Printing from iMac G4 to HP Photosmart 7760 – Colors are heavy on pink side

Hello~
We have an iMac G4 Flat Panel using OS 10.3.9 and are connected to the HP Photosmart 7760 Printer.
When we print directly from our camera card, the printer prints fine. True colors.
When we print using any software application, (ie Photoshop, iPhoto) the printer prints extremely heavy on the pink side. We have installed new cartridges, have cleaned and calibrated the printer, have unplugged and restarted the printer and still to no avail we have pink tinted photographs.
Could someone help please?
Thank You!
iMac G4 Flat Panel Mac OS X (10.3.9)

It seemed to be nothing involving our printer. A recalibration of our computer display did the trick.

NOT PRINTING FROM WINDOWS 7 TO MY PHOTOSMART c7180 ALL-IN-ONE (I CAN SEE MESSAGES IN QUEUE)?

CANNOT PRINTING FROM WINDOWS 7 TO MY PHOTOSMART c7180 ALL-IN-ONE (I CAN SEE MESSAGES IN QUEUE)?

Hi,
I think you need to remove the queue. Please try:
    hold down the Windows key and press R.
    from the Run window, type services.msc and hit enter.
    if the machine asks for Admin you have to accept this,
    look down to the print spooler service, right click it and select properties
    click on the Stop button,
    browse to C:\Windows\System32\Spool\printers
    delete the job inside this folder
    reboot the machine
Regards.

When I print pictures from my IMAC to my Hp C8180 they are grainy, even when I select the Best Quality- Why can't I get good quality printing from Imac ?

When I print pictures from my IMAC to my Hp C8180 they are grainy, even when I select the Best Quality- Why can't I get good quality printing from Imac ? Use the same printer with a PC and printed the same picture files- they are printed with high quality- Why can't the IMAC do the same?

Does this involve iPhoto for the Mac?
How exactly are you printing these photos?

Trying to print from Safari to an HP photosmart 5514. Printer comes up on the iPad and iPad goes through the motions of sending to the printer yet nothing ever prints.

Trying to print from Safari to an HP Photosmart 5514. iPad sees the printer and goes through the motions of sending my print but nothing prints. I can print photos from my iPad but no e-mail or anything from Safari. Any suggestions?

Dh11unit-
If there is a print job stuck in the print queue, double-click the iPad's Home button. A row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and look for the Print Center icon. If you find it, you should be able to delete the bad print job.
If the Print Center is not there, your print job probably did not proceed far enough. It is possible your WiFi router does not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint. If that is the case, you would need to contact your router's manufacturer to see if there is a change to its setup or a firmware update that will fix the problem.
I suggest you download the free HP App, ePrint Home & Biz. It has limitations, but should get you printing.

Sharing Printer from iMac

I have an HP PhotoSmart C4280 connect via USB to my iMac running OS 10.5.4.
I have shared this printer in the Sharing Panel of the iMac.
My PowerBook sees the printer & can select it, but when I go to print a document it says it is unable to connect to iMac port 621.. then times out.
I have updated all software & restarted.
Any other ideas?

i have this same problem. i have a "shared" printer (HP aio 5610) that worked before under OS x 10.5.4 and earlier. my host is a mac mini with USB to the HP 5610. i print from the mini or one of my two laptops that connect to the mini via Airport.
now i am using 10.5.5 and suddenly my other laptops (i have a mac book air and ibook) both cannot connect to the HP 5610. they can "see it" for sure but printing times out just like DanofSled says on port 630 with eventual timeout.
these laptops "share" the HP all-in-one via wireless airport extreme network. all worked fine before 10.5.5. only good for printing, no all-in-one functions though (known issue).
i have repaired permissions, reset printers on all macs, reinstalled HP software, installed HP driver pac, reinstalled 10.5.5 via download combo update, switched on and off the printer, used different USB, reset CUPS (a tip i came across but didnt work). i strongly suspect 10.5.5 broke the shared printing.
Satellites can see the HP 5610 everytime i reset the printers.
under system pref/ printers/default i CAN see the HP5610 and the correct location. BUT now it says "Print using: Generic PostScript Printer" as the actual HP driver is not on that laptop.... it can take a long long time (4 min) to allow you to add this printer, but once it does, the Printer shows up in "Print and Fax" under "System Preferences" just fine. as normal i "Add" the printer to the sattelite and theoretically it is now shared. But its not!
the host mac mini still works fine for printing and scanning.
however, now, under 10.5.5 the satellite laptops (airport) wont print. their own (satellite) print queue will accept the job, but it will eventually time out. the host mac-mini will never show the job on its own host print queue. clearly there is no connection.
NOTE: Under the satellites' print queue(s), you can select Printer/Network Diagnostics... and this shows an error at "server", the last light. the message says....
" Network Diagnostics was able to connect to the Internet, but not the server "HP Officejet 5600 series at XXX Mac mini.ipp.tcp.local". This could be caused by problems with the server or an Internet problem between the computer and server."
my printer is hooked as it always was. directly USB to the host Mac-mini, and "shared" via Airport to my two laptops.
anyone know what is up? reverting back to 10.5.X will be difficult

Is anyone able to print from intel Mac using HP photosmart 7350?

I am trying to setup an intel 24" iMac, running OS 10.4.8 or 10.4.10, to print to an HP photosmart 7350. Printer works fine from an old PPC Mac, running 10.4.8, and other printers working fine from the iMac.
I'm moderately Mac-savvy, having had one or more on my desk for the last twenty years, and have exhausted my litany of workarounds, reinstalls, reboots etc etc etc.
Printer doesn't appear to be supported in intel OS install for 10.4.8+.
Has anyone actually got an HP photosmart 7350 printing from an intel Mac? If so i'd appreciate your advice on how you achieved this.
Cheers
Dougal

Alas no joy.
I've installed and played-around-with the gutenprint drivers and I can 'see' and select them to drive the printer. I have not yet managed to get a half-decent print out of them. Either nothing happens, or the paper tractors right through the printer with no print added, or some of the image is printed compressed in on itself in the upper cm of the page.
At least they are communicating with the printer.
I think I'll plug the photosmart 7350 into the old PPC Mac and transport files over to that box for printing colour.
Thanks for the lead, an area I've not explored before.
Cheers

Unable to print from my iPad to HP Photosmart 6520

I recently purchased this Photosmart 6520 printer so that I can print from my iPad. I do not have a laptop that works in order to install the software that is included. The salesperson who sold this printer to me said that I didn't need a computer in order to have this printer work w/ my iPad.
I've connected the printer to my wireless network, I've received the printer's e-mail address and enabled e-print. On my printer it says that e-print is connected and On.
I've downloaded the eprint app on my IPad and connected it to my printer. It recognizes my printer but when it goes to print it says "oops! we could not complete the job. please try again. " "there was a problem during printing. please check your printer try again"
I'm getting all my jobs in the queue but none of them will print. and when I go to my email or try to print a document from my ipad w/o using the HP e-print app its telling me that there are no airprinters found.
Please help me. this is the 3rd printer i've bought trying to get it to print w/ my iPad and i'm not having any luck! what's wrong? I'm not getting any errors on my printer.
I also did a wireless network test on my printer and it says no problems found. I'm confused why isn't my iPad recognizing this airprinter?? and why can't I print. All the print jobs say failed.

Hi,
iOS Uses Bonjour services to communicate with the printer through the network, those relies on Multicasting.
Some routers shipped with Multicasting disabled by default and some does not support those protocols at all.
Please try printing using Wireless Direct and check for any difference, if the feature works without using the router that indicates the issue as router related and will allow us to better understand how to go further,
To set up a direct connection using Wireless Direct follow the steps below and try pritnign from your iPad:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03351623&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5169041&tmp...
Please let me know if the feature works while bypassing your router or not, as well be sure to clarify your router brand and model.

Can't print from iMac USB; works from AEBS

I have an Epson CX6600 printer. Normally it's connected to my AEBS so that I can access it from all my computers (2 Mac, 1 Windows) and the printer works fine. However, when it's connected to the AEBS I can't scan directly to the computer, use the Epson Smart Panel, etc - so to do that I hook the printer up directly to the iMac's USB port. Works fine for scanning, but I can't print from the USB port on the iMac. Is there something I need to do to enable printing from a built in USB port on the iMac? I'm stumped! I'm using Panther.

Got lucky and figured it out myself! I had to install the printer as a USB printer; it had been only installed via the AEBS as a Rendezvous printer.

Printing from Macbook Pro to HP Photosmart Plus B210a

Hi,
I am experiencing difficulty in printing documents from Macbook Pro to HP Photosmart Plus B210a. This has only been a problem for the last 2 weeks.
I think this may be due the most recent update of OS X Mavericks 10.9.3.
I have tried to update printer drivers from HP web, and it indicates that the printer in connected to my network router, and I have been able to run a testprint to the printer.
However when I try to print any documents the print queue seems to be trying to print, but never actually generates an output document.
I am looking for any advice/guidance on how to solve this printing problem.

Hi Eric,
i note that 10.9.4 is Mavericks.I cannot link directly as it is a wireless printer.
I have tried using the Terminal app, and typed the command as you indicated and i got the response attached.

I found that had to break this process. i don't know what this tells you with regard to the status of the printer connection.
Please let me know what I should do next?

Riddle: Printing from iMAC to printer on networked print server

Here is a Doozy:
I am having trouble printing from my new Intel iMac over a wireless network, through an attached print server.
Here is the layout & issue:
Configuration:
I have a Windows XP PC & iMac in my office.
I have a wireless network connecting the 2.
On this network & have attached the SimpleShare 250GB network HDD, with print server
I have a Canon Pixma 800 attached via USB to the SimpleShare print server.
Issue:
The iMAC cannot print out of the printer.
The iMAC searches, finds & installs the printer (name: MP800, puts it in WORKGROUP, with queue of MP800)
It sends the job & says the job is done (looking good!).
I hear the HDD fire up (a couple clicks). But nothing prints out & the printer does not recognize a job was sent to it. (ARGHH!)
I have:
upgraded to the latest firmware on SimpleShare.
The windows PC prints fine to the printer, through this same configuration.
The iMAC prints fine to the printer when connected directly.
The iMAC reads/writes fine to the HDD itself through the network.
The internet connection works fine through this configuration.
The ONLY issue is getting a print job from the iMAC to the printer.
ANY & ALL help is appreciated, its driving me crazy...

I suspect it may be a driver issue.
It may work with the PrintFab Drivers (but these cost).

How do i print from my iphone to my photosmart a646

I have an Iphone 4S. My printer (A646) recognizes it, but it doesn't recognize the printer via the bluetooth. How can I print from my Iphone?
Thanks

Currently there isnt really a way to do this. All you can do is copy to a computer, then print from there. If you happen to have one of the adapters for the iphone that allows you to hook up a memory card to it, you could copy photos to that, and then put that in to the SD slot on the printer. This may only be available for the ipad though.
There arent really any current mobile photo printers either as a replacement to that. The only mobile printer still sold is the officejet 100 mobile, which is bluetooth and has the same issue. If you dont need the printer to be mobile, your best bet may be the photosmart 5510. It is much bigger than your current unit, but is the most compact photosmart and fully supports airprint.

Aperture won't print from photo tray on HP Photosmart 6520

I've just started having a problem printing 4x6 photos with Aperture. When I print a borderless 4x6 glossy using the photo tray on my Photosmart it works fine. When I say to print a 4x6 borderless using the photo tray with photo premium paper it prints from the main tray rather than the photo tray. Plus now it's giving me a picture with borders, even though I specified borderless. Anyone have this problem?

Sorry, I do not know anything about your Printer. Have you looked, if there is an update for your printer driver, before you start reinstalling Aperture? If yes, upgrade your printer driver first. Also check, if you are having the same problem when printing from a different user account. Maybe some settings in your user accunt or startup items are interfering. You could also check, if printing from iPhoto or Photoshop has the same problem (but don't waste expensive photo paper on these tests ).
What is the Aperture version you are using?
Let me ask this: is there a problem deleting Aperture and reinstalling it? Will I lose anything? Thanks.
Your images are stored in the Aperture library/libraries, and your settings in your user library. This should not be affected by reinstalling Aperture. But do not reinstall, without ensuring that your backup is current.
How to reinstall will depend on the Aperture version you are using. This support article describes the procedure - ignore the title of the document - it is written to help with a nasty bug.

Print from iphone 4 to hp photosmart eStation

I am trying to print from an iphone 4 to the hp photosmart eStation, but my phone can't find the printer. the phone keeps saying no printer available. Both devices are on the same wireless network and I have tried the power cycle method. Can someone please help?

I'd be happy to help tballar1!
What kind of router are you using? This is important since the ability to use AirPrint is dependant on whether or not the router supports bonjour/multicast. If you let me know, I'll try to get back to you with some more suggestions asap!

I Cannot print from imac iPhoto 9.6 using Yosemite 10.10.1to Epson printer? How do I fix this problem?

I Updated my iMac to Yosemite 10.10.1 and cannot print from iPhoto 9.6 to my Epson picture mate PM240 photo printer. I had no problem printing before the upgrade. It seems like I don't have a connection between the iMac and Epson Printer. I checked all connections and they are correct. I visited the Epson site and there were no updates available for the PM240. The problem arises after I select a picture to print. When I select PRINT from the FILE the spinning color wheel begins and I cannot go further.
I Contacted Apple and the technical adviser ran the iPhoto troubleshooting programs within IPhoto. This seemed to solve the problem, but the problem almost immediately reocurred. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Thanks for the replies guys. Epson put me through a complex set of instructions to install an earlier driver. The problem was not solved. Apple also tried to solve the provlem by getting rid of the printer, unplugging it etc and then re starting and checking computer/printer communication by printing a test page from the system preferences/Pring & Fax options. This worked proving the the computer and printer are talking to each other.
The printer works properly as a stand alone unit. That is, I can copy and print and scan and print with no problems.
The Apple support guy didn't suggest any Apple alternative drivers so I assume there aren't any.
Neither the Epson nor Apple assistants seemed interested in the printer generated error message. I would have thought it would at least provide a clue to the problem to someone with technical expertise.
It seems that there are a lot of problems with the 10.6.8 update so maybe Apple will get to work and bring it up to scratch. I hope it gets things right soon.
