Title: P900 issue
Post by: KeithR on November 07, 2023, 04:14:30 pm
I recently had an issue with my computer. I've since had it recover but found myself missing a few items which I've been able to mostly recover. However, I went to print an image out of LR and noticed that something wasn't right. I did a soft proof and all looked fine. I had double checked my printer settings and all was fine. Made a nozzle check and all was perfect. When I hit print, the printer started and made a print. BUT it made a B&W print, not the color one that I had soft proofed that I was expecting. I had picked the correct Canson profile for the paper I was using (Baryta), the soft proof was correct but, as I stated the print came out B&W. I had made my own profile, but after the computer issue that I mentioned, ALL my homemade profiles were gone, so that is why I selected the canned profiles. I don't know what is going on with this.

Uou don't perhaps accidentally have Advanced B&W selected in the printer dialog box?

I'll double-check. I'm sure it is set to color (on the P900) since I do all my B&W through Piezography on a P800.
I'm wondering if (and how easy it is) I will need to uninstall then reinstall the P900.

An update: It was an id10-t error.

Ha, that's a good one. Had to look it up though.
