Print preview shows me different colors

Hi, I'm Nevio from Italy.
I've bought a new MacPro and installed new Photoshop CC.
I've a big problem: when I have to print an image, print preview shows me the image but with different colors (there is a blue dominant and a different brightness).
I try to select another printer profile or document profile but there is no way to have the same image in the printer preview window.
How can i solve this problem?
(I also try to uninstall and re-install all the CC Software, the printer and all profiles but no solution yet)
Thanks
Nevio

Photoshop File> Print preview color has been flaky in the past, i wouldn't rely on it for color -- how does it print is the bigger question...
if it prints bad, how does your print profile SOFTPROOF

Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

Here's what I've found on the issue:
Pantone color definitions have changed (coinciding with CS6) — they are now "Pantone+" (I think that's what they're called). The "+" apparently means they're now LAB colors. Lab colors are not properly displayed in Preview (or in Finder previews) — they display as black (as far as I can tell, in all circumstances). I'm sure it's a tad more complicated than that, but that's the gist.
Now the bad news — nobody seems to know anything about a fix or workaround (unless you convert your PDFs to process — this might be a fix for sending to clients). It causes issues for me in AI files — being able to view them in the finder (with previews) is a HUGE time saver for my workflow... when they're all black, not so much.
In my chat with a director of product dev at Adobe, they placed the responsibility to fix on Apple (assuming Apple wants to support Pantone color definitions in their OS).

Blank page sent to my printer..Print Preview shows my page as a .pdf (On Mac OS 10.5.8)

A blank page is sent to the printer. When I view the text page in Print Preview, the page is blank and it is a .pdf. The print feature works fine with other browsers. This suddenly occurred. One minute I was able to print...the next minute blank pages print. I have tried two different printers and both experience the same problem on Firefox. The plug-ins are up to date.
Thanks, in advance, for any help.

Slow down a bit and think this through.
CUPS on linux is nearly identical to CUPS on OS X - but there is no Mac-to-Mac Apple proprietary print sharing. Rather, on linux you are sharing the printer using standard printing protocols. Just like on the Mac (when using the standard protocols like Windows/SMB or IP printing), linux print queues expect postscript input. Try using a generic postscript driver from the mac.
And when you add the printer via Windows Printing or IP > LPD or IPP, you will need to know the queue name for that printer from the linux box. (one computer with one IP address can have multiple printers - so what's the additional address info to print to your desired printer? - queue name.)

Address Book contact preview shows a different date than what is input in the birthday field.

When opening the address book and clicking on an entry, the preview pane at the bottom shows a different date than the date that is entered in the birthday field. It shows the day before the actual date that is entered. See images below:
Thanks!

Thunderbird numbering is based on the Extended Support Releases, which are provided every seven "regular" cycles (thus after 7 6-week cycles = every 42 weeks) to minimize fallout from new features hitting the releases to frequently. Initially, those release were issued to organizations only which require some kind of internal review or certification of software prior to deployment.
Currently we are in the "37.0" cycle and 38 beta 1 has just been released (but doesn't have the fix yet). Meaning, the next release after 31.6.0 won't be 31.7.0 but 38.0 already, followed by 38.1.0 up to 38.6.0, the continuing with 45.0, etc.
Confusing, yes, but that's what they came up with.

Print Preview shows items that have been deleted?

Hello folks.
This is a weird problem a switcher friend of mine is having.
Let's say they have three events on the 12th. They choose to print the month view of their iCal window. In the Print preview on iCal (where you can select all kinds of options for printing, like the size of the text, which calendars to print, etc) all sorts of events and appointments show up on the 12th that have been deleted or no longer exist.
I tried reimporting the calendars, deleting the iCal cache, etc.
Does anybody know a workaround for this? I am thinking this is a bug, but wanted to see if anybody else has seen this.
This is on a 2.1 G5 iMac with all updates and no hacks.
Thanks!

Anyone?

Word document print preview shows entire pasted image, but prints only part of image

I just bought a new HP 8620. When doing a copy and paste into Word, everything is shown in the print preview. However, part of the image, usually the bottom, is not printed.

Hi nedamirakl,
Thank you for your response!
If you copy a photo, does it print the whole picture? Copy Text or Mixed Documents.
After some further searching, I would recommend to try the shrink to fit option in Word, Shrink to Fit in Word 2010 and Word 2013.
If that does not work, please try the following:
Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Re-install the software using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Hope this helps, and have a nice day!

Print Preview shows (and prints) only a portion of a page,

Not the printer's fault - it prints what Print Preview sends it (about half a page).

There's a couple of old Bugs ''(over 8 years old)'' in Firefox that can cause that to happen with some web pages. One Bug was recently fixed for Firefox 4.0b8, but it doesn't look like it will be applied to Firefox 3.6.x versions.
There may be a workaround you could apply for a specific domain via a Stylish script, but we'd need the URL of that page and a screen shot of the Print Preview window to try to help you fix it.

Upgraded to 29.0.1 on XP. Print preview shows but when I hit print it just "dings" and nothing else, no print. No dialog box apprears either.

Printing from all other programs works fine including Chrome and Explorer. Ever since my Foxfire browser was updated to 29.0.1 I have not been able to print webpages.
When I hit print the computer does an audible "ding" and nothing happens. Doesn't matter if I choose File>print, f10, <ctrl> P or "print" from print preview, same thing happens.
The printer is on-line and recognizable by other apps.
No dialog box appears so I cannot choose a printer.
When I hit page setup I only get "format & options" and "margins & header/footer".
Help!

Hi,
Thank you for your question. There are two things I would try. It is possible that the printer settings may need to be reset. [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]] or you Java may need to be updated. Check if they are up to date with [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ Plug in check]

Print preview for so10 differs btw dev n prd

Hi experts,
how come the preview of so10 between prd n dev is different even the line spacing n font is the same
i use dot matrix printer to preview

Hi ester,
1. how did u transport the standard text
   from DEV to PRD?
2. Probably the contents of standard text
   are different in DEV and PRD.
   Other wise its not possible.
3. In SO10
   The STYLE and FORM (Default is SYSTEM)
   may not have been transported to PRD
( in case its ur own style and form)
4. Maybe the SYSTEM FORM is different
in both servers.

PHP 5 after upload it shows a different color scheme......?

like it isn't valid.
Now the php script does parse something, but not what i aspected. So i wanted to change some code,but then i saw DMW coloring the code like it was wrong.
Could this be a php5 issue as i am using DMW 8?

No. Dreamweaver 8 supports PHP 5.

Printing from LR has a different color cast.

I have Windows Vista and the latest version of LR and everytime I print using LR the print preview shows a different color and so does the print. When i use the same picture and print using PSCS3 or any other application it looks good. I have tried changing all the settings from within LR under the printer properties but nothing seems to help.
I changed all of the computers default profile to ProPhoto and now everything from within LR looks good but everything else looks awfull.
I also tried changing the PSCS3 to ProPhoto hoping that would help but it seems the only thing to do is not to color manage when in PSC3.
It seems its only when I shoot in RAW.
Please help!

There are problems with printing in Lightroom from Vista. Some drivers don't allow you to turn off color management in the driver. Sometimes the only remedy is to let the driver manage. Also make sure you have the very very latest version of the driver.
>I changed all of the computers default profile to ProPhoto and now everything from within LR looks good but everything else looks awfull.
That is an extremely bad idea. You need to profile your monitor. Never assume a profile such as prophoto. At most, delete the profile in the monitor's preference, effectively making your computer assume sRGB for the monitor.
>I also tried changing the PSCS3 to ProPhoto hoping that would help but it seems the only thing to do is not to color manage when in PSC3.
And that is the absolute worst idea. In Photoshop, set a standard space as the working space, such as sRGB, adobeRGB, or prophoto and set it up to ALWAYS respect embedded profiles. Otherwise you are guaranteeing incorrect color. Also, do not try doing any color critical work without profiling your monitor. Not doing so will always frustrate your efforts at printing. Lastly, never assume a canned profile for your monitor. They are almost always incorrect and actually have corrupt perceptual rendering profiles, tripping up color in Lightroom.

[WIN XP] Epson 3800 Print Previews

Hi,
After spending quite some time with Lightroom I developed kind of a love/hate relationship which more and more swings over to the love side. Right now I love LR because my prints come out of my 3800 like a charm!
One behaviour that I can't explain though:
If I am printing out of Photoshop, the Epson printer preview roughly matches the print. I am leaving the CM to PS, and I am using a hardware (Gretag) calibrated and profiled monitor. I am also using specific paper profiles. Results are perfect. Same good results for b/w with the Epson extended b/w mode.
In LR the printer preview shows totally unusable colors (magenta, too light etc.). The print itself: Perfect! Same behaviour of the preview with different paper profiles, CM to LR, CM to printer. BUT: The print preview in the Epson extended b/w mode was ok, as was the print itself.
Printing without preview delivers the same good results.
Does somebody have a clue why there are these differences between PS and LR?
The print preview isn't all that important to me. But without this possibility I really, really would like to see softproofing in LR.
Regards, Wolfgang

Thanks Dave for the reply. I do monitor the forums quite closely and have read all the links you suggest. The request for some more discussion was after already conducting tests about specific areas outlined in my post. Again, thanks for the reply. Any other replies would be nice too. LOL.

Color Discrepency between Develop image and Print Preview

Is there any way to alter the color image in the Develop module so that it matches the color of the image in the print preview screen? The colors in the final printed image match those of the ones displayed in the print preview screen and are nothing like the colors I am adjusting in the Develop module. Thanks for the input.

The web preview on windows machines should not match anything indeed. Internet explorer is not color managed at all (shame on you MS). If the web preview matches your print, but the develop screen doesn't it means that you have miscalibrated your screen. Your screen is probably very close to sRGB as many are and you could probably get away with just using sRGB as the screen profile (not recommended for real color management BTW). Anyways, we have seen gobs and gobs of windows color management issues come by here that turned out to be corrupt monitor profiles. As a test, try clearing the profile that you have selected in the monitor's properties dialog (and thereby selecting the default sRGB) and restarting LR. If you still see a difference between the different modules, the monitor profile was corrupt and you should recalibrate.

Print Preview: SAP GUI showing updated text, CRM UI not showing updated text

Hello,
can anyone please help me with "Print Preview" button in CRM UI:
In the CRM UI when a certain data is changed on the document, a note on the document is updated with changes in data. When pressing the "Print Preview" button the generated PDF is not showing an updated text. If i run the SmartForm directly in SAP GUI after the data change, the generated PDF shows an updated text. If i reload the CRM UI (close the browser and run the CRM_UI transaction) the "Print Preview" shows an updated text.
What should i do, that the Print Preview in the CRM UI would also show an updated text (without reloading the CRM UI) ?
Im thinking it could be a problem with the parameters SFPDOCPARAMS and SFPOUTPUTPARAMS, that are used when calling the SmartForm FM. The parameters are set as this:
   ls_outputparams-nodialog = 'X'.
   ls_outputparams-getpdf = 'X'.
   ls_outputparams-connection = 'ADS'.
   CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
     CHANGING
       ie_outputparams = ls_outputparams
     EXCEPTIONS
       cancel          = 1
       usage_error     = 2
       system_error    = 3
       internal_error = 4
       OTHERS          = 5.
   ls_docparams-country = 'SI'.
   ls_docparams-langu = sy-langu.
   CALL FUNCTION lv_name
     EXPORTING
       /1bcdwb/docparams = ls_docparams
       I_HEADER_GUID      = ls_orderadm_h_wrk-guid
     IMPORTING
       /1bcdwb/formoutput = ls_formoutput
     EXCEPTIONS
       usage_error        = 1
       system_error       = 2
       internal_error     = 3
       OTHERS             = 4.
SAP gurus, please help

I figured the solution:
In the Code Initialization of my interface (SFP transaction) i had to initialize the buffer:
   CALL FUNCTION 'INIT_LOAD_TEXT_BUFFER'
     EXPORTING
       EXCL_ID       = ls_stxh-tdid
       EXCL_LANGUAGE = ls_stxh-tdspras
       EXCL_NAME     = ls_stxh-tdname
       EXCL_OBJECT   = ls_stxh-tdobject
     EXCEPTIONS
       NOT_FOUND     = 1
       OTHERS        = 2.
This way the text is loaded from the updated note every time a "Print Preview" button is pressed.

About mismatch in print layout in direct print and print preview and pdf!

Hi ,
I have created one smartforms,when I run the standard trasaction VF03 and select any output type and then when I click on print preview button,and then when I put PDF! in address bar ,the print preview will convert in PDF format,it will show output without bold and comes only in normal fonts.
Also, when I run transaction VF03 and direct click Print button, then it shows print as per requirement , but it overwrites some part on the end of page where company address is priprinted on stationary,so how can i show print format same in both condition without overwriting?
Thanks.

HI friend,
The one which is coming in the print (hard copy) is the correct one.
Print preview may be different.
So if the print is coming in overlapping format means check whether the windows are aligned properly. Because if you have given any data in main window and when it grows it over laps on another window.
If that's is correct check the printer settings for it. Only these would cause the print to be distorted.
Check this and revert back if you have any issues we will help you.
Thanks,
Sri Hari
