Hello, I'm having trouble printing. The colors are a bit off. I was told by someone that if I programmed my driver to use postscript, it might solve the problem. How can I do that (via the Printers & Fax window)?

What is the make and model of your printer?

Postscript wont do much for your colour reproduction. Postscript is a Page Description Language primary designed for use with laser printers. The printer has to be capable of interpreting postscript commands for you to use it. You will always get a mismatch between what what you see on your screen and what you see from the printer. That is because the screen uses RGB (Red, Green, Blue). Printers use CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) RGB is and additive system, CMYK is a subtractive system. There will always be some mismatch when translating between the two. If you really want an exact colour match between screen and printer you need to be using the Panatone colour matching system. This is what publishers use on their glossy magazines. For that you need software that can us panatone colours. http://www.pantone.com/pages/panton... Stuart

The printer is a multi-purpose xerox on the network. Thanks for the advice but I know postscript will help. We had the same problem with colors not being right for all computers in the office (in exactly the same way). On all the computers, in faxes and printers, there are two version of the xerox driver: Xerox WorkCenter Pro C2128 and Auto Xerox WorkCenter Pro C2128. Some of the computer have "ps" after the "auto" driver (which I'm told stands for postscript). By switching those ones to default, the color mismatch problem is solved. But not all computers have the "ps" (like mine), so it would be extraordinarily helpful (and appreciated) if someone could guide me through how to make my print driver postscript.

As Stuart has stated, the printer needs to have the ability to accept Postscript commands. From you description it sounds like that printer doesn't. I have a Konica Minolta color laser printer and the software that came with the printer has the ability to adjust the colors. This is a network capable printer. This function is a part of the driver package.

Thanks, but I know it has the ability to accept Postscript commands. As I said in one of my previous posts, I was able to fix the color problem by using a driver that was set to use postscript. I even had a technician in who said it accepts postscript. Can I [i]please[/i] get an answer to my question? I'm not interested in any work-arounds. I just want to know how to configure my print driver to use postscript.

You DIDN'T say that in one of your previous posts. http://www.athleticaid.com/yaquinap... http://www.support.xerox.com/go/res... http://www.support.xerox.com/SRVS/C...
