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?

Changing the default job properties of the driver to "High 1200dpi" resets the co-ordinates in the print preview pane to be based on a 1200 dpi canvas as expected.

The very blue output has been solved by changing the driver to the one on the ftp site (despite older dates). However the output is still blue-tinged. Is there are way to mess with the RGB settings on output only, either in the OS/2 printer driver or within PMView?

I see settings for Natural Color vs. Vivid Color on the color tab in the Lexmark driver, and also brightness and contrast settings but not an RGB-type set of sliders.

Cheers,
Russell
