Guest p.mc Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Hi Posted earlier but got no takers. I researched google and it seems a few peeps have had this problem when trying to install a printer, obviously my research was fruitless, so as a last ditch attemp i'm hoping someone may have had the same problem and fixed it, hopefully they could help me. Excuse the muti and Xposts, I'm at mt wits end with this one. -- Regards p.mc

It could be a corrupted file. It could be that you are using an input profile when you must use an output profile. You really ought to tell more about how you are trying to print. Jim

Cross-post to TWO or at most THREE newsgroups, especially if you are new to Usenet. NEVER multipost to related newsgroups; it clogs up the newsgroup system (example, if you CROSS-POST then if a reader looks at your post in ONE of the cross-posted newsgroups, then that reader's newsreader program will mark that post as read in ALL of the cross-posted newsgroups, eliminating duplication of effort. It will also make ANY replies to the post in ALL of the cross-posted newsgroups. MULTI-POSTING does NOT mark duplicates of a read post as read, and fragments the responses into mutually exclusive threads - that helps no one. If you are asking a question, post at least enough information explain the problem (including EXACT error messaes, if any) and to describe any corrective measures you have tried (including the results, if any.) It is useless to discribe earlier posts if you got no response. No one knows what you are talking about. Start a new thread IF YOU HAVE WAITED A REASONABLE TIME for a response (two day, say, for an active technical support newsgroup like microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics.) You are starting from scratch, and you have not really asked a question. Nor described the problem. Nor described what you have done to solve the problem, including the results of such attempts. IF your question is something like "My color printer will not print photographs with the correct color hues. When I try to change the color profile I get this error message [EXACT ERROR MESSAGE]. My printer is [brand] [Model] [type printer] [age] . How can I fix this problem?", THEN say so. Probably in a different newsgroup because non of the six listed in the Newsgroups line of your post. Microsoft does not make printers, nor printer drivers. Perhaps you should FIRST contact customer support at the manufacturer web site for your computer. There is where specific knowledge about YOUR printer can be found, NOT in ANY of the newsgroups you posted. IF there happens to be a problem of compatibility between YOUR printer (whatever it is) and Windows XP, then Microsoft and the computer manufacturer will, or will already have, worked out a solution. Until you get the preliminaries squared away, you can only get guesses, but you can make guess yourself, right B^) Phil Weldon "p.mc" <p@mc.com> wrote in message news:O2KrX3JyHHA.1212@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... | Hi | | Posted earlier but got no takers.

I would start by checking them out. I also wonder why you would ask Samsung for an update on an Epson printer. If this turns out to be a known bug with the driver for this printer then you might be better off retiring it instead of spending countless hours in attempt to fix what you cannot possibly fix.

Guest Chuck Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Re: invalid color profile "Is there a solution" Since the error is a bad color profile on one computer, and the problem does not occur on others-- What about getting a copy of the color profiles from one of them, and try replacing those on the offending computer? Take care to preserve the originals by copying them to another directory you create.. These are common locations for the files. A printer driver may have added a subdirectory unique to the printer mfr. C:\WINDOWS\system32\color C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color *.icc and *.icm are the common search keys for color profiles/correction files "p.mc" <p@mc.com> wrote in message news:uEzbPfYyHHA.4276@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > (Phil wrote) > > > Microsoft does not make printers, nor printer > > drivers.
