10.6.7 Upgrade and Epson 3800

Having difficulty reestablishing connection with my Epson 3800 after upgrading to 10.6.7.  I have downloaded the Common Updater 7.0 and the Printer Driver 6.6, installed both, still cannot print.  When I open Print Preferences and select the 3800, select Option and Supplies, and then select the Drive tab, it displays "The driver for this printer can not be changed."  The exact error message I receive after attempting to print is "Error:/System/Library/Printers/Printjobmgr/Contents/MacOS/Printjobmgr Failed."
Has anyone experience the same issue and, if so, can you share with me how you rectified this?
Thank you.

Try resetting the printing system.
How to Reset the Printing System
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
4. Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
5. Restart your Mac
This will remove your print queues but not your printer drivers. So you will only need to add your print queues again.

  • CS5 and Epson 3800. Prints Too Dark.

    I've seen old posts about this, but nothing recent with this configuration of software and OS:
    After years of printing successfully with my Epson 3800 from a PC, I  recently switched to a Mac (Mac OS X 10.6). I am using Photoshop CS 5.
    Despite many iterations of monitor calibration trying different  settings, my prints are consistently about 2 stops too dark. I'm very  vexed.
    What is the latest information about this and how do  I resolve this?
    Thank you.

  • Leopard and Epson 3800

    Like most folks using Leopard and trying to print on an Epson 3800, I have lost most of the printing functions that should be available on a printer of that calibre. So much for my brand new Mac Pro, and my almost brand new Epson. However, with Tiger loaded on my MacBook Pro, the printer works just as it should. I really don't want to downgrade the Mac Pro from Leopard to Tiger, and I'm wondering if I can somehow link the Macbook to the Mac Pro in target disk mode, and print from there. Alternatively, I have three hard drives on the Mac Pro and I'm also wondering if I can load Tiger into one of them, and print from that drive. Has anyone tried either of these alternatives, and if one works, can you walk me through it? Any thoughts on this pesky problem would be appreciated (and, yes, I have read most of the threads I can find). Thanks.
    Andy.

    I am having the same Error:-9672 issue with my networked SPro 3800 Pro Edition and my PowerMac G5 running newly installed Leopard. I'm at a loss and a little confused. In order to work backwards as some of you suggest, how do I delete the new PPDs? Where do I find them in the Printers folder and what are they called? I just downloaded the Printer Driver v3.5cE and can't find what it loads. I want to go back to the older PPD and see if that works. If that doesn't I might try the Euro version. Is that a Beta version?
    My issue is also Express won't see any PPDs in the print window even after all the updates. Depending on the printer selected it is ether grayed out or I can only select Generic versions.
    Has anybody spoken to AppleCare?

  • PHOTOSHOP AND EPSON 3800, HELP!!

    I bought a Epson Stylus 3800 4 months ago, everything was working perfectly, but since 2 weeks (I don't remember doing something special) when I print an image this dialog box appear just when use the button PRINT  "Some postscript specific settings (Interpolation, calibration, encoding) will be ignored since you are printing to a non-postscript printer". And now my photos are darker and the colors looks awful. I have an exibition in two months and this is a nightmare... Someone having an idea???

    Rick -
    No, this is not a new driver. As per the Epson description I posted, this driver was made available on 9/18/08. If you read it carefully, the blurb also indicates the driver (technically ver. 6.11), is compatible with SL.
    I'm out of my pricey Epson paper but I just ran a test using some old Heavyweight Matte I had laying around. Seems to print fine and produced a fairly accurate print - especially considering I used a mismatched Epson canned profile. 
    When you install SL, you have the option to install Rosetta - I did but as far as I know, nothing is running through Rosetta during the print process. The installer file has the option to run through Rosetta with Get Info, but I didn't enable it.
    I installed SL the same way I always install a new OS - on a (wiped), test drive keeping my production drive completely in tact. I install apps from scratch and configure everything a little at a time. If I run into problems, my production system is a reboot away - no bleeding edge here. :-)

  • Problem printing with Epson 3800 and Photoshop CS5

    I came across a problem trying to print with my Epson 3800 in Photoshop CS5.  I recently upgraded to Photoshop CS 5 (and Lightroom 3).  I tried to print using my Epson 3800 with CS5 but could not adjust Print Settings, Color Mamagement, Paper Configuration, Expand Border because those options are unavailable and there is a line crossing through them. I get a message that says "The bundle 'Print Setting' could not be loaded because it does not contain a version for the current architecture".   It then says to contact the creator listed here for the latest version: PrintSetting version 3.57, Copyright SEIKO EPSON CRP 2001-2006.   I can print through Photoshop CS4 as usual, but CS5 is a problem.  I haven't tried printing though Lightroom 3 yet, and have not typically used Lightroom to print, but I wonder if that will be a problem too?
    Any help will be appreciated.

    If you run CS5 or LR as a 32bit application you will have all these option available to you. You can then save these options as presets that can then be applied when you are running the applications in 64bit mode even if you can not access them individually.
    Also you might want to check Epson's download site especially the European site to see if there are newer drivers or updates for your printer. The newest drivers for other printers like the 7600/9600 support application running in 64bit mode.

  • Epson 3800 and Airport Express...drops connection with communication error

    My problem is: my airport express worked fine for over a year as a wireless printer usb hook-up...but now it always says communication error after it starts to send data. I am using a epson 3800 with the newest driver (for leopard) and I have tested to see that the printer works by hooking it directly to the computer with a USB cable. I have also reset the airport express and reconfigured it. I have also switched out the airport express with another one in my house to test to see if it works. The airport express seems fine and will play iTunes remotely....but just will not print. I have also uninstalled the printer and re-installed it. I am at a loss to even what steps to try next, I upgraded to leopard and was not able to print much till the epson leopard drivers came out a few weeks ago...so I don't even know if its a leopard problem or epson...help

    I had the same problem after I upgraded to Leopard and installed the newest R1800 driver from Epson and I got the same response from Epson. The Gutenprint driver does work but it does not handle color management properly and as you have discovered, not all of the print options are properly supported.
    You can solve the problem by reverting to the older V3.0aAs driver available at Epson's website. When I did this I believe I used the epson installer to uninstall the v6.12 driver. Then I restarted and installed V3.0aAs and restarted once again. The old printer driver was automatically selected when I installed the printer.
    Note. Before you do this, upgrade to 10.5.2 and see if that resolves the problem. The installation notes state that this upgrade resolves the issues printing to "some" printers but it does not say which. If this works, please post your findings and the rest of us R1800 owners can re-install the new driver.

  • Upgraded to Mavericks and Epson scanner software was quarantined.Powered on the scanner, plugged in the USB, clicked Software Update, and clicked Update for the Epson printer software. Update occurred by I chose "not now" to a dialog and it didn't install

    Hi, upgraded to Mavericks and Epson scanner software was quarantined. Powered on the scanner, plugged in the USB, clicked Software Update, and an Epson Printer Software Update appeared in the App Store Updatees area.  Clicked Update for the Epson printer software.  During the download, I was presented with a dialog asking me if I wanted the software to be automatically installed. I chose the "not now" option and as far as the App Store in concerned the software was installed, but it has not been.  Where did this go to and how can I force it to install?  Or is there some way to force the App Store to go through the download process again.  Many thanks!   Joseph

  • Upgraded to CS5 running Yosemite (mac os 10.10), upgraded scanner Epson Perfection Photo 700, click on "import" and CS5 is not showing scanner dlick on "import" in photoshop

    upgraded to CS5 running Yosemite (mac os 10.10), upgraded scanner Epson Perfection Photo 700 software--when i click on "import" CS5 is not showing scanner--what do i have to do to get it to recognize scanner?

    Hi Gene,
    Persistence pays off: so initially, CS5 was not recognizing my Epson Perfection Photo V700. I reloaded the Epson software twice and using the mac menu for printers and scanners tried to get it to operate. no dice.  Finally, on the third try, I went to Finder to look under applications software, found the epson software and clicked on that, and finally got the Epson scan window to open. So now, even tho i can't open it from inside CS5, i can still get the image into CS5 easily by clicking on "open" and going to finder. (Still good to know about Vuescan tho.)
    Aloha,

  • I just update my Mac operating system from Snow Leopard to Yosemite and now have to upgrade my Epson Printer WF3540 so that it will be able to scan. Will Adobe be compatible with these softwares?

    I just update my Mac operating system from Snow Leopard to Yosemite and now have to upgrade my Epson Printer WF3540 so that it will be able to scan. Will Adobe be compatible with these softwares?

    Hi spiritentrep,
    What Adobe software are you referring to? Are you using Acrobat? You should have no problems running Acrobat XI on Yosemite, and as along as you have compatible scanner drivers for your Epson, you should be fine there as well.
    Best,

  • TC 1tb and Wireless Epson 3800

    Apologize if this is a recurring topic, I searched the board but was unable to find an answer...
    I recently installed a TC without any problems. Backing up two macbook pro's. But I am having a devil of a time connecting an Epson 3800. I followed the instructions found on the forum, but it does not see the printer.
    Appreciate any assistance.
    Best regards,

    Hello wallyr8. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
    To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at this iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link.
    If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
    Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help:

  • Upgraded and lost Epson R200 Borderless printer option

    I just upgraded to Tiger on my eMac, and was sailing through everything until I went to print an 8x10 borderless print on my Epson R200. The "sheet-fed_ borderless printer option I used to have was no longer available in any of my apps. I went to print utility to try to add it again and couldn't find it in any list of options, even trying to add it to the list!
    Anyone else had this happen or does anyone know what's going on here?
    Thanks,
    Barry

    My wife can print to my shared printers from her Win XP box borderless all day long, but my new "worlds most advanced operating system equipped dual 2.7 ghz Mac workstation and my G5 iMac can't print a simple borderless photo to save their lives. Epson r200 and a 2200, gimp and epson drivers. So far the only way I have gotten a borderless print is with a demo of $199 PowerRip software (with a big watermark). This function should be included in Tiger, what is going on. Lets all get on Apples case. Ask them why "it just works" on Windows and not on Mac. (little frustrated...)

  • Epson 3800 not working with Mavericks even after downloading new driver

    Epson 3800 printer stoped working when I upgraded to Mavericks. Downloaded the latest Epson driver, v9.17, keep getting error message and not able to print although I can add the printer in Printers/Scanners. Been on the phone with Epson, no results, they recommend talking wth Apple. Hah! Anyone else with this issue? Do I need to go back to Mountain Lion? How big a deal?

    Is it an AL-C3800? If so, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669 shows it's supported. Did you try deleting and re-adding the printer? Installing updates?
    If not of that works, try deleting the the /Library/Printer/EPSON and the /Library/Caches/Epson/ folder and then reinstalling the updates.

  • Color printing shift in Epson 3800 & InDesign CS5

    Somebody please help!
    I wrote about this once before and have been looking for a thread to help me figure out why I am having so much trouble printing from my Epson 3800, since I upgraded to CS5. The issue is specific to InDesign and Acrobat. I have the identical settings from CS4, but when I print, the colors look faded. I have tried exporting the files to PDF (for high quality print) and then printing from Acrobat and I get the same result.
    the two things that are different are the Mac OSX (Snow Leopard, used to be Leopard) and CS5. All other setting are exactly the same.
    If I open the pdf in photoshop, this isn't a problem, so what has happened?
    I would be so grateful to hear from anybody experiencing this problem.
    Thanks so much!

    In and of itself, synching settings in bridge won't have an effect on output, and won't affect existing docs unless your policy settings are to convert to the working space or you do it manually (neither of which are necessarily a good idea in all situations). Nor do we have any indication that this is a profile mismatch problem.
    Without a lot more information about working profiles, whether they're already synchronized, driver settings, whether transparency is involved, and the patch levels of both ID and OS X I hesitiate to speculate on where the problem might be. There have been a lot of problems with printing from CS5 on OS X 10.6, but most seem to be worked around by exporting to PDF, which seems not to be the case here, so a lot more information would be beneficial.

  • Photoshop CS3 and Epson printer

    I have PS CS3 with an Epson 4000 running on windows XP. I know Adobe is aware of a problem in which under some circumstances, (when you use roll paper) PS will print a smaller image off center and displaying in the interface the portrait mode despite me clicking landscape. I also know Adobe has a technote that offers solutions (I am already using version 10.0.1 with Bridge 2.1.1.9. Also solutions 2,3, and 4 on the tech notes have not worked. I tried different combinations and permutations of settings to no avail. Now I work on CS3 on the image, save it, and print it on CS2 which I kept on my computer, and has no problems printing. Can you please keep this as an on-going problem, since it has not been solved yet? Any feedback on this? There are a lot of Epson printer out there, and printing for a photographer is absolutely important. Thanks.
    Ed Kneler

    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?
