Unable to obtain vivid print quality with HP ColorJet CP1515n after upgrading to Windows 7

Since I upgraded to Windows 7, I no longer get the same sharp and vivid images that I used to get using Windows XP. The colors also differ from the colors on my screen.  Apart from upgrading to Windows 7 and installing the HP Universal PCL 6 driver, no changes have been made before the problem started.  I still use Corel Draw 10 and print on the same glossy paper used when the print quality was fine. 

dpv,
If we suspect operating system or driver problems since moving to windows 7 we can try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on. Let us know the results. 
Best of Luck!

  • Printing problem with HP laserjet 1100A after upgrading to Mac OS Maverick

    Good afternoon,
    I have always been able to use my HP Laserjet 1100A with my iMac till I upgraded to Mac OS Maverick.
    After giving a printing order just one order will be carried out.
    In case I have 3 printjobs I have te restart the iMac twice to carry out all the print jobs.
    I am using USB for connection.
    When I use the printer with my Windows computer (Windows 7) there is no problem at all with the required printjobs.
    I guess the driver Gutenprint v5.2.3 is the cause of the problem.
    Is there a new printerdriver available?
    Thanks in advance.
    Fred

    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/

  • MFP M476dw poor color print quality with streaking

    I bought this printer in January and only printed half a dozen or so color prints, but always has color streaks.  I have printed may 200 B&W pages and they seem OK. I ran the calibration I found in the operator interface, but doesn't make any difference. See attached original image and scan of the color print.  Yes the scan looks just like the color print.  Color cartridges all show 80% full.  B&W cartridge is 70%. scan of color print  Original ImageWhat can I do to improve this?  I really was expecting better color print quality.

  • Poor Print Quality with Switch to Mac

    I have just replaced a Windows PC with a MacBook Pro (running OSX Yosemite, Retina screen, Lightroom 5.6 & Photoshop Elements 11 installed).  Printer is an Epson Stylus PX720WD. All latest firmware, drivers etc installed.
    Problem is that the print quality using LR & PSE on the Mac is dreadful. The image looks way underexposed and there are blank white edges to dark objects against a light background.
    Printing the same image on my wife's Windows PC (running PSE11) and using the same Epson gives perfect print quality.
    The difference is evidently Mac vs Windows.  (same image, same program, same printer)
    On Mac (in the LR or PSE print menu), there are few options for paper type, print quality (DPI) etc.  (In LR I only see the option to toggle '240 ppp' on or off)
    Whereas in Windows I get multiple options for paper type and print resolution (up to 720 dpi).
    Ultimately, my processing workflow is LR on Mac, and I want to get them playing nice with the printing (rather than being obliged to export my finished images to another Window PC for printing).
    Any help or suggestions on how to resolve are very much appreciated

    All adjustments to arrive at the final image (to be printed) are on the Mac with LR.
    With LR I have tried both 'Managed by Printer' and 'Adobe RGB'  (in the 'Colour Management' section.  If I select 'Others' (Instead of the default Managed by Printer) I get a long list of options : Adobe RGB, Display, and a long list of various Nikon & Epson alternatives. So far I have only tried the Adobe RGB and it was actually worse).
    In PSE I leave it as Managed by Printer.  But get the very different menu options in Mac vs Win (strange!).
    The monitor on the Win PC is low quality but the image looks ok (tone, colour).  And the printed image looks perfect - exactly as it was finished on the Mac.

  • I am unable to get beyond the "sync with iTunes" splash page after connecting my iPhone; every tab is grey. What gives?

    I am unable to get beyond the "sync with iTunes" splash page after connecting my iPhone; every tab is grey. What gives?

    Is the computer the one the device normally syncs with?
    If not, sync with the computer it normally syncs with.
    If it is, place the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore.

  • Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1

    Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1
    I can print anything else from either the Desktop or Start but not a PDF.  No error message but just does not print.
    Update: down loaded Adobe Reader which runs on the desktop so when I read a PDF file it now runs on the desktop and I can print it.

  • Unable to activate software after upgrading to Windows 8

    This post contains one question.
    I am unable to activate my Creative Cloud products after upgrading to Windows 8. I have used the Chat service on three separate occasions, and after the employee asks me for my e-mail and order number, determines that they are unable to provide me the instructions necessary to license or activate the software. So I must be forwarded to a special team to help me resolve this problem. During the transfer, I get cut off -- each time.
    On Windows 7, I deactivated my Creative Cloud membership through Photoshop.
    I upgraded to Windows 8, installing all security updates and restarting the system several times.
    Now that all updates are installed, I want to re-activate my Adobe products -- but am unable to find the commands to do so.
    I have logged in to Adobe Application manager, using the e-mail address and password that Adobe has in the system for my account.
    How do I activate my Adobe products?

    Does the solution provided by customer 'kipedias' in this post http://forums.adobe.com/message/4903206#4923341 resolve the issue?

    After upgrading to windows 7, HP CP1215 only prints in black and white !! any Idea any one??
    Connected to a Dell 1525 laptop via usb cable

    Unplug the printer, and uninstall it. Then download the Windows 7 CP1215 plug and play driver package from www.hp.com. Install the printer using that package.

  • Unable to connect to Oracle db v 9.2.0.1.0 after upgrading to Windows 2003

    Hello, I am working on a java enterprise application that accesses Oracle DB version 9.2.0.1.0. It was working until I upgraded the operating system from Windows 2000 server to Windows 2003 server enterprise edition. the db connection is lost sometimes when accessing the db for long time so i have to close the session and open a new one. also the batch file (wfjvlsnr.bat) that resides under (Oracle_Home\ora92\wf\admin) can not connect to the db with the user name (owf_mgr) after upgrading to Windows 2003 although it was working on Windows 2000 server....
    Could you sujjest any solution for this problem?
    Thanks....

    Are you talking about upgrading the client operating system? Or the server operating system? The first version of the Oracle database that was supported on Windows 2003 was 9.2.0.3, so if you upgraded the server operating system, you'll need to apply an appropriate database patchset.
