So I have been attempting to use Argyllcms on the command line to profile my printer paper.ĭisclaimer : I am not in any way an expert. I went further to ensure consistent prints and specified more printer options obtained from: lpoptions -p printer_name -l Lp is the printer command from Apple’s Cups suite. The option “-o cm-calibration=1”, printing the target (target.ps) in calibration mode to the default printer with default cups settings, bypassing gnome-colour-center device colour profiles gave me: lp -o cm-calibration=1 target.ps (Reported: launchpad), but this led to my biggest breakthrough with the comment by Till Kamppeter on the bug report. When using Ubuntu 18.04.4LTS I noticed several bugs in Settings (gnome-control-center), notoably that the on / off button in Devices>Device Color Profiles does nothing. Without fail they all instruct the user to print the target without any icc or driver colour correction, but none of them tell you how. There are many guides to using the Argyllcms software on the internet and Graeme Gill’s help documentation is detailed, but everything I have read falls short on one major point. I picked up a Gretag-Macbeth (now X-Rite): i1pro spectrometer second hand and quickly set up my monitor using the Displa圜al software, but printers seem far more complex. I am using cheap paper, cheap ink and refillable cartridges, so I accept quality will not be perfect but I get far superior results printing from Windows XP in a VitualBox machine. The default colour settings gave dark, colour shifted prints. I do not know how to use a windows driver and turn it into magic linux juice either.Īs a photography enthusiast I have struggled with printing on my old Epson Stylus Photo R360 inkjet printer since moving to Ubuntu linux. What seems to be left is to go into the printer settings and manually adjust each color.which seems extremeley tedious and prone to human error (inaccuracies). My brights reds are purple and my yellows are brown. ![]() ![]() Using the color app - figured out where the default icc file is, but can not easily edit itīlack and white prints just fine, only the colors are too dark.

Ubuntu 14.04.2 (installed 2 weeks ago) / Windows 8.1 I am relatively new to linux, and I can not for the life of me find out how to make my printer's colors work correctly on Ubuntu. My computer prints fine on windows, but in linux the colors are too dark. ![]()
