Printing in green even when black chosen

Lately, when printing from Appleworks 6.9.2, the output is always light green. Selecting text and choosing black from the text colour chart does not have any effect.
What do I need to change to get back to being able to choose the colour I want for text?

AppleWorks has no control over how your printer (via its printer driver) actually treats colors. Many color printers "mix" their own black, rather than use the black ink tank (if your printer even has one). As a consequence, when one of the primary color inks gets low, the black print becomes less black.
If your printer does indeed use black ink, you might try selecting "Color Sync" from the "Copies & Pages" popup in the Print dialog. Then choose the "Black & White" Quartz Filter.

  • Prints in color even when I check B&W only

    Finally upgraded to Snow Leopard and now my Canon Pixma IP4300 only prints in color even when I check B&W only.

    Someone else posted a similar symptom recently. They also had upgraded to 10.6 and were stating that their Canon printer was not printing in b&W. But the cause to their issue was that they were trying to use a B&W preset that they had created for the previous OS X. That preset was made for a different driver compared to the one they were now using on 10.6. When they actually changed the menu to Quality & Media and selected Grayscale the document did then print in b&w. So then all that was required was for them to delete the older preset and create a new b&w preset using the appropriate settings.
    I wonder if you have a similar scenario because I am printing fine to multiple Canon inkjets in grayscale, so I don't believe it is something you need to report to Canon as has been suggested...

  • Hp laserjet 1300 prints 1 copy even when I select or ask it to print more

    HP laserJet 1300; Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit; printer only prints 1 copy of page/document even when requesting more than 1.

    Hello smarber,
    I have few work-arounds which should resolve the issue ..
    #1 >
    Make sure the printer is ON.
    Unplug the Power Cable from back of the Printer.
    Unplug the USB cable from back of the Printer incase you have the printer connected with USB cable, else ignore this step.
    Wait for 30 seconds.
    Plugin the Power cord to the Printer,and wait until gets back to home screen.
    plug in the USB cable to back of the Printer incase you have the printer connected with USB cable, else ignore this step
    Now Try printing multiple pages.
    #2 >
    Click START > Device and Printer > Add a Printer > Add a local printer >
    ( if the printer is connected with USB )
    Select "Use Existing Port " then Virtual USB from drop down  , Click NEXT, in the Manufacturing list , select HP / Hewlett packard, and from the right pane , select Deskjet 6980 and complete the wizard
    OR
    ( if printer is on Network, ) 
    Click START > Device and Printer > Add a Printer > Add a local printer > Select "Create a New Port" > type in the Printer's IP address Click NEXT, in the Manufacturing list , select HP / Hewlett packard, and from the right pane , select Deskjet 6980 and complete the wizard
    Now try printing from lotus and hopefully it should work.

  • I cannot see the print button on the bottom tab in order to print a document even when I hide to tool bar.

    I recently changed my computer software from Vista to Window & Ultimate. Since changing, I cannot see the print button which should be at the bottom. I have tried to hide the bottom toolbar but it still does not allow me to see the print button. Please give me directions in easy to read English.

    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
    *"View > Toolbars"
    Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
    *View > Toolbars > Customize
    *Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout
    *Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

  • My laser Jet 1320 will only print one copy, even when asked to print mutiples. Any thoughts?

    I have a Laser Jet 1320. I have windows Vista (I know!!!) It will only print one document despite being instructed to print 2 or more. I have tried re-installing the drivers but to no avail. Does anyone have any solution possibilities. Thanks

  • Is the W520 supposed to whirrr and click even when completely shut down?

    I just received my W520 (#4270CTO) about 3 weeks ago.  This is my first laptop (to be used for video editing and animation), so I'm not sure what to expect.
    I noticed that when I shut down the W520 (go to "Start" select "shutdown"), it continues to make a very faint whirrr and click noise.  The noise pattern goes like this:  long whirrrr, click, short period of silence, then it repeats.  It does this all the time when the computer is turned off.  Even when I don't use the computer for 2 days, and it is turned off, it continues to whirr and click.  It only stops when I disconnect the battery and reinstall it.  Only then, is it completely silent.
    Is it supposed to do that (the whirr and click all the time)?
    The whirr and click noise is very soft, so you have to lift it up and listen to it but it is audible.  My friend says that it is the hard drive noise, and said it should not be doing that, but he doesn't have a W520, and isn't familiar with it.  So I thought I should ask someone else who has one to see if theirs is doing the same thing.
    I also noticed that the fingerprint reader LED stays lit all the time except for when the computer is on and I'm using it.  It stays green even when the computer is shut down and the lid is closed.
    Please help.  Is my W520 working properly, or should I call for tech support?
    Thanks for any comments and advice.

    The power brick makes no noise.  I am charging the battery now, and the power brick is warm but silent.
    I've only noticed the noise coming from the underside of the computer when my W520 is turned off with the battery still attached.
    If I remove the battery and reinstall it, the noise stops.
    If I plug in the power brick, the noise stops.  (The brick doesn't even have to be plugged into a wall socket.  I could just plug the power brick into the computer without plugging in the other end to a power supply.)
    Of course, if I remove the battery the noise also stops.
    But if I use the W520, then shut it down and leave the battery attached, it will continue to make the faint long whirrr and click noise.  I have let it sit without turning on the machine for 3 days, and it continued to make the soft noise every day.
    I don't suppose your computer makes the same noise.  Maybe my computer really is defective.  It works great otherwise.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:

    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Color Report prints in Color from Viewer, Black & White when send to PDF

    RE: Crystal Report sent to PDFBlaster
    Hi,
    I have a Crystal Report that contains a Color Logo. The particular problem that I am facing concerns sending the report to PDFBlaster.
    When PDF BLaster is selected as the "PRinter" from the Crystal Viewer Print Button, the report is rendered in color. However if the PDFBlaster is selected from my Windows form, and SelectPRinter is used to print the report to PdfBlaster, the report is rendered in Black and White.
    I noticed that this happens if my default printer is Black and White printer. IF the default printer is color , then the report is rendered in color regardless of whether it is printed from the Viewer or not.
    Is there a setting that I can use to preserve the Report's properties? It seems to me that I am losing the "color" properties of the report when I use the ReportObject.SelectPrinter method.
    Thanks in advance for help/advice.
    Sri

    Hello,
    Moved to Legacy SDK forum.
    You did not say what version of CR and I don't believe this is .NET either so I moved your post where the RDC is posted. In any event what you discovered is what likely you need to do. Add another printer and set the default option to print color. Then when your app selects the printer use that printer.
    CR Engines do not have a specific API to set the Color option, you select/set it in code first.
    Thank you
    Don

  • Can't Select Epson 3880 ABW [even when printer manages colors]

    I can't seem to figure out a problem I'm having trying to print using ABW mode on my Epson 3880 from LR5.3 - it is greyed out an inaccessible.  I'm familiar with the safety net that precludes double color management when LR is set to print with a profile.  But even when I have output set to "Managed By Printer" I still can't access ABW.  It's grayed out.
    What am I missing here?

    Is there a way to start from scratch in the driver settings? 
    Here is the Epson-Apple driver fix hocus pocus which is to delete all instances of Epson printers from System Preferences>Print & Fax.
    Then go to /Library/Printers and toss the whole Epson folder.
    Toss LFP Remote Panel (IF you are using this utility for your printer).
    Then reinstall drivers.
    When you go back to Print & Fax to add the printer, on 10.6 I had to wait almost a minute before the IP version of the printer showed up, whereas the Bonjour one shows up right away. Then add the IP instance of the printer. This is for printers on a network.
    Then re-install LFP Remote Panel if you use it with this printer.
