Anyone using epson 4990 photo & avasys driver? Experienc

I think about purchasing a "Scanner Epson Perfection 4990 Photo" flatbet scanner, to scan this and that - and to scan photos, dias, negatives.
So, bevore waisting my money, I would ask you if anyhone can tell me about how this thing works in archlinux, how the driver (http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_scan.html) and software behaves. Any experiences?
Furthermore, if anyone uses a different scanner for this jobs, please tell me about it.

I am unsure about the dependencies, it compiled fine here. Maybe anyone would give it a try, see supported scanners here:

Mac PSE9 Epson 4990 Photo Scanner support

I just installed PSE9 on an iMac (Snow Leopard). PSE9 does not see the Epson 4990 Photo scanner in the "import" option.
This scanner shows up on this computer in the "import" option in PSE8. Both versions of PSE are installed on this computer
The latests version of the scanner driver is installed.
What can I do to make the scanner work in PSE9?
Thanks.

Epson scanners rely on the adobe TWAIN driver, which is not installed by default in PSE 9. Go to Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 9>Optional Plug-Ins>ImportModules, and move TWAIN.plugin from there into Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 9>Plug-Ins>ImportModules.

Does anyone use a LaCie external hard drive with their Mac using imovie '09? I have some questions.

Does anyone use a LaCie external hard drive with their Mac using imovie '09? I have some questions.

Are you actually having a problem with the new Lacie drive, or are you just asking is the Lacie drive somehow different from your old G-Drive?
From a connection standpoint, most Lacie desktop drives have both USB and FireWire connections, just like the G-Drives do. You would connect and use it the same as a G-Drive.
Regarding capturing to the external HD, if you are using a camcorder that has FireWire (iLink) connection, it is not advisable to have an external FireWire HD connected to your Mac at the same time as your camcorder; there are often communication conflicts between the camcorder and the hard drive if they are connected at the same time. The conflicts usually appear as either dropped frames or a complete freeze. This is more common with Canon miniDV camcorders but I have also seen this behavior with Sony miniDV camcorders. (The problem is the camcorder's FW implementation, not the hard drive.) The workaround is to capture to your Mac's internal HD and later copy the captured video to your external HD.

Can't print using Epson Stylus Photo R300

I am new to Mac ownership and have been having issues since updating to OS10.4.9. I have an Epson Stylus Photo R300 and have been using CUPS and Gimprint to print w/o a problem (OK, I had to call tech support and spent 10 hours getting it figured out) Now, for no reason my computer won't print again. I'm not sure what the issue is. Nothing has changed. I use a wireless print server connected to my wireless router. I've tried everything today. I'd removed all print drivers, CUPS and Gimprint and reinstalled. I've tried checking to see if the router has a different IP but nothing is working.
When I go to print the utility will spool the printing and then tell me the printer is busy and it will try again later.. then it times out. I've cleared the print history and jobs but still get the message. The only time I got anything close to printing was when I selected default browser, selected the wireless router but it chose Apple talk at the communication so I just got syntax stuff to print. Nothing in English.
So any help from ANYONE would be appreciative because Apple wasn't helpful when I called today.

Is there any reason why you're not using the standard Epson supported driver? It's available here

Mavericks AND Epson Stylus Photo R280-driver?

I just removed one EPSON Stylus Photo R280 and plugged in another one of the same model. Can't find the printer when I send something to print, so I deleted the printer from my printer list and then added it back. It wants to go to the Apple server and get the software, which it says is available. When I hit add, it looks and says software is not available. The old printer was runnning printing fine, so obviously there is a driver. How do I get it to recognize it?

What if you try deleting the /Library/Printer/EPSON and the/Library/Caches/Epson/ folders and then reinstalling the updates?

Printing from Elements 8 using Epson Stylus Photo R300

Help! I'm really quite useless at all this computer stuff, and my problem is slowly driving me mad!!! I am trying, unsuccessfully, to print from Elements 8 using an Espon Stylus Photo R300. However, I dont know what settings to use. I can get prints - but they dont represent what I see on the monitor. I have tried using Picasa and the representation on the print isnt too far removed from that on the monitor. iPhoto is slightly worse. Can anyone tell me in simple english what settings I need to use - I have seen other discussions on the same topic and think that color management should be done by the Elements 8 and not the printer? Any help would be very much appreciated - before I lose it all together

Hi Syd. I was out on the web and saw where you respond to a message about printing using R300 printer. If you can help me that would be great.. this is the message that I sent Jayne who was having a problem..
Hi Jayne,
Did you get you problem resolved. I am experiencing the same problem with with element 8 and Epson r300 printer. I tried both support groups Adobe wanted me to upgrade to element 9. and Epson gave me the phone running. I have taking the printer to a Epson service center and the printer is working fine. I have change the various options in the software and no sucess. I had one image that I only crop and it the colors came out wrong. Now if I don't touch the image and just print it the colors come out fine.. So please let me know if you got it resolved.

Anyone using a LaCie external SATA drive?

LaCie has a "LaCie Two Big with PCI-E Card 2-Disk RAID System with SATA II" which might work for my purposes.
I'm using a late 2005 G5 Quad with PCI-Express slots. I wonder if anyone with a similar G5 has tried this drive and might say what their experience with it and the included PCI-Express card has been?
Thanks, denny

No experience with that particular LaCie or PCI-e. However, I have some experience with LaCie external FW drives, Granite Digital SATA drive(s)/enclosures with a Highpoint PCI-X card and a MacGurus SATA II drive/enclosure with the Sonnet PCI-X card and of the bunch I MUCH prefer the MacGurus. Sold all my LaCie drives after having to send a 500GB drive back... and then it came back still broke. THe only FW drives I have left are "old" G-Tech drives. The Granite Digital is OK, but LOUD. I love everything about the MacGurus enclosure, especially port multiplication.

Anyone use RAID as their boot drive ?

I just set up 2 x 500 Gb as a raid 0 via the disk utilites then install Snow Leopard. To my suprise, i hardly see/feel any speed improvement and actually opening and closing folders seem longer. Anyone notice this ???

All depends on the drive's performance, your needs and expectations I would guess.
I had never really found it essential but those working with heavy large CS4 files can. And to use RAID0 for scratch; for media.
Today, I think SSD is best bet or a pair 60GB, or WD 10K 600GB VelociRaptor, etc.
And keep everything that is not OS and apps related on another array or hard drive.
When I was using 15K boot drive, two just gave me larger volume was all, but having an array of two 10K drives for data/media along with 15K, yes.

Anyone using epson nx300 w/10.5.8

recently purchased new mac book pro (10.5.8) I'm unable to print via airport extreme (5.7). I can however print when connected directly to my computer. I've called apple to no avail, reinstalled epson software, rebooted/rebuilt airport extreme, called epson to no avail, any suggestions? Also, just as side note I can still print via the same airport with my older iBook (10.3.8)

I'm having the EXACT same problem - I just don't know (given that this is the third printer I've had attached to the Windows system that I am not able to print to via Airport) if my Macbook Pro is even able to print to printers that aren't directly attached to it.
Attaching the NX300 directly to the computer seems to work (obviously) as it is with you, but that negates the whole idea of having a laptop I can work anywhere in the house with and I'm just not that impressed with wireless printers in general.

Borderless A3 portrait using epson R1500w

How do we print A3 size borderless portrait using Epson stylus photo R1500w from Lightroom3

With any borderless printing you have to select a paper size that is explicitly named "Borderless".
In the Print Module, left side bottom, just above the film strip click on <Page Setup>, and in the dialog box under Paper / Size select a paper "Borderless A3".
The paper named "borderless" includes instructions for the printer to print to the edge of the paper. Without it your printer will always print with boders, and in Lr you cannot resize the image cell size to the edge of the paper either.
Naturally, this works only if your printer is capable of borderless printing.

Try using the pre installed Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Connect the scanner to your Mac whether Wi-Fi or USB.
Launch Image Capture.
Click the very small black box bottom left side of the Image Capture window.
You'll see this pop up menu: Connecting this (device) opens:
You can select a default app to scan (Image Capture) and select a folder from the Imort To pop up menu on the right to save scanned files to.

Problems printing using iPhoto and Epson Stylus Photo R2400

I'm using OS 10.5.6 and iPhoto 8.0.2(402) to print pictures on my Epson Stylus Photo R2400.
I have other printers set up on this computer and they all print everything just fine regardless of the program I am using.
Using the Epson Stylus, I'm able to print from any other program than iPhoto.
When I try to print pictures from iPhoto, I get the error message...
can't open ` /private/var/spool/cups/tmp/4a18c65407c9b (the numbers at the end changes each time I try to print.
When I go in to check the folders out to see what might be causing the problem, the permissions on the folder cups and tmp have the following rights set up. system = Read & Write, _lp = No Access, everyone = No Access.
I've been able to set the everyone setting to equal Read & Write access, but I can't get the _lp access to change. When I reboot the computer, the everyone setting goes back to No Access.
Any ideas for how I can get this to work?
Thanks,
Bill

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't have a tried and true fix for that but I would start with dumping the printer driver via the System/Print pane and then reinstall it. Go to the Epson site to download the latest driver for that particular model in case there's a newer one released.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.
