Are Adobe, Epson, & Apple all in step with Snow Leopard?

In light of the Lightroom printing debacle when Leopard came on the scene, it would be really interesting to hear from others once they have experience of printing out of Lr onto Epson Stylus Photo printers under the new Snow Leopard OS; due out I believe on Friday.

FWIW, in response to the OPs inquiry-
I have updated from 10.5.8 on a MacBook Pro to 10.6. I have an Epson R2880 (previously an R2400) with the latest 6.57 driver. I am using LR 2.4 (64bit) and CS4. I have been afflicted with the dreaded "dark prints" since the R2400 and LR 1.0. Immediately after the update, I opened LR and proceeded to print a sample photo from a preset used with Red River Arctic Polar Satin with the supplied RR icc profile. The printer dialog was NOT as expansive, "Printer Setup" was missing. I printed anyway, with the limited options, not being able to verify the options. The print left me awestruck. I have kept various samples from past experiments. This last photo was...stunning. It is a dawn landscape of the summer Maine coast. For the first time in my experience with LR and Epson, the print was accurate to the display. The colors are accurate and vivid. The detail in the foliage, flowers and rocks is much superior to the past samples. The ONLY difference in my process was the upgrade to 10.6! I was concerned with the difference in the print dialog. Reading this thread and others (including the Epson website), it was recommended to install Rosetta as part of the optional post installation. I did the install. The options (and previous selections) for the printer dialog REAPPEARED as with 10.5.8! I printed another sample of the same photo. It was happily identical. I then printer the photo in CS4 with the "same" setting. The print was identical to the LR print.
I am one happy camper.

  • Is adobe photoshop lightroom 2.0 compatible with snow leopard (10.6) ?

    adobe photoshop lightroom 2.0 compatible with snow leopard (10.6) ?

    The official line is yes. However, some users have experienced some problems. Whether these are due to incompatibility or problems resulting from the upgrade process is not yet clear.
    The only acknowledge issue relates to Edit in Photoshop command not transferring images for Photomerge or as Smart Objects.
    Note: Except for above, I'm running Lr 2.4 on a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard without issue.

  • Does anyone know if Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 is compatible with 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:

    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.

  • So, the least problematic all-in-one with Snow Leopard is....?

    Like many of you, I've had nothing but trouble with printing/scanning since installing Snow Leopard, and Lexmark has been no help at all with updating drivers. I've reinstalled their supposedly updated-for-S-L driver at least 10 times now, and I'm sick of it.
    What's the consensus as to the least problematic printer/scanner to use with Snow Leopard?

    I have a Canon at home and an Epson Artisan 800 at work. No problems at all with either of them with printing or scanning.
    The Epson was a recent purchase so it's only run on Snow Leopard, but the Canon is over a year old and never had a problem after installing SL.

  • Epson C88 Won't Print with Snow Leopard

    C88 won't print using Snow Leopard. Downloaded driver from Epson doesn't help.????

    Like you, I'm working with an Epson C-88+. Happy with this situation, would not be exactly accurate. I have tried some different approaches, including the ones from John and Kappy. They would work just fine for about 3 days, then fail. I even went back to the Snow Leopard Install DVD/ Optional Installs/ Options.MPKG/ Printer Support and made a choice. I then went to Disk First Aid and everything was fine. Today, I went to print 1 envelope, total dismal failure. I then downloaded the EPSON Printer Drivers 2.1, I proceeded to install the drivers. Did anybody notice, this was an Apple License, not an EPSON License? Therefore, there are no assurances, that these print drivers are in fact, EPSON. Therefore, AppleCare should be required to support these Print Drivers as Apple Licensed Products. But equally so, we as 'dumb endusers' must try to work with AppleCare to solve this issue. To "pete.purvis" John and Kappy, sorry, you guys have proven yourselves to be out of the "dumb endusers group, I just want to say, THANK YOU!

  • Epson R800 does work well with Snow Leopard

    Three machines.
    MacPro and MacBook Pro worked from get-go after installation of new Epson drivers (check Epson site for new drivers) with Epson R800 and R1800 on firewire.
    Old Intel iMac did not work until I disconnected firewire and tried USB. Then all became sweetness and light. Thanks to a suggestion in this forum.

  • How Do I Use My Apple LaserWriter IIg Ethernet with Snow Leopard?

    How do I get my LaserWriter IIg ethernet printer to work with 10.6 Snow Leopard? Cannot seem to find the printer listed in any of the "add a printer" menus. The driver is listed as part of OS 10.6. If I need an IP Address, how do I find out what its IP Address is?

    (OK, I am confused because the Apple LaserWriter IIg has a built-in ethernet card so for the past few years and until last Sunday (thru OS 10.5) I've simply run the ethernet cable through an Asante FriendlyNet Adapter that runs over to my Ethernet hub and everything has printed fine. Plus I was able to share the printer with other computers around the house. Maybe you are saying that internally the printer communicates to the ethernet card via AppleTalk?)
    Unfortunately I cannot find my notes on what IP address I've been using the past few years. I came to the conclusion that I should use the ethernet address which I think is 192.168.0.3, but that hasn't worked. I also tried 192.168.0.1 and 0.0.0.0.
    I am adding these using the LPD option in the Add Printer dialog box.
    In each case, it adds the printer, I can send a job to the print queue but it doesn't send the job anywhere and keeps trying every 15 seconds.
    Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated!

  • Does the Apple Hardware test come with Snow Leopard?

    Does the Apple Hardware test come with my iMac 27" i7?
    If so, how is this activated and is it used as a periodic test or only when a problem develops?
    Thanks

    The Hardware Test will be on the Install DVD(s) that comes with your iMac. With the correct DVD inserted, (re)start the iMac while pressing & holding the "D" key to start into the HT. Run it anytime you want to check the hardware.

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Try Epson's driver: epson13615.dmg. I'd post the URL, but it's amazingly long. You can find it on Epson's Web site (http://www.epson.com). Start at this URL

  • Is it possible to order an iMac specifically with Snow Leopard, in preference to Lion, say, by the end of this year (as a Christmas gift)?

    I want to buy an iMac as a Christmas gift this year and wondered if it may be possible to specifically order one with Snow Leopard? By then I imagine all machines available for sale are likely to have Lion pre-loaded, hence my question.
    If I could buy one now, I would, as there are many around still with Snow Leopard - but sadly I can't manage it just at the moment.
    Thanks
    Ross

    Thanks folks, I realise this is just a user forum of course, I was just wondering if anyone had previous experience with buying a Mac with an older system on it at a time of changeover like this. A friend has just bought a new one from an Apple store this week with Snow Leopard on it - not surprising given the newness of Lion, but I was curious to know if anyone had experience with being given a choice during a system upgrade.
    And who knows...maybe Apple do look in at the forums to see what people are asking????
    Thanks

  • Flash, Adobe Air, Time Machine, Safari not  working with Snow Leopard

    Really need some help with this.
    Did an archive and install of Leopard then installed Snow Leopard. No problems yet.
    90% of Video sites would not work. Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash. Uninstalled ShockWave, could not reinstall with 10.6.1.
    Attempt to install adobe air, received this message: "couldn't write the application to hard drive - please verify and try again." performed verify disk, disk permissions, repair permissions all ok.
    Attempted to install Air again, same message.
    Tried to use Time Machine to open Safari from a week ago, received message: I did not have permission.
    Using Macbook Pro, 2g memory, 80g hd, with 42g free.
    Backed up on ext. HD,
    Oh, one more, getting a lot of spinning wheels when using Safari that causes a lockup and hard re-start.
    I have an expensive piece of software that uses adobe air and I create videos for my business and I'm not able to do so now.
    Can anyone give me any ideas what I can do.
    Thanks,

    After a couple of days of problems with Snow Leopard and flash, safari etc... I figured out the problem is with my account.
    I created a new admin account and everything seems to be working. Well almost.
    a couple of things I've noticed are right clicking on dock icons does nothing, no option to quit or keep in dock.
    Apple Techs', had me change my account months ago to fix a problem with safari crashing. It didn't really work and more problems resulted.
    *So now my big question is: How do I move need items over to the new account.* I don't want to move everything over as I might bring what caused the problem in the first place.
    What I need are several apps,(like ilife, iwork, firefox, devonthink, 1password etc.) downloads, desktop, docs, files, and book marks.
    *What is the best way for me to do this?* Is there anything I need to do re: Snow Leopard on the new account?
    I feel like I have a new and functioning Mac again just around the corner.
    Looking for your help, thanks,
    Z

  • How do i run my epson stylus r2400 with snow leopard?

    i recently updated my imac with the snow peopard software, but now my epson r2400 stylus printer will not work with the computer. at first the color was off, adding a blue cast and over saturating. so i went to epson and did additional updates as suggested in other posts. one i did this, the printer would not work at all as if the computer wasn't even connected. is there a way to run my r2400 with snow leopard or is time to upgrade my printer? and if so, what is a comparable printer that would also run with mounain lion?
    thanks!

    Hello taracass3,
    You may want to remove any existing queues for the printer in your Print & Fax preferences pane, then re-add the printer. If it's still not working correctly, I'd recommend resetting the printing system.
    To delete a Print Queue
    Click the print queue you would like to remove from the list in the "Printers" pane.
    Click the - (minus) button below the "Printers" pane.
    Click "Delete Printer" in the "Are you sure..." confirmation sheet.
    To reset the printing system (if necessary)
    Control-click or right-click a print queue in the "Printers" pane.
    Choose "Reset printing system..." from the contextual menu.
    Click "OK" in the "Are you sure..." confirmation sheet.
