Print Problem: inconsistent density between sizes and Lightroom/Photoshop

In the past I printed using only Photoshop. I recently made a batch of prints from Lightroom, using the same paper, printer profile, rendering intent, and noticed that the output does not match the output from Photoshop. The Lightroom prints have noticeably more density. I then noticed that large Lightroom prints, for example 16 x 24, have noticeably more density than smaller size Lightroom 6 inch x 9 inch prints. I find no difference in print density when printing from Photoshop regardless of the print size. I can not determine why I am experiencing these variations in print output.
All prints are made using an Epson 7900 on Museo Portfolio Rag, same ICC profiles, same exact setup in the Epson printer driver (off no color adjustment), PS: PS manage color and same icc profile specified in both Lightroom and Photoshop. The computer is a Windows 7 machine.
Has any one else experienced these problems? My first thought is that this is some sort of bug in Lightroom's color management. But if that was true, then it seems like a lot of people would be having this problem. I have been using a color managed workflow for a number of years and have gotten very satisfactory results. My prints are a close match to the soft proof in Photoshop. Since printing from Lightroom the prints do not match prints made from Photoshop, plus the prints made by Lightroom vary in density depending on the size. Bizarre.
Please help

Solved. Somehow the custom media setting for the Museo Portfolio Rag paper was lost when I set up the LR template. The custom media setting reduced the color density by -20 in the Epson Printer driver. With out this setting the color density was at the default zero and the density was greater.
This brings up another question that I will have to explore. I arrived at the -20 color density setting when testing various Epson Driver media settings for the 7900 prior to profiling this paper after Epson replaced the nozzle heads on my 7900 printer. I found at the default zero color density I encountered banding. Prior to the replacement of the nozzle heads the default zero color density worked fine and there was no banding. Interestingly, on the 16 x 32 print that mistakenly used the zero color density setting there was no banding. Now I want to go back and redo my media tests. Is it possible that the new print heads needed a breaking in period and that is why I encountered banding on both the Museo Portfolio Rag and the Epson mat paper?

Difference between size and length of a node

Dear All ,
Can anybody please let meknow what is the difference between size and length of a node in webdynpro java
what is the code for finding a node that how many attributes it is holding in runtime
Thanks in advance.

Dear Krishnakk
You can call the SIZE() method of the NODES and LENGTH() method on ATTRIBUTES.
Like if you have node Employee and Employee_ID and Employee_Name are attibute under it. suppose you have already populated the node employee.
***what is the code for finding a node that how many attributes it is holding in runtime
You have to identified the which node will be called based on the user actions;
You can fin the size of the node to identify number of the rows holding at runtime. loop through for to find the attributes
IWDMessageManager messageManager = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
if(wdContext.nodeEmployee.size() > 0)
         //Print Node size
         messageManager.reportSuccess("Size of the Node ::"+wdContext.nodeEmployee.size() );
         for(int i=0; i<wdContext.nodeEmployee.size(); i++
                 //Print Length of the Attributes Employee ID and Name
                 messageManager.reportSuccess("Length of the Employee Name ::"+wdContext.nodeEmployee().getEmployeeElementAt(i).getEmployee_ID().length());
                 messageManager.reportSuccess("Length of the Employee ID ::"+wdContext.nodeEmployee().getEmployeeElementAt(i).getEmployee_Name().length());
Hope it will helps

Problems using RMI between linux and windows.

I have problems using RMI between linux and windows.
This is my scenario:
- Server running on linux pc
- Clients running on linux and windows PCs
When a linux client disconnect, first time that server try to call a method of this client, a rmi.ConnectException is generated so server can catch it, mark the client as disconnected and won't communicate with it anymore.
When a windows client (tested on XP and Vista) disconnect, no exceptions are generated (I tryed to catch all the rmi exception), so server cannot know that client is disconnected and hangs trying to communicate with the windows client.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, we are implementing a sort of callback using Publisher (remote Observable) and Subscribers (remote Observer). The pattern and relative code is very well described at this link: http://www2.sys-con.com/ITSG/virtualcd/java/archives/0210/schwell/index.html (look at the notifySubscribers(Object pub, Object code) function).
Everything works great, the only problem is this: when a Publisher that reside on a Linux server try to notify something to a "dead" Subscriber that reside on a Windows PC it does't receive the usual ConnectException and so tends to hang.
As a workaround we have solved now starting a new Thread for each update (notification), so only that Thread is blocked (until the timeout i guess) and not the entire "notifySubscribers" function (that contact all the Subscribers).
Beside this, using the Thread seem to give us better performance.
Is that missed ConnectException a bug? Or we are just making some mistake?
We are using java 6 and when both client and server are Linux or Windows the ConnectException always happen and we don't have any problem.
I hope that now this information are enough.
Thanks again and greetings.
O.C.

I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It quits when the Twain portion of the program starts loading. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer will work with Photoshop??

I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It closes every time it gets to the point where it is loading the Twain portion. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer and Photoshop will work together? Thanks for any help I can get!

You're welcome.
But, no, don't look to Epson for fixes to their driver in newer versions, and Adobe has deprecated the TWAIN plug-in. Hoping for a solution there is futile. That has not happened and it's never going to happen. The consensus is that it's pretty foolish to tie up Photoshop to scan. Honestly.
Any improvement in the behavior of newer versions of the Epson drivers in that regard would be pure coincidence.
You need to understand that you never, ever scan "within" Photoshop, as Photoshop has no scanning capabilities whatsoever. When you use the Import > Twain plug-in all you are doing is blocking Photoshop while you call up the stand-alone Epson scanning software. If you think about it, its most inefficient.
VueScan has a pretty powerful scanning plug-in that can be called from the Impost menu—if you insist. VueScan is not free, but it's a pretty good value, IMO.
As for the Epson CD printing software, I have no clue. Sorry.

Problems with custom paper sizes in Lightroom

Running Mac OS-X 10.9.3 (Mavericks). using an Epson Stylus Pro 3880, latest driver installed as confirmed by Epson tech support this morning. using Lightroom 5.4.
I only see this problem in Lightroom - not in Photoshop - which leads me to conclude that the problem is not an Epson-driver problem.
The problem is the following:
In the Print Module, I click on 'page Setup' bottom left. I define my custom paper size under 'Paper Size' -> 'Manage Custom Sizes'. Click OK.
I then enter 'Print Settings...' bottom left adjacent to the 'Page Setup' button. Select my printer, click on the 'Layout' drop-down list box button and select the 3rd tab in the list: 'Paper Handling'. Here is the problem: the 'Destination Paper Size' option is grayed out and unelectable, and incorrectly shows 'US Letter', which cannot be changed. If I click on 'Scale to fit paper size', and try to make a print to my custom paper that way, it still does not work: it only prints on a fraction of the whole paper.
I have also tried Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Printers & Scanners to change the default paper size there, but it makes no difference - it still incorrectly shows as 'US Letter' in Lightroom.
This problem does not occur in Photoshop: In Photoshop, if you go to File -> Print in the menu, and then hit the 'Print Settings' button near the top, my custom paper size is selectable in the 'Paper Size' list box. So it is a problem which is specific to Lightroom.
Any help appreciated. I have spent most of the day on the phone to Epson and Adobe Tech Support, and no-one has been able to dove the problem
Thanks,

I have had the same problem, and with the same result; Adobe Tech Support can't help or fix, after 15 hours on phone, Level 2 support. It is a software bug Adobe has, and can't seem to fix. I just upgraded to Lightroom CC, and my problem migrated with the upgrade. I print in Photoshop fine.
If you found an answer, I would appreciate knowing how to do it!
Thanks

Problems with Custom Paper Size and Address Book

I'm having some trouble printing from Address Book onto a custom paper size. I'm attempting to set up a notecard, and only print one at a time, rather than multiple columns as in the Labels option. The trouble is that when creating this small size, Address Book doesn't recognize it as anything other than a regular sheet of US Letter, and thus prints the address in the middle of the page.
I have no problem printing envelopes, though, which seems odd because they too go in the manual feed for my printer. The notecards are similar width to the envelopes, but only about half the length.
Has anyone else experienced problems with custom paper sizes printing improperly? I'm using an HP 4515 LaserJet, but have access to a few other laser printers. Thanks for any insight

Network Printing Problems with Windows 8.1 and HP 8600 Officejet Pro

I can not print or scan from my Dell 2720 after the system has gone to sleep. My printer shows as connected to my network. Most time I have to completely restart my PC to get it to work but even that doesn't correct the issue most time. I have removed and reinstalled the printer at least a dozen times and updated the drivers several times. Also another oddity - my router is a dual-band (2.4 & 5 GHz) and my printer only connects to the 2.4 GHz connection which I understand is normal but any device attempting to print must be connect to the 5GHz band or nothing will print. So essentially I have two problems. Any suggestions?

Hi @mhmost,
I would be happy to help you print to your 8600. Running the Print and Scan Doctor might help. The HP Print and Scan Doctor is a free utility (tool) that helps to quickly resolve common printing, scanning and connectivity issues including but not limited to:
Connectivity:

If that does not resolve the issue, post back and let me know if there are any symbols other than green check marks and what they are next to of course. The wrench is not always easy to spot as the wrench and the check mart are in the green circle.
If you see only green check marks (), the tool did not find any problems.
If you see green wrenches (), the utility identified an issue and corrected it automatically.
If you see yellow exclamation points (), the test failed and required user action, but the step was skipped.
If you see a red X (), follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the issue.
As for the frequency, you are correct, the printer will not work over the 5.0GHz frequency, only with the 2.GHz.I suggest disabling the 5.0 frequency, and running on only the 2.4.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing back from you.

BDB read performance problem: lock contention between GC and VM threads

Problem: BDB read performance is really bad when the size of the BDB crosses 20GB. Once the database crosses 20GB or near there, it takes more than one hour to read/delete/add 200K keys.
After a point, of these 200K keys there are about 15-30K keys that are new and this number eventually should come down and there should not be any new keys after a point.
Application:
Transactional Data Store application. Single threaded process, that's trying to read one key's data, delete the data and add new data. The keys are really small (20 bytes) and the data is large (grows from 1KB to 100KB)
On on machine, I have a total of 3 processes running with each process accessing its own BDB on a separate RAID1+0 drive. So, according to me there should really be no disk i/o wait that's slowing down the reads.
After a point (past 20GB), There are about 4-5 million keys in my BDB and the data associated with each key could be anywhere between 1KB to 100KB. Eventually every key will have 100KB data associated with it.
Hardware:
16 core Intel Xeon, 96GB of RAM, 8 drive, running 2.6.18-194.26.1.0.1.el5 #1 SMP x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Diagnosis:
I'm seeing way to much lock contention on the Java Garbage Collector threads and also the VM thread when I strace my java process and I don't understand the behavior.
We are spending more than 95% of the time trying to acquire locks and I don't know what these locks are. Any info here would help.
Earlier I thought the overflow pages were the problem as 100KB data size was exceeding all overflow page limits. So, I implemented duplicate keys concept by chunking of my data to fit to overflow page limits.
Now I don't see any overflow pages in my system but I still see bad bdb read performance.

The above stats show that there is too much time spent locking (futex calls) and I don't understand that because
the application is really single-threaded. I have turned on asynchronous transactions so the writes might be
flushed asynchronously in the background but spending that much time locking and timing out seems wrong.
So, there is possibly something I'm not setting or something weird with the way JVM is behaving on my box.
I grep-ed for futex calls in one of my strace log snippet and I see that there is a VM thread that grabbed the mutex
maximum number(223) of times and followed by Garbage Collector threads: the following is the lock counts and thread-pids
within the process:
These are the 10 GC threads (each thread has grabbed lock on an avg 85 times):

Maybe I should make my application a Concurrent Data Store app as there is really only one thread doing the writes and reads. But I would like
to understand why my process is spending so much time in locking.
Can I try any other options? How do I prevent such heavy locking from happening? Has anyone seen this kind of behavior? Maybe this is
all normal. I'm pretty new to using BDB.
If there is a way to disable locking that would also work as there is only one thread that's really doing all the job.
Should I disable the file system cache? One thing is that my application does not utilize cache very well as once I visit a key, I don't visit that
key again for a very long time so its very possible that the key has to be read again from the disk.
It is possible that I'm thinking this completely wrong and focussing too much on locking behavior and the problem is else where.
Any thoughts/suggestions etc are welcome. Your help on this is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rama

Movie export size not available/balance between size and quality

Hi,
I imported some film into iMovie 08 from my Canon HD camcorder, at full 1920 x 1080 size. After I finished editing it, I wanted to export the final movie at 960 x 540. This size is not available under the "standard" share options ("large" is 1280 x 720 and "medium" is I can't remember what exact size but smaller than 960 x 540). Similarly, when I go into "Export using QuickTime" and try to create an H.264 movie there, the 960 x 540 option simply isn't available. What gives?
The reason I wanted to use this size was to try to cut down on file size. I exported the movie at 1280 x 720 and got a 380Mb file. So I wanted to try it at 960 x 540 and see what difference that made to the file size and quality. Since I couldn't seem to do it using iMovie, I ended up taking the 1280 x 720 video and using ffmpegx to convert it to 960 x 540. The problem is that I ended up with a file that was, bizarrely, even bigger (384Mb), and that had a thin green line across the bottom of the video.
So, in summary, my three questions are:
1. Why can't I export from iMovie in 960 x 540?
2. Why does my ffmpegx conversion result in an even bigger file?
3. What's the best way for me to get the optimum balance between file size and quality? (For viewing on Apple TV/HD television).
Thanks in advance,
Rob

Another very good 3rd party slideshow application is PhotoPresenter. It has some of the nicest themes I've seen in any slideshow application (including the Apple TV introduction theme) and will export to a variety of sizes up to 720 x 480 which is DV-DVDCPRO - NTSC.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Problem of routing between inside and outside on ASA5505

I have a ASA5505 with mostly factory default configuration. Its license allows only two vlan interfaces (vlan 1 and vlan 2). The default config has interface vlan 1 as inside (security level 100), and interface vlan 2 as outside (security level 0 and using DHCP).
I only changed interface vlan 1 to IP 10.10.10.1/24. After I plugged in a few hosts to vlan 1 ports and connect port Ethernet0/0 (default in vlan 2) to a live network, here are a couple of issues I found:
a) One host I plugged in is a PC, and another host is a WAAS WAE device. Both are in vlan 1 ports. I hard coded their IP to 10.10.10.250 and 10.10.10.101, /24 subnet mask, and gateway of 10.10.10.1. I can ping from the PC to WAE but not from WAE to the PC, although the WAE has 10.10.10.250 in its ARP table. They are in the same vlan and same subnet, how could it be? Here are the ping and WAE ARP table.
WAE#ping 10.10.10.250
PING 10.10.10.250 (10.10.10.250) from 10.10.10.101 : 56(84) bytes of data.

5 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
WAE#sh arp

Internet 10.10.10.1 Adj 00:1E:F7:7F:6E:7E ARPA GigabitEthernet1/0
b) None of the hosts in vlan 1 in 10.10.10.0/24 can ping interface vlan 2 (address in 172.26.18.0/24 obtained via DHCP). But on ASA routing table, it has both 10.10.10.0/24 and 172.26.18.0/24, and also a default route learned via DHCP. Is ASA able to route between vlan 1 and vlan 2? (inside and outside). Any changes I can try?
Here are ASA routing table and config of vlan 1 and vlan 2 (mostly its default).
ASA# sh route
Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP

C 127.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 is directly connected, _internal_loopback
C 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 is directly connected, inside

interface Vlan2
nameif outside
security-level 0
ip address dhcp setroute
interface Ethernet0/0
switchport access vlan 2
All other ports are in vlan 1 by default.

I should have made the config easier to read. So here is what's on the ASA and the problems I have. The ASA only allows two VLAN interfaces configured (default to Int VLAN 1 - nameif inside, and Int VLAN 2 - nameif outside)
port 0: in VLAN 2 (outside). DHCP configured. VLAN 2 pulled IP in 172.26.18.0/24, default gateway 172.26.18.1
port 1-7: in VLAN 1 (inside). VLAN 1 IP is 10.10.10.1. I set all devices IP in VLAN 1 to 10.10.10.0/24, default gateway 10.10.10.1
I have one PC in port 1 and one WAE device in port 2. PC IP set to 10.10.10.250 and WAE set to 10.10.10.101. PC can ping WAE but WAE can't ping PC. Both can ping default gateway.
If I can't ping from inside interface to outside interface on ASA, how can I verify inside hosts can get to outside addresses and vise versa? I looked at ASA docs, but didn't find out how to set the routing between inside and outside. They are both connected interfaces, should they route between each other already?
Thanks a lot

Printing Problem with CS 6 extended and Canon Pro 9500

My prints are no longer coming out centered. I have the "center" box checked in the CS6 print dialogue box. The prints are not centered left to right or top to bottom.
This seems to be a problem since I upgraded to CS 6 extended and or newest print driver for my Canon Pro 9500.
I believe that since I did one or both of these changes there is a border (consitst of slanted hash marks around the perimiter of the print dialogue picture) in the preview of the print.
The border segments left and right are not equal and are very uneven in width. The top and bottom borders are closer but still not even in width.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thanks,
Dennis

Printing problem from Adobe Acrobat 8 and Reader 9

Hello together,
i've got a problem while printing from Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 and Acrobat Reader 9.
I've got the Error: /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstoraster failed
It happens with my new Canon ip4700 and my brother laser printer.
I got the newest available Version of OSX and the Adobe Updates.
The PDF files are printed in the "OSX Preview", but not in the Adobe Software
Happy for any help or advice.
Best,
Lukasz

Acrobat 8 and Reader 9 are not compatible. The only versions of Reader and Acrobat designed to be compatible with each other in Windows is Reader and Acrobat X.

Printing problem with new Intel iMac and Indesign CS3

Hi there,
this might not be the right place to ask for, but has anybody here experienced printing problems in Indesign CS3 with Tiger?
I just installed the software and tried to print out of Indesign, but nothing. I can see on the panel that data is beeing received but no printing action. And this is just out of the new Indesing CS3.
Any suggestions?
Best
Rolf

Our office is printing fine from ID & PS CS3. This is from Intel & PPC Mac's running 10.4.9.
What is your printer and how is it configured for printing, ie USB or IP.
Also, have a look at the cups error log. You can find this via System Profiler > Software > Logs. This will show which process is failing for the spooled job. You can post it back here for more help.

Wireless printing problems with 10.5.4 and Epson printers

Anyone else know about problems with Epson printers such as this no longer functioning wirelessly with bonjour once upgrade to 10.5.4? It appears they are not supporting this with a new driver yet?
At this time, Epson says they have no drivers for 10.5 and this specific printer but wondered if there are more general problems with 10.5.4 and bonjour with Epson or others?
Thanks

MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.5.4) Using Epson CX11-NF printer

I have 5 computers-G4 PowerPC, two G4 12" laptops, G5 Mac Pro dual, Macbook Pro--with the older computers all running 10.4.11, the new ones 10.5.4. Until Friday, I was able to print with all of them to an Epson Stylus Photo R200 via Airport Extreme. After installing software for my new G3 iPhone on the G5 Mac Pro the printer connections on all the computers stopped working. I have so far been able to get the G4 Power PC to print, but none of the others. I have tried Bonjour, Gimp-print v.5.0.0-beta 2, cleared all the print drivers and restarted, and everything else I have been able to find on both Epson and Apple sites. The Printer Set Utility described by Epson does not exist in Leopard machines, and doesn't work for the older laptops. As soon as I select one of the printers in the "selected printer in print dialogue box" it grays out. I have set up sharing on the G4Power PC that does print, but it is not accessible--it shows up but is grayed out. There is a diamond next to the printers in the Print dialogue box in applications' menus, but it still doesn't work. It either cannot make the connection, cannot find the printer, or keeps spinning with the message that it is finishing printing (but it hasn't even started.) Again, everything worked fine until the new iPhone was added to the mix. My old iPhone didn't cause any problems. This is really a problem. Any suggestions welcome.

Shared Canon MP500 print problem using 10.5.4 and InDesign

Here's a wierd one!
I am using a brand new Mac Pro running 10.5.4, on a network connected to a G5 PowerMac 1.6 Ghz running 10.4.11. The Powermac has a Canon MP500 inkjet printer attached.
So when I print from the Mac Pro I use the shared printer. I am trying to print a landscape A4 document direct from Indesign (CS3 ver 5) - but using the shared printer I can not get it to print on the paper the right way round! It works perfectly from word or preview.
So I thought it might be Indesign so I plugged the printer directly to the Mac Pro and it works fine. So is there perhaps an issue with shared printing on leopard?
Any thoughts would be good!

I think you may find that this is more of a CS3 issue, rather than a Leopard printing sharing issue - you said yourself that Word and Preview are okay.
We've had issues with our Canon printers with Fiery print controllers and landscape printing. We found that landscape documents would print the first page fine and the following pages in Portrait. Checking the Adobe forums we saw others having the same issue and a workaround that has worked for us to date.
In the ID print dialog, select Setup and change the Paper Setup to 'Defined by Driver'. Then select the Page Setup tab on the bottom of the print dialog and select the Canon printer and Landscape orientation. Okay this and then try printing...
