Printer Profiles Help Please

Hi all, hoping to get a bit of help understanding printer profiles, the benefit of using them, how I know which profile to use etc etc. Would obviously like to get the best prints I can and if changing these setting will help it makes sense to get to knw how to use them. Just got a new printer too, so makes sense to start off on the right foot with it.
Using a Mac with OSX 10.9.1
Lightroom 5.3 Camera Raw 8
Canon Pixma MG5550 Printer. (new)

Printing using profiles has the potential of greatly improving your color accuracy and optimizing the results. I don't have the same printer you do, I have a Canon Pixma Pro-100. On the Canon website, under support for my printer, there was a download available that installed printer profiles for all of the different Canon papers. Additionally, I use several different Red River papers. And Red River provides profiles and instructions telling you what profiles to use to get the best results.
But the profiles alone will not guarantee that you will get good results. Your monitor needs to be adjusted to match what the printer produces. Those who are in the know insist that a hardware calibration device is a must in order to get accurate color. So far, I have not purchased one. But at the very least you should make a print and then adjust your monitor using monitor controls and operating system controls to match that monitor as closely as you can to the print. This is not the ideal or recommended way to set up your monitor. I'm still deciding whether or not to purchase a calibration device.
Once you have got your monitor adjusted to your satisfaction the process to set up your printing requires careful attention. It involves choosing one of the Canon papers that is closest to what you are using if it is not Canon paper. You make this choice in the Canon driver, and you choose from one of the Canon papers. You turn OFF color management in the printer driver. Then in your software that you will use to print you will instruct it to manage the color. If you are using third-party paper and have profiles for that paper, the manufacturer will tell you what profiles you should use.
Printing with profiles proved to be a bit tricky for me when I first started. I made several mistakes. But once the process sank in I found that my prints improved significantly.

Print settings help please!

I recently upgraded to Photoshop CC and now when I print on my Z-3100 44" printer, the colors are all blown out. It looks like a nuclear bomb went off, vice a landscape scene. If anyone can point me to some print configurations help, I would appreciate it!

Print job from Windows hangs in iMac print queue - help please!!!

I have a new iMac core duo and am trying to print to my Epson Stylus CX4600 from Windows. Bonjour sees the printer and sets it up, the print job seems to go just fine, but when I check my G5 (the Epson is connected to the G5) I see the job stopped. If I try to start the job, nothing happens... the only way to clear the Q is to delete the job.
I have all the latest drivers, and have tried bonjour both with generic postscript and with the Epson driver - no luck.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated....

802.1x System Profile HELP, Please!!!

Server : Xserve, 10.8.5
Clients : Mix, 10.6.8, 10.8.5
To who ever may be able to help me,
I am the tech director for a school district and manage about 800 Apple laptops ranging from old MacBooks to the latest MacBook Pro. We utilize the LDAP service on our Apple server for authentication via 802.1x. Our entire district uses Aruba Network controllers and access points to privde wireless to our clients. For termination we use PEAP and EAP-GTC. Please don't ask me why we are using those methods, it was set up like that before I started and I am not very familiar with all these protocols and authentication methods. All of our students have network only accounts, nothing is ever saved to the client devices, so they require the system profile to be configured in order for the wireless to be active at the log-in window. I have preconfigured each of our 10.6 clients to authenticate this way with a preconfigured user name and password stored in a profile that I exported from the network preferences, because you used to be able to do that.
Now I am sitting on a pile of newly shipped MacBookPros that, guess what, have 10.8 on them and I am dealing with profiles made by profile manager. Obviously I am here because this is not going well.
I have created a profile in Profile Manager that has all the information I can provide.
Interface is set to WiFi
SSID is set properly
It is a hidden network, so that box is checked
Auto Join is checked
I have no Proxy
Security type is WPA2
I have checked, to Use as a log in window configuration
PEAP is checked
Password is entered
I have also added the certificate that the wireless network asks for when manually connecting
Additionally, I have looked at the profile in Text Edit and confirmed all of the key values are correct.
The profile will successfully install but it will never connect to the network, it will just sit there authenticating. I can manually connect just fine using the same user name and password I used in the profile. I am stuck. If anyone has any tips for me, I would greatly appreciate it.

I am experiencing exactly the same issue in my environment. Same setup: System-level profile configured via Casper, with 802.1x authentication at the loginwindow enabled. Users are able to log in using directory based accounts, but the connection then drops and the profile seems to disappear completely! It is no longer visible in the profiles preference pane, and the network will not function again until the user selects the SSID manually and reauthenticates.
Did you ever find a resolution for this issue? Please help!

Unable to run Memory profiling, help please

Hi there,
I installed the lastest version of JDeveloper 10 and created a very simple project(only have one class with Main()method) for testing purpose.
I configure the Profiler in Project Properties page, setting the class as included instance, however, all those profiling menu items(e.g.: Memory Profile...) are greyed out and I am unable to run memory profiling.
I wonder if the functions are available for the free-downloaed version of JDeveloper, or is there something wrong with my setting?
Your help is highly appreciated.

Make sure you are positioned on the class in the application navigator before going to the "run" menu option.
Also does it work if you don't change anything in the project properties?
Here is what I did - created a new project with a simple hello class. And I didn't had any problems profiling it.
There is no function limitation on the version you downloaded.
Here is the class I tried:
public class Class1
public Class1()
public static void main(String[] args)
Class1 class1 = new Class1();
System.out.println("hello");
}

IPAD and UPdate to Airprint Printer question Help Please?

I have an HP 6500 printer that I utilize with my MacbookPro (from 2007) and it operates just fine wirelessly using WiFi at home. I did note though that my iPod cannot print to the printer as the printer IS NOT AIRPRINT equipped.
MY QUESTION?
I am considering purchasing an IPAD MINI (RETINA)equipped with KeyNote, Pages, etc., and am wondering If I invest in an AIRPRINT equipped printer in order to enable printing from the IPAD MINI, will I also still be able to print from my Macbook Pro (2007) which is not equipped with anything that interfaces with AIRPRINT to my new AIRPRINT printer? In other words, is this reversed engineered to allow printing from an older laptop to a brand new AIRPRINT printer?
Hope you can help, so I don't waste money on a new printer and an IPAD only to find out I can no longer use my LapTop (MacbookPro) to print.
Thanks you for any help.
Charles

Thanks, Jim.
Going to give it a try, Now, after reading all the reviews on the various HP and Epson model all-in-one printers, my next chore will be to make the actual selection. It seems that there as many people who love each unit as there are who hate each unit. Confusing, but I will digest it over the next several days and make a choice.
Thanks again,
Charles

TCP/IP Printer ports - HELP PLEASE

I have a large inkjet printer that I print my graphic design to... for years it has been set up and printing just fine through an Actiontec M1424-WR-rev.D router. No setting were ever changed in the router, it just worked great right out of the box (the Verizon guys installed it). I had a small router with the cable company, but when I got the new router from Verozon the install guy said i didn't need it any more, and moved the ethernet plugs over to the new router. Everything worked fine for years... until the wireless functions started to fail (I don't use the wireless for the office, just the family), so, Verizon told me I had to replace it with a new M1242WR - rev. I router. I transfered all the cables over the the new router in exactly the same positions the were in on the old router. Now my printing software (RIP software) can't see the printer when it's routed through the FiOS router, but If I move the ethernet cable from the router and plug it into the back of my computer, which disconnects my computer from the network and gives me a dedicated ethernet connection to the printer... everything works fine. It's just when I try and run it through the router that my computer and printer can't talk to each other.
My RIP software that drives the printer demands a STATIC IP address set up in a TCP/IP printing port, and the printer is set up with the corresponding static IP address (this is unavoidable). Images of the setup screens below...
The RIP software setup is here... very simple:
Now, on the actual printer, the IP address matches (192.168.0.110), the subnet masks are 255.255.255.0, and the default gateway is set at 192-168.0.1.
This is all the info I have, and all I know is that it worked fine with no setup on the old router, and does NOT work on the new router... it used to be plug-n-play, now it's plug-n-stop.
Again, when the ethernet cable run directly from the computer it drives the printer just fine, connected to the router first and it failes completely.... HELP!!!!!!!!!!
Like I said... this has worked great for years, I haven't changed a thing on the printer or computer... the only change is the new router... I'm out of production until I figure this out (
Cabe...

The revision I router out of the box uses the following default IP addresses
192.168.1.x IP Address
255.255.255.0 Subnet
192.168.1.1 Default gateway
I notice you aren't using that IP Address scheme at all in the screen shots. Did you change the Verizon router internal settings to use the 0.1 ip scheme?

Printing array help please!

Hi, I have a problem with printing arrays in a certain order. Let me descbribe it, by the way I'm using Java version 1.3 if that helps.
ok, what I need to do is print out on a single line all the strings found on the command line that end in .java and then I need to print out all the strings found on the command line that end in .class. So say I type on the command line a.java b.class c.java d.class. Then it would print out a.java c.java b.class d.class.
any help would be appreciated!

here it goes the complete code:
* running example: java a.class b.java c.class d.class h.java
public class Nickal01
     static public void main(String[] args)
          String classes = "";
          for(int i=0; i<args.length; i++)
               if(args.endsWith(".class"))
                    classes += args[i] + " ";
               else
                    System.out.print(args[i]+" ");
          System.out.println(classes);

Star office with roaming profiles help please

Hope someone can help me
I have installed star office on a networked computer where the users profile and application data is situated on a win 2003 server (roaming profiles and folder redirection)
in a stand alone environment i.e no folder redirection the product works great with no problems
(on the same computer)
when i log in as a user that has folder redirection in place the software overall becomes very un-responsive
Symptoms
Launcher taking upto 30-40 seconds to open
Once program is open just simple things like opening the file menu can cause the program to become unresposive (not responding message in toolbar)
then maybe after 2--40 seconds it will come alive again
all the time this is happening i am able to access other programs on the computer without any problems
I have tried this on several computers in the office and its the same on all of them, the computer i am doing my main testing on, is a brand new DELL system dual core with 1Gb RAM and windows XP service pack 3
Any help or suggestions welcome
Thankyou
Macman73

I'm having the exact same problem. When using roaming profiles and folder redirection StarOffice is often not responding when using commands as save, open etc. Often it becames alive again after a few minutes, but sometimes not.
I'm using a Linux server with Fedora and Samba. Clients are WinXPpro with Staroffice8.
All computers in the company has the same problem.
Hope someone can help me and macman73 with this problem...

Profile help please,

Hi,
Just got infinity option 2 installed a few days ago so i realise im still in the "stabilization period"
What im wondering is what profile am i on exactly. When i log into my account it says:
Up to 76Mb download speed
Up to 19Mb upload speed
But when i run the FTTC checker i get:
Clearly my upload shows upto 20mb but my download is no where near 76mb.
The connection is Wired directly to the hub and the max speed i can get on ANY tester is 33mb down and 6mb up.
Can anyone help or offer advice before i ask the "Mod" who is currently dealing with my install (long story lol) about this.
Thanks Jay.

The bt speed test shows what your profile is. It looks like your profile hasn't been updated which has happened to a few.
As you are already in contact with a Mod you will get more info from him/her.

I have an I pad 2and have an Epsom printer I have printed things off before but since changing my room around and turning off my printer I have trouble connecting to wi fi again my printer cannot recognise the printer again help please

I have an I pad2 and an Epsom printer I have printed off things before on my printer but since moving it and having to switching it off my printer will not recognise my I pad I have tried putting in my security key but half way through doing this the message comes on to the error message saying printer recognised but I cannot get it to print help please

I have done this but it still didnt work but thanks

I don't understand why this simple program will not print. Help please!!!

This program runs with no errors, it just doesn't print anything. Anyone have a clue as to why it doesn't print anything?
Here is my code:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Converter {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int a,b,c;
int inputNum=Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null," Enter a length in yards: "));
String measurement = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"Enter the unit of conversion (inches, feet, or centiyards): ");
if (measurement == "inches"){
a = inputNum*36;
System.out.println(a + "inches");
else if (measurement == "feet"){
b = inputNum*3;
System.out.println(b + "feet");
else if (measurement == "centiyards"){
c = inputNum*100;
System.out.println(c + "centiyards");
}

Don't confuse String's equals() method with the equality operator '=='. The == operator checks that two references refer to the same object. If you want to compare the contents of Strings (whether two strings contain the same character sequence), use equals(), e.g. if (str1.equals(str2))...
Example:String s1 = "foo";
String s2 = new String("foo");
System.out.println("s1 == s2: " + (s1 == s2)); // false
System.out.println("s1.equals(s2): " + (s1.equals(s2))); // trueFor more information, check out the Java FAQ
