Printer jargon

My new MG6150 Canon printer's Print Options are in a language I cannot understand.
No. 1     Prevent loss of print data. What is that? (not ticked)
No. 2  (Instead of Off-On, for no color management there is) ,
     Disable ICM required from the application software. (I ticked this one, I hope I am right).
No.3   Disable the color profile setting of the application software. ( not ticked)
No. 4   Disable the paper source setting from the application software. ( not ticked)
The instructions in the manual say nothing about this, and I am

Bonjour!
For 1) I guess it means that the print job is put on memory, then sent to the printer. Sometimes, you can select if sppoling is done in the printer, or in the computer.
For 2) It all depends if you control CM from Photoshop or not. But the language they use is puzzling, indeed!
I'd check if the prints have the symptom of double-profiling.(usually, they are too green or magenta)
Have a great day!

  • Mac / CS4 Photoshop to 4525 prints jargon.

    Hi,
    We are having inconsistent problems printing to our networked HP 4525 printer from Osx 10.6.6 using Photoshop CS4.
    We have upgraded the printer firmware to Dec 27th 2010 and using HP Mac printer drivers 2.5.2
    The printer will work most of the time but occasionally will spool out endless pages of jargon / junk / postscript. The only way to stop this is to take the power out of the printer for a few minutes.
    When printing sometimes we see the error %bad bounding box% seen but this does not necessarily result in jargon being printed.
    Does anyone have any ideas what else we can try to fix this or having this problem themselves?

    Hi Dave
    Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately our Windows system is tied to the HP Universal Driver so I don't think there is any likelihood we could change that

  • Prints 16pages of computer jargon instead of the internet screen. HPOfficejetProL7580

    Just started tonight. Prints docs etc okay but prints only lines of data info from the internet. Have WindowsXP & Adobe9. Tried uninstalling HP and reinstalled. Data format set on RAW. Don't know what to reset or where. Thanks for any input! 

    Hi,
    As the printer will print whatever will be sent by the internet browser, it might not print correctly as a web site been designed for display and not for printing.
    Make sure to use the Print Display icon if such exists within the website.
    As well, you may use the HP Smart Print which is intended to resolve web page printing issues:

  • Why, when I click on watch list, does the print shrink and move to the left of the screen, and when scroll down, a load of jargon follow the watch list?

    Hi, does anyone know how to rectify this problem?
    It only happens on eBay, when I click on "watch list". It starts of normal but by the time it completes, the print has got tiny and moves to the left of the scree. I can use the fingers to enlarge it, but shouldn't have to do that and it reverts to small when I try to use it again!  VERY annoying - it's only started happening recently, I've had this iPad 2 for 6 months, and it NEVER happened with my iPad 1!
    HELP please!

    It's likely an oddity with the eBay site - they may have introduced the issue with a site update. I'm not certain, just sugesting.
    Having said that, I don't see this behaviour on my iPad 3. Try restarting the iPad and see if that fixes it.
    I use the eBay apps on both iPhone and iPad - I find them much easier than the website - might be worth a look

  • How do I use my HP Laser Jet 4M  printer work with my OS 10.9 MacBook Pro

    A "newbie" here.  I am having trouble getting my new Macbook Pro and its 10.9 OS to accept my HP Laser Jet 4M+ printer.  HP apparently does not support the Mac's OS10.9. Any help appreciated.

    Ok, I've downloaded the drivers as suggested.but still not printing as it should.
    It's now printing one page as opposed to many, but it still has the jargon on top of the page as depicted in my original post?
    From this info you advised, it does suggest, does it not, that the HP Laser Jet 6p is supported.
    Meanwhile, any other advice.

  • Possible solution for problems printing with ICC profiles - esp. R2400

    (N.B. This is long because I've decided to go in to details about the background of the problem etc.. Also note that whilst my experience is with the Epson R2400, anyone with problems printing using ICC profiles in Aperture may find this post helpful, as will be explained further down the post.)
    Ok, here's the situation. I've been an Aperture user for over a year, and an R2400 owner for half a year. In that time I have done a huge amount of experimenting, but I've never managed to get Aperture to work perfectly with Epson's 'premium' R2400 ICC profiles - the ones you can download from their site which are better than the ones provided 'in the box'. This hasn't been too big a deal because, in fact, the R2400 does a rather good job just set to 'System Managed' in Aperture and 'Epson Vivid' with a gamma of 1.8 in the printer driver. Nevertheless, it really annoyed me that something that should work wasn't, which is why I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what's going on. Having said that, I have come across a method which will give you pretty good prints out of your Epson R2400 using the premium profiles in Aperture - it's not perfect, but it's the best you're going to get if you want to use those profiles in Aperture. I understand the words 'it's not perfect' aren't what photography experts would probably want to hear, however, I have seen a few anguished posts from R2400 owners in here before, so I think some people may find it useful.
    The whole reason why Aperture is hopeless at using the R2400's premium profiles is because - unusually - their default rendering intent is set to 'relative colorimetric' rather than 'perceptual'. You might say 'but that's good - it means you get more accurate colours!', and if you do, you're right... however, there's a snag. To get an image to reproduce well using Epson's premium profiles and relative colorimetric rendering, you really need to use black point compensation. This is where the trouble lies: Aperture's black point compensation is diabolical to the point of being unusable when used with relative colorimetric rendering - I feel I need to be awarded compensation every time I've ever tempted to use the setting. So because BPC in Aperture is unusable, that effectively makes the premium profiles unusable too, because Aperture always uses the default rendering intent specified in the profile.
    The solution? Use perceptual rendering instead. Ok, so you can't change the rendering intent in Aperture, which makes that sound a tad difficult. However, as I said in the above paragraph, Aperture always obeys the default rendering intent specified in the profile... so you can see where we're going with this: we need to change the ICC profiles' default rendering intent from 'relative colorimetric' to 'perceptual'. I did some digging around and found one or two expensive pieces of software that could do that... but then I found that, lo and behold, the Mac OS has a command-line utility which can do the job for us, for precisely £0.00. It's called SIPS or 'Scriptable Image Processing System', and you can find out some information about it here: http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn2035.html#TNTAG58 For those who don't like reading technical jargon however, here's what you need to do to convert a profile's rendering intent. First go to terminal, then type in the following command:
    sips -s renderingIntent perceptual
    Do not press 'enter' yet. Instead, add a space after 'perceptual', find the ICC profile you want to modify, and click and drag it into the terminal window. You should then find that your command looks something like this:
    sips -s renderingIntent perceptual /Users/yourname/folder/RandomProfile.ICC
    At which point you can then press 'enter', and the command will execute, giving you an ICC profile which will now make Aperture use perceptual rendering.
    There is just one further thing to be aware of after doing this: for some crazy reason, you then need to turn on BPC in Aperture for the prints to come out as good as possible. Black point compensation shouldn't make any difference when using perceptual rendering as the idea of perceptual is that it takes account of things like that anyway, however, in Aperture BPC does make a difference, so remember to turn it on to get a half decent print. In general, I find that prints made using this setup come out pretty well; they almost perfectly match prints made using the profiles with a perceptual intent in Photoshop Elements, except for the fact that Aperture blocks up the shadows a bit more than Photoshop. However, if you can live with that, you might find this is quite a workable solution.
    Now, I said near the beginning of this post that all the above can apply to other printers too. Most printer profiles have 'perceptual' set as their default rendering intent, in which case everything I've just said won't be of much help. However, If you are reading this because you're having problems with ICC profiles in Aperture, but you don't use an Epson R2400, find your problematic ICC profile, double-click on it, and take a look at the window that opens: specifically, at the 'Rendering Intent' the window mentions. If it doesn't say 'Perceptual' then it may well be worth trying the steps I've outlined in this post to set it to perceptual, to see if doing so produces an improvement when using the profile in Aperture.
    Finally, just one note of caution: if you decide to try out the steps I've detailed above on a paid-for custom-made profile, please back your profile up before messing with it. I haven't experienced any problems when using SIPS to change a profile's rendering intent, but I obviously can't guarantee that it won't do something weird and corrupt your expensive custom-made profile.
    If you have any questions, feel free to ask, although (contrary to any impression I may give) I am not a colour-management expert; I'm just someone who doesn't give up when they have a problem that should be solvable.

  • Trying to get old printer (not on list) running on new computer

    New computer = Satellite L755-S5349, running on Windows 7, 64-bit.
    Printer = HP Color LaseJet 3600n (which doesn't appear on the computer's list of recognized drivers).
    HP Download web-site says their Vista version driver for the 3600 should work on this computer.
    I have downloaded that driver.
    When I plug in the USB connector, the computer seems to recognize the printer's existence, but puts it into the category of "Other Devices", not "Printers and Faxes";
    and, when I try to print a document, the computer seems to be trying to send it to a Fax (I don't have a Fax).
    In any case, it doesn't print and the document doesn't show up in the printing-monitor area.
    I'm thinking I may have done something wrong in designation which "port" I wanted it to go through; I don't recall seeing USB as an optio. As noted, I'm connecting the computer to printer via a USB cable - which has worked fine with 2 previous computers.
    As you may tell, I'm a real Newbie at this - pretty non-technical - so: 1) if it's something really "obvious" (to you), please don't flame me too bad; and 2), if you've got a solution, be prepared to walk me through everything in baby steps, with as little jargon as possible (assume no pre-knowledge about the innards/workings of a computer).

  • Setting up 5510 printer

    I have mostly set up my new 5510 printer, but towards the end it asks about 'proxy server'  and 'port'. What does this mean in plain English? I think I may need to do something here if I want to print from my mobile phone, for instance.

  • Right dot matrix printer?

    After doing some searching, I just want to make sure I have a handle on this before purchasing anything.
    If I want to run a dot matrix printer on an ibook running 10.3.9 can I just use gutenprint with whatever printer I can buy cheap on their supported list? And then just use a converter cable if necessary? Will that have me covered?
    I've also seen references to some converter cables working better than others? Will there be any software associated with using a usb/parallel converter that I need to know about?
    I actually tried making the switch years ago, but all the techno jargon made my brain bleed. Things seem to have improved a little since then.

  • Trouble sharing printer from OS 10.3.9 to Windows XP

    I have a G4 running OS 10.3.9, and there is an HP 6MP printer attached. It is on a network with a mess of Windows XP machines, and I want to be able to share the printer with them.
    I did all of the standard steps (enable Printer Sharing, etc), and set up a password protected guest account.
    // Start of Microsoft jargon
    When I set up a Windows machine to have access to the printer, I go to the "Show Workgroup Computers" window, and open a connection to the G4. To do this, I select the guest account on the G4, and enter the related password. I then drag the icon for the printer to the "Printers and Faxes" window, and select the driver for the printer.
    // End of Microsoft jargon
    This is the rub: if the guest account has Admin privleges on the G4, there is no problem and I can print just fine. However, if the guest account is a standard account, then after I setup the printer on the Windows machine, it's status is "Access denied, unable to connect".
    Does anybody know a way around this problem? The obvious approach is to give the guest account Admin privileges, but that defeats the entire point of having a Guest account.
    Dual 500 MHz G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hi David
    How about you don't use Guest account at all, just tell the XP where to find the printer connected to your Mac, by specifying an address, as described in the following link, where there is much discussion of printing from a PC to a printer connected to a Mac:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040208122655345
    Afterthought: By activating File sharing are you invoking Guest log on? Perhaps try just having Printer sharing only.

  • Photos come out real dark when printed on various printers

    Im really unsure if this is an Indesign problem or not but most everything I do is created in InDesign along with Photoshop, Acrobat, and other Adobe products.  Im just out of ideas on what the problems could be so thought I would take a crack at Adobe being the problem?  I just dont know!
    When I print things out on our high end Xerox color printer, things tend to come out more on the darker side.  Its mostly noticable with photographs but it can also be seen in general solid colors also.  I generally make the printer print 85% lighter from its settings and things will usually come out acceptable.
    When I send files to out digital plate maker, usually as black/grayscale, the photographs will always come out real dark.  For this, I have to over compensate by editing each photo individually so they no longer look normal on my screen, but overly faded just so it will look properly on our DPM.
    This is something I have been dealing with for several years and though its basically a part of life now, I still cant stand it!  All drivers, patches, and firmware is updated, printer color is calibrated, even paid techs to figure it out...nothing!  For both our standard black and white printers, these files usually print out ok, all photos look just as good as they do on screen.
    Well we just got a new large color plotter machine for printing large banners and signs.  I dont operate it but the one who does seem to know his stuff.  He said his program will only work with EPS files.  I had created a press quality PDF from InDesign that I then converted to EPS as well as creating an EPS directly from InDesign.  All files looked nice and bright on both my screen as well as his.  On his first sample printout on the plotter, the images came out dark!!!!!  Why????  We made new files where again, I overcompensated by fading the photos out bigtime to where they look horrible on screen but printed out mostly ok on the machine.
    This cant be the normal way things are done, Is this an InDesign problem or what???  Any suggestions would be great because we are out of ideas!

    I believe Xerox ships the EyeOne spectrohotometer. The companion software for that is Eye-One Match, which gets installed on your computer. I don't know if that's included. If it is, the software will lead you through adjusting the monitor and will then record a profile and associate it with the monitor. Adobe apps will use that profile to display color on screen. Each monitor needs to be profiled -- generic profiles shipped on the install disk for the monitor are useless in a color critical workflow, they match some hypothetical average monitor, or one that was pulled off the assembly line long before yours was built, and every monitor is unique in how it displays a give set of color numbers.
    There should be some icc profiles on the support disks for the printers. These are the output profiles you need to target in ID, or you need to output as a standard RGB profile like Adobe RGB and let the RIP do the conversion internally to the Xerox color space.
    This is a pretty complex thing to explain in detail here. You should read the Color Management section of the help files, any documentation that came with the Fiery, and I highly recommend Real World Color Management by Olav Kvern and David Blatner which is easy to read without a lot of technical jargon, and clearly explains both the theory and practice of color management in the real world (though it's now a few years old).

  • Printing to a wireless networked Photosmart 1315

    I am trying to setup my macbook to print to my HP Photosmart 1315 which is a shared printer on my XP Pro desktop.
    The driver is not included with the OS X CD, and the driver from HP doesn't include any options for network printing.
    If I add the printer, it gets added as a generic print, and it simply prints blank pages or jargon. At least the printer responds at this point.
    If I install the driver from the HP website, it doesn't seem to help. You have the option of locating a file when you select the type of printer you have, but the HP driver file is just a disk image.
    Does anyone have any suggestions. I just started using a Mac 3 days ago, so I'm a little unfamiliar, but I'm loving it. If I can get my printer to work, I'll be smitten.

    Try the generic Photosmart driver HP Photosmart P1100, Gimp-Print, that is included with OS X.

  • Applications crash when saving, opening, printing...

    I am having a lot of trouble using Quark 7.3 on my Mac. When working from the server I open a file, work on it for a while, apple-S to save and it crashes - not saving where I'm up to. This happens with several files, some older than others which worked fine last week and some created today. Also happens when I go to print the file. Has also happened a few times when I open a file and put the cursor where I want to type and it crashes.
    Sometimes a Quark file I open does not have the images brought in (grey box with error text in its place) and the text is jargon, extra spaces, words missing, etc.
    Here is a small part of one of the bug reports:
    Command: QuarkXPress
    Path: /Applications/QuarkXPress 7.3/QuarkXPress.app/Contents/MacOS/QuarkXPress
    Parent: WindowServer [62]

    This problem also occurs with Adobe Acrobat, when I arrow through the pdf document and it crashes - old and new documents.
    Also, I have tried pulling the Quark document from the server and onto my Desktop and working on it from there - the problem still occurs and crashes. Have submitted reports to Quark & Apple with no response.
    My mac/work is suffering the most, although my colleagues are also having similar crashing problems on occasion.
    I am wasting a huge amount of time having to redo work. How can I rectify this problem? Is it memory? The server? Dodgy fonts/files? Please HELP!
    Server holds approx 950GB, but has 70GB space.
    My HD holds 76GB, and has 15GB space.

    Your server is using more than 90% of its drive capacity, which can in itself, cause all kinds of problems. You might want to run Preferential Treatment to see if you have any corruption there, but your best solution will likely come from Quark.

  • Printing on Windows network

    This is my first Mac and I am enjoying it very much!
    I was a warehouse automation programmer in a former life so I can handle some tech jargon in an answer. I guess what I am trying to say is it doesn't have to be over simplified for me to get it (I hope.)!!!
    I have an iBook G3 500mhz (running OS X 10.3.9) that I want to print from; through an Apple Airport card to a '2Wire' wireless AP/DSL modem, through a Windows XP box, to a Canon Pixma MP160 printer. (Deep Breath, Now)
    The rest of the home network (Windows XP or Vista machines) prints to this printer fine. The printer is shared.
    I have downloaded and installed the Canon 'driver package' (I don't know the proper term) for this printer.
    When I tried to set this printer up I get the printer dialogue along the lines of 'SAMBA unable to connect - Retry in 60 seconds' and the countdown. After that I get a (looks like windows error message but on the mac) message along the lines of 'WINDOWSNT_WORKSTATION_ACCESSDENIED'
    I have been unable to find a workable solution. Any Suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for your effort,
    Chuck

    Can the iBook print to the printer when connected direct by USB?
    Ensure that the XP PC user account you are using to authenticate has a password.
    You may still have issues as the Canon printer drivers for OS X may not work over the network.

  • HT1171 When you do a 'print screen', where does the image go?

    Using Windows 7 in Bootcamp.
    When i use the shortcut to do a print screen, i cannot find the image nor does it seem to be stored in the clipboard.
    Any ideas where this goes?

    My Mac Pro has a Mac aluminum keyboard. I found the F14 key to be equivalet to PrtScn key on PC.
    Your Windows BootCamp control panel interface has keyboard help.
    In PC jargon, pressing PrtScn copies what is displayed on Monitor to clip-board. Unlike Lion/Leopard's
    user friendly equivalent, it does not create an incremental .png to desktop for you. If you open Paint
    accessory there is a Paste function that will show clip board and you then can save it as zzz.jpg to
    desktop etc.
    Because this is a tedious process, I have code to do what Lion/Leopard does, so that after pressing
    PtrScn; when (PasteScr.Vbs) executed, will place Picture(NN).Jpg on desktop, incrementing NN thus
    saving need to go through Paint. The code is Vbs script and you can use it by copying text between,
    == lines then pasting the copy to a new text document somewhere on your C:\ drive. Then, after saving,
    rename it to, for example, PasteScr.Vbs
    You can make a shortcut to this on Desktop to use whenever you have pressed PrtScn.
    This works in Vista & Windows 7 and should work in XP.
    I have found that in Windows 7 64 Bit, on occasion PrtScn does not go to clipboard and results in a white
    Picture(NN).Jpg. If this happens, repeat the Prt & Paste process.
    This could be improved if pressing PrtScn could be invoked in the VBS but I don not know how to do that.
