Trouble with printing on colored paper

I just purchased an HP Photosmart 6520 printer. My document prints fine on plain white paper but all I get is a blank sheet when I try to print the same document on colored paper. The colored paper is a little heavier heavier weight and has a decorative border.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi gumbeaux,
Not sure if this will help, but try different printing modes. Maybe fastdraft might work? Or try something like selecting brochure paper (if option is there) for the settings.

How to manage colors when printing on colored paper?

I created a design with correct colors and of course when I do the "simulate colored paper" the colors are off (as expected), is there an easy way to alter the colors to match the original colors so that it prints correctly on the colored paper? I figured there might be a way to subtract the color of the paper from the object colors or something. Any workflow help is greatly appreciated!

Inks are transparent and the colours are subtractive, so I’m afraid that any amount of ‘correcting’ will never get you to where you want to go. The colours will always be tinted (or darkened) by the paper. However it may not be necessary to do anything. Take for example financial newspapers. They are often printed on pink paper yet after a time you start to stop noticing the pinkness and colour photos appear normal.

Problems with printing( hp Color LaserJet)

Printer HP Color LaserJet 1500L under Mac OS 10.4.2 Tiger refuses to work normally. It prints 1 or sometimes 2 sheets of paper and then it stops working. All other tasks just move from the active category into completed one without any printing. Printer's indicator starts to wink but then it stops and nothing more happens. The next printing begins only after switching the printer off and on or after restarting operation system. After this it prints 1 or 2 pages and everything begins again. We tryed to use standart drivers which were attached to the printer and the drivers which we downloaded from the HP official site. There is no difference. We tryed to connect the printer to another Macintosh computer under Mas OS X 10.4.2 but the problems didn't disappear. Also we tryed to change USB cable between the printer and the computer. It also didn't matter. Before it the printer worked under Windows XP normally without any problems.

Same printer, similar problems. I get stopped jobs that refuse to print even after I hit the start printing button. There is a message on this site tackling this issue for an Epson printer. Haven’t tried it out yet myself.

Problem with printing true colors

Had PSE7 and colors printed true and beautiful. Upgraded to PSE10 and all of a sudden colors printed muddy and dull with purplish overcast. Took printer in for service but problem persisted. Upgraded to PSE11 and once again colors were printing true and beautiful for over a year. Printed a card about 5 days ago using PSE11 - beautiful. Printed a card yesterday using PSE11 and colors muddy and dull with purplish overtones. Installed PSE13 and colors printing dull, muddy with purplish overcast.. I feel it is a problem somewhere in settings of PSE, but can't figure out where. I don't think it is a problem with printer. Both printer and PSE set to Adobe RGB. Color control set to optimize for printer. Using PC with Windows 7, 64 bit. Printer is Epson stylus photo 1400. Thanks for any help, Merrie

See if this helps:

CP 1215 trouble with printing

Hi,
I have never had any troubles with this product before. My printing machine CP 1215 started to do strange things arround this New year. It is printing with mistake making strips on pictures printed from program MS Word. But not only that. If I try to print some picture in jpg it is printing just black all the space of picture - instead of picture.
My system is Windows 7 and I am bit suspicious that it is some software trouble because of when I connect printer to another PC with Windows Vista, there are no problems at all. But if I connect to another PC with Windows 7, it makes the same trouble.
I removed my old HP software and tried new. No changes, same trouble :-/. I was trying to find mistake in HP software for removing software troubles, nothing. I tried to print mistake page, it was printing strips.
I am sure that my printing machine is not broken as it would not be able to print with another PC without any troubles and mistakes and strips. And why it prints the same mistake with the same operation system on another PC?
I hope to find help here as I quite need that it will start to work properly.
Hi Jana

Forgot to write that it is Windows 7 64 bit.

Trouble with printing tone from Efex Pro to printer from Lightroom

I am having big trouble with a photo that was toned in Silver Efex Pro 2. When I print, the tone is not there. I have done the same kind of toning before, but never had this problem. I even tried printing a photo that had a lot of tone... not there when I print. I am pretty sure I have all the setting correct. Printing with Epson 2880, Epson Hot Press Bright, Profile for HPB, etc.
After 6 hours (really) with Epson and Adobe, the problem is not solved.
Help!

Hi bannyx,
I hate to hear you are having issues. Does the printer have a valid IP address when connected via Ethernet or wirelessly? Click Here for steps to take related to this issue. Please see the below information regarding the connection types for this printer. Also I need a bit more information to proceed if the above link does not resolve the issue.
Needed information:
1. Has the installation been completed from a disk or download?
2. Did the installation software detect the networked printer?
2. What is the IP of the printer when connected with Ethernet cable?
3. Are you able to access the embedded web server for the printer (type IP into address bar of web browser, does printer web page pull)?
4. Do you have security software running on the computer?
5. Is the router running in mixed mode?
Connection information:
1. Ethernet and wireless connectivity are exclusive. If the device is hard wired with an Ethernet cable, wireless communication is voided (radio disabled) because the printer is networked with a cable.
2. Disconnecting the USB cable puts the driver in an offline state due to the fact it cannot communicate with the printer. This is normal; it basically informs the user the device is not communicating.
Hope this helps!

Troubles with effects and colors in FCPX 10.1.4

Hi to everybody.
I have a problem with colors using the effects.
Lets look at more less neutral picture (picture no 1)
ftp://ftp.strefa.pl/Zrzut%20ekranu%202014-12-16%20o%2022.34.30%20%283%29.jpg
If you look at the RGB Parade you see the down part of the RGB distribution is ok.
But if I start to use any effects the Parade changes in this way:
ftp://ftp.strefa.pl/Zrzut%20ekranu%202014-12-16%20o%2022.34.54%20%283%29.jpg
You see, that the down part of the color distribution (for all 3: red. green and blue) is cut-off, even when I use the effects which shouldn't influence on the color.
I spent some hours to find any logic, and I discovered following regularity:
1. The source movie I imported came from Nikon D7100 (.mov), 1920/1080i
2. The behavior of FCPX during the playback of those clips is crazy and ustable (few seconds like in pict.1 few second like in pic. 2).
3. I have instaled the newest versions of Nikon D7100 firmware and of course FCPX 10.1.4. I think (not 100% sure) the trouble with FCPX appeared after 10.1.4 update.
4. I don't have any troubles with other camcorder (Canon XF 100)
Did somebody have simillar effects / troubles with FCPX? Any solutions? I have a job to do, and this situation completly devastating my deadlines.

You would probably find more direct help by talking to other Nikon shooters who use FCPX. M
I don't know anything about the Nikon codec or why it might be giving you trouble while others do not but have you tried simply transcoding the footage to ProRes422? Your files will expand by a factor or three or four but you will not have these difficulties.

Trouble with printing wirelessly to HP color laserjet 3550

I am unable to print wirelessly to my HP. Does anyone have any suggestions?

That is a non-postscript, USB printer. HP's driver is for USB only, because it bypasses CUPS (called a monolithic driver).
Easiest way to get a CUPS driver is install hpijs + foomatic + ghostscript:

I'm really frustraded - Please help - Trouble with printing

Hello guys, Im programing a software for a parking lot in java. I need to print tickets with an EPSON U220 printer. When I print, the margins of the paper are all messed up. It seems I can only print from the half of the paper to the left. What can it be? also, when I print from notepad the same happens, half of the paper is blank and only the other half prints.
How could I solve this problem?
Where could I start reading?
Thanks ALOT for your time!
Best regards
Michel

Trouble with print margins, Adobe 9.4

I am currently trying to send a 22x34 pdf to my Canon iR5055 printer. My goal is to get the pdf to print out true half size on an 11x17 sheet of paper. The problem I am having is that when I do this, the printer adds margins to all four sides of the page, making it not to scale. I have already tried manually adjusting the margins in the Adobe Crop Pages dialogue box to 0, with no luck.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
Chris

Many printers have default margin areas that you can not print to. If you look those up for the printer, you could then put those in with a crop on your copy and then print. That part will still be gone, but the remainder should be scaled correct. The issue is a printer problem, where the printer does not allow any printing within a certain distance of the paper edge. Most of the time, there is no workaround to get all the way to the paper edge.

Trouble with printing wireless

Can anyone help. Up until recently I have had no trouble printing wirelessly with iPad and HP photos mart B210 series. Recently it has become a nightmare.
Printing jobs are left in a que. it connects to the printer, but will not complete print task. The same problem occurs with mac book pro. Printer is connected
To router and so is iPad and MacBook. Iphone4s also a problem sending print jobs. Have spent long hours trying to sort this out .but to no avail.
Then suddenly I van print with iPad and mac book but not phone!,
What is going on!!!

Gotch-
Did you happen to make any changes to your WiFi network at about the time your trouble started?
I suggest you unplug your WiFi router for a few seconds. Then reset the network in your iPad and iPhone. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect each to WiFi.
Is it possible you have a neighbor whose Wifi router happens to have the same name (SSID) as yours? It is possible for a printer, an iPad or a computer to jump to a different WiFi base station with the same name. This happened to me a few weeks ago when I had trouble printing. (There are a LOT of WiFi base stations out there named Linksys!)
