Can't get a good print with Tiger - Epson R300

Hi, I have a year old imac - tiger - photoshop CS3 -
I have a printer Epson R300 that worked Great! with my older mac/older photoshop.
I have tried many things to try to get a decent print.
I scan in paintings using bright colors with lots of details in the color.
All the prints come out not great, when this printer used to give me beautiful prints with older mac.
Am I barking up the wrong tree?
Does the R300 just not cut it with this new spiffy computer?
I wish i never got rid of my other computer. It was slow, but great.
I have done considerable research and tried things and made notes on my prints. All prints are substandard from my point of view.
Any help would be appreciated. I need the step by step help.
I'm not that good at computers.
thanks!

Odds are very high that the problem is not with your OS (assuming you are on 10.4.11), your Mac or the Epson printer (assuming that you have recently downloaded and re-installed the very latest Epson driver).
Odds are that your color management setup is flawed. Carefully follow the steps at
Good luck!

How can I get calendar to print with appointments?

My iCloud calendar prints blank dates on my pc.

The Photo checkbox is one of those shown in the Print dialogue, which appears when you select Print from the File menu in Contacts.
It's not a question of printing a single contact with its photo, but of printing a list of contacts with their corresponding photos. This seems not to work in Mountain Lion, despite the presence of the Photo checkbox.

I have a Mac Air.. with 10.10 and just purchased a HP laserjet pro M201dw .. I can't get it to print duplex in pages or word. In pages not highlighted. does in Adobe for pdf. Help!

I have a Mac Air with 10.10 . Just purchased a HP Laserjet Pro M201dw printer. I can not get the duplex printing to work in Word or Pages. It does work for PDF files in Acrobat Pro. It won't for emails. In Pages I see two- sided but it is dimmed. I look at setups and it shows two -sided is off but can't find a way to change this setting. In the printer setting itself, the duplex box is checked. Need help. Did notice the driver only goes up to 10.9 but it says on Apple site of supported printers this one is listed.
Appreciate help in solving this issue.
Thanks in advance for anyone willing to give me some time and assistance.

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

How can I get Lion to work with label printer- Brother QL 570 or Dymo 450 Turbo?

I can't get Lion to work with label printers, either Brother QL 570 or Dymo Turbo 450. I want to uninstall Lion and use Snow Leopard unless there is a way to make Lion work with these devices. Any ideas?

Dymo has released new drivers since Lion came out. Have you downloaded and
installed them from the Dymo website?
Some people have said that their Dymo label printers were set to off line by Lion, but
worked fine after going to Print & Scan, selecting the Dymo printer, and making sure
it was active/on-line. I had to do that with my Dymo 450 Label Writer.
I cannot offer any tips about Brother, but you may wish to check their website
for latest drivers.

My printer is a fairly new all-in-one Brother MFC-7860 DW. It is not listed in the iPad AirPrint printers. Can I get it to work with my new iPad2?

My printer is a fairly new all-in-one Brother MFC-7860 DW. It is not listed in the iPad AirPrint printers. Can I get it to work with my new iPad2?

If it's not an Airprint enabled printer, you can not natively through your iPad. BUT, there are apps you can purchase in the App Store, like Print Central ($9), which is what I use myself and works well for my needs.

I can't get this to print keeps telling me that my ip is not compatible with ip on pc

hello, I am running windows xp Ijust bought a HP Officejet 4500 G510n All-in-one series printer and I can not get it hooked up with my wireless network It is telling me that my IP 169.254.162.171 which is not compatiable with the IP address 74.75.18.116 of the PC I don't no how to change these things. Please help

It sounds like the printer is not on the network since it has an address of 169.254.X.X which is a place holder in the printer.
What brand and model is the router?
Perform these steps on the printer:
Press the Setup button ( ) on the product control panel.
Press the Arrow buttons ( ) to highlight Wireless Menu , and then press OK .
Press the Arrow buttons ( ) to highlight Setup Wizard , and then press OK .
The Wireless Setup Wizard searches for networks, and then displays them in a list.
Press the Arrow buttons ( ) to highlight the network name (SSID) that you gathered in the previous step, and then press OK .
If prompted, enter the WPA or WEP key:
Use the alphanumeric keypad on the product control panel to enter the passphrase.
NOTE:Make sure that you enter the uppercase (capital) and lowercase (small) letters exactly. Otherwise, the wireless connection fails.
When you finish entering the passphrase, press OK .
This should connect the printer to a standard wireless network that is using WEP or WPA. I recommend using WPA over WEP as it is more secure, but this is set in the router.
Let me know what happens.

HOW can I get a GOOD copy of the iTunes software for my desktop?

I solved MY corrupt firmware file problem!
A little background- I deleted all Apple, iPod, and QuickTime software from my desktop PC and reloaded iTunes for the (I don't know how many) time. Same thing! Downloaded it again and used the "erase iTunes" option then reloaded again and had the same result. I then cranked up my old laptop and when I got to the Apple website, I was offered an opportunity to download QuickTime and took it. It came with iTunes if I wanted, so I took that too. After the download, I plugged in the Nano and it restored to Windows format. I did not want it to sync to the laptop, so I took it to the desktop and was able to sync with Nano and downloaded my tunes. TALK ABOUT HOKEY!
WHY does the restore program have to be resident on MY PC or MAC anyway? Seems like I could just as simply download a current copy from Apple every time I want to restore.
WHY doesn't Apple do something about this problem and let users know about the solution? Do they not want to grab a share of the Windows business? Here is an excellent opportunity!
Now for my question.
HOW can I get a GOOD copy of the iTunes software for my desktop? I now know it works! Is there a hidden file or folder I should delete before I make my next attempt to cleanup and download? Why isn't this information public?
I spent over 30 years in the DP industry. PC is not my area of expertise, but this must be the most frustrating experience of my years.
desktop Windows XP

I THINK I have solved the problem. Can't be 100% because I don't want to try a restore. At least the Apple home page lites up correctly with quicktime now. It hadn't in the past.
Thank you for your assistance. - LRB

HT3258 I have a Brother MFC-J4610DW and can't get it to print from my 2012 iMac over my lan.

I have a Brother MFC-J4610DW and can't get it to print from my 2012 iMac over my lan. It works with the macbook pro and iPad. The dialog box states "Setting up 'BrotherMFC-J4610..." Unable to communicate." I worked with the AppleCare guy for a couple of hours. We got it to print via USB but when we switched to ethernet hook up via Time Capsule it won't communicate or install the printer.

Try two things (separately, trying to add the printer in Print & Scan/fax prefs after each):
Reset the printing system:

Reset the router - power it off for 15 secs, then back on. Some routers cause these kinds of errors - not recognizing devices are present.

Can't get iPad to print

Can't get iPad to print. Bought new printer for air print. When tell to print it searches for printer, but always says not printer found

Hmm, interesting that sites like airprint activator and others have sprung up to support the what seems like a problem with ipad wireless printing....and reading the many discussions here, it seem there is still a big problem between the devices that everyone has a different take on....I'm just glad I don't HAVE to print from my iPad......cause it ain't happened...

How can I get it to print output of inputstream?

Please forgive me for running two similar thread but the other thread ahs strayed from primal concern of coding.
Some help with the code please???
I have set up an inputstream and outputstream to the "ftp process" of java.lang.Runtime I have sent the command "dir" to ftp.
But How can I get it to print all the files etc of the "dir" sent to ftp process?
Also I have just read that it is perhaps better to buffer the STREAMS.
How do I do this for outputsteam? I think I have some clue to do for inputstream with bufferedreader?
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;
public class RuntimeFTP{
public static void main(String[] arg){
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
String[] callAndArgs = { "ftp.exe", "jaguar.wmin.ac.uk" };
Process process = null;
OutputStream os = null;
InputStream is = null;
String login = "w0109699";
String password = "11041976";
String dircommand = "dir";
byte[] barraylogin = login.getBytes();
byte[] barraypassword = password.getBytes();
byte[] barraydircommand = dircommand.getBytes();
try
process = rt.exec(callAndArgs);
process.waitFor();
System.out.println("Process exit code is: " + process.exitValue() );
catch(IOException e)
System.err.println("IOException starting process!");
catch(InterruptedException e)
System.out.println("Interrupted waiting for process!");
try
os = process.getOutputStream();
os.write(barraylogin);
os.write(barraypassword);
os.write(barraydircommand);
catch(IOException io)
System.out.println("io exception write to outputstream");
try
is = process.getInputStream();
while (is.read() != -1)
How can I print the data to the user
i.e all the data obtained from the "dir" command sent to ftp?????????
catch(IOException io)
System.out.println("io exception read fron inputstream");

the above code does not work so I have abondaned it.
I want to integrate an ftp program into a program I am working on. I have scoured the net for reuse able code and come across a "t or Linlyn ftp program" which claims is easily integrate able into larger applications.
The problem is did does not seem to work and gives me errors. I would be grateful if someone could tell me why I am getting the error, here is the error:

I would also be grateful if someone could try out the program and tell me if it works for them, then I could determine if it is because ftp clients are being blocked by my server. The ftp program is very small, here is the url:

1) compile the code
2) fill in everywhere it requests "your-server" "username" and "password"
3) to run appletviewer t.java
