Printing a boarderless photo problem

I could not print a photo: The error message said that I could not print a boarderless photo with only a black cartridge and that I should install a color cartridge too. But my color cartridge is installed and works properly. I tried taking the color cartridge out and installing it again, and also restarting my computer, but neither worked. This is the first time this ever happened. Any advice would be appreciated.

Does this help...

My problem is that after printing the first photo or picture, when I come to print a second, both the Colour Management and Epson Colour Controls are greyed out and showing No Colour Management

I have recently purchased a Mac computer (updated to Maverick) to go with my Epson Stylus Photo RX500 printer which has given excellent service with my old Windows computer. However, when trying to print pictures or photos via Photoshop Elements 11, the best results I can get are using the Colour Management and Epson Colour controls in the printing options box.
My problem is that after printing the first photo or picture, when I come to print a second, both the Colour Management and Epson Colour Controls are greyed out and showing No Colour Management, The only way I can reset the controls is to shut down the printer and computer and restart.
Could there may be a setting somewhere that I need to adjust please? I have been in touch with Epson and they say that the Epson Colour controls are part of the Photoshop Elements software but a post on the Adobe forum brought no results and I am unable to contact Adobe.

Hello Garry. Thanks for the reply. I guess I should have used a different title from "How do I post a question?" That should come after trying to resolved the colour settings first. However, to answer your question, after experimenting with all the different settings in Photoshop Elements and Epson software, I now start with PSE11 Colour settings then click "no colour management" then after clicking Print, I choose "More Options/Colour Management/Colour Handling/Printer Manages Colour" then I choose "Page Setup/Layout/Colour Matching" which then shows Epson Colour Controls but I also choose "Layout/Colour Management" which then shows "Colour Controls/Mode" I then of course choose an Epson printer profile depending on the paper I am using. I get good results but as I said, the Colour Matching and Colour Controls are then greyed out. Hope that makes sense.

I photo-problem printing selected phots

Hi, Recently purchased a i Mac 21 which is a delight. However the bundled i Photo is giving me some problems.
I now have several "events,albums and slideshows" but I can't print an selected photo.
Following Print Command, the options window does not appear and advised that a print is not possible without selecting a theme.
As the option to select a themeis not there, how do I resolve this problem.
Thanks for youir assistance.
Regards,
Bruce

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Can no longer print selected iPhoto photo with HP printer

iPhoto 09. Cannot print selected iPhoto photo with HP printer. I select the photo from iPhoto Library, go to File>print. The screen for Print comes up with another one on top of it that is blank but with text "Print...Processing 1..OK". Clicking OK prints from that screen "Print, Processing page 1" (on correct 3x6 photo paper in black!).
I have run Apple Software Update. Run Permissions with problems (one: "Permissions differ on Library/Printers/h...". Have reinstalled iPhoto which has left one icon on Dock and 3 on desktop: iPhoto 07-27-19.app; iPhoto.app; iPhoto Library that I don't know what to do with with them, so just use the one on the dock which opens iPhoto Library.
Believe I read that after reinstalling iPhoto, a plug-in (possibly third party plug-in for HP?) must be installed. I have updated my HP printer to latest driver.
Would you advise how I can print photos in my iPhoto Library again, and also get those iPhoto icons off my desktop which only confuse me. Thank you for your prompt attention.
Out-of-patience Great Gramma

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Hi there,
If you use the HP Home and Biz app: Select your image and then tap the printer options on the bottom of the screen. From here select your printer and near the bottom select your paper type.
Check this post out for setting within OSX.
Best of Luck!

Lines printing in edited photos on 3 HP printers

We have three HP printers - one F4280 all-in-one and one 990cse connected to the same Vista computer and one 990cse connected to an XP. They are all printing horizontal lines in portrait view edited photos and vertical lines in landscape view. The lines are distinct about 1/16th of an inch wide and spaced about 1/16th of an inch apart and down the entire photo. This happens whether I have scanned the photo or gotten it from some other source. It is happening no matter what editing program I use - even if I only crop it using Windows Photo Gallery.
I recently purchased a new photo editing program in hopes of correcting the problem, but I still have the same problem. I start with a fresh photo (one that I have never edited) and, after I edit it, there are never any lines visible on the screen but the printed page has the lines on it - like dark burgandy across a black dress - and light rose across lighter areas, but always distinct even lines. I like to edit photos and have been editing photos for years. I quit for a while and came back to it recently and have been having this problem. I would so much appreciate help.
   Addendum: One thing that worked for me just yesterday - I printed two 5x7 .tif photos on one page from the Windows Photo Gallery, and they didn't have the lines. I used HP premium plus photo paper glossy and set the printout for regular premium paper. When I had set it for premium photo paper, the lines printed. I tried this because when I printed that one on regular premium paper, I didn't get the lines. So, this morning I tried printing the same photo with premium plus photo paper and set for regular premium paper and that printed without lines also !! The picture is better on the photo paper even though the print setting was not for the photo paper. (I had scanned the photo from a full page 8.5x11 copy of the photo.) I am hopeful, but a little skeptical as to whether this will always work. Has another solution been found? Thank you.

This only works for me with Windows Photo Gallery. When I try to print a Word Perfect document with an inserted picture or an Adobe Acrobat document that has a picture, the lines are there. I can create the WP document and save it, then save it as a .pdf document, then save the .pdf document as a .tif photo, then print the .tif photo from the Windows Photo Gallery. These are the step that I used to print:
right click on the photo,
select Preview (and it should open in the Windows Photo Gallery) or select "Open With" and select Windows Photo Gallery,
select Print (and a print menu will show across the top),
from the menu:
select your printer,
select Paper size (I have only tried Letter size for this),
select Quality (mine is working at 300x300 dots per inch),
select Paper type as hp premium paper (not photo paper),
(I deselect the "Fit picture to frame," a personal preference)
insert photo paper in printer and print.
   I had received a copy of my grandmother's picture (only one in existence as far as I know) and I so wanted to get a good printout after editing out some tears and I was able to get a good full page photo print by using this method. Maybe this will help someone else.
   I hope that someone can come up with a solution where pictures can be printed from any program. I would like to know if there is a solution. With three HP printers on hand, I don't want to start replacing printers.

Printing Wallet-sized photos in iPhoto '08

I have a photo i took on my digital camera that I am trying to crop and print as a wallet-sized image. I have resized it to a 2x3 size, but when I go to the Print settings, the photo is massively zoomed in and i can't capture the entire image in the 2x3 space, I only get a portion of the face instead of the entire headshot. I try to edit the mask and realign and zoom out on the image, but it is already zoomed out as far as it will allow (even though there is a lot of photo not being displayed).
Is there any way to work around this? Seems odd that if i want to print a wallet photo from an image i took i should be able to scale the entire image down to fit and not have to print it as an 8x10.

Yes, I have also selected 2x3 in the print window. That is where the problem is occurring. If i leave it as standard 8x10 then I get the entire image in the photo print area. When I select anything smaller, then instead of sizing the entire image down to the new dimensions it basically just grabs that area from the larger picture and effectively zooms in on it. So instead of my daughter's entire head, i just get her nose and eye in the 2x3 image.

HP Photosmart Plus b209a prints lines through photos

The printer is a few weeks old, but it never printed out photos correctly. There are vertical lines through landscape photos, and horizontal lines through potrait photos (this happens when I'm connected both via USB and wireless). The strange thing is that it prints photos perfectly when I print a test photo from the installation program (both via USB and wireless).
I've been sent a replacement printer, but that didn't help. Now I've been in touch with HP support via mail over the last couple of weeks, but thats going nowhere - being asked the same (already answered) questions over and over again. I've been asked to try using the wrong paper size settings, various quality settings, upgrading drivers, etc. (was even asked to try using the wrong drivers, but that just crashed the printer).
I'm using a HP Compaq 8510p, running 64bit Windows 7. My wife uses an IBM thinkpad (32bit Windows 7), and she has the same problem. At this point I'm not really expecting much from HP support any more, so hopefully someone on this forum might be able to help me.

Are the lines regurlarly spaced? What is the spacing of the lines? Is it different when printing in Best mode vs. Normal? Are the lines dark, light or a color?

What are the settings to print a panorama photo on roll paper?

I have an Epson R2400 using 8.3 inch roll paper. I want to print a panorama photo (cropped) borderless 8.3 in x 36 in. I have done it using Photoshop (export from Aperture), but each combination I use to print in Aperture ends up shrinking the photo to fit on an 8.267 in x 11.692 effective size even though it is roll paper. I have tried A4 roll paper banner, custom paper sizes (8.3 x 36), manual roll paper settings, etc. Each time the photo is "fit" onto the A4 size when sent to the printer. Print Preview shows the result I hope to get (the full photo with no excess white areas), but when printed the actual photo gets shrunk down or cut off on both ends depending on the combination of settings.
Anyone know the combination of settings to make it happen? What's the trick?

A while ago I had similar problems with custom paper sizes in Aperture with a different Epson printer.
No one had the answer, so I can only conclude that Aperture is weak in this area of printing. Hopefully Apple will address this in Aperture 2.

My printer has stop printing from the photo tray. I need to place the photo stock in the main tray

I've a HP PhotoSmart Plus printer B210a. The printer will no longer print from the photo tray. I'm still able to get prints; but I must place the photo stock in the main tray. It becomes a problem, because I sometimes forget the photo stock is the main tray and I waste photo stock when I do my regular printing and only get part it because the photo was still in the tray. Anyway to fix this?

Hi there wmcook,
Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? What operating system are you using and are there any errors when attempting to print from the photo tray?

Print settings for photos for HP Photosmart 3180

When I first hooked up the HP3180 I tried printing photos from iPhoto and could select 4x6 from the iPhoto Print window. I printed several photos easily.
After my daughter had been using the MacBook for several weeks (wirelessly connecting to printer through Airport Express), the Print settings changed. Now, my Paper choices include many choices of strange sets of numbers numbers but none are 4x6, 5x7, etc. Also the Presets used to include "Photo Paper" and other choices. What happened to those settings? Is it Express or Bonjour-related. There is no way now to select 4x6 in the Print window.

All of the directions received from all parties still do not solve this problem.
The correct printer Epson Stylus 2200 is selected in System Preferences as well as in PS Elements. There are any number of dialogue boxes that open none of which allow a selection for type of paper or quality. It even warns you when ready to print that the quality is only 220 dpi.
With my photo on the screen and a Command P or selecting print from the PSE File Print Menu the screen has the following settings
1. Select Printer          Epson Stylus Photo 2200
2. Select Paper Size    Letter
3. Select Print Size      8" x 10"

Note again all suggestions received work just fine if in IPhoto Command P opens screen with a selection called presets and it allows selection for photographs and type of paper.
Again thank you all for your help and patience.

Any easy way to print envelopes from photo tray?

I have a new C309 printer that works well printing from three different PCs. What I want to do is load the photo tray with a few #10 envelopes so that I can print one without having to change out paper in the main tray.
The problem is, by the time I make the changes to Properties to print from the photo tray, I might as well have swapped things in the main tray. (I have to declare that I'm printing postcards or it won't let me specify the photo tray).
Does anyone have a suggestion for how to multiplex between printing letters and printing envelopes?

Address Book itself has the ability to print out labels - I'm not sure whether you have OS X 10.4 or 10.5, but there are more options in 10.5. From Address Book, select your desired addresses (or make a group of them and select that) and go to File - Print. You'll see the label options there.

Epson R340 will not print higher quality photo - Jobs Stopped!

I have seen posts on this problem before but I've tried the recommendations and haven't had any luck. From IPhoto 5 (version 5.0.4) I can print regular resolution photos but if I switch to the higher resolution photos the printer stops printing. If I restart printing it says "Opening Printer Connection" and then again "Jobs stopped".
It is very frustrating since I have printed the higher resolution photos before with the same software, drivers, etc. but I cannot repeat it every time.
I have tried verifying and repairing disk permissions but it did not work. I have also tried all combinations of Advanced Options - Print Setting along with the Presets.
Help!
Mac Mini 1.42 GHz Power PC G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 512 MB DDR SDRAM

I reinstalled the drivers from the original set-up disk (didn't do anything)
I reread the Help topics and noticed that Epson had set the Presets to "Standard"
I noticed that in the ColorSync Utility the default preset was "Standard", so...
I set the "Format for:" to "Stylus Photo R340"
I then changed the "Paper Size" to "4x6 (sheet feeder - borderless)"
- I used to have it as a custom 4x6 size - this may have been the problem
Then I went into the Print menu from iPhoto and checked to see that the
Preset was "Standard"
From there I went into "Advanced Options" -> "Print Settings" and changed the Mode from "Automatic" -> "Speed" to "Quality"
I hit print and out came the higher resolution, higher quality photos.
Thanks for helping - I think you put me on the right path.

My printer -photosmart plus B210a prints but the photos are very very dark HELP please

I have a Hp photosmart plus B210a just trying to print out some photos and they are very very dark The photos themselves are light and of a high Dpi any suggestions anyone ??? please they are of my son's wedding so are very important to me

What program are you printing from? What operating system? What are the printer settings for paper type and quality?
If you are printing from a program that allows selection of CMYK or RGB printing then select the RGB setting. Even though the inks are CMYK the driver is expecting RGB data.
