[Solved] Color problems in ncmpcpp

I am configuring my ncmcpp config to be like I want it, and I have run into a problem that is starting to become very frustrating.
I want the currently playing song in the playlist to be bolded, but when I set the $b and $/b flags on now_playing_prefix/suffix, the text becomes magenta. I have not set any text to be magenta in the config file, I just want it to be the same color as it normally is, just bolded.
This is what it looks like:

I suspect this is a problem with Xresources missing  a bold font option.
For whatever reason, when the xrdb does not have a usable setting, it uses this pink/magenta color.
FYI: you should resize that image to fit with forum guidelines.  You can post a thumbnail here and link to the fullsize image hosted elsewhere.

  • My firefox background color is black how to solve this problem?

    Every time when i open firefox my background is black. for fix the proble go to tools then options then colors then tick "use system colors" and "Allow page to chooses their own colors, instead of my selection above" then press double "ok" colors problem is fixeed. but when i close and re open firefox see same problem meaning my background is black. Please how can i solve
    ? thanks!

    My new laptop arrived today and it is the first time I ever see Windows 8. I experienced this problem with a black background in any Firefox page.
    After a long troubleshooting process on a draconic OS I have never experienced, I found the culprit.
    1. Hover your mouse (don't click) over the top-right corner (or press the Window key and the C key.) This will open the charm bar.
    2. Select Settings.
    3. Choose Personalize.
    4. Change the background/wallpaper.
    5. Enjoy your Firefox with its true colors. Hoozah!
    After applying that solution, if the background of your favorite website looks a flat white, then:
    1. Go to TOOLS in Firefox. Select Content.
    2. Click the Colors button.
    3. Enable "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
    4. Click OK and OK.
    5. Firefox will automatically display default background colors of websites.

  • Epson 2200 Color problem solved...I think

    I have read the posts on the color problems with 10.6 and the EP 2200. I too had the same issues after installing 10.6 this evening. After much teeth grinding and some choice words I set about solving my printing problem.
    The Gutenprint driver has the same problems GIMP had. It isn't really printer specific, as in all the options you once had. I would rather have no driver than have this lame piece of software automatically installed. Gutenprint will make the printer run but that's about all it will do.
    The solution is pretty easy:
    1. Open System Preferences. Click on Print and Fax
    2. Select the 2200 (or any printer giving you fits) and click the to delete the printer. Close prefs.
    3. Go to the Epson site and download the 10.4 driver, Epson 11832. Install.
    4. Also download the 10.6 updater and install.
    5. Open System Prefs>Print and Fax again.
    6. Click the and select the printer model, in my case Epson 2200.
    7. In the drop down window Select Epson SP 2200 not the Epson Stylus Photo 2200 - Gutenprint v5.2.3! The latter being a Jack of all Trades and Master of none.
    8. All the print functions reappear as expected.
    Do I believe the reports of Epson dumping on the Mac market? Not a chance. Mac has the majority (well over 50% and growing) of the graphic and creative arts market. Most professional photographers I know use the Mac platform and are very enthusiastic about it. Epson couldn't afford to turn their backs on the Mac platform.
    With 10.6 I did loose all my custom icc profiles from PS but not PS Lightroom. I also lost the custom monitor profile. I will re-profile my paper/ink/scanner/monitor and consider it a light hit. I'm sure I don't know why this update was so rough on the drivers. I'm also sure that there will be other pains I have yet to discover.
    Is 10.6 crap? Probably not. Will I install 10.7 when it arrives? You bet! At OSX worst it is better than Gate's best!!

    This is all good info, but for me at least, the real issue is not whether you can get the driver/printer to function (most people seem to be able to get it working) but when you get it functioning under Snow Leopard are there color issues.
    Although the printer may work fine for basic documents etc, it is for color-critical photo work that I need my 2200. Many other posts are reporting that although the driver is functioning, there are fairly severe color issues when trying to create high-quality photographic prints using the standard color-managed workflow. This would be rather crippling for photographers and other artists who rely on their 2200.
    Maybe those posting here could comment on whether they have been using their 2200 for photographic purposes and whether or not they have seen color issues. I wonder if some people just aren't noticing a problem because they aren't doing color-managed photographic work.
    I haven't installed Snow Leopard yet and I'm trying to determine if this is affecting a very small percentage of people or if everyone is having trouble getting proper color from their 2200 since Snow Leopard. So far I haven't seen a single post specifically stating that they they are using the 2200 for high quality photo printing and have had no color issues under Snow Leopard.

  • Tips for solving red reddish color problem in Flex2-14

    My flex2-14 screen color was very reddish, so I was trying to calibrate the color using the calibration tool in control panel. However, it is not satisfied.
    I have solved the problem using Intel HD display tool in Control panel.
    Open the Inten HD display tool, then increase blue contrast as 52, increase blue gamma as 51, increase color saturation as 8..
    Then, it would be better..

    I am not sure this..
    Instead of if pls give while and check:
    try{
    while(rsValue.next()) {
    g.setFont(fntHeading);
    g.setColor(Color.red);
    g.drawString("Main Report",200,100);

  • Can anyone help me solve the problem of text displaying very rough on my new ASUS PA279Q display monitor running off my MacBook Pro?

    This is regarding a brand new ASUS PA 279Q, 2560 x 1440 IPS monitor. I'm connected via mini display port (into thunderbolt port on MacBook Pro) to display port on ASUS monitor; using cable ASUS included with the monitor. Mid 2012 MacBook Pro…full specs at bottom of this post.
    I have resolution set at 2560 x 1440 which is the native resolution according to the ASUS spec. I tried the other resolutions available in my System Preferences and text displayed rough with those settings too. I've tried adjusting contrast, brightness and sharpness via the ASUS control panel and didn't solve the problem. Also tried calibrating via Mac's system preferences/display and that did not improve text display either. All the text on this monitor (no matter what software I launch, Finder, InDesign, Illustrator, MS Word, Excel, VMWare Windows XP, Windows versions of Word, Excel, Acrobat, etc, all are consistently rendering text the same way ---  ROUGH and with "HALOS" around each letter.
    All point sizes of text and at various scales, display very rough on the screen. (My comparison is the retina display of my MBP and a Thunderbolt…so those two displays are my expectations.) I'm using the same MBP for both a Thunderbolt display (at work) and this ASUS at my home office.
    On the ASUS it's not as noticeable when the text is on white backgrounds, but I'm a graphic designer and compose images with text all day everyday. Not to mention the specs on this ASUS PA279Q indicate it's built for the professional so I would expect better text rendering. I haven't even addressed color calibration and balance yet, because that won't matter to me if the text won't display any better than it is now.
    I was so hopeful after researching all the specs on this monitor it would be a viable alternative to the glossy display of the Thunderbolt display. (Which, I do love the Thunderbolt display for it's clarity and how it displays crisp, clean text at all sizes. (This ASUS actually displays text decently if I increase the text so each letter is about 4" high. Which is pointless for practical purposes -- that'd be like doing page layout through a microscope!)
    I kept holding off on getting a monitor for the home office thinking the Thunderbolt would be updated soon. I'd be sick if I dropped a grand on piece of 2011 technology only to learn a few days later an updated Thunderbolt display hit the market! Not to mention, I'm praying Apple comes out with a less reflective Thunderbolt display. The glare and reflection is the main reason I looked elsewhere for a large monitor; hence my asking for help. Hoping the ASUS text display issue can be worked out. My expectation is for it to display like the MBP retina and Thunderbolt display text. That possible?
    Alternatively, I guess I could do the Apple Refurb Thunderbolt at $799. And see if there's a decent aftermarket anti-glare I could stick on it?
    Thanks for reading my post. Hope someone can help; offer any suggestions? Words or wisdom?
    Has anyone else had similar issues and figured out a resolution? Help!

  • Color problem with ProPhoto RGB color space

    Hi, everyone,
    I have wery special problem I think. I use MacBook pro 15" with retina display, adobe Photoshop CC and when I export RAW (from Nikon D7000) from Lightroom 5 to Photoshop with settings: 16 bit TIF, color space: ProPhoto RGB I have a problem with displaying the correct colors. As you can see in this picture:
    My problem are some "green" artefacts in absolutely black and white picture. I tried myself to solve this problem and found the following facts: when I convert picture into Adobe RGB or sRGB color space is everything OK - without green artefacts.
    But here is one important fact: I have calibrated monitor by datacolor spyder4elite and problem with ProPhoto RGB incorrect color displaying is only when the color calibration configuration is loaded. When I change my display calibration to standard apple color LCD profile than is everything OK.
    But using uncalibrated monitor and also Adobe RGB color space are no right solutions for me.
    My question is why I have problem with displaying ProPhoto RGB color space in photoshop under calibrated monitor profile and can anybody help me please?
    Thanks for answers.

    That's a classic example of the basic problem with 16 bit color. There is no solution that I know of.

  • HP Color Laserjet 2500 colors problem

    Helloo! 
    I have a problem with my HP Color Laserjet 2500. I use Windows 7 proffesional 32-bit computer. Installed driver from hp support, because the CD that came with the printer, is only for XP/ 2000 /ME etc. I tried both, the PC5 and PC6 driver, always the same problem.
    I can print, but i have one problem, and few questions.
    Problem: Sometimes it prints only yellow color, sometimes only magneta. Sometimes it combines blue and magneta, and leaves black and yellow out. And sometimes, it prints all the colors. I could say, that almoust 50% of the times, it prints normally. When it does not, it prints like i desicribed above, in all different possibilities, sometimes doesn't print yellow, magneta, blue or black. Sometimes it doesn't print two colors, rearly prints only 1 color, and even more rearly (happened about 2-3 times) it doesn't print anything. It has been a problem for years since i attached it to the Win7 computer, but at first it worked great. Then sometimes it messed up 1 document in a while, then 2, then 3 in a week. But now it's bit more than 50% of the documents that it messes up.
    Quesion 1: It appears, that when i choose Printing Preferences in the computer, it displays some different language, i think it's arabic!? Written from right to left. How can i change that?
    Qouestion 2: I can't find my products serial number. When i print out the configuration page, it says Printer Serial Number: CNHDD06356, but when i post it in the HP Chat Support, it gives me error. What am i supposed to do? 
    If you solve my problem, i will buy you a beer when we meet!
    PS. What i've tried:
    Cold reset.
    Different drivers.
    New USB wire from printer to computer.
    All cartridges have over 40% ink in them. Black 44, cyan 97, magneta 76 and yellow 97%.
    Imaging drum is practically new, shows 93%.
    Cleaned the printer inside.
    Added a bit WD40 to moving parts.
    Now i'm hoping you can help me..
    This question was solved.

    Hello again!
    I SOLVED IT !
    Who ever, when ever will have the same issue, here's how i fixed it (sorry for my not so correct english):
    I googeled around a bit more, and found a topic in some forum:
    http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/printer/68382
    http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/printer/63372#1
    And then i saw a video in here:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BoxmagIjhg
    What i did:
    Took the printer apart. All the plastic covers. I think i only had to take 2 screws out, to cet the covers. I only didn't take down the cover where you can put paper in, i didn't need to.
    The cover where you put colors inside was tricki. The lid communicates with other pinions, so you'll have to remove it. To remove it, there is this little black pinion inside the printer. In the center of the pinion, there is a buttonish thing, you'll have to push it to the side ways, from center to edge to remove the pinion and then you'll be able to remove the top plastic cover.
    Then i did as it's shown in the video:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BoxmagIjhg
    You'll have to clean this "solenoid" thing. I used a little knife to scratch off the clue from both pieces. There was supposed to be a felt, but mine didn't have it anymore, and THAT was wat was caousing it. 
    IMPORTANT: My felt from the solenoid was cone, so i replaced it with masking tape. I  cut a little strips out off of a masking tape and clued/wrapped it around the solenoid. It is recommended though, that you clue a little felt back in there, but i didn't have it, so i used masking tape.
    Then i put all the pieces back together and it worked ! 
    You cant believe my happiness, when it started to print every paper correctly. I had this problem for a while,  and unbelievably this worked. 
    If you have the same problem, i hope this trick will solve yours too.

  • Preview color problem in Bridge CS 5.5

    I'm having the following problem with the thumbnails and previews in Bridge CS 5.5.
    After I've scanned an image, the preview matches the colors I expect, with nice saturated colors.
    After opening the image in Raw and making a few changes such as crop I press done and return to Bridge.
    The preview I get is much less saturated then it was before.
    When I reopen the image with Raw it first appears less saturated but shortly after, the saturated color returns.
    Saving the image as a Jpeg gives the correct, saturated colors.
    This problem first occurred after registering the product and receiving an update for Raw.
    Extra info: I'm working with Nikon .nef files. Converting them to Adobe .dng format solves the problem.

    You must have done a screen shot of the thumbnail as the enlarged version is same size.  But can still see difference.
    I would revisit your thumbnail setting and make sure it is HQ Iif you want to see edits in thumbs, and  check the default ACR setting.  Don't assume they are the same as computer can do unexpected things.
    Read the link I gave in post #1 as see if you have all the correct options selected.
    When you click on thumb does the preveiw panel show the same dull image or a correct one?
    It is possible the update fouled everything up, but seems like there would be more complaints.  I am still on ACR 6.4 however.  Am a slow adopter.

  • Has anyone solved the problem of sending Pages docs to Windows machines?

    I am trying to create a business newsletter that can be emailed to anyone who wants it. I'm working with OS X 10.4.10 and Pages. My business partner, who works on a PC, can't read a Pages doc, so I converted it to a pdf, and Windows won't read that, either. So I exported it as a Word doc, and he can read that, except the colors aren't true. What kind of a program creates files that pdf readers can't view? And why did I spend my money on Pages if it can't create a file everyone can read?

    Strange, I've been emailing PDFs with no problems at all.
    I am the only MAC-MAN in the office so all my work goes to 100% PC "market".
    A wild guess - are you using Apple Mail app? If so, make sure the "Send Windows friendly attachments" is selected.
    Do not encrypt the PDFs.
    Do not include EPS graphics (just in case...)
    JPEGs rather than TIFFs (dunno why, but better safe...)
    And most importantly, make sure the end users have the latest Acrobat Reader!!!
    You would be surprised to find how many "incompatibilities" boil down to obsolete software being used.
    To give you an example, I did an internal use web page using a FLASH animation, and several users sent me VERY ANGRY emails that the "MAC crap" doesn't work on their computers, well, guess what, for security (MS-security, not REAL security) FLASH was disabled on the network computers, nuf'said!
    Failing all above, send HTML.
    Hope you solve the problem. Keep us posted.

  • 2-Colorable Problem

    Hello. I hope I am not disturbing anyone by asking about this, but I have a homework assignment due relatively soon that involves determining whether a graph is 2-colorable or not. I am having problems figuring out how to prove a graph is or isn't 2-colorable.
    I thought I could use breadth-first search on an adjacency list and if a situation arose where a node had been visited before, determine if it was the same tree height as the parent, which I thought would prove that it was part of an odd cycle and thus the graph would not be 2-colorable.
    Unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to write the code to do exactly that. So far I have code for three classes: the main program with the breadth-first search method, as well as a queue class and linked list node class for use in the main program.
    Here is the code of the main program.
    package colorabletest;
    import java.util.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class ColorableTest {
        public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
             int numgraph; //number of graphs in file
             int numvertex; //number of vertices per graph
             int numlink;
             String graph; //filename for file containing graphs
             ArrayList<Link> adj = new ArrayList<Link>(); //format for adjacency list
             Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in); //for user input
             boolean result; //determines final response
             //ask user for file name
             System.out.println("Please enter the name of the file: ");
             graph = s.next();
             //set up new scanner to read in file
             Scanner f = new Scanner(new File(graph));
             //create adjacency list
             //initialize list
            Link head = null;
            //for all graphs
             numgraph = f.nextInt();
             for (int i = 0; i < numgraph; i++) {
                  //for all vertices
                  numvertex = f.nextInt();
                  for (int j = 0; j < numvertex; j++) {
                       //feed in information
                       numlink = f.nextInt();
                       for (int k = 0; k < numlink; k++) {
                            int num = f.nextInt();
                            head = new Link(num, head);
                            //add to list
                            adj.add(head);
                  //run a breadth-first search on list
                  int start = 1;
                  result = bfs(adj, start);
                  if (result == true) {
                       System.out.println("Graph is 2-colorable.");
                  else {
                       System.out.println("Graph is not 2-colorable.");
        // runs a breadth-first search on a list
        public static boolean bfs(ArrayList<Link> l, int start) {
             Queue q = new Queue(); //queue for storing vertices to be checked
             ArrayList<Boolean> visit = new ArrayList<Boolean>(); //array for storing checked vertices
             //add starting vertice as true and set rest to false
             visit.add(true);
             for (int i = 1; i < l.size(); i++) {
                  visit.add(false);
             //start the queue
             q.enqueue(start);
             //until queue is empty
             while (!q.empty()) {
                  //get current vertex
                  int current = q.front();
                  q.dequeue();
                  Link trav = l.get(current);
                  int height = l.get(current).height;
                  while (trav != null) {
                       int v = trav.value;
                       //if not visited set height and set visited to true
                       if (visit.get(v) == false) {
                            height++;
                            visit.set(v, true);
                            trav.height = height;
                            q.enqueue(v);
                       //if visited check
                       else {
                            if (trav.height == l.get(current).height) {
                                 return false;
                       //go to next node
                       trav = trav.next;
             return true;
    }Here is the code for the queue.
    package colorabletest;
    import java.util.*;
    public class Queue {
          ArrayList<Integer> queue; //array for queue
          int front; //tracks front of queue
          int rear; //tracks rear of queue
         // constructor for a queue
         public Queue() {
                 queue = new ArrayList<Integer>();
                 front = -1;
                 rear = -1;
         // tests for empty queue
         public boolean empty() {
              return rear == -1;
         // adds element to queue
         public void enqueue(int val) {
              if (empty()) {
                   rear = front = 0;
              else {
                   rear = rear + 1;
                   if (rear == this.queue.size()) {
                        rear = 0;
              this.queue.add(val);
         // returns front element
         public int front() {
              return this.queue.get(front);
         // removes element from queue
         public void dequeue() {
              if (rear == front) {
                   rear = front = -1;
              else {
                   front = front + 1;
                   if (front == this.queue.size()) {
                        front = 0;
    }And here is the code for the node.
    package colorabletest;
    public class Link {
          public int value; // value of element
          public int height; // height in tree
          public Link next; // reference to next
         // constructor for a link node
         public Link(int n, Link l) {
                 value = n;
                 height = 0;
                 next = l;
    }Any assistance anyone can provide toward fixing this code would be appreciated. I have worked for three days on this and I feel I am close to finishing it, but I just can't figure out how to get the last little bits to work correctly.

    I thought I could use breadth-first search on an adjacency list and if a situation
    arose where a node had been visited before, determine if it was the same tree
    height as the parent, which I thought would prove that it was part of an odd cycle
    and thus the graph would not be 2-colorable.Without wishing to offend, this sounds like "What's the most complicated method I can come up with for solving my problem?" If a graph is 2-colourable then there are two possible colourings, and they're isomorphic. Use DFS or BFS, colouring nodes as you go, and if you want to give a node both colours it's not 2-colourable.

  • A color problem in Apple's publishing App

    I was wondering if you could help me with this problem，I really need some help，and here it is：
    There is a Color problem in Mac publishing applications like Pages and Keynote，including iBooks Author，which really confuse me a lot。
    When you use a certain color space（sRGB IEC61966-2.1 in this case）to create some colors with Apps like Illustrator CS6，Indesign CS6 & Photoshop CS6 etc. ，they look totally fine。BUT when you use iBooks Author （V2.0）to create the very same color with the very same color space，colors still look fine in the color panel，and here comes the problem：they look totally lousy in the actual document！！In fact，they look much lighter and faded。（See Image 1&2）
    Above：Image 1
    Above：Image 2
    And this is also terrible with photos you import。（See Image 3）
    Above：Image 3
    Please tell me what I can do to solve this problem。I know maybe this is some sort of “basic” and “general” knowledge，but I really need your help。And I can't thank you enough if you can provide some effective solutions。

    As far as I can see,  the colour pallet and how colours are seen in any app on YOUR machine will depend on the computers System Preferences>Displays>Colour - choose your preferred setting.
    I suggest first that you ensure that your colour profile settings are the same ( as your computer)  in whatever Adobe application or in fact any outside image processor you use.
    Creating or using a colour profile in Adobe and having a different profile on your system - will tend  to  give different colour hues.
    A point also to remember is whatever you set up and is  transferred to your product... when seen on an iPad may well be totally different again due to peculiarities and contrast / brighness setting of the iPad user.

  • Pavilion gv laptop colors on monitor color problem

    I'm having color problems on my laptop. While the colors on my screen aren't terrible,most of the color/textures appear washed out and muted in comparison to other laptops I own. I've tried adjusting the brightness and calibrating the colors but it didn't fix the problem. I'm not sure what the problem could be. Thank you for your help.

    Hey @crawford810 ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand the colours on your notebook look muted. 
    Could you please tell me which notebook model you have and the installed operating system? For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? To see which version of Windows you are using click here: Which Windows operating system am I running?
    For an issue like this you will want to test an external monitor to see if the issue is coming from the display, the GPU, or from Windows.
    You will want to make sure your GPU and BIOS are up to date. You can download the most recent drivers and BIOS at the HP - Drivers & Downloads website.
    I look forward to your reply!

  • Post 10.4.3 update, HP printer color problems, sharing problems

    Hi all
    Hope you could help me; I've looked everywhere for tips, but I've not been able to find anything.
    Setup: HP deskjet 5700 plugged into my G5 via USB. I've got a Powerbook 12" as well, and all is connected via an Airport Express to a DSL modem.
    I've used this setup to print from both the G5 and the Powerbook, via a printer share setup on the G5. It has worked like a charm.
    After the 10.4.3 update, my printer has performed erroneously. First of all, when I go to print from the Powerbook, the printer share of the G5 does not show up. If I switch the share on and off on the G5, it "broadcasts" the share just fine, and I can get to print from the Powerbook again. A minor annoyance, but when I need to do it all the time it becomes a pain.
    But worse yet, another problem arose. The printer output became flakey: Sometimes a picture would print out just fine, and sometimes the printout would seemingly lack one of the primary colors! It seems completely random. This is the same, no matter if I print out through the share or directly to the printer from either computer. Also, some pictures would print out with bands of missing colors. Very odd. Yes, I have tried to clean the printer, print out test pages etc. It's not the printer itself! The printer works just fine.
    I tried to delete the printer in the printer utility and then add it again. No avail. I tried to perform a permissions repair, no avail.
    On top of this is I found an odd thing. The driver version is 2.7.1, and if you find the HP deskjet installer on HP's website, it's the same version. Fine and all, but here's the strange thing: HP Deskjet 5700 does not exist in the support pages of HP! So I have a printer they say never existed... :-P
    Could anybody give me a hint as to what I could try? Thanks!

    macjack made some comments on my other question regarding the time machine problem and his comments helped me solve the problem with the JMP software. The time machine is problematic and from time to time has issues. It seems though that if you reset the in the system then it comes back o.k. I hope that in the future when I have to restore something it will be there for me.

  • 8750 Color Problems - posterized edges / blown out only on photo paper

    I have an 8750 printer.  It worked great for a while.  Printed quite a number of glossy 11x17's from photoshop no problem for a big office presentation.  Didn't use the printer for a few months,  then when I went to use the printer,  the colors started having real problems, giving a posterized look.  So first I bought new cartriges, no improvement.  
    I went throught the cleaning and testing cycles.  Now it is not completely posterized any more but the highlights are completely blowing out and turning white and orange.  But only on photo paper, on regular plain paper the prints are perfect.  It seems to me that this is a software or firmware problem.  I have downloaded and installed the latest drivers.  
    Tried and tried, using small images, selecting different paper, resolution, color controlled by.. options and using many brands and types of photo paper.  One time it came out perfect on a small 2x3 test, thought it was fixed, went and printed same image, same settings from photoshop full size and the blown out highlights came right back.  Printed on plain paper and again print was perfect.  Tried every setting imaginable, including the full DPI but no difference.  Also tried printing straight from Windows default picture viewer, same problem.  Also put a 500mb flash card into the slot (for printer RAM?)
    Ran cleaning after cleaning and test after test.  The test page comes out showing good, but randomly sections of the fine color strips at the top are completely missing, using the print test protocol from the printer's control panel.  Any ideas are really appreciated.  Otherwise this is an expensive piece of ewaste.  Help me solve this problem or the printer gets it!!

    comparison of images on plain paper versus glossy paper can be seen here, I cannot figure out how to imbed image in post

    Also, the image prints fine from my Canon color printer on 8.5 x 11 which is the size I was trying to print from the 8750.  Finally, I also tried printing jpg version of the image from a CFcard plugged into the printer, same result.  Bad.  Weird how it is selecting the areas to blow out.
