Printing pictures with intel imac

I have a 24" imac with an hp8150 printer, evertime I print a picture it turns out green and dark not showing the true colors of the picture, I am a little new to macs and printing, so I am not sure what to do, I win xp installed in boot camp and printed a photo win xp and came out great. just have this problem in mac os x 10.4.9

Paw,
Just so you know, when this happens on my iMac, it's because the color ink is low. Can you check the levels on your ink tank via OSX? I have no idea why it would work via Windows, unless you need to update your OSX driver. This is not SOP for 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 ?

    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?

  • HP Color LaserJet Problems with intel iMac

    Can anyone give me advice on the following:-
    When I try to print from my wife's new intel iMac 20" to our HP Color LaserJet 2550L, it doesn't work and print center gives me the following error message ... "The process "hppostprocessing" terminated unexpectedly on signal 5" .
    The printer is connected directly to the iMac via USB. It's not on a network.
    I ran the HP Color LaserJet installer from the original CD that came with the printer and when that didn't work I downloaded another (latest) Color LaserJet installer (dated 2004) from the HP website. Still getting the same error message from PrintCenter.
    When I look at the HP installer log, it appears that the installer tried several times without success to install plugins into the PPD folder (HD->Library->Printers->PPD).
    After trying installation and checking out my PPD folder (above) there is nothing in it.
    This printer has been (still) working fine with our older 20inch iMac.
    Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Same happened with my photosnart. Here is part of the email from HP
    Thank you for contacting HP Total Care.
    I understand from your email that you are not able to print to your
    photosmart 1218 printer from your new imac.
    I believe you are correct when you mention the glitch between the new
    Intel processor in the iMac.
    I have checked the Apple website and noted the pre-installed printer
    drivers that ship with this operating system, do NOT include drivers for
    the Photosmart 1218 printer. There are Gimp print drivers available for
    the Photosmart P1000 printer. They may work, but provide only basic
    printer functionality. (see the Apple document listed below).
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303057#hpdrivers
    I understand that our engineers are investigating the driver issue with
    the Intel-based Macs, however, I cannot provide you with an expected
    date of resolution. Your printer was manufactured in 2000, and the most
    recent drivers are from Aug 2005. These drivers were created before the
    Intel based macs were available.

  • HP Deskjet 880c print error on Intel iMac

    Using OS 10.4.8 built-in HP inkjet 3.3 universal binary driver, DeskJet 880c via USB printing fails on two Intel iMac's. Same printer works okay on 10.3 PowerPC G4 eMac with pre-Intel 2.7 driver. HP Support offered driver refresh procedures which do not resolve problem. Printing is fine with some network laser printers, but not with this supposedly 10.4-approved direct USB inkjet printer. Any successes with the new HP 3.3 inkjet driver?

  • Dual networks, express and extreme problem with Intel iMac accessing both

    I have two airport networks setup to two different ISP's. One is setup using two Airport Expresses with a printer hung off one. The other is setup with an Airport Extreme with two USB disks.
    I have a G4 iBook 14" laptop and a MacPro 17" Intel laptop that see and can bee switched between both networks utilizing Internet Connect. They are running OS X 10.4.11.
    The other system is an Intel iMac 20" (late 2006) running OS X 10.5.1. The only wireless network it sees is the Airport Extreme. This is frustrating because I want to be able to switch to the Express network to print and cannot get the iMac to recognize the network. Before upgrading to 10.5.1, I could, on occasion, see the other network, now I can not.
    Has anyone experienced this and is there a way to fix it? I believe it is operating in 802.11n, but have no way to verify this.

    I miss posted this in windows. I reposted this in the Airport Extreme.

  • HP Deskjet 990cxi crippled with Intel iMac

    Has any one been able to get the above printer to be fully operational with an Intel iMac?
    I have lost the ability to print in draft and have not been able to get two sided printing to work although it should(under Layout) using the Gimp Driver.
    I have two versions of the printer installed one with HP's Driver 2.7.1 and the other with Gimp's 5.0.0 beta
    Have also sent an E-Mail to HP with no reply as yet.
    My G4 Powerbook with HP's 2.7.1 driver prints just fine over my wireless network.

    According to the above article that I linked, the latest HP driver for the Deskjet 990cxi would have been included with the Tiger 10.4.4 that came installed on your iMac Intel:
    "All included printer drivers are installed by default with Mac OS X 10.4.4"
    I have the HP Deskjet 6840 and it is on the same list using that same 3.3 driver. When I open Applications>Utilities>Printer Setup Utility and then select (highlight) my printer, wait a few seconds and the "Show Info" button above becomes bold so that I can click on it, the report shows Driver Version: 3.3
    I did not install 3.3, it was just there in the OS when I unpacked and started up the iMac.
    Also, this list from the HP website indicates that the latest 990cxi driver was built into the Tiger software. I did the same search as you at the HP website and see the same thing you found, that it states that the driver is 2.7.1, however, in looking at the date, it is a 2005 date, so that is old, pre-iMac Intel information that I'm sure HP will someday get around to updating. As an enormous company, selling just tons of quality printers, HP has to closely cooperate with Apple to see that Mac users have available, through Apple, the latest updated drivers and software at all times.

  • External 1080p LCD Monitor with Intel iMac

    I have a 17" Intel iMAC. I would like to connect it to a new 40" 1080p LCD Monitor/TV. With the mini-DVI cable, and DVI to HDMI cable, will I be able to view 1920X1080 resolution on the external monitor? Will I be able to use both mirror and extended display modes? I am aware the internal graphic card can support up to 1920X1200 resolution.
    Thanks.
    iMAC Intel Dual Core   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Welcome to the discussions!
    You should be able to see it in the full 1920 x 1080 resolution. You can use either mirrored or extended desktop, but not both at the same time. It is an "either/or" proposition.
    Does this new display have a DVI port? I would use that if possible. I understand that HDMI is digital, but you will not get a better picture by using it over standard DVI. HDMI is DVI plus audio.

  • Printer Sharing with eMac, iMac, and iBook not working

    Hello, everyone. I hope you guys can help me out with this:
    I have an Epson Stylus CX4600 hooked up to my eMac via USB. My eMac prints fine with it. The eMac is getting its internet via an Ethernet wire going downstairs into my Linksys Router, which sends my Shaw internet to my iBook, my iMac, and my eMac.
    I want to allow the iMac and iBook to access the printer over the network directly, so I can just print from those computers and have it come out the eMac printer.
    I've looked at many articles on this. So far I've installed the drivers on all computers, plus they can all network to each other over File Sharing, so they are connected.
    But I haven't been able to print yet. The most I've been able to do is get the files I try to print from the iBook and iMac to show up on the eMac, in its printer queue. Only it didn't show up for a LONG time. And when it did, the jobs automatically stopped and everytime I clicked start, it would automatically switch back to stopped again. The files would not print.
    At this point, I want to get the iBook connected to it first. If I can do that, I'll try the iMac. But the iBook is first priority. I've tried making it connect to the Printer using IPP (IP Printing), and the result was... what I explained in the above paragraph. I also tried just ordinary Printer Sharing, but it said something close to this:
    "Unable to locate eMac.local, Unknown host."
    That hardly makes sense, because at that time I also tried getting the iBook connected to the eMac over File Sharing which worked. For some reason, the "eMac.local" and "iMac.local" files don't show up in my Network thing when I connect to them, or even when they're not connected. HOWEVER, I think they did at one point. I could swear I saw "eMac.local" and "iMac.local" in the Servers folder in the Network section of the iBook at one point. But it's no longer there.
    Please help. I've described my problem as well as possible. What a long post. If there's any way to make my eMac, iMac, and iBook be able to print through my Epson Stylus CX4600 at any time directly, then I'll do it.
    Help!

    Yes. I did say that my eMac, iMac, and iBook are all
    connected to the internet and networked to each other
    over the Linksys router. I believe the router is
    still on factory settings because we never really
    "set" or programmed anything with it.
    Mac OS 9.2.2 on the iMac, Mac OS X 10.4.8 on the
    other two. IP addresses?
    192.168.1.100 is what I would use to connect to the
    eMac from the other computers.
    This is the eMac's IP, correct? Did you type it into Network, or was it assigned by the router's DHCP?
    192.168.1.101 is what I would use to connect to the
    iBook from the other computers.
    This is the iBook's IP, right? Again, fixed or DHCP?
    192.168.1.102 is what I would use to connect to the
    iMac from the other computers.
    Same for this IP.
    The iBook, as I've said, is wired. No wireless
    connections to speak of.
    Okay. Now, if the router is handing out IP addresses via DHCP, what range was it configured for? My Linksys, for example, is configured to hand out IPs in the range 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.254. It has the IP 192.168.0.1, so the IPs 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.9 are available for me to hand out as fixed IPs. If I was to hand out 192.168.0.100 as a fixed IP, the router's DHCP server would have a potential problem, as it might hand out that address too, and only one device can have a particular IP address on a particular network. If your router is handing out 192.168.1.100, .101, and .102 via DHCP, you could and probably do have a conflict if you've got those addresses set up as fixed IPs. In particular, if you have anything else on the network, including Bonjour-enabled devices such as printers, you're likely to have a conflict.
    Best way to resolve a conflict, if any:
    1 set all the Macs to either DHCP, or if fixed IPs are required, to a fixed IP outside the range of the DHCP range on the router. (Or you could just turn off DHCP on the router.)
    2 check the router to be sure that DHCP is set the way you want it, and the DHCP pool is what you think it is.
    3 shut down the Macs.
    4 turn off the router, wait 30 seconds, turn it back on.
    5 turn the Macs back on, one at a time.
    On my Linksys, the way to set the DHCP pool is simple:
    1 log into the router. (My router IP: 192.168.0.1. Yours would be 192.168.1.1.) Hit the 'Setup' tab. Verify the gateway IP. (Should be the router's IP. If it's not, something very strange is happening.) Verify the start of the DHCP pool. Verify that DHCP is on (or off, as you want). Verify the end of the DHCP pool. (My start is 192.168.0.10, and there are 245 IPs in the pool, so the end is 192.168.0.254. If I changed the number of IPs to 200, the end of the pool would be 192.168.0.209, and I'd be able to set the IPs 192.168.0.200 to 254 as fixed IPs if I wanted.) If your router allows for IPs to be reserved, you can set up reserved IPs for one or more of your Macs. (A reserved IP is an IP the router holds for a specific device. The network card in each computer has a specific MAC address; if that address is registered with the router, then every time that computer is turned on and connected it will get the IP that was reserved for it... so long as that IP is in the DHCP range and DHCP is turned on. Think of it as a fixed IP without your having to actually fix the IP.)

  • SilverKeeper backup doesn't work correctly with Intel iMac and 10.4.8

    I use SilverKeeper 1.1.4 to backup daily to a LaCie drive. But it will no longer do automatic backups (that is, wake computer from sleep at 6am before I start the day) since I migrated from PowerBook G4 to new Intel iMac 24". It only starts the backup when I come and wake computer, not by itself, which it had done before...The SilverKeeper people have been unable to help me.

    Could very well be that SilverKeeper's scheduling function no longer works with 10.4.8. Let me suggest alternatives that do:

    2. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
    3. Synchronize! Pro X
    All are universal binaries. You can find them at www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.

  • How do I patch print pictures with the filename?

    I have 1000 student proof pictures to print on envelopes.  one per envelope.  I'm trying to figure out how to print the picture with the file name included.  I need the file name printed under the picture so that when the students turn in their order
    I can find their pictures.  I've been doing a contact sheet of one coloumn and one row. this gets the name included with the picture, however, the system crashes if I try to do all 1000 at once. So I have to break it down into separate folders.  I've found that if i try to this with more than
    76 pictures photoshop freezes and I have to restart.  There's got to be an easier way to do this.  Please, help.

    If you have InDesign, you could set up a data merge to do this.
    Your data file would have one text column with the image name, and one image column (header beginning with '@)
    Set up the first page and run the merge.

  • Typeit4me doesn't work with Intel iMac?

    I've tried installing the most-recent version (2.3) twice now, and regardless the Typeit4me icon does not appear in the menubar - as it should - it does not show-up under the Input Menu section of the International System Preference, and no typed shortcuts prompt any typing.
    Does anyone know of a fix, or a patch to allow it to work with the Intel iMac?
    Thanks.

    Well, Typeit4me doesn't - that I'm aware of or have ever seen anyway. Of course, the MouseWorks software for my trackball doesn't work (that is a System Preference), but at-least I can see that.
    Any idea on when such items will be able to work? I'm a little surprised Rosetta doesn't help here too.

  • Has anyone got HK iSub v1. to work with Intel iMac?

    System preferences does not see the device at all. Have tried different ports with and without USB hubs both through a Series 1.0 and Series 2.0 with no luck. Any suggestions? Or is it time to retire the thing? Pity though it sounds great and still looks good!
    Any advice appreciated.

    I had the same problem and got it straightened out at the local Genius Bar! Did you transfer your folders from a previous Mac on your Intel iMac? The prefs transferred over too and may be corrupt.
    1) Create a new user and give it admin privledges
    2) Under "Library", drag and drop the Audio (which may not be necessary) and Preference folders onto desktop.
    Log out and restart.
    Log back in as yourself and let it fly! By dragging the Prefs folder onto desktop, at restart your iMac rebuilds the Prefs and overwrites previous corrupted Prefs.
    Now I need to figure out why my Sony CyberShot isn't recognized on my USBs! Maddening!

  • Is iMac G5 (no iSight) harddrive interchangable with Intel iMac (white)?

    I have a new (used) Intel iMac, and I'd like to put the harddrive from an iMac G5 (no iSight) into it. Do both these computers use the same type of harddrive? Can I just swap them? Thanks.

    I have recently done the same thing with no problems. They are both SATA drives, so there would be no problem with the system recognising them, my only concern because of the "close to the edge" limitations regarding iMac power supplies was whether the larger drive would draw too much current and exceed the safe limit for the system. I checked with the manufacturer's web site and they both drew the same power so there was no problem. I went from a 250GB to a 400GB drive.

  • Comparing MacBook Pro screen with Intel iMac

    I'm wondering if anyone here that has a MacBook Pro has had a chance to compare its quality to another mac's screen. I've been working on trying to colour-calibrate my MacBook Pro using SuperCal, and I've noticed that the colour on the MacBook Pro is nowhere near as nice as on the intel iMac.
    Obviously expecting a laptop screen to look as good as the larger iMacs is a bit much, but I was still very surprised at the difference in quality.
    Anyone else noticed this?

    The MacBook Pro screen is not as bright or vibrant as any plug-in type LCD I've compared it to.
    However, it is much nicer than any of my previous laptops (including an Aluminum Powerbook G4). It is significantly brighter, with somewhat better color.
    It would be nice if the laptop had a better backlight that could turn on when plugged in, but that's probably up there with my wish for a 2nd processor that would turn on during plug-in as well...
    Cheers,
    Josh
