Bluetooth and Epson PictureMate

I was wondering if anyone has had a chance to see if the Epson Picture Mate printer worked on a Mac using Bluetooth. I have purchased a new Picture Mate and would like to know your experience using one of these with Bluetooth prior to making the investment for their Bluetooth adapter.
OS 10.4.7, BowerBook 15", 1.25 Mgz, Bluetooth with Epson PictureMate Deluxe
Thank you,

The Picture Mate works just fine on a M ..
Works very well too.

  • Epson PictureMate and LR - colors are way off

    Have the original 'toaster' PictureMate on Vista. The drivers are built-in and Epson's site doesn't have Vista-centric drivers for it, so I am good there I guess.
    In the LR Print module I am able to choose the printer and adjust the properties of the printer through the printer driver/windows dialog boxes but cannot see where to turn off color-management. Leaving LR with 'let printer manage colors' just gives me muted, gray colors.
    If I use LR to choose a profile just brings up an empty dialog box... so obviously there are not any profiles loaded with the driver?
    Looked online for Profiles and couldn't find any.
    Does anyone have any idea on how to disable printer managed colors OR how to get a profile for the PictureMate series?
    Resorted to exporting and printing from Windows Photo Gallery which works, but extra steps...

    Have you removed the print cartridges and cleaned the contacts both on the catridges and were they sit i the printer with a lint free cloth and some bottled water? If you have and that does not help the issue it would be time to upgrade that printer.

  • Epson PictureMate Shows "Stopped" After Last Java and Security Updates

    Hi,
    After installing the following updates ("Final Cut Pro Update" (5.1.3), "Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 5" (5.0), "Security Update 2007-002 (PowerPC)" (1.0), "Security Update 2007-001" (1.0) and "Daylight Saving Time Update" (1.0)). My Epson PictureMate started showing the dreaded "Printer Stopped" issue noted y many other on many other printers.
    I've tried the Printer Setup Utility "reset printing system", removing and adding back the printer etc. The Epson Photo 820 still works fine. The PictureMate will also work fine from any other account. The account I'm using it in is not an admin acocunt, but a Standard account. The other family accounts can also use the printer, so the issue is local to my 1 main user.
    I've downloaded and tried the "PSR" utility from www.fixamac.com. The utility doesn't find anything wrong, but it does complain about CUPS permissions (as did Apple's Disk Utility). I'm thinking the resetting of the printer system deletes a number of directories and when they are recreated they seem to come back with permissions the system (and PSR) doesn't like. Both utilities repair and don't find the issues again, but no joy on the printing.
    I've also dumped the preferences with no change.
    Since other users can print fine, I'm assuming CUPS and the printer drivers are OK. Any idea what other secret files in my User folder could be messed up and affecting the single printer?
    Thanks in advance.

    Did you also remove your cache folders?

  • Epson PictureMate Deluxe and Mavericks

    Mid-2009 Intel Mac recently reformatted with a clean new Mavericks from a USB based installer does not show Epson PictureMate Drivers available either in the Printer System Preferences or in Software Update.  This installation of Mavericks has been troublesome from the start, and this is yet another in a long line of issues.  (Finder disappearing and restarting, Safari crashing, etc...).  This is the THIRD reinstallation of Mavericks and it looks to be more stable, but the Printer Drivers are missing.  Oddly, in one of my previous attempts to isntall Mavericks, the Printer installation process worked perfectly.
    Also, my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro which was gracefully upgraded from a Mountain Lion (10.8) has been bullet proof and rock solid.
    Any idea how I can jiggle this iMac to recognize it needs to download and install the Epson print drivers to make the PictureMate work?

    I resolved this myself by connecting the printer to a USB port, then running a reinstallation of Mavericks over the existing installation.  This time the software was properly installed, and its newer version properly showed up in the Software update.

  • Epson PictureMate and AE

    I'm trying to get my Epson PictureMate to print with the AE and also have tried connecting directly via usb connection to our iMAC/G5. Print Setup Utility (OSX 10.4.11) finds the printer and then I select "Epson" but then I get a list of Epson "gimp" drivers for Epson CL/EM/MC/MJ/PM/Stylus. Does anybody have any idea which driver to select?

    I resolved this myself by connecting the printer to a USB port, then running a reinstallation of Mavericks over the existing installation.  This time the software was properly installed, and its newer version properly showed up in the Software update.

  • ILife won't Print to Epson PictureMate

  • Printing Problem With Epson PictureMate PM240

    I use an Epson PictureMate PM240 to print 4x6 proofs from negatives and slides scanned using a Nikon Coolscan V ED. So far, even without calibration, the prints I get using Photoshop Elements 5 (and previously 3.0) have been good enough. I understand that the PictureMate is not exactly a pro printer, but I like its small size and output for what I need it for.
    I recently loaded Lightroom 1.1 for a 30 day trial. I like the idea of getting DNG files from Vuescan for a touch of processing in lightroom without having to save the files. I also love the user interface and workflow. However, for some reason, I cannot get a decent print to the PictureMate from Lightroom. I can use the same DNG file in PSE 5.0 and get a print close to what I see on my monitor. I can actually use the same file and print it directly off the PictureMate (by inserting the memory card into the PictureMate media reader) and get prints much closer to my monitor than from Lightroom. I tried for days and wasted lots of paper but I cannot get Lightroom to print like PSE/Photoshop/PictureMate(direct).
    Is this the case where Lightroom needs a special printer profile? I don't have any for the PictureMate and my monitor is not calibrated. Still, I cannot understand why I can get good prints from PSE and (Photoshop CS3, at least the trial beta version) but not Lightroom. You would think the printing would be the same in Lightroom and Photosho/PSE as they are from the same company.
    Any ideas?

    Boy Patrick, no response at all after 2 days... I'll chime in here.
    Printing to this printer from lightroom (LR) probably will not work. To print from LR you need have a printer that will allow the application to control the color management. The PM240 does not have this capability. You are probably wondering why you cannot let the printer manage the colors just like the other apps you mention. The reason being that the operating color space of LR is the very large ProPhotoRGB, and your printer is more than likely expecting a sRGB color space, a very common yet smaller color space. Reading a ProPhotoRGB image as if it is a sRGB will result in the dark muddy image that you see complained about in this forum very often.
    If you want to use this printer and use LR to manage your images. After doing any editing that you like in LR. Export the images in sRGB format and load them onto a memory card. Then print directly from the card, a neat feature of your printer.
    Good Luck.

  • Printer Setup for Aperture and Epson R1800

    After installing the upgrade to 1.5, something went wrong with my printer setup for both my R1800 and my PictureMate Deluxe.
    I've done the following:
    Reset the printer system.
    Reinstalled the Drivers
    Attempted to Print from Aperture using about 30 + combinations of settings.
    I'm still getting colors that are off and overall dark photos.
    Best Setting appears to be
    Printer Settings
    Print Settings
    Media Type: Premium Glossy Photo Paper
    Color: Color
    Mode: Advanced (Photo, High Speed, Finest Detail, Off)
    Color Management
    Off (No Color Adjustment)
    ColorSync Profile: SPR1800 PrmGlsy Photo.icc
    Black Point Compensation = Checked
    Gamma 1.10
    The resulting pictures appear to be about 1 f-stop or so underexposed and the colors are off (I'm color blind, so I can't say exactly how). I know that it is the setup of the printer settings. If I print the same pictures from Nikon Capture on my Windows computer, the print is perfect. I prefer to use Aperture for my photo work.
    Epson doesn't have Aperture and doesn't understand all of the settings. The Apple Care support tech stated that he is not qualified to answer and said to call back when the Aperture team is working. I've got a ton of Christmas gifts to print out!
    Assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -William

    william:
    you don't state in your original posting whether or not you've calibrated your monitors, especially to a 2.2 Gamma. in order to get the most accurate screen->print matching you have to hardware calibrate your monitors. this is by far the single most significant improvement i've made in my workflow. prior to calibration my monitors were set to a gamma of 1.8 which is much brighter than 2.2 and this causes you to NOT correct your images with the additional exposure required for proper printing. my prints were always too dark prior to calibration.
    the spyder 2 from color vision is an excellent choice.

  • How do I get accurate color when printing from PS6 to an Epson PictureMate printer?

    I am trying to print from Photoshop CS6 to an Epson PictureMate color printer and an Epson PictureMate 225 printer.  In both cases I want to let Photoshop manage color.  I am finding no color profile for Epson in the list of profiles provided by Photoshop.  The best I can do is choose “display” as my profile.  Still my color prints do not match what I see on my screen in Photoshop. They are flat and washed out.   How can I obtain print profiles for my Epson Printers to be used with Photoshop 6?

    Epson would have to provide generic profiles. Check their website. Other than that simply let the printer (driver) manage things and only work in sRGB with monitor calibration. Most printer drivers for consumer devices are built around that assumption and will produce reasonably good results using their driver's logic.

  • Epson Picturemate Sizing

    Go easy on me guys, I'm new to Macs. I'm trying to print from iPhoto to my Epson Picturemate. I'm getting 1/4 of the picture on the 4x6 paper. How do I force iPhoto to resize the photo for 4x6 paper? Thanks in advance!

    shumes:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. To crop a photo to 4x6 in iPhoto bring it up in the edit window (double clicking on the photo is the default). Then in the edit window select 4x6 in the Constrain menu. A portion of the image will be whited out so to speak. If you want portrait go back to the Constrain menu and select Portrait at the bottom. Now you can drag the cursor over that part of the image you want to print and the rest will show pale. Now click on the crop button at the bottom and then on the Done button. Next follow these steps:
    Steps for printing 4 x 6 prints from iPhoto:
    1 - crop the photo to 4 x 6 beforehand in iPhoto.
    2 - in Page Setup select your printer, proper page orientation and 4x6 or 4x6 borderless
    3 - click once on the picture you want to print to make sure it's selected.
    4 - now click on the Print button in iPhoto.
    5 - in the iPhoto print window, select your printer again, select Style = "Standard Prints", Size= 4x6 and click on One photo per page.
    6 - click on the Print button.
    That should get you the 4x6 on the paper. I use an Epson R200 and am assuming the Picturemate would the same workflow. Good luck.

  • HT4356 Can't print with iPhone 4 s and epson nx430

    I have an epson nx 430 printer. Ii use to be able to print with AirPrint using my iPhone 4 s but now I get no AirPrint found. I turned off bluetooth and now im able to print using epson iprint application, still i cant print using airprint!!Help please!

    Hello, my name is Syd and I work for Epson America.
    For Airprint to work correcly, please make sure the following steps are done.
    1. The printer is connected to the same wireless network as your iPhone and computer.
    2. On your computer, run Download Navigator. This should have been installed during initial setup in the Epson folder inside your Applications folder.
    3. Run all firmware updates. It is necessary to have the newest firmware for AirPrint to be enabled on your printer.
    4. Restart the printer.
    5. On your IOS device when printing, click the appropriate icon (depending on app) and select printer. Please wait if the printer name does not show immediately, as interference may cause a delay in the name appearing.
    6. Tap print.
    If this does not resolve the issue or you would like a walk through of the procedure, please contact Epson tech support at 562-276-4382 and they would be happy with further assistance.

  • My problem is that after printing the first photo or picture, when I come to print a second, both the Colour Management and Epson Colour Controls are greyed out and showing No Colour Management

    I have recently purchased a Mac computer (updated to Maverick) to go with my Epson Stylus Photo RX500 printer which has given excellent service with my old Windows computer. However, when trying to print pictures or photos via Photoshop Elements 11, the best results I can get are using the Colour Management and Epson Colour controls in the printing options box.
    My problem is that after printing the first photo or picture, when I come to print a second, both the Colour Management and Epson Colour Controls are greyed out and showing No Colour Management, The only way I can reset the controls is to shut down the printer and computer and restart.
    Could there may be a setting somewhere that I need to adjust please?  I have been in touch with Epson and they say that the Epson Colour controls are part of the Photoshop Elements software but a post on the Adobe forum brought no results and I am unable to contact Adobe.
    <Edited by Host>

    Hello Garry. Thanks for the reply. I guess I should have used a different title from "How do I post a question?" That should come after trying to resolved the colour settings first. However, to answer your question, after experimenting with all the different settings in Photoshop Elements and Epson software, I now start with PSE11 Colour settings then click "no colour management" then after clicking Print, I choose "More Options/Colour Management/Colour Handling/Printer Manages Colour" then I choose "Page Setup/Layout/Colour Matching" which then shows Epson Colour Controls but I also choose "Layout/Colour Management" which then shows "Colour Controls/Mode" I then of course choose an Epson printer profile depending on the paper I am using. I get good results but as I said, the Colour Matching and Colour Controls are then greyed out. Hope that makes sense.

  • Addressbook Bluetooth and iSync - Get numbers off phone to AB

    Greetings,
    There were many topics on this after a search but I couldn't find an answer I could understand. Forgive me if I am a little slow.
    I plan to buy the iPhone here in the next few days. My old Motorola RAZR V3 has bluetooth and works flawless by syncing AB with the phone by using iSync. However, none of the phone numbers from my phone (Which weren't in AB before) end up in my AB. Am I doing something wrong here?
    I never used any type of sync before since I didn't need a media device but now I guess I do? Apparently iPhone has a new built in SIM card and I can't transfer my numbers if I don't do this?
    Thanks.. Oh... What is really the difference between iSync and the Sync in addressbook? Everytime I click the bluetooth icon in AB it asks to pair then nothing happens?
    //Cheers

    That happens if you've got your contacts stored on your SIM card in the RAZR. Transfer them to your phone, then they'll magically appear in address book. I've found as well that for some reason the bluetooth pairing in address book doesn't do much, iSync does though.

  • TS3048 Bluetooth and USB ports aren't working can't connect mouse or keyboard.

    Bluetooth and USB ports aren't working, so am unable to use Imac past turning it on. There's no way to connect mouse or keyboard, it started right after a software update for Maverick (OS X bash Update 1.0 – OS X Mavericks), bluetooth symbol not showing in the task bar at all.    

    Hi SBrwn,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    The symptom you're describing can be frustrating to troubleshoot as our options are limited. I do suggest resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) if you have not already. This step can help you regain use of USB and Bluetooth.
    Follow these steps to reset the SMC on your iMac:
    Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
    Shut down the computer. [by holding down the power button]
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    You can find these steps and more information at this link:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    All the best,
    Jeremy
