Color problem when printing

[brucelime]

Today when I tried to reprint a picture that I printed without any problem two weeks ago, I got an output that is too dark with a color shift. It looks like the no color adjustement in the print dialog is not working. I did a couple of test and I have the same output selecting ColorSync or No color Adjustment in the Color management section of the print dialog.

I don't have this problem when I print from Photoshop CS3.

The only thing that changed between the time iI first printed this image and today is that I upgraded my system to OSX 1'.5.5. Is it possible that there is a bug between the last version of the system and LR2?

I'm not a Mac guy, but I know there have been some OS/printer driver interaction issues in the recent past, particularly with the first Leopard drop.

I'll yield the floor to the Mac folks .....

It may be a 64 bit issue. LR2 is 64 bit by default now, and your print driver might not be.
Right (or ctrl) click on the application icon and tick the open in 32 bit mode box. Start Lightroom and see how you get on.

Sean, my application is already in 32 bit mode.

Francoise,

I had problems when I upgraded from 1'.4.11 to 1'.5. My Epson 21'' wouldn't bee seen by the computer. I went to the Epson site and downloaded the latest driver, which they say is on the install dvd, and it then worked. I haven't tried it too much with LR yet but will do some tests tonight.

I have the latest driver and the color are fine for Photoshop CS3 but they are much darker with LR2. It is like the "no color adjustement" setting is not working in LR2 with 1'.5.5. I did a test with colorsync checked instead of No Color Adjustment and the result are similar.
