Re: Spyder Print - Mac OS X Mountain Lion and target printing

2012-12-23 by khazaril

I thought it was only fair to update folks on this.

I believe I have sorted out the issue and the source of the problem was the printer installation.

It's an HP Photosmart 7510. It has 2 paper trays and last night I could not get it to print from the 4x6 photo tray unless I printed right from an iPhone.

I uninstalled the printer and added it again, still the same. I was printing from Lightroom having made a 9 sheet profile and things were just not right with the colour and still no photo tray. Grrr :)

Then I made the discovery, in Lightroom print settings I clicked the printer drop down to show the printer I was using and my printer was listed followed by the words AirPrint. This raised the warning so I opened up OSX Printer Settings and clicked add printer and sure enough there was a second choice - the full printer!!

This version has completely different drivers and options. Now I can profile it correctly :)

So to close, if you are dealing with an AirPrint capable printer you will need to have two versions of it installed for it to work correctly.

Happy Christmas - I hope Santa brings more ink and paper lol.
