I'm trying to print directly from windows explorer, right click on the jpeg and print.
I did the same thing on a Konica Minolta Bizhub C360 and the colors came out ok. Maybe not exactly like the screen, but really close. The Bizhub C360 is installed with the PS Driver.
Interesting thing: in my C5030 "Properties" interface, in the Quality Tab, I checked "Manual Color Settings", clicked the "Color Settings" button, and in the "Matching" Tab I selected "No Driver Matching". The purple from the cupon is now more like the screen (or like the print from the Minolta), but still not as good as the Minolta.
I will attach 3 files: one with the cupon than I'm trying to print, one scan of the printed cupon, and one scan of the printed cupon with "No Driver Matching" option.
If you have this printer please try to print the cupon and see the difference.
