Adobe PSE 8 + Epson Stylus Photo PX710W - Cannot Get This Combo to Work

Hi All
Apologies for length of posting but I am really at the end of my tether with this. I should say that prints from this printer have not impressed me even from when I first received it about a month ago when I was printing from Epson Easyprint software. They looked washed out and not at all vibrant and I was using Epson inks and papers. However things got a whole lot worse when I started to use PSE8 which gave prints that were far darker than those on screen. Interestingly the best prints so far came from me simply inserting my SD card directly into the printer this morning but obviously that gives little-to-no control over manipulation.
So, if somebody could help me I would really appreciate it. Here are my latest settings:
Snow Leopard 10.6.4
Macbook Pro 2.66 GHz Intel Core Duo
Epson Stylus Photo PX710W
Adobe PSE 8 (Mac)
Note that I spent the whole of yesterday working on this to the stage where I uninstalled and reinstalled all of the Epson stuff. I also consulted the following link (and related links) and downloaded the latest Mac Updater from the Epson US site.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10609503
My latest print driver from the Epson CD is showing as version 6.61
I also loaded Epson ICC profiles
I have calibrated my monitor using the Eye-One display 2.
When I print in PSE I am choosing:
Colour Settings: Always Optimise Colour for Computer Screens (I chose this because my photo file is showing as sRGB)
Colour Management:
Colour Handling: Photoshop Handles Colour (I disabled Printer Colour Management in another menu)
Image Space: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
Printer Profile: SPPXTX 810 710 Epson Glossy
Rendering Intent: Relative Colorimetric
I truly hope this is a case of user error on my part so all advice welcome. Or just let me know if oyu know of a better printer:)
Many thanks

I also had enough with Epson Stylus Photo PX710W... I am buying a new printer. I have tried everything to make it print from photoshop nice vivid colors, if you consider i am using a very well calibrated monitor special for video editing. i used also Dekke settings for Colors and are not even close to the original when printed and i can't seem to figure out whats the problem. I disabled printer color management and let photoshop handle it. I tried Adobe RGB, i tried Epson Standar bla bla bla... I searched the subject very deeply as to inform everybody before posting anything that i have no problem with my videos whatsoever. I have tried numerous settings (almost all photoshop could offer) and have consumed a lot of ink and printed thousands the same picture to compare the settings and wrote with a marker on it each times the combination of settings that i did. Not even close... I realized only one thing just to also let others know and get them out of trouble... Epson Stylus Photo PX710W + Mac = Disaster! Good for windows yes, but buying a Epson Stylus Photo PX710W for your Mac? FORGET IT! I'm throwing it to the waste bin or i will just give it away to someone for free.

WIFI scan Epson Stylus Photo PX710W does not work under OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) and

Since yesterday (27/10) i have installed OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) on my iMac. Now there is a problem with my Epson Stylus Photo PX710W. I cannot scan via WIFI. It seems that the problem is with the scan.app version 3.7.1. I can oly scan via USB and cable, but that's not why I bought a WIFI printer/scanner for.
Is there anybody who can offer me a solution for my problem?

Epson Stylus Photo PX710W is not compatible with Mavericks

I still cannot scan with my Epson Stylus Photo PX710W. My scan driver (scan.app version 3.7.1) is not compatible with Mavericks. Who can help me?
Epson does not react to my question when the correct driver will be available.
Epson indicate to their FAQ’s, but this is will not help since the ICA scan only works when my printer/scanner is connected to my Mac via USB. I bought this EPSON printer/scanner because it was wireless. Now after just 3 years I miss this important option.
I see a lot of discussion about Epson scan drivers but little help from Epson
Who can lead me to an appropriate scan driver for my Epson device?

I disagree a bit because my Epson printer/scanner worked very well for over 3 years. It worked under Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion. But since I installed Mavericks my scanner doesn't work anymore. It's just a case that Epson is very slow in upgrading the drivers within an appropriate time on the one hand and not giving any foresight how long it takes to repair drivers on the other hand. Their website is inadequate and gives me absolute no information at all. I can understand their vision when it comes to printer/scanners which are very old i.e 10 years and mor. But not for relatively new printer/scanners.
So, if anybody can help i'll be very greatefull.

Epson Printer problem "Epson Stylus Photo PX710W" - solved!

Hello All,
My system: OS 10.6.4
I am posting this in the hope that it is useful to someone. Firstly, the printer is great. However, I had a really frustrating time trying to print via Iwork, Iphoto or print off an email directly in a web browser. Each time I did this an error appeared stating there was an error with the library and it failed to print. For me, I really wanted to be able to print from, say the Apple word processing programme "Pages", or print of emails with important details etc. So I persevered and finally came to a solution!
After contacting Epson (and Apple!) a few times one Epson guy gave me the following instructions. Please note I accept no loss or damage directly or indirectly from following this advice if you have the same problem of not being able to print out emails in browsers or print from Iwork, or Iphoto, whether you choose to follow this advice or not is solely your responsibility, however this worked for me:
EMAIL FROM THE EPSON ENGINEER
From the information you have provided, it would suggest that either a communication problem is present or the Mac is unable to display the EPSON driver in the Printer Browser.
It is recommended that all EPSON Printers are removed and re-installed and you repair the communications.
To uninstall your printer:
1. Make sure that the EPSON printer is connected to the Mac through a direct USB connection (not through a Hub or the Keyboard) and switched on.
2. Make sure that the Mac is on and booted.
3. In the Mac Hard Drive/Applications/Utilities open the Printer Set-up Utility.
4. Remove all the references to the printer model.
5. Disconnect the printer from the computer.
6. We will now remove the EPSON Printer driver from the system and delete the drivers that you downloaded.
Go to the Mac Hard Drive/Library/Printer and move the complete EPSON folder to the trash. Warning this removes all EPSON Printers.
7. Also remove any drivers that were previously downloaded to the trash if the file name does not match that from our web site.
8. Restart the Mac.
9. Empty the trash.
10. Now we will run a repair utility that may take up to 30 minutes to complete so please plan for this. Go to Mac Hard Drive/Applications/Utilities and open the Disk Utility.
11. Select Disk First Aid at the top of the dialogue box.
12. Select the Mac Hard Drive Icon in the left hand pane.
13. Select Repair Permissions at the bottom of the dialogue box.
14. When this has completed restart the Mac. Power the printer on and ensure that it is directly connected to a USB port on the Mac and not via a third party device such as a USB hub.
You will now need to download the driver/s from the Epson website. Please connect to the Epson website via the link below:
http://www.epson.co.uk/support
Type in your product in the search field and then select the correct model. Then select your operating system if this is not automatically selected. Then please click the down arrow next to drivers and downloads and download the printer driver for your printer and ensure this starts in the Download Manager. The file may be in a SIT format, which requires Stuffit Expander to expand the compressed files, if you have not installed Stuffit, it is available from:
http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander
Please try the following to install and add the driver:
1. Locate the downloaded file, if in a SIT format, this requires Stuffit Expander so have Stuffit running.
2. If the file is a .DMG file, you do not require Stuffit, double-click the downloaded EPSON driver file and this will expand to reveal the dmg file and mounted drive.
3. Double-click the blue VISE icon when presented.
4. Follow the on screen prompts to install the driver, restarting the Mac when necessary.
5. Once restarted the driver needs adding to the printer list. To do this please go into the hard disk, go into the folder called Applications, double click on the folder called ‘Utilities’. You should see in this window the ‘Printer Setup Utility', double click on this icon. This will present the Printer List.
6. Delete any reference to the printer that may be on this list already as these may not be the genuine EPSON driver.
7. Click the add icon at the top and a dialogue box will appear, this will be the Printer Browser.
8. Next highlight the printer and then select add printer. Note: Do not choose a printer from the list of Epson printers. Your printer will not appear here, nor will the genuine Epson driver. You should be able to highlight the printer and choose 'Add'. If 'Add' is not available, leave the Printer Browser open and do not do anything else on the Mac, leave it open for about 10 minutes. When you come back to it, you should now find 'Add' available.
9. The printer should now be added to the printer list. Test the printer by highlighting it on the Printer List and selecting 'Utility'. The EPSON Printer Utility will appear, ensure paper is loaded and select to print a 'Nozzle Check'.
If you have an All in One, then to install the scanner component, locate the downloaded EPSON Scan driver and double-click this. The files will unstuff and a window will appear with the EPSON Scan Installer. Double-click this icon to initiate the installation.
11. Once installed, restart the Mac and the scanner should be ready to use. You can test this by going to: Applications : EPSON Scan.
If you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.

Here was an easy-ish way which I did it:
Step 1) Install the bloated, piece of garbage Epson software so that you have a copy of the driver, or alternatively, just install the driver.
Step 2) go into your router (http://192.168.0.1, user: admin, pass: admin) and set up what's called static ID. Just figure out the MAC address of your printer and assign a unique static ID to it, ie 192.168.0.100
Step 3) go into system preferences> printers> add printer (+)> IP> Line Printer Daemon - LPD and as the address give it the static address you assigned (192.168.0.100). If you installed the driver, it should automatically detect and select it.
VOILA!

Why does Epson Stylus Photo PX710W Print Rubbish from Firefox

When I print from a website any pictures are fine but the text is gobbledegook. If I print directly from my PC (Word, Excel etc.) it prints perfectly. this happens whether I use the Print command from the Firefox main menu or whether I use the website print option.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I changed my printer

I disagree a bit because my Epson printer/scanner worked very well for over 3 years. It worked under Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion.

Also, how to find that tutorial?

Printing with 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' colour setting to Epson Stylus photo 2100

I have just upgraded my work Mac (G5 Dual 2ghz PowerPC running OSX 10.5.4 and 6gb Ram) to CS3. Brilliant, except when I came to print out a presentation for a client, it keeps crashing illustrator. It always happens when I try and print to my Epson Stylus Photo 2100 using 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' colour settings. We have previously be using 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' colour settings (as this gets a pretty true colour representation out of our CMYK printer). All the other settings work fine, but lacks the rich colour of the emulated setting. I don't seem to be able to get even close by adjusting the setting in the colour settings panel.
Does anyone know of a way round this, or of a patch to fix this? I have been checking out the internet, but cant find the Illustrator settings from version 6 (i'm sure it was very basic - but my boss wont except anything but those settings).
I have tried printing with 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' colour settings to our Lexmark laser printer C522 (basic colour results) but it was able to print. Not sure why it should work on one printer but not another?
The printer we are using is a Epson Stylus Photo 2100, with the latest driver 3.09.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I wonder if it is a conflict with the system settings or Adobe Bridge settings somewhere. I used to use "Emulate Illustrator 6...", but always had a RIP interpret the information. I can't think of any reason why Illustrator would crash. I'd send Adobe Tech Support a note about it, maybe they can figure out what's going on. By the way, I sometimes switch my settings to "Emulate Illus 6..." and, like you, have had no problems ( but, I'm still in v10 via 10.3.9 ).

Anyone else having difficulty with Adobe Photoshop CC and Epson Stylus Photo R3000?

Everytime I try to print an image from Photoshop CC to my Epson Stylus Photo R3000, it can't seem to find the printer. I have no problem printing the same image from Lightroom 5 or Preview on Mac. The printer shows in the Photoshop Print Dialogue box but after I click Print the print queue just says searching for printer and can't find it. I can print a test page from the printer Utility and anything else I try, just not Photoshop CC. I'm running OSX 10.9 Mavericks. Thanks.

I don't think Lion installed it, rather you did. That said System Preferences>Print & Scan. select your Epson printer and then select Options & Supplies>Driver>Print Using>Select print Software. Then scroll down to the driver you want to use.

Print quality on Epson Stylus Photo R800

Hi...
I'm using Lightroom 3.6 and an Epson Stylus Photo R800. This printer is capable of printing very high quality pictures, as I know by using it for almost 5 years.
I have bought Lightroom about 6 month ago. I have tried anything I can think off to get those fabulus pictures out of my Epson printer. I alterd color managment settings, changed print resolutions, downloaded new printerdriver, ... Nothing works. Print quality when printing from Lightroom is very poor. Bad colors (dark), stripes over the whole image, it looks like nothing realy.
One of the things that I noticed is that the maximum resolution for printing in LR is 720 ppi. My Epson is capable of 1550 ppi.
I see a lot of discussion going about print quality with lightroom... I think however this is a more basic problem. My print qualiti is realy very very bad...
Does anyone have similar problems or (even better) a hint to a solution?
Note,
When I export a picture to .jpg format (I shoot in RAW only), and print this directly from Windows, I do get the perfect picture a was used to... I cannot believe that Lightroom is unable to do the same.

Re: Print quality on Epson Stylus Photo R800
created by c.frans w in Photoshop Lightroom - View the full discussion
I would shine some light on your remark:
One of the things that I noticed is that the maximum resolution for printing in LR is 720 ppi. My Epson is capable of 1550 ppi.
I see a lot of discussion going about print quality with lightroom...

Epson Stylus Photo R2400 won't print large pages?

I recently upgraded to Mac OS X Leopard. I immediately had problems with printing to my Epson Stylus Photo R2400 as a print driver gutenprint had suddenly replace my Epson driver when going thu dialog to print. Called and Epson and they got me thru process of getting rid of the newly replaced gutenprint to an Epson driver. Problem is I can't print anything larger than an 8.5x11 page. The printer set up says and shows me that what I have set as an 11x17 or 13x19 is going to print. But all that prints on this large expensive paper is an area 8.5x8.5. No matter what I change in set up. Epson says they have done all they can do. (And I just found out last week they have replaced this printer with another printer). I have hundreds of dollars in newly purchased inks and I am wasting expensive paper.
Also I had to remove the patch for OS leopard to get the printer to work in this diminished capacity.
And my email signature disappeared. Can't get that back either.
But printer is my biggest problem. Any suggestions how to get this printer to work with this new OS leopard and print large sizes? I have deadlines and hate to outsource the printing when I could easily do it in house.

Well, you picked the very hardest way to do it, and as time goes on, you will probably discover many other things wrong with your system as well. You CANNOT go back to Tiger from Leopard via an archive and install; you have to wipe the drive and start over from scratch, and then transfer all your data over from a backup and reinstall most, if not all, of your applications so the right elements are in the right places. Even so you'll never get your system exactly back to where it was, unless you had a perfect bootable Tiger backup (via SuperDuper) and merely restored from that. Obviously whatever Leopard element that killed your printing capability is still on your frankenstein system of BOTH Tiger and Leopard parts.
There are hundreds of posts on the issue of reverting to Tiger from Leopard, many quite detailed. So many things are changed from upgrading from one to the other that what you attempted (unless you completely wiped the drive and all your data) has always proven disastrous, which is why I highly recommended against it after reading hundreds of horror stories here.
I suggest doing a search at downgrading from Leopard to Tiger, following those instructions if you can, and making the best of it. You'll find that springing the $200 for an external drive would have been a much better and easier solution, because it can come in very handy if you ever need to do any maintenance on your internal hard drive, or if some update or problems kill your internal drive and you can't even boot the system. Not to mention sooner or later always needing more storage capability, and even a drive for reliable backups.
I would never dream of attempting a downgrade or needing to do it in the first place (having taken precautions as to never have to), so I can't give you any further advice than that.

Epson Stylus Photo RX680 with Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter 2 won't pair

This post describes my problem, but I couldn't reply since it has been archived:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7882399&#7882399
I am having the same issue with an Epson Stylus Photo RX680 and their Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter 2. I go to System Preferences -> Bluetooth -> Set Up New Device, click Continue, select Printer, and click Continue. At this point, the Bluetooth Setup Assistant sends me to the Print & Fax System Preferences window. I can add the printer under the Bluetooth heading. It finds the drivers and adds the printer to my printers list, but a test page (or anything else) won't print. The job is added to the queue, but it stops trying to print after a few seconds. If I go to the Bluetooth System Preferences, I can see the printer listed (for a while), and I notice that it is connected but not paired.
If I run the Bluetooth Setup Assistant and select Any Device instead of Printer, I see the printer in the list and can view the Passkey options. It is set to "Use a specific passkey", which is what I need. I have tried changing it to a different option and then changing it back, but it does not seem like this has an effect on how the printer is paired. I have never been asked for a passkey when attempting to add this printer, and I suspect that this is why I cannot print to it.
I have also tried enabling and disabling Bluetooth sharing, and this does not seem to have an effect, whether "require pairing" is checked or not. Isn't there some place where I can choose "Pair this device" once it has been discovered? I find it strange that I can connect to it but have no option to pair afterward (at least that I can find). To make the matter more complicated, the printer disappears from the device list in the Bluetooth System Preferences after about 30 seconds, so I have to remove the printer and reinstall it in order to see the it in the list again.
I am able to print to this printer using bluetooth from a Windows XP machine, so I don't think that there is a problem with the adapter. I am also able to print to this printer using USB, so I don't think that there is a driver problem. I believe (though I certainly could be wrong) that the issue is that the device is not paired. Can anybody help?
Thank you.

I was trying to find a way to use the Epson drivers because the Gutenprint drivers don't support duplexing or feeding out of the front tray on this printer, but at least this got bluetooth printing working. I downloaded the latest Gutenprint drivers (5.2.2), ran the uninstall program first to get rid of the old drivers, and then installed the new ones. I added the printer through the bluetooth heading in the Add Printer dialog, and I selected the RX680 Gutenprint driver (which was not available with the default OS X 10.5.5 installation). Once again, the printer showed up as connected but not paired in the Bluetooth System Preferences, and it disappeared from the device list after a few seconds, but printing works now. The print quality for this printer is much improved by the new drivers as well.
Bluetooth setup is mentioned in the user documentation. It's kind of a joke:
Macintosh computer: Double-click Bluetooth File Exchange in your Utilities folder and follow the on-screen instructions.
That's it. I have been disappointed with this printer on a number of occasions. If you are going to connect directly through USB, then it's probably fine. If you want to use any form of network connectivity, you had better be running Windows on any machine involved.
I'll talk with Epson support to see if I can get any further with their drivers. Since it's supposed to work, I'd like to see if I can get it to happen. Otherwise, I'll return the adapter and share the printer through a spare desktop.
