Re: drivers on OSX?

It's the app not the OS.
Use foxit reader to print instead of Adobe.
Adobe thinks black is composite black.
Adobe is aware and really does not give a hoot.
You can also just change the print to Greyscale in the driver so it uses only black but that won't help mixed jobs.

Re: drivers on OSX?

so you are not using model specific drivers?
find your driver here---> drivers

you run the image, run the installer in the driver folder so it will put the drivers in your library (not used to install directly)
then add the printer but select the correct driver from the "other" dropdown.
btw, it it set to autocolor? there might be a way to play with the sensitivity of it i just cant recall now.

let us know!

Re: drivers on OSX?

when you first start to load the printer, one of the screens asks for the driver, usually it starts with "generic PS driver" hit the dropdown and select "other software" and a whole list of potential drivers comes up. choose the "installed" konica driver from the list. if it didnt install it to the library try the whole process over.

watch this video, but i would use IP protocol instead of hp jetdirect. YMMV

dont forget to use CUPS to finalize default settings as it normally sets duplex by default. this can be annoying to users that have to click 1 sided all the time.
