Epson c82 prints at 80% reduction

hello, i haven epson c82 that prints things at 80%, everything prints at 80%. i've had the printer for almost three years and its always done this. i'm using the epson drivers from the cd that came w/ the printer. this printer is hooked up to a g4 400 mhz tower, running os x.9
obviously it's not a big deal, but if anyone knows why, let me know.
i've checked the page setup, and its at 100%. i know i could figure out what the enlargement is, but it should print at size. i've also asked epson, and not heard back.
many thanks. marc

Is it possible you have the wrong paper size selected in your page layout? Like A4? If you selected A4 as your page size, but you are actually printing onto 8.5 x 11, the computer might get psyched out and shrink your prints to about 80% of their size to fix the difference between the A4 in the program's page layout and the 8.5 x 11 in the printer tray.

  • How do I connect my Airport Extreme 802.11n to Epson 645 Printer?

    I can't figure out how to connect my Airport Extreme 802.11n to my Epson 645 Printer.  Can anyone help me?  Thanks!

    You may want to try reinstalling Mavericks. Airport Utility installed by Mavericks may no longer connect to your older AEBS (though I've not heard that.) Installing the Old AirPort Utility (Version 5.6) on Mountain Lion | frank.is.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.

  • Pages '09 and an Epson RX580 printer

    I just made the jump to an IMac. I have run into an issue with printing envelopes with my Epson RX580 printer. I downloaded and installed the newest drivers that are available for Leopard from the Epson site for this printer. When I try to print envelopes, either an imported Word doc or one that I created from a template I have 2 problems. The envelope looks fine on the screen but when I print it the first issue is that it has to be rotated 180 degrees from what the printer manual says and my experience with MS Word is. Second of all, the left side of the return address is truncated and it prints lower on the envelope than expected. I have not changed any of the default setting for Pages. I did try playing around with margin settings. I eventually fixed the truncation but the envelope looked bad - text was too far to the right and too low.
    If this has been answered, I missed it an do apologize.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Sorry, I was away for a couple of days. When I start from a scratch and use an envelope emplate, I am assuming that the margins are being set by the template. When I view the image on the screen it looks correct. When I print the envelope its off by a little (ok enough to be annoying) not by a lot. If I go to inspector/page set up the page attribute setting is #10 envelope (4 1/8 x 9 1/2) which is the correct size for the envelope. Am I missing something?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please. Wasting ink and paper at the moment!!!!!!
    I have tried the printer with my laptop (not updated) and everything is fine. It's just the beautiful 27" Imac that can no longer print.

    Might be a corrupted printer preference file ...
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    ~/Library/Preferences
    Click Go
    Move the com.apple.PrinterPrefs.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac, restart the printer...

  • I have a new Epson wireless printer connected and the iPad recognizes it but it won't print. What is AirPrint and how do I connect it?

    I have a new Epson wireless printer connected and the iPad recognizes it but it still won't print.  What is AirPrint & how do I connect to it?

    Patti-
    Is your Epson printer on Apple's list of AirPrint capable printers?  See <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356>.
    If it is an AirPrint printer, then your WiFi router may not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint.  Contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change to its setup or a firmware update, that will make it work.
    One other possibility is that there could be a print job stuck in the iPad's print queue.  Double click the iPad's Home button and a row of recent Apps will appear along the bottom of the screen.  Scroll across and see if the Print Center is there.

  • I have a Mac and use an EPSON NX510 printer. I would like my printer to only print in black ink unless I otherwise indicate. How do I do this?

    I have a Mac and use an EPSON NX510 printer. I would like to print in black ink only and cannot locate how to do this?

    You usually find an option to print in black and white or gray scale in the settings of your printer that come up  when you choose "print" in the file menu of the program you are using at the time.
    BUT, if what you want to do is print with only black ink because you are out of ink in one of the color cartridges, that is usually not possible. For some reason I can't remember, printers makers prevent the use of the printer as soon as one of the color cartridges is empty.

  • I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

    I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

    Have you checked the ink cartridges and made sure the nozzles are clear? Are you able to print from outside of iPhoto with the correct color?
    Try the following: make temporary copy of the library and do the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • Trying to get Photoshop CS4 functional with Mavericks and an Epson 3880 printer. CS4 fails to send a file to the print queue. Have reinstalled the Epson 3880 driver for Mavericks. All looks good but no file is sent.

    rying to get Photoshop CS4 functional with Mavericks and an Epson 3880 printer. CS4 fails to send a file to the print queue. Have reinstalled the Epson 3880 driver for Mavericks. All looks good but no file is sent.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    What EXACT version of Photoshop CS4 are you running?  You should be on Photoshop CS4 v 11.0.2.
    Also run Apple's software update to see whether it offers you the latest Epson update:
    Printer Driver v9.33
    Epson Stylus Pro 3880, Drivers & Downloads - Technical Support - Epson America, Inc.
    MOST IMPORTANTLY:  have Photoshop re-create its own Preferences:
    To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
    Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
    Important: If you re-create the preferences by manually deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
    Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
    NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here:
    How to Reset Photoshop CS6’s Preferences File | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

    Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If  you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

  • Unable to print from a Mac using Maverick 10.9.2 on an Epson Photo printer with Photoshop CS4. Can you help?

    I am trying to print in Photoshop CS4 on an Epson Photo printer (3880) from my Mac. I just upgraded to Maverick 10.9.2 when the problem started. Can you help.

    I have the answer. It took quite a while but I know why the 3880 won't print from Photoshop 4 with Maverick. It is due to the Epson .icc page description files. The way to solve the problem is to make your own .icc. OK, so you don't know how to do it. This is what I did so now I get the quality prints I expect from an expensive printer.
    You need to go to www.datacolor.com/spyderprint and purchase the Spyderprint hardware and software. It comes as a package for $300 to $350 depending on if you get a sale. The software will print on the 3880 test sheets of color blocks. With the hardware reader you then read the colors on the test sheets printed. What this does is match the monitor image with the printer, ink and paper you used. It makes an .icc page description file for you to select instead of the Epson .icc file. When you print again select the new .icc file and also choose "Printer Manages Colors" instead of "Photoshop Manages Colors" I know this is usual but it works. When you are done you will be smiling too with your beautiful results.
    One other thing. If you want, it is optional, also purchase the Spider 4 Pro for $150. It calibrates your monitor and helps make excellent prints.
    I understand it is more money and you already probably have a good computer, expensive camera to go with the 3880 so spend the extra money so it all works together.
    I hope this helps.

  • Photoshop CS5 crashes when attempting to "Manage Custom Sizes" in Epson r3000 printer dialogue window

    I'm trying to print a gallery wrap image on an Epson R3000 printer using 13" wide Epson roll canvas. Every time I select "Manage Custom Sizes" in the printer's dialogue window, Photoshop CS5 crashes. I've been using Photoshop software for more than 15 years with a variety of Epson printers including Stylus Pro 7600 and this problem has never occurred previously. I can't seem to find a solution. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks in advance!

    That means that there is a bug in your Epson printer driver.
    Please contact Epson for updates to their printer driver software.

  • Color Management, Photoshop CS3 and Epson Inkjet Printer

    I have been down this road before but here goes again...
    Im using Photoshop CS3.
    Im printing on an Epson Stylus Photo RX680 using Photo quality inkjet paper.
    I know this printer is capable of very good quality prints.
    Thing is I can not figure out the correct combination of color management settings to get a decent print out of Photoshop or InDesign.
    I have read that you are supposed to turn off all printer color management and let Adobe manage the color. Doesnt seem to work.
    I just get overly magenta images that look awful.
    If I let the Epson color management control color I can get a lot closer but the print out is far from accurate or high quality.
    So what the heck IS the correct protocol for printing to an Epson inkjet printer from an Adobe app.
    BTW, I do seem to get a fairly decent print out of something like a PDF which I understand does its own postscript conversion before hitting the printer.
    Is this what my issue is?
    Does Photoshop or InDesign require postscript ripper software to get decent results out of an inkjet printer?

    Have spent hours with both Adobe and Epson support people. I've read several of these forums. Is there an insurmountable problem with CS3 and Epson (2200/2400 are mine)? I have the Leopard patches and upgrade 10.5.4.
    With Photoshop managing the color I get prints that are slightly underexposed and carry a pink cast. Color management is off. With the printer managing the color I get prints that are too green and dark. Epson advice here is to have color management off. There are two other choices for management but to adjust a perfectly balanced print to the printer's whim seem like cruel punishment.
    Have a calibrated monitor and my CS2 works beautifully. Perhaps the best idea is to just go back to CS2 until Adobe and Epson can decide what to do. According to Adobe people, the CS3 gives much of the management back to Epson. According to Epson -- with CS3, you should choose the printer to manage the color (since this seems to be the trend between the two companies) but we users are not happy with the results.
    What is the solution for right now?
