PMView 2000/Lexmark Z51/OS2 prints bluish - Printing from PMView 2000 in OS2 Options

[Guest_Russell Kneebone_*]

Pictures taken on a Canon A70 (3.2 MP - 2048 x 1536) sent to Lexmark Z51 with resolution 600dpi and customer size set to 4608 x 6144 print fine on Letter paper, but same pictures printed with resolution set to 1200dpi print very blue. Not sure whether this is Lexmark driver issue, OS/2 bitmap size issue, PMView 200 issue or mixture.

Same pictures printed "Fit resolution" (i.e. crossways on Letter paper - 4096 x 3072?) print fine in either 600dpi and 1200dpi; actually there is no discernible difference in the output!

Has anyone else come across this issue?

This could be either a printer driver or an OS2.INI driver setting issue.

The first and easiest thing to try is to erase the PMView-specific settings for the printer. For PMView 2000 and older versions you'll need IniMaint or UniMaint to delete the "PMView 2.0" application "Printer/" settings from OS2.INI. PMView Pro makes this easier with an undocumented feature; just right click on the "Print" button and select "Reset".

If this does not help, then uninstall and reinstall the printer driver. Also make sure to check the IBM Device Driver repository for a newer version of the printer driver.

Thanks,
