Dark green prints from Gimp on Fedora 11 on R2880

Post by teve »

Hi,
I have reinstalled my computer since I last printed with Turboprint, and now the prints are too green and dark. On fedora 10 I got the correct colors.

I am printing from Gimp. I have tried the Gutenprint R2880 driver, and this is a lot better in color (but verry slow).

I have tried to adjust brightness and contrast to fix the darkness issue, but increasing brughtness does not have any visible effect (tried up to 160%), and reducing contrast got better details in dark areas, but the black parts got greyish.

My screen is color managed, and the Gutenprint output is verry close to the screen, so I suspect this to be a problem with turboprint.

Could you please help getting the correct output ?

Regards,
Terje

Hello teve,

please check if all sliders (color correction, ink usage, etc) in TurboPrint settings are set to default levels. Sometimes these values are set to strange values initially. And of course the paper selection in the settings must match to the paper you are printing on.

Hi,
I have checked all sliders, and they are all in their default positions, and the paper type is correct (Epson Premium Glossy).

It is the exact same setup as I used before I reinstalled fedora, I havent printed anything for a couple of months, so the first time I tried printing from Fedora 11 it gets too dark and green/cyan.

In fedora 10 everything worked perfect, and the prints I did then looks great. Thats whats bugs me, I cant find any difference. I even tried to go back to version 2.10-1 which is the version I used when it worked, but that didnt help either.

Regards,
Terje

Please post the log file

/var/log/turboprint/print.log

after you gut a dark green print (last section starting from "#### New print job...") so that I can check the driver settings.

Hello,

all the settings look correct - media type is setting to "Epson Premium Glossy", quality to "Super" which should give good quality on glossy paper.

Which Linux distribution & version do you have?
From which application(s) did the problem occur?

Please check if a test page from TurboPrint Control Center -> Toolbox -> "Test Page" -> "Demo page A4" looks okay. If not, please describe what is wrong or - if possible - send a scan or digicam photo of the page to mail at zedonet dot de.
