Printing square picture. Outside area prints grey, not white

I have been printing from Ap for years, and just noticed a new problem. I'm printing some square photos (cropped from rectangular), and when printed on my Epson 3800 the remainder of the rectangle is grey. This is NOT the case on my Canon 9000 printer, which prints a square pic on a white background. Oddly enough, the Canon has the same problem printing from Photoshop; the Epson prints perfectly from PS. Can anyone explain where there is a setting for the background color outside my cropped image?

Have you tried more than one type of printer? I have seen this happen as a result of the drivers used for a particular printer. Also is the modified color table being passed to the control that's being printed?
Could you post your code (in V6 format) along with one of your pictures?

  • InDesign black ink is printing grey not black on Canon MP470 printer

    Just installed a new IMac computer. I have two printers available. Canon MP470 connected via USB port and a HP Photosmart 6510 connected via WI-FI. When printing InDesign documents on the Canon printer all colors print a weak color (black is grey etc.). The same document printed on the HP Photosmart 6510 black prints as black and other colors appear normal as designed. Illustrator documents printed in black on both machines print black. Have I messed up a setting?

    I have had the following Preferences set:
    On Screen: Display all Blacks as Rich Black
    Printing/Exporting: Output all Blacks as Rich Black
    and have also checked to activate:
    Overprint [Black] Swatch at 100%

  • With the newest update; when cliking on a picture to view in a larger size, the back ground of the pictures are in black; not white like the previous version

    how can I get the back ground to be white again; with out "downgrading"

    It is a new feature in Firefox 11+ versions to display a single image centered with an almost black background.
    It is added by this stylesheet:
    * resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css
    You can look at this extension to set your preferred background color and remove the centering.

  • When I try to printe a photo from my Pictures library it says printer won't print, is not connected Etc. Yet if I ask it to print a document it does fine. What is the problem?

    I have a number of photos in my picture library. The printer is a Dell V510 series and was purchased last June with a new computer. It tells me to connect USB, it is and several other things which are all connected. In my picture library are some printed documents. When I ask it to print them it does. Also when I received a picture by email or download my camera I never know where it is going to put the picture. I never had a problem with my Windows XP however Windows 7 doesn't seem to do what I want it to. The instructions that came with it are almost useless. I am not a technical person, but neither am I new to the computer. Thanks

    Yes, as long as it is words, but when I want to do a picture it refuses. The pictures library is part of Window 7. The help program just said to be sure it was connected, power was on to it, unplug and replug, then restart my computer. I did all that. I prints photos that are in other programs. When I first started with 7 I didn't understand how it worked and some pictures were posted in documents. Those pictures print. Windows 7 seems to put the pictures where ever it wants them. I have Picasso on my computer and it doesn't pick up any of the pictures in the pictures library. So I still can't get Firefox to print pictures.
    Thanks for the reply. Iva

  • I would like to know how to change the color scheme of my tabs. They are dark grey with a lighter grey print and are hard to read. How do I make them different colors?

    When I open Firefox, the tabs for the homepages are dark grey and the print is a lighter grey but they are hard to read. How can I change the color of these tabs and fonts?

    This is a customer to customer forum, so this is not the place.

  • When I print my photoshop images white areas print grey

    Using my Epson Photo1500W images created in photoshop print grey in areas that should be White. There is no problem when I print images I have created in Illustrator or when I when I transfer the photoshop image into Illustrator. Any clues ? thanks Mikki

    Did this problem recently start, or has it always been this way? Maybe a Preferences reset would fix it.
    Windows - CTRL-SHIFT-ALT immediately after you double-click the PS icon.
    Macintosh - CMD-SHIFT-OPTION immediately after you double-click the PS icon.
    Look for the "Delete Photoshop Settings File" dialog and click "Yes".
    If that is not the case:
    Check your Printer settings, they are independent of Illustrator.
    Look at the Print Dialog, see what Color management section looks like.
    You  have a choice to let the Printer or Photoshop manage colors. See what works best.

  • How do I connect a Lexmark x6570 printer to my iMac wirelessly?  The basic user guides are not helping me and the add printer is not finding my printer...

    How do you connect a lexmark x6570 printer to an iMac wirelessly?  The basic user manuals are not helpful as the printer is not showing up when using the add printer function.  I my printer is working fine wirelessly with my windows laptop so it appears to be functioning fine.  This is my first time using an Apple at home...
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    I am using a Mac with this router. Any ideas how I can set it up to print wireless. Im not a tech person so this gets confusing for me sometimes. 
    Thanks!

  • I have protected pdf files. You can not copy things, but it is allowed to print. In the menu of the pdf it says you are allowed to print. I already printed lots of times the document. But today there is an error "The printer is not admittet to print these

    I have protected pdf files. You can not copy things, but it is allowed to print. In the menu of the pdf it says you are allowed to print. I already printed lots of times the document. But today there is an error "The printer is not admittet to print these pdf". Its new. Theres no problem with the printer. I can print word documents, internet pages etc. But today I can not print anymore my pdf document, although printing is allowed and only copying is forbidden.
    How to solve the problem with the pdf?
    Thank you.

    Hi Hans,
    There seems to be other restrictions in the document that's not allowing it to print.
    Would it be possible to share the document with me so that I can have a look?

  • When printing to the dye sublimation epson stylus pro 7700 using adobe illustrator it is required that I mirror the image.  When mirroring the image the print colors are muted.  Not mirrored and the print colors are perfect.  Any suggestions?

  • HP printer does not prit black and white if one of the color heads are depleted?

    I bought a 7110 A3 printer and have had several problems till today. The first was that the printer does not print in A3 format if the system is not in Amrican English. Now I just swap the black cartridge and when I use this printer says that the yellow cartridge is over and it does not print anything even in black or white! The strange thing is that i  never print anything in color, only use black ink! I'm almost throwing the printer out the window, i do not know how i got scamed again by HP . I had promised myself never to buy anything from this company anymore!

    Hello,

  • My new filters tree flames and picture frame are greyed out and not available?

    my new filters tree flames and picture frame are greyed out and not available. what do I need to do?

    It's likely that your graphics card/GPU does not support the new feature. If you are using an older video card or an integrated graphics card that is not new like the Intel Iris or Iris pro than that is likely the reason.

  • How come all my eprints are pending and not printing

    All my emails i send to my printer through eprint say they are pending and not printing.  any ideas?

    On my second day of this not working. I've tried sending just text and a small JPG. I have also tried removing the allowed user list so that anyone can send an email to the printer. The print jobs slowly appear in the queue but never leave a pending status.
    This is very frustrating because I'm trying to help my 84 year old father set this up from long distance. I had this working up until yesterday. Even more madening is that there is no online resource (that I can see) that lists the exact menu options for his printer. The PDF files are very generic so it makes telling him what to push nearly impossible. 
    It would seem the issue is on the HP ePrint side. Or maybe were software updates pushed that might need to be applied to the printer?

  • After the new 10.9.2 Maverick upgrade, my Photosmart C4480 3 in 1 printer can not scan and save the file to desktop or documents.  You can only see the image in the print preview area. Does anyone know how to fix this or when a fix will be out?

    After Aple support downloaded the new 10.9.2 Maverick upgrade on my MacBook Air, my Photosmart C4480 3 in 1 printer can not scan a document and load the file on to my desktop or document file. (You can see the doc image in the preview but it doesn't save it.) Does anyone know an Apple fix for this or when the fix will be out?  After hours of trying reloading, and the usual fixes, etc. Apple told me to call HP, and HP told me they don't support Mac.  It does not seem honorable of Apple to put out an upgrade and not tell people it will destroy their scanning ability, and that the only thing to do is to buy another printer/scanner.

    Have you tried using Applications/Image Capture to scan.

  • Print illustrations on white background;  eliminate gray square/rectangle behind images

    working on desktop publishing project that will be printed in black white only. Have photoshop images that will be used as illustrations. when I put these images into InDesign and print them, a gray square/rectangle appears behind the image. I cannot eliminate the gray background. it is essential to the project that the images print directly on paper without the background gray. have tried several youtube video lessons but none has been completely successful yet.

    I don't quite understand..........I'm using iwork pages, I click on shapes (square), I fill square with pink, I click on media (clips are stored there), picture of butterfly is than place within the pink square. However I would like it so that the picture of the butterfly layout only with the pink background. I don't want the white background. Am I missing something, or I'm just not being clear? Thanks for any further assistants.
