I think it's time to consider this thread "resolved", though it isn't really. I can't print a .jpg unless I "disguise" it by converting to .pdf or embedding it in a WP file, but however much I try to "tweak" the settings, everything prints much too dark. My shredder is getting indigestion. ;-)...

Thanks for the suggestion PeterBJ, but I don't think it's going to help because it's primarily about ink levels. I don't have any indication of ink levels either, but with the old HP printer, it would start printing with a pink (or magenta?) cast when the ink was running low. The driver I found...

Thanks for all that everyone. Quite a lot there to work through, and an unexpectedly busy week, hence the delay in getting back to you. It does seem that my OS is the problem. They've made too many changes to this version, seemingly for the sake of change itself, and I had to struggle with it...

Sorry. Didn't mean to overlook your questions. Too much going on right now, and the weekend belongs to family, so I won't be on-line much, if at all, until about Tuesday. I chose the printer specifically because it's not wireless capable, but connects through a USB lead. Some might say it's not...

No. Thanks for trying, but it still refuses to print a .jpg. Anything else, but not that. It has to be intentional on the part of the manufacturer, but why would they do such a thing as to selectively block the most used image format? It doesn't make sense. I've tried searching for a manual...

Thank you both for your input, and apologies for the delay in getting back to you. Busy couple of days. I've changed the colour setting to CYMK, so perhaps that will improve things, but I'm running out of photo paper now, so will have to wait until Tuesday to continue. I still don't understand...

New Pixma MG2550S delivered yesterday. Text and WP files print properly. If I try to print a .jpg (photo) the printer ignores it. If I embed the image in a document file, it will print it, but it's much too dark. Other image formats (.png for example) will print, but again they're much too...
