I have this printer and when I print picture's from my Acer laptop the colors is always off. What I can do to get the colors the same on both devices?

Its probably the type of screen you have. You probably have what's called a "TN" and it basically means it's not going to be true to color whatsoever. You can tell if you have one by moving your screen and seeing if the colors get all weird or the screen looks gray. I started a blog and started taking product photography and I had to get an entirely new laptop because the way colors displayed on my computer were so different from what it actually looked like.

I print pictures from 4 different computers and all have the same quality(good). I would look at the printer settings on your computer. Settings should be set to pitures and the quality should be set to best. Also make sure the type paper used it set to the type paper you are using.

I've not found a way to do anything except greyscale. Look in "Properties" and see if it's possible with your printer. I think that unless you're printing with greyscale, you are using black.

It prints only in black and white - not color. I think :-) I am very happy with mine, if that's any help. FAST and efficient.

Try opening the printer settings from the computer. Also try the settings from the printer itself. Maybe try shutting it off and on.

Just tested them all out on my inkjet printer/copier. In a color copy all the colors show up but the yellow is very light. Using the black setting I only see faint purple and can just make out the green, blue and blue. I guess I would say that if you want it to show up on color and black copies, use the purple. Hope this helps you.

If the black is not empty, it will print in black even with one of the colors is empty. It seems all ink is expensive. Sell the printer cheap, and make your money off the ink.

If I'm correct the Acer C7 is a chromebook, right? I dont think you can install printer drivers on chromebooks but it is possible to print wirelessly using Google Cloud Print from your chromebook. I have tried this a few times from my Android phone. Check the FAQs at Epson to see how to set this up. http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=194088&infoType=FAQs

I never had a problem with photos being dark or distorted. I'm sure anything I can suggest like cleaning and aligning the ink cartridges have already been done with HP. I totally gave mine away because HP was no help with issues I ever had and they totally ditched me after the warranty time was over. From a die-hard HP consumer = save yourself a headache, buy a Brother. Sorry I couldn't help you with your question, good luck to you.

Hi Marion:You can try changing your color saturation settings in your printer properties. You can also reduce the resolution sometimes helps.

Have you tried going into the printer settings and changed them to "Black and White"?

Talk the cartage out " black & color " and reinstall again and see if the ink levels are displayed and where the levels are shown . Make sure that the printer window is set on photo print / copy's in color not black n white . I am not fully educated on this printer , check the instructions to make sure you / me are doing it correctly. I hope this helps ..

I have printed both color and black and white. I find both to be of quality. I have found no streaks in color prints. I have printed return address stick-on with no problems and the prints in all cases were clear. I was using a NEC 4650 color laser proir to this printer and it is superior to the ricoh but there is a large cost difference.

You may be printing in graycale mode (Under quick set up Tab, and Main Tab). There is also a sepia setting under Effects Tab. Unclick all these settings. Ask yourself, why aren't all these settings on one Tab?

My Acer Aspire One does the blinking purple/pink thing too, but it's not just the border, the content color changes as well, it's incredibly annoying. Also occurs on other programs besides browser, but not control panel windows.

Set it to print to Black and White print as a default. It is probable pulling from all the colors. If you are printing web pages, then they come out gray when all the colors are used.
