I am using WinXP SP1 and have installed the patch that comes on the CD driver. Pls help me out if you know the answer. ...
Thanks!

I'm pretty much going to confirm the same going with compatibility issues here...there is still alot of hardware out there on the market that is incompatible with many other types of hardware...
We've reached the day when alot of us like to think that ALL manufacturer devices should work flawlessly with everyone else's devices on the market. This just isn't the case and I don't ever see this being the case. Ideally it would be nice but the fact is is that no company can "cover all the bases" in this respect. There are literally hundreds of thousands of hardware mfg's out there now and this cannot be a reality unless the PC world goes Apple. Same standards for all period. No fluctuation or ability to expand on new ideas without going to the "Standard Setting Company" directly for full testing capability.
Regardless of that fact, I'm kinda surprised that you can't get this device to work on your rig. Have you tried a fresh install of XP? Have you tried using a PCI USB device to see if the MB ports are bad? Could be that the MB has a problem that doesn't show until you use that device...many things to try here to troubleshoot your problem.

All colors not printing

The magenta ink is not printing. The light and dark blue, the yellow, the light pink and the black ink are being utilized in printing. I am not getting he colors to mix red. When I align the colors/printer, all show up except the magenta. I just installed a new HP Magenta Cartridge. What is causing this problem?

There should be a utility in your printer's setup menu to clean the cartridges, run it at different levels and take a look at the difference. If print quality does not improve, contact HP.
I just hope my replies will help you solve your problems!

D7460 Several Colors not Printing

On Photosmart D7460 printer, Light Magenta and Magenta colors stopped printing, not sure how long ago as I usually print black. Checked the levels, they were fine, both above 70%. Cleaned the printheads, self tested again, still no magentas. To be clear, on the Self Test Diagnostic Page, I get the black, yellow, light cyan and cyan blocks fine, but whitespace where magentas should be. Figured they might be clogged so I replaced those 2 cartridges. No change in behavior upon a self test page, other 4 colors are fine, both magentas do not print. Cleaned the printheads again, still neither magenta shows up. The printer still prints, but anything in color looks like crap.
This is annoying and throwing money at it (new cartriges) didn't work so now I'm annoyed and angry being out the $50 or $60 I paid for a new set of cartridges. Any ideas? Has anyone encountered and corrected this problem?
Thanks,
Dan L.

I also have a photosmart d7460 printer. It has worked flawless for several years now. My problem started when I replaced the yellow and light cyan colors with refills. Now the printer always has a green tint in all of the photos. When I do the self test, it says all of the cartdriges have ink, but the self test is missing the light magneta, and the magneta colors on it. All photos have a slight green color added in some areas of the print. I have cleaned and aligned the printhead many times and get the same result. I also replaced the two cartdriges that the self test is missing and get the same result. Anyone else having this problem??? Doesn't make any sense-HP absoletely no help-PITIFUL!!!!

Hi lysipoo1,

Print Alignment Failed and Cyan color not printing on Officejet 8500 Primier

The Alignment Fails and the Cyan color is not printing.The Cyan cartridge was low and was failing to add the blue color. Even though it was not empty, I replaced it. After doing so it went through the alignment process and I received an error message "Alignment Failed" I proceeded to take the following troubleshooting steps: 1. Cleaned printhead & Alignment through the printer tools2. Reinserted the Cyan ink cartridge, cleaned & aligned printhead3. Turned the printer off, unplugged the power cord from the back of the printer for one minute and then plugged back in. I then went through the alignment again. None of these troubleshooting techniques worked. The only thing I have not done, is replace the printhead. They are so expensive and I'm worried that this may not be the issue.

Hi DavidM2,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having issues with the Cyan and the Yellow ink cartridges as well.
First off, 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.
If you are still having issues then try to replace the cartridges.
Let me know how you make out and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Photosmart 2610 yellow color not printing

My Photosmart 2610 is being a pig. It refuses to print yellow. I have gone through multiple clean and prime routines and switched the cartridge to a brand new one but nothing elicits the slightest dribble of yellow. Any help would be appreciated - thanks.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I would suggest gently blotting the printhead on a damp tissue. A working cartridge will have a strong blot of cyan, magenta and yellow. I suspect your cartridge will show only cyan and magenta.
In this case there are a few things to check. Are the cartridges original HP or reman/refilled? The latter have generally poor quality, see the study here. The other possibility is the cartridges are original HP but out of date. There is not any "expiration" on these cartridges that would cause them to not print correctly after a certain date, but very old cartridges may have failures in one or more colors. Check the end of warranty date (two years from the date of manufacture) as shown in the document here. This date is also generally printed on the back side lower right of the package. If the cartridges are very old and long beyond the end of warranty date this is the likely cause.
As a temporary measure it may help to soak the cartridge in about 1" of very hot water for about ten minutes with the nozzle plate down. Remove the cartridge and gently dry the electrical contacts with a lint free tissue and try printing.

Cp1525n color not printing

Hi there
firstly, let me appologise if this is a silly question.
I have a CP1525N color. It is setup and connected using the network. I can see the details of the printer, as well as browse to the status page in a web browser. Although the toner is not full, it isnt empty either.
The issue is that when I send something to be printed, even a test page, the document spools, the printer flashes "printing document", but nothins comes from the printer, and the document remains in the queue on the laptop.
I can print any report from the printer ok.
Any advice would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Stuart

Hi @StuartBloom ,
I'm sorry to hear that you aren't able to print from the computer. But you can print hardware test pages from the printer.
I can help you out with this today.
Since the printer is printing the test pages, we know it isn't a hardware issue. It is either a communication issue or a software related issue.
Is this model the Laserjet CP1525n or Laserjet CP1525nw?
Are you setup by a Ethernet connection or Wireless?
Here are the steps to remove the jobs from the spool folder and restart the print spooler.
How to Clear Current Print Queue In Windows Vista & Windows 7.
Print a configuration page, to get the printer's IPv4 address.
Printing a Configuration Report.
Select Method one under the operating system.
Check the IPv4 address on the computer, to make sure it matches the printer's IPv4 address.
Go to start, Devices and Printers, right click the printer, go to Printer Properties, select the Ports tab, click Configure Port. If they don't match then close the Configure Port window and click Create a Port and follow the wizard.
Type in the proper IPv4 address.
Make sure the printer is online.
Test the printer.
I would setup a Static IP address for the printer, so the IPv4 doesn't get changed.
Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
Under Windows, select Solution four: Assign your printer a static IP address.
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor if you are still having issues printing from the computer. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?

One color not printing

I have a Deskjet 841C and one color stopped printing. I replaced the color ink cartridge and the color still does not print.

Which color? If cyan or yellow this is typically caused by a very old cartridge, well beyond its shelf life. If the cartridge is an original HP check the end of warranty date as shown in the document here You can verify the issue is the cartridge by gently blotting the printhead against a damp tissue. A good cartridge will have a strong blot of cyan, magenta and yellow. Yours will likely be missing the missing color.

Color Not printing on photographs

Photographs that are in color are printing out in black and white. Why? Ink cartridges are full

What printer are you using, and which operating system are you using? Once we get that information we should be able to give you some suggestions as to what is causing your problem.
