Default fast films not printing

Hi,its me again, I installe photoshop and fast films on my other computer and fast films is up and running. I just ran a cmyk routine and it did the seperations. When i get ready to print just the Cyan, but it never prints. The printer only ejects the paper but doesn't print. Do i still need a rip software if i already adjusted the halftone dot? Or just a different printer, because im using one of those cheap walmart printers . Its an Hp (3 in 1/scan/copy/print)I would really apreciate it-Thanks-Gio

Its not FF causing the issues it is your printer. You need a RIP in order to print halftones. Ghostrip I beleive is a freeware rip prog that should work.

Might be a good idea to look for a good priced epson R1800.

Would an Epson Stylus Photo 1280 Silver do the job?

You will need to use a Postscript printer or get a RIP program/software in order to print halftones. FF separations will always need to print halftones unless you use it to separate solid color designs.
I dont know anything about the Epson Stylus Photo 1280 so i cannot advise on that one
