Printing and Client Management

I have an HP printer that needs a specific driver. I have it setup on the server and managed by WGM.
When I try to print, it uses the generic driver and prints all goofy. Prints just fine from the server. All machines have the driver installed.
I have some printers on the admin side the user is also pulling/seeing.
Is there a way to prevent the users from seeing the local account printer and use the correct print driver?
Running 10.4.9.

Hi
You can try the method suggested in the other reply but it is this sort of problem you get if you configure the Print Service from a client with the Admin tools installed. Its best done from the Server. However if you have already done this then there is nothing else I can add.

Printing and color management

I have an old all-in-one HP printer and decided to print a few pictures. Unfortunately the printouts look washout compared to what I have on the screen. I thus went into colorsynch utility and tried to figure out how to set my printer for prints that look like my screen... Did not work out well. I am using Adobe Illustrator...
Could someone tell me how colorsynch works and how to get, in general, printouts that look like my screen? Is this linked or separated from Adobe suite?

Have a look at this posting and in particular the responses from Kurt Lang. It should answer your question.

Attempts to wrap my head around printing and color management.

So, I've been meaning to get (more) serious about printing my shots. It's the summer and I now have some time.
I know I've got the first piece of the puzzle in place. I have an i1 Display 2 that I use to calibrate my monitor - my MB + one of 2 Dells using either or TN or P-MVA panel. I try to use the latter more.
I've viewed the image with different monitors and lowered the brightness when 'soft proofing' with Canon's profile. It's the best I can do being that I don't own a spectrometer.
Anyway the result on my screen was so incredibly different. The black was grey. I lost shadow detail. And it just looked flat. I tweaked it a bit but it didn't help.
I decided to test print using the Canon Photo Plus Glossy paper I had. I set the ColorSync Profile box to the profile I soft proofed with. The result was horrible!!!! Incredibly dark and ugly. It however wasn't grey or very flat - though it was so dark.
I tried again with the colorsync profile set to system managed. This produced a result darker than the screen, but not grey like the profile. Sort of an average between the screen and profile. Much better but still not great.
Then I ran out of paper and couldn't try anything else.
So here's the technical info if it matters:
I'm using a canon ip5200 with 3 fresh inks. The other 2 are fairly recent and not used too much.
The paper was Canon Photo paper plus glossy
The photo was a sports shot with a heavy dark vignette I think a more even shot would be easier to work with. However, the dark vignette with blonde flying hair looked great. (Who says sports can't be artistic?- I love the vignette to for some shots!)
So what exactly is the ColorSync Profile menu in the print window for?
What am I doing wrong?
PS: Sorry if this is a repeat, but the search function is down.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but there are some seriously weird stuff going on with printing with Aperture and 10.5 I would not have believed it had a number of my clients and friends not experienced the same kind of issues that I personally walked through and witnessed.
I can give some general advise in terms of helping to resolve your issues. By all means update to 10.5.4 do a repair permissions on your drive, make sure that you reinstall the latest greatest printer drivers for Leopard downloaded from Canon, and wave some chicken bones over your system.
You may also want to trash your Aperture prefs and Printer presets and start from scratch. (if you do not know how to do this hit me back)
Then give it another try - make sure that you turn off color mgt in the printer prefs dialog, select the appropriate paper and then select the corresponding profile in the aperture print dialog. (Have heard reports that if you do not turn the color mgt off in the driver the option becomes unavailable after you select the paper profile in Aperture but does not turn it off - cannot confirm)
Hope this helps.

Photo Printing and color management

Using a Epson Stylus Photo 2200 printer on 10.5.1. Looking how to turn
of color management. Getting a pink hue on my prints. Past experience is color management is getting in the way in the driver. Looking through the epson online docs, what I see on screen does not match with the window menu picks for the epson utility. Checked printers in system preferences/drivers nothing to turn off there. Any thoughts on turning this off?
Thanks,
The new guy with his first MAC.

Having turned off the Epson colour management, you need to ensure you have selected the correct colour profile in CS3. It helps to calibrate your monitor correctly and use a profile designed for your printer / paper / ink combination to ensure what you see on the screen is what feeds out the printer. Paper brand can make a startling difference. There are companies that offer a profiling service. You print out a pecific photo / pattern from their provided file and send them the print on the ink / paper you use and they email a profile.. Google will find these companies for you.

Blue printing and Test Management in Solution Manager

Hi All,
I have a few questions regarding projects in Solution Manager.
1) We currently have our test cases maintaned in an excel sheet. Is it possible to create same in Solution Manager?
2) Our blueprinting was done outside of Solman. To build the test cases do we have to carry out the blueprinting again? or can we just upload the documents?
This is my first time, therefore am a bit lost in this.
Thanks,
Savindi

Hi,
You can keep your test cases in excel sheets. In Solar02, in the test cases tab you'll be able to upload the test cases in xls format or create it.
Regarding the blueprint, there is no way to upload it or use the generated one. I would recommend you to set your whole project
in solution manager and generate the blueprint again.
Kind regards,
Fabricius

problem is I want use client drive mapping here to save users work and
Client printing for print the reports. Can anyone help how to do that ?
Thanks Regards,

Rachana,
Can you describe your network architecture again? How many NICs do you have
on the Tarantella server? What's the name(s) and IP address(es)? How many
NICs do you have on your W2K server? Name(s) and IP address(es)?

Publish client print queues as managed preferences?

Hello,
I followed the documentation from Papercut NG on Mac printing, section Publishing the printer via Workgroup Manager to get the defined print queues for my client machines published as managed preferences.
I set up the print queues on the server. On the client, I configured the server print queues using the local Administrator account and printed successfully a few test pages. I then logged in with an Open Directory account with admin privileges. I then open Workgroup Manager, select a Computer Group, click Preferences, select Printing. I enable Manage Always, but the list of Available Printers remains empty, contrary to what the screenshot tells me from the referred article.
Environment:
+ Snow Leopard Server 10.6.1 on a MacMini.
+ Snow Leopard 10.6.1 on a MacPro.
Am I missing something?

Print server, AD, and Profile Manager

Having a number of issues that I can resolve regarding printing--I am trying to set up profiles in the Profile Manager, but printers are not available or visable. However they are visable in the workgroup manager. The printers reside on Windows print server (2008 R2). Further I can add the printers to my server, but they are not visable in the "Printer Sharing" section of "sharing". So with that, I have a few questions:
1. Do I need to turn on Kerberos in CUPS? User's don't authenticate to our printers via Kerberos, but via the Account manager of the individual printers.
2. Why do settings in Workgroup manager not apply? I can add the printers via LDAP the the new groups I have added, but when I open profile manager the changes or printers are not implemented.
3. How do I make printers visible in Profile Manager?
I have scoured the net and several manuals, but I can seem to stumble upon the correct answer.

Hi,
I have the same issue, very frustrating. Using a Win 2003 AD and 10.8.2 server and clients. If i use WGM I can see all users and groups correctly, but Server.app and Profile Manager does not show them correct.
Strange that we see issues like this since Profile Manager has been around for a while, really interested to hear other peoples experiences.

Printing with HP B9180 and Photoshop Elements 8 and Color Management

I've got a bit of confusion about certain settings in the printing process and I've posted a rather long discussion of my 'issues' and confusion. I hope someone can give me some guidance here. I've seen a lot of these issues addressed in many places but I can't seem to find an integrated response. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read and respond.
Color Management Questions
My problems started when I was getting pictures that were too dark from my HP 9180 printer after having gotten very nice prints for a long time. I had obviously started to do something differently inadvertently. The only thing I think that is different is that I got a new 23 inch monitor, which does produce much brighter on-screen images. So, I started to do some research and know just enough about color management to be slightly confused and have some questions that I hope someone can give me some help with.
Equipment Background
I use both a Canon 20D and a Canon PowerShot SD600 camera. Both have the default color space as sRGB, although the 20D can be also set as RGB.
I also use Photoshop Elements 8, where there are a variety of settings possible for printing.
My monitor is an HP S2331, whose color space is sRGB and cannot be reset to RGB (I think) except for temperature; the default is 6500K.
My printer is an HP Photosmart Pro B9180 Printer, where there are also a variety of settings possible.
I’m running XP-Pro.
Here’s Where I Get Confused
Everything I have read about color management (various web sites, forums, books, etc) says to have the image, monitor, and printer all in the same color space.
Everything I read about PSE 8 (same sources) says to set PSE 8 to ‘Always Optimize for Printing’ under Edit>Color Settings in order to get the best prints. This displays photos based on the Adobe RGB color space.
I am taking pictures in sRGB, and telling PSE 8 to process them in RGB by selecting ‘Always Optimize for Printing’. Is this something I should be concerned about? Should I reset my camera for RGB?
Further, by selecting ‘Always Optimize for Printing’, I am setting PSE 8 for RGB while my monitor displays sRGB. Is this an important issue or is it also much ado about technicalities that an amateur should not worry about? It does violate the ‘keep them in the same color space’ rule.
Next, when I go to File>Print and get the Print window and then do the Page Setup and Select Printer, I then go to More Options in the lower left of the window. Under the More Options window, I select Color management and select Photoshop Elements Manages Colors. Next, there is Image Space, which is fixed and not subject to selection from a drop down menu.
I understand that this is the image space of the image I took with my camera and that information is embedded in the image. Correct?
Next, there is Printer Profile. But, from what I have read, this is where the IEC profile of the paper being printed on is supposed to be selected, isn’t it?
Shouldn’t this more appropriately be called Paper Profile, or Printing Media Profile? Further, this drop down menu appears to be somewhat erratic, sometimes showing all of the paper profiles I believe are loaded, sometimes not. It also shows listings such as Working RGB-Adobe RGB (1988), Adobe RGB 1988, Dot Gain 10%, 15%.... along with a lot of paper profiles. Aren’t those profiles unnecessary here?
I’ve used both Relative Colorimetric and Perceptual Rendering and am happy with either one.
Next, when I go to Printer Preferences, in order to “…disable color management in the printer preferences dialog”, under the Color Tab, I select Application Managed Colors from the Color management drop down menu, and also have the option of selecting ColorSmart/sRGB and Adobe RGB (1988).
Is there any time when I should use either ColorSmart/sRGB or Adobe RGB (1988)? If I were staying with my camera’s sRGB setting, given the fact that the monitor is sRGB, would the appropriate selections be ‘Printer Manages Colors’ and ‘ColorSmart/sRGB’?
Finally, under the Features Tab, I go to look for the same paper I selected under Printer Profile (Question 4 above). If it is one of the pre-loaded (by HP) profiles, it is there, but if it is a profile I downloaded, say for an Ilford paper, it isn’t listed, and I need to guess at an equivalent type of paper to select.
Is there any way to get that listing to appear under the Paper Type drop down menu?
I know that this is a long post, but it helped me to clarify my ‘issues’. Thank you for any and all suggestions, answers, guidance and help.

RIK,
Some printers have long names, esp. HP printers, and PSE gets ":confused." In control panel>devices and printers, right click on the default printer, go to printer properties, and rename the default printer to something short, e.g. "Our Printer." That may fix it..

Windows 8 and IE 10 crashed after printing from Report Manager SQL server 2008 / 2008 R2

We have a problem with Windows 8 in combination with IE 10 and printing reports.
When we print a report from the Report Manager 'http://<servername>/reports' the browser crashed after a print.
Sometimes before printing and somthimes after printing or when you close the browser.
Al other operating systems like XP, Vista, Windows 7 with different IE versions have no problem.
I tried the report manager from SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2.
The same error occured when printing from our Internet application and the reportviewer.
(ASP application written in Visual Studio 2010 and reportviewer version 10.)
The event log shows two different messages.

Is there a fix for this problem?

Dear Mike Yin,
Thank you for your response. Your answer was the
reason for finding the real problem.
In december 2010 a SQL Server 2008 fix was the cause. I don't remember exactly the problem, but we changed the RSCLIENTPrint-x86.cab file. But instead to use the version of SQL Server 2008 we used the version of SQL Server 2008
R2 (10.50.1600.1). This worked until
Windows 8 (Internet Explorer crashed when printing).
We fixed this problem by using the RSClientPrint-x86.cab file from SQL server 2008 (10.0.5500.0).
But we now get the known problem that the
activeX always must be installed again.
The reason for this is that the version of
the SQL Server (10.0.5512.0)
and the rsclientprint.dll (10.0.5500.0) is different. SQL Server is newer (caused
by a security patch (KB2716436)).
Do you know when this problem will be resolved
by Microsoft?
Work arrounds
I've also tried to install the RSClientprint.dll
every time automatically (without user interaction).
But this will be delayed the printing for more
than 4 seconds. This
is very annoying.
Another workaround is to generate a PDF and print the PDF. But this is also
a lot slower.
Uninstall the security patch. but I don't know the security risk.

Print and Softproof colors are bad for "Application managed color"

Hello... Not sure if my problem is a Mac OS X issue, or a Lightroom issue. Either way I hope it is just user error.
While printing, my prints look good using "printer managed color", both preview and printed output look good. I am used to using "application managed color" and am getting very poor colors, in both the preview and the printed output.
I am somewhat familiar with color management, and understand the basic concepts of profiles.
I have a new iMac 20" display, that is calibrated. I am printing on a HP 8450. It appears that both the printer and LR are trying to manage my color when I am trying to do a "application managed color" print. Not being familiar with OS X, I have not been able to determine how to disable the color management of my printer driver.
If anyone has any suggestions, please help... I have been fighting this off and on all day...
One other thing... off topic, but if anyone knows how to adjust a 20" iMac 20 RGB values, please let me know. I can't see how to manually adjust the individual channels.
Thanks, Mike

Well, it sounds like you are not getting all your ducks in a row on setting up LR for "application managed color". There aresome excellent step by steps in one or two other threads. A key point is using the individual icc profile for the specific paper not the generic.
To properly calibrate you Monitor you should use a Calibration device, like a Spyder not tweek the numbers by hand/eye.
It is just user error.

Streamlined Client Management and VDI with Configuration Manager 2012

Hi,
There is an interesting blog about managing ConfigMgr 2012 Clients in a VDI environment.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/server-cloud/archive/2011/11/15/streamlined-client-management-and-vdi-with-configuration-manager-2012.aspx
But I didn't find any way or description in the blog on how to prepare the client in the base image used for VDI. Do we still have to make the client unique before shutting down the base image? Or will this be done automatically?
Are these new attributes (IsVirtual, IsMachineChangesPersistent ...) enabled by default?
Thanks!
Gr. Cédric.

No this is handled by ConfigMgr post SP1
Are these new attributes (IsVirtual, IsMachineChangesPersistent ...) enabled by default?
For XenDesktop -no you will need to enable them in the client settings (not sure for other virtual
solutions)
In the SCCM Console go to the Administration workspace; click Client Settings. Right click the Default Client Settings and choose Properties
Choose Hardware Inventory and click Set Classes.
Click the Add button and then click Connect.
Enter the computer name of a master image device that has the SCCM client installed.
Enter root\ccmvdi as the WMI namespace and click Connect.
Select CCM_DesktopMachine. Click Ok.

Printing borderless and color management

I have some printing woes within Aperture, but forgive me because I am a former Qimage user who is used to perfection in every aspect of the printing process. (Maybe parallels is in my future.)
1. Borderless
I have my printer settings set to 4x6 (sheet feeder - borderless) and "best fit" as the orientation. I have scale set to "fill entire page." My 4x6 prints come out with a white border on the left and bottom. The preview gives no indication of this problem. Can someone give me some help getting a true borderless print?
2. Color management
I have my monitor calibrated using a Gretag MacBeth Eye One Display 2. I use a paper printer profile. I have turned off color management in the printer driver.
My prints are dark. If I increase the gamma setting in the dialog box, they get better.
What might be my problem? Why coming out dark?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Is there a "borderless printing" setting within your printer's print dialog?
My prints are dark. If I increase the gamma setting
in the dialog box, they get better.
I'm just trying to learn about this myself, but one quesion might be whether your calibration system is tuning your monitor to a gamma of 1.8 or 2.2. Everybody seems to agree that it should be 2.2 these days. This makes the screen look lighter (at least on my system). So I guess this would be going the wrong direction (if it turned out you were calibrating to 1.8).
How sure are you that you have the right ICC profile for your printer and paper? Even as I ask that, though, I'm finding that I dislike the results my "correct" profile gives. This stuff is hard.

Please clarify license about server managed and configuration manager client ML system center 2012

Could clarify why managed servers License required ,already we bought the configuration manager client ML License ? We are planing to buy system center operation manager 2012

Hello,
if you wants planing to Monitoring your AD with Exchange Server and you have only one physical Server with for example 2 CPUs and 2 VMs, you need to purchase the System Center Standard 2012 R2 SML for Monitoring your Server environement. However, if
your AD is a datacenter or for example 4 x Windows Server Standard with 8 VMs than, you need to purchase the System Center datacenter SML.
the System Center SML is licensed per physical Server: one license up to two physical CPUs. if you have for 2 physical Hosts with 2 CPUs each, you need to purchase two System Center licenses.
the only difference between Standard and datacenter is only about virtualization rights
for System Center Operation Manager for your Clients Desktop, you need to purchase the System Center Client Management Suite includes: Operation Manager; Services Manager; Data Protection Manager and Orchestrator.
