Printing Issues with Lightroom 3

I'm confused about how printing is supposed to work. I take a single image and try to print it using the 8x10 template but there are a couple of problems with the output.
1) When using the built-in 8x10 template the image printed is not located on the sheet like the screen indicates to me. Instead, it is pushed flush to one corner and is actually too large (i.e. not 8x10). I keep thinking there is some simple setting that I'm missing but I don't see it. But when I create my own 8x10 contact sheet the image prints the correct size. What is wrong with using the built-in template?
2) The image is too saturated when compared to the monitor.
System details:
Dell 2408WFP calibrated with hueyPRO.
HP Photosmart C6280 printer
  - Color management is set to ColorSmart/sRGB

Somehow, you/Lightroom have attempted to create a new catalog and instead of a new folder name being entered, the name of an existing image file has been used. This screws up Lightroom, so resetting the preferences is the usual fix. When you've done that use your file browser to locate your catalog,  double-click on it to launch Lightroom and you should be good to go.
You'll find instructions on resetting the preferences here: http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?14226-Resetting-%28or-Trashing-%29-the-Light room-Preferences-file

  • Auto adjustment of page orientation causes printing issues with documents that have a page width greater than its page height.

    Hi,
    Since an upgrade from Word 2003 to Word 2010, we are experiencing printing issues with certain
    documents that have a page width greater than its page height.
    In Word 2003, it was no problem to set the page width greater than the page height while setting the page orientation to "portrait".
    In Word 2010, this seems impossible: despite leaving the page orientation to "portrait", if one changes the page width/height as stated,
    Word 2010 automatically adjusts the orientation to "landscape". Resetting the orientation to "portrait" will flip the page's width/heigth settings.
    This behaviour causes printing problems: the page prints out 90° rotated.
    I do not believe this is a printer driver issue: I tried several different printer drivers, and all give the same (bad) result. Setting the printer driver's page orientation settings (before printing) makes no difference, as
    Word 2010 seems to force the page orientation settings.
    Inserting the documents 90° rotated is not an option, since it causes problems with the printing margins.
    This is very annoying, since we have to print official documents of a municipality (driver's licences).
    Is there a workaround for this issue?

  • Anyone else having issues with Lightroom 4 crashing constantly?

    I'm having an issue with Lightroom 4 crashing constantly. It happens with 4.3 and 4.4 (I was hoping the upgrade to 4.4 would fix the problem but no...) I'm running Windows 8, 16 GbRAM an AMD FX-8120 processor (not sure if that helps or not) an NVIDIA GeForce GT 620 Graphics card. Not sure if any other info would help. I've tried deleting/moving the preferences file, creating a new catalogue and all the usual fixes I could think of but to no avail. There doesn't seem to be any particular trigger. I could be in the develop module or the Library Module. It just either gives me the blue screen (sometimes with the error "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED which is a somewhat disturbing but unhelpful error) and reboots itself or the screen just goes blank and I have to manually reboot it. I am totally hamstrung without Lightroom and I have clients waiting for their photos. I am at a total loss.. Can someone please help?!?!?!

    Sadly my research since having the problem agrees that the AMD FX are not good for what I am doing which thoroughly annoys me as it was recommended by so called professionals when the build was done in Nov last year. These so called professionals also failed to see the need for cooling fans in the box which I believe is definitely contributing to the problem especially when the temp in NZ gets up to 30 deg C I am definitely looking at getting some fans in there ASAP as well. Thanks for the confirmations of the inadequacy of the proc and the heat issues.

  • Strange Printing Issue With New HP & Pages

    Hello!
    I have a very strange printing issue with a new HP printer. I have written pages documents heavy in Texts which are located within tables. The documents print fine on a Cannon and Epson printer and look great but when I print the document on my new HP Laserjet Pro 400 Colour M451nw some of the text on some rows come out of the printer looking like they are bold / slightly fuzzy. This only happens with some of the rows of text, not all of them. The font is the same in every row with the same format.
    You can see this in the attached image. The first line (Thanks very much) has printed correctly but the subsequent lines look bold / slightly fuzzy.
    After a lot of testing the only way I can resolve this is if I copy the content into a new pages document and only then it will print and look ok with the HP printer.
    This must be a problem within my origional document. I would simply copy and paste everything into a new document however this would take a very, very long time (over 5 years of work producing teaching materials and over 100 documents and thousands of tables and formatting that cannot be copied and pasted).
    Also, on other printers you can see the lines seperating each row of the table. These lines are not visible on the HP print outs, even when the table is copied into a new document.
    Has anyone come accross an issue like this before? Is there a way I can fix this without creating a new document? Do I need to get a new another new printer (the 4th printer this week!)?
    Any advise, wise words would be greatly apprechiated!
    Thanks!

    Sorry, Fruhulda. After 4 hours on the phone with Apple care they are taking this issue further themselves. It seems to be a problem with our pages document and the compatibility with certain drivers. We have still not gotton to the bottom of it and Apple are going to get back to me when they have an answer.
    We also worked out that the issue only happens when you print via Ethrenet & USB. Printing via Wifi is ok and there are no quality issues.
    Very Strange!

  • Lightroom print issues with Espon Stylus Pro 4900

    I'm having a weird issue with my StylusPro 4900 + Mavericks/Lightroom
    My prints keep coming out 1/3rd their normal size.
    I spent the day troubleshooting and no luck
    Using LR4 ad now CC LR + Installed all the updates.
    Uninstalled old the old drivers and reinstalled new.
    Restarted several times.
    Cleaned up the OSX stuff and more .
    I have been using Epson's for over 10 years but have never run into an issue like this.
    I'd appreciate any ideas or help!

    Not hearing back about the details of your "success" with the Epson driver install, I can only assume that it really does not work correctly - as is the case with everyone else I've read about trying to use the 2200 under Snow Leopard.
    The only work arounds are two, and neither is satisfactory:
    1. You can turn off Color management in the first photoshop print dialog and then select the color managed option in the second - this defaults to the printer's drivers instead of using those in photoshop. The result is not right - the colors and brightness are noticeably off - but it is "less unbearably horrible" than what you get if you try to print with the correct workflow: Photoshop manages colors in the first dialog and No color management selected in the second.
    2. There is a Gutenberg driver for the 2200 that theoretically could let you print without the Epson printer drivers. However, I have yet to encounter anyone who has gotten this to work properly so that it duplicates the color results formerly achieved with the Epson driver and photoshop managing colors under the earlier versions of the OS.
    This is not a good thing. Many of us who rely on the Epson 2200 are not suddenly and without warning and with no word whatsoever from Epson... just plain SOL...
    Epson should at least say something about this. Their statement could be "we will not support this printer under Snow Leopard" (terrible policy, but at least we could all go out and shop for new HP color printers...), "we are updating drivers for this (these?) printer(s) and will have them available shortly," or even "we are looking into this problem and will respond shortly."
    Right now the silence is deafening. There isn't anything at the Epson site addressing this issue at all, and there is no way to follow up on it from the page addressing Snow Leopard compatibility.
    Poor show, Epson.

  • Lightroom printing issue with print server

    I have a DP-G310 print server set up. It works fine with every programme but Adobe Lightroom. When I click print after a while I get the message failed to print. All my other programmes print ok, IE Word, Wordpad, Indesign CS3, Photoshop CS3, Illustrator CS3. The printer I am using is a Canon i9900. I also use a HP cp1700 set up on the same system the same way and has the same problem with Lightroom. If I turn the computer off after the page failed to print (not restart) and then turn the computer back on, it prints. Lightroom prints ok when I connect with a normal USB cable. I am using windows XP, 2gb ram Lightroom 1.4 .1 The same thing happens with Lightroom 2 Beta. Any ideas would be welcome.
    Just in case anyone has a similar problem, this isue has nothing to do with Lightroom. By trial and error I discovered the problem was caused by my internet connection and was initiated by Lightroom connecting to the internet checking for updates. If anyone has any ideas how I can sort out this conflict so I can use Lightroom and print wirelessly at the same time as being on the Interenet I would be grateful.
    Thanks

  • A3 printer problems with Lightroom

    I use a HP 9800 A3 printer (with latest driver) and have and use a spyderpro for colour profiles. When I print any A4, its grand, either on 600 dpi or 'max quality', but when I print Borderless A3, I get very fine horizontal stripes. Printing from CS2, I have no such problems. It seems almost as if the print output in Lightroom is just not geared for large printing.
    Does anybody print to larger formats (A3+, A2...) successfully? - if so, I would assume that its the old supplier points finger at other supplier issue, and I just have to print A3+ from Photoshop - pity, I was trying to stay out of Photoshop as much as possible.

    I have printed Super B (Super A3) (13" x 19")a number of times with great results. I am on a pc with XP Pro. I am using a Epson 1280 printer and have printed on both the Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper and Epson ColorLife Paper. I should add that I have custom made profiles for each paper type. My prints were done from a Nikon D200 camera raw file after processed in Lightroom and at 300 dpi. Once again, the prints were just great!!

  • Printing Issues with HP OfficeJet 100 and Windows 8.1

    We use HP OfficeJet 100 mobile printers and have a printing issue.When we print the printer acts as if it is going to print and then prints one blank page.Printer will not print even though it is showing as default printer.Printer will just stop printing in the middle of a document, even in the middle of printing out a page. We are printing via the USB cableWe are using Windows 8.1We are connecting to laptopsWe have been using the HP mobile range of printers since 2004 and have only experienced these issues since we moved the laptops onto Windows 8/8.1 We have:Uninstalled and reinstalled the printer drivers – this fixed this issue for a short while and then it reappeared againCalled HP support and they directed us to the driver support page which had the latest print drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers with them on the phone. This initially fixed the problem and then it returned a few days laterAfter trawling the support forums found directions to change the print processor to “WinPrint” – No effect as the processor was already on this settingDownloaded the HP diagnostic tool – HP Print and Scan Doctor – didn’t fix anything Any further help would be much appreciated.

    Hello there Lawrence, Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
    I noticed your post about the troubles you are running into when you attempt to install your OJ 6100 printer on your Windows 8.1 laptop. I read all of your attempts and seen you have tried several methods to try and get the installation to complete successfully.
    I would like to make some suggestions that may help. Let me know how it goes!
    1. Check that Internet Explorer pop-up blockers are turned off before downloading the installer
    Internet Explorer Pop-up Blocker: How do I turn off Pop-up Blocker?
    Try to install
    2. If you're running McAfee Live Safe or any other firewall, please temporarily disable the "real time scanning".
    How to disable realtime scans
    Try the install
    3. Go to the start screen (you may also press the windows key + R to open the run box) and type %WINDIR% this should show the windows folder.
    Click on the folder and scroll until you see files. Look for a filed named "HPWINS*.DAT" (the * is for a number that varies) remove this file and try the installation.
    Try the install
    Enjoy your Monday!

  • Printing issue with DeskJet 6940

    About every 20 pages or so, printing in portrait mode, the printer does a form feed after printing about 1 1/2" of text. It happens intermittently, and there is no apparent logic or pattern.
    I have reinstalled the driver, changed the USB cord, but to no avail. My LaserJet CP3505 on the same computer does not exhibit this issue.
    Using Windows XP with SP 3, Dell Dimension 3150 with 3.25 GB ram. It also happened with earlier XP versions, so its not an operating system upgrade problem.
    It happens with B/W or color printing, always using 8 1/2 x 11 paper from the upper tray. It does not appear to happen when printing in two-sided mode.
    I don't know what to try next! Does anyone have an idea?

    I have an older HP non-wi-fi printer connected to my Apple Airport Express wireless router which includes a USB port. This makes the printer available with my wireless network which I've used for printing wirelessly with my former Apple PowerBook and now with my MacBook Pro for years. I'm now able to print from my iPhone and iPad as well.
    You need to have the printer connected to a wireless router for your wi-fi network, or purchase a printer that is wi-fi capable and if you do that you might as well purchase an AirPrint compatible printer which doesn't require a wi-fi printing app purchased from the app store.

  • HP Officejet 4500 Wireless Printing Issues with Online Maps & Financial Institutions

    I have an HP Officejet 4500 Wireless printer that I have wireless connection to my HP G72 Laptop running Windows 7 (64 bit) with Internet Explorer 9.  I am having trouble printing online maps from either Bing Maps or Google Maps.  It seems the print jobs get stuck in the print que and always show an indefinite status of “Printing” in the que but never get printed.
    I’ve tested my other applications including Office 2010 and all other jobs seem to print just fine.  I do use the “Print” button located in each of the online Map sites (Bing, Google).  This is when the jobs get stuck.
    I do also have the HP Bing Bar installed with Smart Print.  The Smart Print feature seems to work with the online maps just fine (seems I’ll just use it instead).
    Another separate printing issue is that I can never get any of my online financial transactions to print from any of my online financial institutions with either the Internet 9 print features or the HP Bing Smart Print feature.  I can never get those to print (have to wait for the PDF statements to be available).
    Any ideas as to why I can print the maps or online financial transaction?  I get no error messages either.

  • Printing issues with HP 310a All in One Printer

    I have a new HP 310a.  Looks good, fast on text printing, but features such as merged envelopes and printing letters on A5 stationery do not print correctly; nor in correct order.  Photos print larger than they actually are and look like they need to be cropped.  Anyone experiencing the same?
    Photo tray has nothing to hold paper in place (except on sides); and when tray enters printer, the photo paper slips backwards and error message "out of paper" appears.
    This is the last time I will buy an HP product

    Hi there,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that your HP F380 has stopped printing in color, and I am happy to help you with this printing issue!

    If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
    If the printer is able to make copies by itself.
    If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.

  • Wireless Printing issues with HP Deskjet 2540

    Hello everyone,
    I am experiencing an issue with an HP Deskjet 2540 printer - it prints if I have connected it to a USB cable; however, it refuses to print if I try to print wirelessly. 
    I had initially solved this problem when I went to System Preferences > Printers and Scanners and noticed two Deskjet 2540 series icons in a window titled 'Printers'. I ended up removing one of these icons and set the other one as a default, which seemed to temporarily solve my problem. Now, I see two icons back in this 'Printers' menu and my printer refuses to print through my wireless connection.
    My printer is connected to my internet connection so I don't think there is an issue here - I also have recently installed the software for this printer to make sure there was not some sort of driver issue; however, this does not seem to give me the permanent solution I am looking for.
    Any Advice? My operating system is OS X Version 10.9.5

    Hey @love2dance,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!  I understand you're having difficulty printing wirelessly with your HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer.  I would like to assist you with this and may have some steps that will ensure you can print wirelessly from your Mac.  
    I recommend you start from scratch and re-do your printer install and wireless setup for best results. 
    Firstly, make doubly sure your printer is connected to your wireless network by doing the following:
    Step one: Prepare for installationTo gather your network name (SSID) and password (WEP key or WPA passphrase), you can ask the person who originally set up your network, see the documentation that came with the router, or contact the manufacturer. HP cannot set up or change the network SSID or the password.
    Make sure that you have the following requirements before you begin:
    Network name: The network name is the SSID (Service Set Identifier).
    WEP key or WPA security passphrase
    A computer that is connected to the wireless network.
    Internet access. HP recommends broadband Internet access such as cable or DSL.
    Your wireless-capable HP product. Place it close to the computer during the installation procedure.
    A USB cable (used only during installation).
    Administrator privileges or password
    Make sure the product, access point, and computer are all on, and that the computer is connecting to the wireless network.
    Connect the USB Cable to the rear port of the HP product and to any USB port on the computer.
    Exit all applications running on your computer.
    Source
    Secondly, prepare your Mac by removing any existing printers added:
    Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    Choose Print & Scan from the View menu.
    Click the "-" (Remove printer) button.
    Next, click here to download and install your printer's software.  As you work your way through the setup, follow the prompts to convert your usb install to wireless.  With this setup completed successfully your wireless printing capability should be restored. 
    One way to preserve this wireless connection is to make sure your wireless mode/router is left on continually.  If at anytime your network connection is lost, reconnecting your printer will mean that it's being assigned a new IP address.  The significance here is that your Mac will be looking to connect with the printer at an IP address that is no longer applicable. 
    Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post.  Best of luck!

  • [Applet]Printing issue with pdf files on Xerox 4595

    Greetings !!
    I'm trying to print to a Xerox 4595 printer from a Windows XP station (limited account) using a Java Web Applet.
    This applet generates pdf files which have to be printed.
    The Xerox 4595 uses a printing queue that is detected by the Applet.
    The problem is the following: usually when printing a simple local file from this computer there is a box that asks you your login to let you create a job and then print.
    When using the Java Applet, there is no way to have this print box displayed. We have the Java Print Dialog but once clicked on "Print" there is no box displayed to pass the login to the printer and let us print.
    Is anyone already worked with Xerox 4595 and experienced such issue ?
    How can I, using the Java language and modify the Applet, ask the printer to send me the dialog box asking for the login ? Without this login no jobs are accepted and we can't print the generated pdf files.
    I looked on the printer queue settings and it seems that the Xerox uses the IPP to communicate with the local computers in the office.
    The server from which the Applet is used is a openSuSE Linux Web server (apache2)
    How come using Linux workstations any pdf files are printed (on shared printers such HP laserjet) and under windows there is jammed characters and sheet feed instead ?

    A lot can depend upon which app your are using on your tablet device, the same applies to computer programs but apps are much worse.
    Which app are you using?
    I would try the free Adobe Mobile Reader. This product seems to support more features than other apps.
    There could even be issues with the type of tablet you are using. The Apple line may work better then Android devices since there is QA check and approval by Apple.
    Another factor is the how the PDF was created.
    How well are the maps displayed on your laptop or desktop? Try different values of zoom.

  • Printing Issues with HP D145 and multiple users from G5

    Hi - I've a HP D145 All-In-One connected via USB to a G5 (as described below). The machine has multiple accounts on for different members of my family. The printer is directly connected to the G5 via USB connection but is shared with other Macs. Printing has become increasingly difficult, and we now have the following problems:
    1. Printing will only work from the administrators account.
    2. Printing periodically (daily, generally after a few hours of use) stops from the administrators account
    Solutions tried:
    a. Check set up for the non-administrators accounts....Looks OK for printing
    b. When printing stops - I've tried repairing the permissions with the Disk Utility. This no longer works.
    c. Run Printer Setup Repair (with option to repair all user accounts) - Works for the administrators account providing the computer and printer are restarted, otherwise no effect.
    d. Reinstalling the software - No effect
    It’s beginning to look like I need to replace this printer with one that works.
    You can help me in two ways - how to solve the printer problems, or alternatively suggest a colour All-in-One printer that can work with multiple accounts and does not have the problems mentioned above.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Melvyn

    2. The reasons why it may not have worked:
    We need to be sure that you are fully logging out of one account and
    then back into the next. The fast user switching feature of the Mac OS
    can create problems with our printer drivers. For this reason, fast user
    switching is not supported by HP.
    The other issue we may be running into would be the Mac OS itself. Over
    the past few months the Mac OS has gone through several updates. When
    the 10.4.4 version was released it created some issues with our existing
    software. An updated version of our software has been developed which
    works well with 10.4.4 and higher, but it is not available for this
    printer.
    It may be that as each new OS update is installed on your computers that
    the issue becomes worse. If you are running the Mac OS 10.4.3 or lower
    then the version 7.3.1 of our software should work fine. If it is 10.4.4
    or higher there will be some issues as the new OS versions do not seem
    to like the older drivers.
    I would have to recommend retrying the full uninstall the Derek had
    outlined. This time however, just install the downloaded 7.3.1 software
    from our web site for the D145. Once it has been installed we need to
    test it fully without adding the scanjet software. I am hoping that
    without both version of our software installed it may work better.
    This should resolve the issue. If you need further assistance, please
    reply to this message and we will be happy to assist you further.
    3. The repsonse to questions on switching and OS X 10.4.4
    You are correct, since you are running the 10.4.4 I cannot guarantee
    that the older software version will allow full functionality. It should
    allow for printing and as long as you avoid the fast user switching,
    when trying to print, it should keep working well.
    I understand the convenience of fast user switching but you will have to
    log completely out of one user, and then log properly into the next
    before you can expect the printer to function.
    I would still recommend trying the steps I had outlined as it really is
    the only thing you can do that may work.
