Lexmark optra T612 color printing

[printerprobs]

Hi, I am on a Lexmark optra printer network at work. When i print an internet page it does print in color.

But when i print a jpeg pic, it prints black n white. I am using win2000.I could not find the usual color option check box that comes in printer set up properties.

So I right click on the printer and go in to the properties. There is color management tab with manual and automatic options.
And the printer features in General tab mentions "color: No" but no option anywhere to change this.


Any help appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

printerprobs,

This is not a color printer.....

Then how come it prints my web pages in color(from teh same PC)???

Whoops....my mistake.

Try this.

Click the Profiles tab.
Select a personal profile from the Personal Profiles list box.
Click Load.
Change the printer object's current document settings by clicking the appropriate tab (Paper, Setup, Graphic, Color, Fonts, Overlays, and so on) and modifying the options.

Thanks but,

There is only one printer profile in the list "Factory defaults" . I selected and loaded it. Though i have all the tab options like set up, font, Graphics,overlay but not color tab!

What about trying by creating a new profile.

Select the Profiles tab.
Click Create.
Enter a name in the Personal Profile Name field.
Click OK.

The default profile may have restrictions setup by your system admin.

Creating a new profile also doesn't get the color tab.

I guess i'll give up and if i get desperate i might ask the IT Staff.

Thanks for trying.

You might try the printer forum or the win2000 forum as this does not sound like a hardware problem.
