Printing from Lightroom 2 with Snow Leopard OS

I have used Lightroom 2 and printed satisfactorily with Epson Stylus Pro 4000 with Leopard OS.  I have now upgraded to  Snow Leopard, and using the latest driver for the Epson 4000, the prints come out very dark with both printer and Lightroom color management.  Any suggestions?

Thank you for your suggestions.  I have subsequently talked to the Epson Support representative and he said to watch the current drivers for Epson since apparently there may be some Epson driver updates.  I do not know whether any will be a resolution of the problem I continually have with the Epson Stylus Pro 4000 however.  Interesting, I printed an image using CS4 today, and out of frustration, I set the mode as "automatic" under the Print Settings in the Print Box.  It came out very close to the screen rendering, and was not dark like the images printed under the Photoshop settings and the other printer driver settings.  I have never used the "automatic" before since I normally use the ICC profiles for the paper and ink from Epson.  Under Leopard, prior to converting to Snow Leopard, the Photoshop/ICC profiles did not render proper color either, and I used "ColorSync" as a custom setting under the Print Box, and it was the best of the settings.  In any event, nothing seems to fully work under the current combinations with CS4, Lightroom2, Epson, and Snow Leopard.  Unfortunately, the best settings under my former PC setup render the worst possible prints under Snow Leopard.

  • Epson R2880 printer driver problems with Snow Leopard

    I’m running 10.6.4 on a new Mac mini and I’m trying to print to a new Epson R2880. If I let the system choose the printer driver in the print and fax utility, I get a sort of generic print dialogue box without many options, but it prints. If I go into the print and fax utility and manually choose the driver, I get a different print dialog box with all the appropriate print options. I checked and it matches the screen shots for this printer that are posted on the Epson site, so I feel sure this the correct driver. However, when I try to print with this driver, I get this error message. Error:/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpll.app/Contents /MacOS/rastertoescpll failed.
    This seems to be a common problem with Snow Leopard and the R2880 Epson printers, and it seems that most people are able to solve it by deleting the printer from the printer queue and resetting the printer queue. But that hasn’t solved my problem.
    Here’s what I’ve done:
    Manually deleted the Epson folder from the hard drive and trashed it, repaired disk permissions, uninstalled the Epson driver, updated software, downloaded and installed the Apple/Epson driver, deleted the printer from the print queue, and reset the printer queue. I’ve done all of these things several times over. And still I get the same error message every time I try to print from the driver with the print options. Does anyone have any other suggestions for a fix?

    Some of the previous users had success when they restarted after deleting the /Library/Printers/EPSON and /Library/Caches/Epson folders. You might also try deleting the /Library/Cache folder. There is a solution posted from someone at Epson:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10909012#10909012
    Substitute 2880 for RX580:
    Make sure that you have completely removed the Stylus Photo RX580 driver, then install the new driver from System Update:
    1. Power off the printer
    2. Open System Pref. and Print/Fax
    3. Highlight the RX580 printer
    4. Click on the ""-"" sign
    5. Close Print and Fax
    6. Open your Mac's Hard Drive
    7. Open the Library Folder
    8. Open Printer and delete the EPSON Folder
    9. Open the PPDs folder find the Epson Stylus Photo RX580.gz and delete the file
    10. Close the PPD and the Printer folder
    ->11. In the Library folder, open the Caches Folder
    ->12. Delete the Epson folder
    ->13. Restart the Mac
    14. Power on the printer
    15. Click on the Apple Icon and System Update
    16. Follow the directions to install the new driver
    Hope this helps.

  • LR 2.5 prints too dark with Snow Leopard

    Hello all,
    I hope someone can help me. I am going really nuts with my printing. Every print I do at the moment is really dark! It doesn't matter if I turn on / off color management or not. If I use profiles or not. If I export from LR and use the preview app and print from there the prints are ok.....
    I use:
    LR 2.5
    Snow Leopard 10.6.1
    Actual Epson Driver (R800) from the Epson US website
    Epson Profile from the Epson US website
    Original Ink, Original paper
    Monitor calibrated with Spyder 2 Pro
    Has anyone any idea? What really wonders me it that even if I use in LR steh print setting "managed by printer" I get exactly the same result as if I use managed by LR and use a profile.......
    Please help
    Thank you in advance.
    Andreas

    To Jao:
    You won't get the very best output, but it might be worthwhile trying - certainly cheaper than buying a whole new printer.
    Now that was a good call. It worked quite - as in English quite, rather than American quite - well setting the driver to expect an AdobeRGB image. Much better than any other combination that I have tried. Does it solve the problem? Probably not; and reading your post I don't believe it was meant to. As said earlier I am now on course for a replacement printer. My only hurdle is uncertainty as to which will work in a SL/Adobe future. The lunacy of all this is that I could go out today and buy - direct from Epson, or any of their UK dealers - a natural replacement for my R800. Its called the R800, and if you click on the Epson UK inkjet printers page, there it is at £243.70.
    With that silly situation in mind, how can one today choose any new A4/A3 printer and be reasonably confident it will support custom profile printing ex-CS4 & Lr in the foreseeable future?

  • Trying to get lexmark Z708 printer to work with Snow Leopard

    I've just set up a friend's new Mac, using 10.6.4; he's moved from Windows with his Lexmark X708 printer. I can't find any Z708 printing drivers that will work with SnowL - not on the installation 'extras' on the dvd, nor on apple or lexmark's pages (the 708 driver for 10.4 on lexmark's site doesn't work). is there a workaround or do i have to persuade him to fork out yet more for a new printer?

    There is a "Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard > Printing, faxing and scanning forum you just missed it.

  • Need printer driver (HP printer) to work with Snow Leopard:

    My Imac came with Tiger, and I recently had it upgraged (by Apple professionals) to Snow Leopard, but I need a printer driver for my HP Business Inkjet 1200. I got no help from HP. Any suggestions? (And I don't speak "computer-ese" so please spell it out in easy steps for this dinosaur. Thanks!)

    probably my misuse of 'best' - by 'best' I meant one that actually operates properly with full functionality.
    I have been using HP for a while and always find that there is one little bit of the app that does not work with Mac and in the past HP have always said 'oh well we don't design for Mac'.
    What I want to know is, what works properly ?

  • Want to print from Macbook pro (snow leopard) to laserwriter 8500

    I found advice about printing using IP but I am not able to get that to work no how. Advice was about sending command lines to printer. Currently via ethernet through a netgear hub that always used to work with my old desktop PPC iMac G4.

    Call Apple and order the Snow Leopard install DVD from which you can install 10.6.3
    Then upgrade to 10.6.8 to get the App Store to download 10.7
    But first check to besure your Mac is capable of having 10.7 installed on it.
    Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of RAM
    Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later with the Mac App Store installed
    At least 4GB of additional disk space to accommodate the download, but more is obviously recommended

  • Samsung CLP-315 printer not happy with Snow Leopard

    I got a Samsung CLP-315 color laser printer about 6 months ago. I had it connected to an iMac G5 (PPC) running Tiger. It worked wonderfully. Well, the iMac died so I got a new Mac Mini (Intel running Snow Leopard). Well, now things are not working very well. When I try to print, sometime it prints, other times I need to power cycle the printer, then when I try to print it works. Printing remotely from my other iMac used to work flawlessly, now it is interemittent. For example, when I try to print a PDF file remotely it won't print. I've very dissapointed that moving to the newest OS causes problems.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I think I may have fixed the problem. I haven't done extensive testing, but...
    I turned off the printer. I used the install CD that came with the printer. I performed an Uninstall operation. Then I opened System Preferences -> Pring & Fax, and deleted the printer. Then I turned on the printer and Snow Leopard asked me if I wanted to install the driver. I said yes and it went looking. When it completed the printer showed up in my print preferences. This time the picture of the printer showed up in the preferences. Before that it was a generic looking printer. Maybe these drivers are newer/better. We'll see.

  • How do I transfer files from mac with snow leopard to a new retina display mac

    What is the easiest way to transfer files from my old mac(2008) snow leopard to my new retina display mac book pro?

    Easiest? Well there is some sort of wireless transfer thing, but I hear it takes FOREVER like several days and it's glitchy.
    The Retina doesn't have a Firewire port I believe, so Target Disk Mode is out, unless you have a adapter and I don't know how well that will work out. Cost another $30 for the adpatper I bet.
    The likely most easiest?
    Run down to any computer or office store and pickup a powered external USB hard drive that's the same size or larger then the old Mac's boot drive.
    Boot the old Mac and download Carbon Copy Cloner.
    (or use the TimeMachine if it asks, but it takes a reallly long time and if there are problems, then it's harder to recover files from)
    Format the external drive in Disk Utility with Partition: option GUID and OS X Extended Journaled (default setting)
    Use CCC to clone OLD A boot drive to External Drive B, takes about a few hours depending how much stuff you have.
    Hook up drive to new Mac, (either clone or TimeMachine drive)
    Use the free Migration Assistant in your Application Utility folder to transfer over, but creates a new user account (you can later delete one)
    Or if you haven't set up the new Mac yet, when you do set it up during that process, you can transfer from the External Drive B and it won't have the account you set the machine up with naturally just uses the ones from the clone or TimeMachine drive.
    Once your fine and dandy on the new machine, then Disk Utility erase and use the external USB to create either a bootable clone with CCC or a TimeMachine drive for backup.
    Since you need a backup drive anyway, this method is better and happens to be reliable and easy.

  • Color cast when printing from Lightroom with Epson 3880 printer

    Just got an epson 3880 printer. Printing on epson paper is fine. But printing on Ilford or Moab or other papers from lightroom and photoshop have a terrible magenta color cast.
    WHen I print the same image from Preview, with the same print driver settings, it looks fine. So somehow the adobe apps (or my settings) are messing up the color sync.
    I used to have an espon 2400 which worked just fine.
    I have Mac OSX-10.9.1. Monitor is calibrated. (Prints to epson paper with their profiles look great...it's just other profiles that are really bad).
    I need help!

    Are you using moab icc profiles or are you using one of the epson profiles?
    I always use the moab profiles which you can download from their Web site. This way you are matching the specific epson printer with the specific moab paper.
    At that point you change the printer manages color to Lightroom manages color and select the specific profile. Very easy to do - they even have instructions on the Moab site for installing the profiles if you haven't done that.
    Once installed you can also use them through the system print dialogs in PS but it is really much much easier to use in LR - Since coming on board with LR last summer, I have switched to doing ALL printing from LR. Since you mentioned that you are having the same problem with LR and PS, I'm betting you are using epson profiles and this will solve your problem.
    Hope so

  • How to get existing (Dlink) printer servers working with Snow Leopard

    I have a new macbook. We have two existing Dlink 1260 print servers serving 3 Windows machines. Both connect to our network via CAT5, we have a Buffalo router and cable modem service. One print server has a HP inkjet ands the other has a Canon inkjet printer. I know the IP addresses (static) and TCP ports of the two print servers. Apple's support people told me they arent trained to help me on print servers.
    How does one install these print servers in Snow Leopard 10.6?? I am out of ideas other than Geek Squad :>(

    I would imagine you need to connect via IP, LPD, put the IP address of the server in for Address and the Port Name in for the Queue.
    You will need Postscript drivers for the printers, based on info on the D-Link site.

  • Old Appletalk Printer Stopped Working With Snow Leopard

    My old Apple 630 Pro Printer, which is connected to one of the Ethernet ports of my Time Capsule station, used to work perfectly through Appletalk... till I installed Snow Leopard. No more Appletalk in Snow Leopard, the printer is gone.
    If I could find the IP address of the printer, I could probably add it this way. Does somebody know how to find the IP address of anything attached to the Station through Ethernet?
    I know that this one is not easy, and thanks in advance for any info!

  • Can't transfer from iMac with snow leopard to Macbook pro with leopard

    Hey
    I Have a bit of a problem and hope someone can help me out.
    I have a 2008 Macbook Pro running on Leopard and my wife has a 2010 iMac running on snow leopard. We were trying to share some files and there was no problem from mine to hers. I've put the folders on my public folder and she picked them up and transfered them to her computer. The other way was impossible. I can see her computer on finder and i connect to it as a guest (as she did to mine), but nothing appears there, altough the folders are on her public folder. I've checked the settings and everything seems to be the same on both computers.
    Does anyone knows whats going on?
    Appreciate some help

  • Wierd issue trying to print from Win 7 - Snow Leopard 10.6.4 Server

    Hey guys,
    I've set up a printer queue to share a Brother 4040-CDN printer. I "think" I've set everything up correctly as I can print from Mac-to-Mac without any problems.
    However, when I try to print from a Windows 7 client something really weird happens. I CAN'T print from any application (Word, notepad, adobe, etc) but I CAN print a printer test page.
    I've checked the logs and its showing the printer test page, obviously, but there's nothing in there when I try printing from any other application - not even an error message from as far as I can see.
    Ideas?

    I'm hoping to enforce a print quota on it later, thus the need to share it through the server.
    I've tried using IPP and LPR to print to the printer from the queue.
    I've got it shared via IPP, SMB, and LPD.
    To install the printer on the Windows 7 machines I browse to the server (\\server) and I then double click on the printer (br4040_r). Windows then proceeds to ask me to pick the driver to install. I pick the brother 4040-cdn series driver and Windows finishes installing it. It then asks me to print a test page, I say yes and the test page prints out fine. If I then try to print from notepad or something the print job never ends up making it to the print queue.

  • Printing from Lightroom with Epson 3800

    I have tried all sorts of things and I can't seem to figure out how to print on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper.
    Here's what I'm using.
    MAC 10.5.8
    Lightroom 2.5
    Epson print Driver 6.11
    What do I need to do to print what I see in my print window. (see screenshot)
    So far my results have been:
    1. not centered on the long side (the 11" edge)
    2. about 3/8" trimmed off on the leading edge.
    I've tried borderless well.

    The paper is 8.5 x 11, at least that's what the package says.
    It's the Premium Luster Photo Paper 50 pack.
    I have tried borderless (Retain size). The results are even worse.
    It prints to the edge but also cuts off 3/8" of image on the leading edge.
    And the the image is not centred on the 11" side.

  • Canon MP620 print driver does not work with Snow Leopard

    Bought a Macbook & bundled Canon MP620 printer in Dec 08. Two days ago upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I can no longer print (the printer is not recognized), it only sees "Bonjour scanner" (the printer is a multi-function printer, copier, fax, scanner). Spent more than two hours with two different Apple tech support people over the phone; talked to Apple personnel in store. My printer is connected via Ethernet cable to a wireless modem, and I connect to the wireless modem via Airport. The phone tech person insisted that this printer is supported by Snow Leopard, but we reloaded the print driver from the Snow Leopard installation disk with no results. Finally my last resort, which worked, is to go to Radio Shack and get a cable that has a USB-A (printer) to USB-B (Mac) attachment. I was able to print. It is unacceptable for Apple to have this problem, as I went into the store four different times to discuss whether I should upgrade to Snow Leopard, and was told on every occasion that Snow Leopard will make everything run faster, more smoothy, etc. NOT! I want Apple to post a notice on their web site to a) confirm their print driver problems with Snow Leopard and b) to confirm WHEN new print drivers will be released.

    Have a look at my last posting re Canon network printing.
