[SOLVED] cups, lpr and colour settings

I want to print via lpr to a cups printer using grayscale though the default for the printer is colour printing. Is there an option to make lpr go grayscale?
In the gnome3 crippled settings dialog I can not set these things. In system-config-printer (part of system-config-printer-gnome pkg) I can set the default.
Any ideas on howto set either the lpr colour scale output (preferably) or switch the default to grayscale by console?
thank you

You could try changing some options using lpoptions.
Use:
lpoptions -l
to list printer specific settings
then
lpoptions -o option=value
to set it.
On my HP printer, I had this particular option:
ColorModel/Output Mode: *RGB CMYGray KGray
So I set
lpotions -o ColorModel=KGray
To set my printer to a Black-only grayscale mode.
Hope this helps

How do I configure the brightness, contrast and colour settings of the built-in HD Camera on iMac?

I have recently purchased an iMac after making the switch from PC.
I am struggling to find an app, or settings configuration where I can modify the brightness, contrast, color and white balance settings for the built-in HD camera. The online manuals didnt give me any answers so I thought I would turn to the communities pages for some help.
The room where the iMac is situated has a light behind me and I am facing the wall so not much light in front of me except the ambient light from the screen. Friends on FaceTime, Skype etc. say that the picture from the built-in camera is too dark and difficult to make out my face clearly. How can I fix this?
Any and all help is most welcome.
Thanks
UKRichard

I would move it if it weren't the main room light that is fixed to the ceiling. Not remodelling my house just for the iMac camera. On my old PC all the webcams came with utilities to adjust these settings, I am surprised Apple dont have something similar for free.
I did see another post about iGlasses here, but not sure I want to pay $10 just to adjust my camera settings

[SOLVED] Remove gconf and dconf settings?

Hey all,
Some time ago I gave GNOME SHELL another spin and today I've started with a system cleanup. Before GS got installed, I did not have gconf nor dconf installed but I assume they leave their schemas behind when you remove them. Where can I find these and how can I remove every schema and/or setting they have stored on my laptop?
EDIT: Also, when removing GDM, pacman returned this:
error: command failed to execute correctly
I guess this means that it also left some files on my laptop. Perhaps the gdm user/group it makes, but maybe something different. Can I check what it left behind?

I would run pacman -Qo against the files and see what packages owns them.
BTW the error in your first post, is exactly like it says. It tried to run a command but couldn't. Here's gdm's post_remove:
post_remove() {
glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
dconf update
gtk-update-icon-cache -q -t -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor
getent passwd gdm >/dev/null 2>&1 && userdel gdm
getent group gdm >/dev/null 2>&1 && groupdel gdm
Maybe the dconf package got removed before gdm or something.

Photoshop CS5 - colour settings in Print menu not working after update Mac OSX maverick

After upgrading to Maverick OSX on the iMac printing from CS5 via Epson R3880 is not working correctly. In Print Settings menu the drop downs for Colour and Colour Settings are greyed out. I already re-installed PS and installed the new drivers from epson. Any ideas?

but after choosing PS manages color, the options in the print menu for choosing color (color or b&W) and color settings are not available anymore. They used to be the last three years I printed with photoshop/epson 3880.
Instead they are greyed out now.

If Photoshop managed color, then the controls in the printer driver are supposed to be grayed out - that's how Apple specifies drivers to work (because only one party should be managing the print color).
So what you're describing is perfectly normal.

I made some amendments to my colour settings in PS CS5 and now everything prints black and white. Please help me to reset all the settings to default

I made some amendments to my colour settings in PS CS5 and now everything prints black and white. Please help me to reset all the settings to default. This was after I tried to implement the steps set out in Real World Photoshop CS5. I stuggele to match the colours of my two screens, the one a laptop and the other a LCD and the printer, even after calibration with Spyder 3. Really lost at present.

Tap Settings / Wi-Fi. Tap the blue circle with an arrow to the right of your network then tap: Forget This Network.
Restart the iPad. Tap Settings / Wi-Fi. Tap the network name again then type in your password.
If that didn't help, try here > Apple - Support - iPad - Wi-Fi Assistant
And try turning off your router for 5 minutes, then turn it back on. Try typing in the password again.

Problems with print and colour profiles etc in CS4

This is driving me round the twist. until recently all was fine, but lately everything seems to have got screwed up. I am trying to print images produced in Corel painter, which have been placed etc into an .ai artboard. (CS4)
No problems until recently, but now there seems nothing I can do to make it print accurately. There are so many colour and print profile choices available, I don't know which to pick as there doesn't seem to be a default.
The screen image adjusts to any profile or colour management settings I change, but the actual print image never bares any relation to that screen image.
Work I have printed previously,( and have not adjusted settings for )without any problems at all.. are now printing inaccurately.
I'm using a Canon MP640 inkjet printer by the way.
The same is true with printing from PS and any other application.
I haven't made colour settings through Bridge for all adobe apps' as none of them so far seem to be accurate.
Even if I saave an image to pdf or jpeg, and print from preview, it still comes out with the colours badly changed.
Please, please help.. I can't work this out and I have got to print!!!

willspring,
Just to make sure: As I understand it, things worked in CS4, not only in earlier versions.
To reset settings in Illy, you may Move the folder, but it may not solve the issue (the simpler but less thorough resetting being to Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup).
Have you made any changes, such as printer driver or whatever, between success and failure?

Colour Settings in CS4

Hello,
I changed my Colour Settings in the Edit menu to 'Best Workflow CS4' which apparently synchronised my colour settings, but the printed colours are now muddy and have lost their vibrancy. It is a US orientated setting for US inks. I am in the UK and use Ilford Smooth Pearl Paper with the appropriate colour profiles loaded. What are the recommended colour settings for printing in the UK?? Is it Europress 2 which is what I'm now trying out??
Annabel

You haven't provided enough information for us to judge how much you know about creating a color-managed workflow. From what you've said, the issue could be anything from your monitor not being calibrated and profiled to a printer settings problem or even a driver bug.
Is it safe to say the root of your problem that the images you see on your screen don't match the images you see on the paper? If so, please start by describing what steps have you taken to ensure the images you see on your screen are accurate.
Also, it would be good to describe your workflow, i.e., how you get images into Photoshop, what profiles you use, etc. Be as specific as you can.
Color-management can be a difficult topic and color-management problems can't always be solved in forum threads. If it's important to you to be able to predict the color of your prints accurately - and it sounds like it is or you wouldn't be here - you will need to take some time to read up on color-management. You ABSOLUTELY cannot just "set some stuff" and forget about color-management. In order to get it right you have to get your mind around how it works. I'm not trying to scare you, nor to say that you don't already know how it works - I'm just trying to help you avoid some frustration.

How to change colour settings on Satellite Pro P300

I just got my new laptop and can't for the life of me find how to change the colour settings in the monitor.
On my old desktop there was a button on the monitor.
Being a first time laptop user im going nuts trying to find how to change my monitor settings...
If anyone can help id be so grateful

Please dont mix the notebooks internal monitor with the external desktop PC monitor.
You will not find any control unit like on the external monitor which would help you to change the color.
I dont know what graphic chip your notebook uses but my notebook supports Intel graphic card and the preinstalled Intel graphic media accelerator (in control panel) provides some settings for color correction;
The settings are; color, gamma, brightness and contrast
There you can set the values between 0 and 100

Issue with HOST "metric and policy settings"

Hi All,
I have a OMS and EM Reporsitory installed on a linux machine I have connected four agents(4 hosts) to this grid control. For one perticular host I could not see any predefined metrics. The steps I followed are I have opened a host and went to "Metric and Policy Settings" and there I could not see any predefined metrics like Log file patteren match metrics and CPU utilization metric etc. For checking I have access "All Metrics" option there I can see all predefined metrics but their "collection Schedule" set to Real time-only. I think this is reason why I am not able to see these metrics in "Metric and Policy settings" for customization. How can change the Collection Schedule of these metric. This case is only for that perticular host other hosts are fine and showing metrics and allowing me to customize thresholds values.
As someone suggested I stopped and cleared the state of the agent and then started the agent again but the problem is not solved. Please suggest me a solution.
Regards,
Ashok Chava

You could create a MONITORING TEMPLATE of the metrics you want to collect and base it off of a host that has the Metric and Policy Settings SET and apply it to this perticular host.
Have you checked Setup> Management Pack Access> for HOSTS?

Yosemite and print settings

MacBook Pro 15 " mid 2012 upgraded to Yosemite.
since I moved to Yosemite printing with programs like Apple Preview and Pages does not work as before with the Mavericks.
if I open a pdf file with Preview settings are limited:
if I open the pdf file with Skim or MS Word printing works correctly with the menu and the Layout / Finish can print two-sided:
nose so I have the impression that the application should be made in Apple searches for the printer to a different folder from the one to which they support the non-Apple applications.
Who do I solve the mystery and says the solution?
sorry my English translation.
emiliano

I looked on the website and it seems that the drivers Konica Minolta bizhub C253 to Yosemite will be updated in January 2015.
But I wonder:
because the same printer works with Word and Skim but does not work with Pages and Preview of Apple?
I believe that the Apple software go to look for the drivers to a location different from non-Apple software (Words, Skim etc ...).
sorry my English translation.

What are the correct setup and system settings for importing HDV video from tape?

I keep trying different "easy setups" and system settings/preferences in order to import both the audio and video from HDV recordings on miniDV tape to no avail in either FCE4 or FCP5. I import via firewire from the camera. My computer "sees" the camera and controls playback (I can hear the audio) but no video displays for capture (just color bars).
My camera is a Canon Vixia HV40 and my computer is a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
I've tried the HDV easy setup...no video...
I've tried HDV 1080i/60 as I saw recommended somewhere else...no video...
Captures standard video just fine but I'd like to try editing some higher def footage.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks.

The combination of all these helpful ideas solved the problem.
I set AV settings to HD and Apple Intermediate Codec HDV 1080i/60 AND set the cameras output to "locked" HDV. Funny, it had been on "A" (Auto) before and should have simply sensed the need for HD output. I then tried to capture using "A" again and this time it detected the difference between SD footage and HDV footage (I had clips of both kinds on the same tape).
I ran similar capture tests on FCP 5.1, FCE 4, and FCPX and all three programs captured HDV video and audio.
Thanks again everyone. Be sure the camera is set to output HDV or "A".

Changing colour settings on Qosmio X500/02G

How do I change the colour settings on my X500/02G running Windows Home?
At present the colours are way too bright and saturated - similar to the way tvs are set up in stores.
I've changed the brightness to no effect. I've checked the NVIDIA software but its not controling the colours some other sofware is - which I cant find
Any ideas?

Hi
How did you change the brightness? Normally therefore you can use the key combinations FN+F6 and FN+F7.
Furthermore the colors can be changed in driver options of your graphic card. Right click on the desktop and choose the display properties. In advanced options you can find it and the driver menu will appear.
