Printer adds blue, how do I fix this? color profile? calibration?

I have an HP 3210 printer and iphoto 06.
When I make a copy of a picture with the printer in stand alone mode, the copy is almost an exact.
When I scan the photo into iphoto and print it, the printer seems to add blue.
How do I fix this?
Can I create a custom solor profile or something to get it right?

Patrick:
First, you did check your ink cartridges to make sure you're not out in any of them? Duh. Make sure your monitor is calibrated. I use sRGB as the profile and adjust the brightness to make up for the aging monitor. Setting the gamma at 2.2 will help with just darkness.
Do you have iPhoto's Advanced preferences set to Embed Color Profile? Not sure what would cause too much blue but in the Advanced printer settings under the Copies and Pages menu there are a couple of sections that you can use to adjust the print settings; Color Option and ColorSync. Create a new setting under the Presets menu and save those settings before each trial so that once you get what you want it will be easy to just select that preset and print.
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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Reinstalled Printer prints garbage. How do I fix this?

    Hi
    Baffled!!
    Hardware - 2 windows 7 PCs (IBM R60 & Tosh Tecra M10) on a simple home workgroup network.
    One aging Laserjet 6P/MP Postscript connected to one of them (Tosh) via a USB->Parallel port connector.
    All was working fine and has been for many months. And then a print job failed. It was hard to get rid of the job so I ended up deleting the print queue on the Tosh (stopping spooler and deleting files (from spool\printers) and resintalling the printer on the
    Tosh.
    Win7 does not find the printer automatically so I have to pick a port. Im told I have 3 USB printer ports - how do I know which one to usel does it matter and I thoguht they were supposed to go away when not used? Anyway I pick one and yes I can print but only
    garbage - loads of small 9pt - looks like line printer font) characters with osme overprinting
    Hmm so a few checks
    = Printer self-test works fine and reports no problems
    = Printer test print works fine.
    - Print test page from windows 7 is garbage - lines of small (6pt?) random characters, some overprinting - basically garbage.
    - In desparation, I dug out an old XP laptop with an actual parallel port plugged in the printer (which had the printer installed on iun a few years back) and it  printed perfectly first time.
    I have deleted printers from devices and printers (also printers and printer drivers from print management), rebooted and reinstalled printers and drivers until I am sick of it.
    I have tried LPT1 and the USB port
    I have tried installing the printer on a different computer (the one that normally accesses it via the network)
    So I suspoect a problem with the printer drivers. I have tried to ensiure fresh drivers were downloaded but I am not clear whether I managed to achieve this. In fact I suspect not.
    How do I fix this?
    So, how do I download a fresh set of drivers?
    If I can do that, is it sufficient to delete all printers; delete all drivers; reboot and reinstall all printers?
    And what do I have to do to ensure windows uses the fresh set of drivers - assuming I can download them
    Thanks for any suggestions
           

    Hi,
    Since all drivers in Windows update are produced from manufacturer and then after passing the Windows Logo Program testing, then they can be distribute onto update, that should be little delayed. I suggest we download the latest driver applied to Windows
    7 from manufacturer site.
    Before installing the driver, is suggest you open Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features and delete the printer driver that is already installed.
    You can temporarily disable security software and Windows Firewall service to test this issue. If the issue still persists, let’s check the Spooler dependency services in registry.
    a. Click Start , type regedit in the Search box, and then press ENTER.
    b. Locate and then click the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Spooler
    c. Right-click Spooler, click Export, Save a backup file on your desktop.
    NOTE: If an unexpected issue be encountered after modifying registry, please double click the file to restore the backup .
    d. In the details pane, if the DependOnService value shows values of RPCSS and other key, right-click DependOnService, and then click Modify.
    e. In the Value data box, delete other key, and then click OK.
    f. Exit Registry Editor.
    Please restart the computer to test this issue again.

  • Illustrator document with positive photoshop (.tif, .psd) file prints negative. How do I fix this?

    I placed a positive grayscale photoshop file (.tif, .psd format) in an illustrator document that I painted in a spot color, when I print it, it outputs as inverse, negative. How do I fix this problem. It looks fine on the screen, but when I print it prints in negative. Is there some setting in photoshop or illustrator to fix this. Please advise
    Joe

    okay I figured out how I can get it to print correctly. I discovered the problem is when I paint the photoshop file in a spot color (pantone, gcmi), the file prints in negative or inverse of the image, but if i paint it in cmyk equivalent of the spot color i want then it prints fine.
    Thanks all for your help

  • Did reset, but now I have no bar on top with File, bookmarks etc. no printer icon. How do I fix this?

    Did a reset to fix my problem with Firefox but now I have no bar on top with file, bookmarks, tools etc. Firefox created an old Firefox data folder on my desktop. Not computer savvy...how can I fix this problem?

    hello Elainef, if you are missing toolbar buttons you can go into firefox customization mode and place them where you'd like to have them. in there it's also possible to enable/disable toolbars like the menu bar:

  • FF v 3.6.21 crashes EVERY time I try and print or use print preview! How do I fix this????!!!

    Just updated to v 3.6.21 because previous version was a pain too. When I updated to that one it made the window opening delayed - I mean REALLY delayed, like at least a minute EVERY time, including start-up. How annoying. NOW I can't print and it crashes EVERY time I try. Doesn't matter if I use the pull down menu or the comand "P", or the print preview. I have a Mac running OSX v 10.4.11. I know my software is older so if there's a conflict can I uninstall FF and re-install an older version that works?? IF so, how do I do this? PLEASE HELP ME. thanks

    You may well find this article of interest and help in sorting out your problems: [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]] The article does contain a link for previous versions, but also points out other troubleshooting advice that may be more appropriate in some instances.
    Another useful article is [[Basic Troubleshooting]]
    I hope you sort out your problems either by downgrading or finding the cause of the problem.

  • I can't print Multiple pages in FF6 – clipping off content after page 1. I have thrown out firefox completely off my imac and re-installed... still does not print correctly. How do I fix this?

    After upgrading last week, i can no longer print multiple page print outs off of any website, without the secondary pages clipping off content. Page 1 prints fine... the remaining pages do not.
    pages print fine in both safari and chrome...

    If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
    If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
    As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.

  • I've unchecked the pop up blocker but still can't print an email. The print box pops up and immediately disappears and I am unable to print anything. How do I fix this?

    I am new to firefox having installed it at the recommendation of a friend. So far -- very frustrated. I need to be able to print email and can't. Also, I use roboform and it appears that the autosave popup doesn't work in firefox. Now what?

    If there are problems with updating then do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 20.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

  • My Firefox has started opening downloaded PDF files in a creen with no option to save or print them. How can I fix this?

    I get my bills etc electronically. I then download them and save them to a file on my computer. Firefox is now opening them in a window that has only the PDF and an address bar, the "File Edit View, etc" at the top of the screen is missing and I can't figure out how to save these files.

    Hi rjwwalker3-
    It is possible to adjust your preferences for files, and what Firefox does with them. Here is an article on how to adjust your preferences when dealing with files:

    My spreadsheet in Numbers is set for landscape but appears as portrait in "print view".  What am I doing wrong?

    Where are you seeing "print view?" Using the little paper icon at the bottom left of your document turns print view on & off & that is also where you can set portrait or landscape. The default is landscape.

    Do yourself and your client a favor and use the pen tool to draw these rather simple shapes. Then apply  gradients and you will get a nice and clean result.
