Why does my printer get the color wrong?

I am trying to print a flyet that is dark red with yellow type, yet it prints out as green with faded yellow type. Why won't the background show up as the correct color?

What printer make and model are you using?

Why does my mac invert the color at the slightest movement?

Everytime I move my laptop slightly, it inverts the color. I've never had this problem before, nor have I dropped it. I have to keep it propped against something or it keeps doing it. Why is it doing this?

So I have done the exact same type of download on an iMac now and didn't have any trouble. I wanted to ask about something I hadn't mentioned before. I am using a gigabit Ethernet switch plugged into my DSL modem than is not gigabit. Even though I have tried on both, could this configuration be the cause? It still bugs me that it only occurs on the one Mac Book Pro with apple software update or iTunes downloads only.

Why does my MBP get the grey screen after backing up to external hard drive???

(firstly, i'm a complete moron on terminal, though i managed to unlock the external HD. i appreciate the simplicity of mac, i.e. a moron in many ways.)
for some bizarre reason, every time i copy files to the external HD, i end up with a lock on the external HD and the dreaded spinning grey screen when i restart the MBP. i've managed to get rid of the grey screen by reinstalling with the snow leopard DVD without formatting, but this is obviously not practical. am i doing something wrong??
the last time i did this, i dragged my "user" files. then i dragged my entire internal HD into a folder created in my external HD. i've done this with my powerbook and older OS without issues, but OS 10.5 and 10.6 don't seem to work without ending up with the spinning grey screen and a lock on the HD.
thanks in advance for your input. (and please keep it simple...)

no, but it's definitely not due to a corrupt external drive. this happened with two different brands of drives. the first time with a lacie, i thought my MBP hard drive was damaged, but it was determined that a reinstall was all it needed. the same thing happened with an OWC. they both work fine. there seems to be some kind of a permission problem which gets screwed up somwhere.

I have a color management problem. I have OS X v 10.5, Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, and an Epson Stylus Photo R800. I want to print images I have scanned on a Epson Perfection 1660 Photo and corrected in Photoshop and get the colors accurate.

I used the ColorSync utility to verify, and it came back with this report:

I did not know what to do next. At the bottom of the window it said to go to www.apple.com/colorsync to find a tutorial. I got a message saying that link does not work. Tried to find the tutorial by searching at apple.com, but could not seem to locate it. Does anyone know what the report above means and what I should do about it?
Also, how to find that tutorial?
Re Using RGB all the way through, When I print from Photoshop Elements, I select Adobe RGB, Photoshop Manages under "Color Handling", Relative Colometric under "Intent" and "ColorSync" i the Epson printer box. Do you mean to do something different in this sequence?

This can be the result of selecting the wrong driver. An older, unsupported laser printer will sometimes work with the generic Postscript driver.

Just purchased a office jet 6500A Plus so that I can print from my iPhone and iPad. I can print form my iPhone but my iPad 2 tells me there is no air printer available. Why does one device recognize the air printer but the other device does not?

I have the 6500A without plus and it is with a LAN cable connected with my Router.
First make sure you have the latest printer firmware installed.
Next restart the printer and the Router.
I had the same. Problem but it went away after rebooting the Router.

Hi ladwwd56,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Is it possible that you may have an Accessibility feature called "White on Black" turned on?
See page 244 of the iPhone User Guide PDF:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1539/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.p df
White on Black
Use White on Black to invert the colors on the iPhone screen, which may make it easier to read the screen. When White on Black is turned on, the screen looks like a photographic negative.
Invert the screen’s colors: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility and tap the “White on Black” switch.
If that is not the case, try restarting / resetting the iPhone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:

Why can't I get the Kodak Document Print App in the UK?

Why can't I get the Kodak Document Print App in the UK?

"Apparently it's available in the US iTunes store but not here?"
Because Kodak has chosen not to make it available there.
"Can't for the life of me understand why that should be!"
You do not have to understand it for it to be so.
You can try asking Kodak, as they make the app.

I have been having a issue with getting the colors on my monitor to match the colors fro my print lab. I now have the monitor calibrated to match the prints but when I open elements it doesn't use the same colors. If i have it use the calibrated profile by changing the color management settings, the color picker no longer shows true white or black. How do I get elements 12 to honor the new calibrated settings?

Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
It says ;
Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
Continuing...
And stops ...
Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)

Let the printer handle the colors

If I select to let the printer (Xerox Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535) handle the color management instead of Photoshop, I get good results. Otherwise the cm is done twice and I get way too much color (mostly magenta).
I'd like the same option in Acrobat. There is an option that sounds like it, but doesn't deliver the same results. How can I get that done? To test if it works, I print the same image directly from Ps(CS3) that I place into an InDesign PDF and print directly from Acrobat(9).
Thanks a lot!
Background:
Dov Isaacs of Adobe told me to let the application handle the cm but Xerox was here yesterday and they insist that the printer does the cm. Either way, I only get acceptable results if only the printer handles it.

Thanks, Mike.
So there is no option that does this only when printing, as in Ps?
I tried this:
Turned CM off in the Preferences. Then printed using "Printer handles colors" (don't know the exact term in the English version).
Result: Not the result I get from Ps when letting the Printer handle the CM. Instead I get the usual problem of too much color, too much Magenta etc.
Then I tried this (CM still off):
When printing I chose "As is (no Color Management)" instead of letting the printer handle the colors. Again, same result.
It only works from Ps so far. I don't understand why there is such a difference between the different CS3 apps when chosing and option that is supposed to let the printer hanlde the CM.
Neither Xerox nor Adobe can tell me how to solve this problem. Both say the other company's CM should be turned off and can't tell me how to turn off their own.

Why does my printe say "used supply in use/:

why does my printer say used supply in use? And I can't print anything

Pretty sure its to make sure you don't get good use out of your cartridges... basically this company trying to get 10 cents a print out of you
After 1100 prints, regardless of how much ink used, if you take it out (the genuine 85a) at this point and put it back in, say after a jam or you want to shake it, it tells you have a used cartridge, i have tested continually using this, and got 500 more prints, with an annoying nag that you cant stop from every page printed. you have to take it out because this printer is notorious for a section ink don't get too, even though there probably is over 50% of ink left in it.. you take it out and shake it and can print, hundreds and hundreds of more pages... but after the 1100 point mark, since the printer tracks statistics it goes into this "used mode" so averages of prints won't go up... im pretty sure its devious code... but what do i know.. i just wont be getting new HP printers.. they claim it can cause damage.... the heads are on the toner cartridge... if its damaged the cartridge is replaced and thats that... so their warnigs are smoke and mirrors..
