I'm struggling with this and hoping someone can help. I'm on OSX 10.7.2 (an iMac) and printing to an HP B8850 photo printer, but getting no orange tones. Here's the weirder part, when I print on regular "copy paper", everything is fine. The orange tones are only gone when I print on photo paper.
This is happing from all of my applications. I've tried colorsync and vendor matching. I've switched drivers. I deleted and completely reinstalled all the HP software. nothing is working.
Since it's happening only on the photo paper, I was thinking there was a color profile error. I opened Colorsync Utility and verified and got a "bad profile" error for all of my 8850 profiles. (I switched drivers and profiles and tried again and it said all of those were bad, too). but, colorsync can't repair them. Here's the error message...
/Library/Printers/hp/Profiles/photosmart/HP PSPro B8800-Advanced Photo Glossy.icc
Tag 'desc': Tag size is not correct.
Tag 'dmdd': Tag size is not correct.
Tag 'desc': Description tag has a bad Macintosh string.
Tag 'dmdd': Description tag has a bad Macintosh string.
Any suggestions? Would bad profiles wash out all of my orange tones? If so, is there way to fix the bad profiles? Keep in mind I've tried reinstalling everything. If not the bad profiles, could something else be doing this?
I'm losing my mind on this one. Any help would be great!
cheers,
Aaron
