Cant print to epson 2200 at 100%

HI
I cant seem to print my document (PDF) to my desktop printer at 100%. Every time I print, it reduces the image by about 15%.
Page scaling = none.
i have tried many print options.
The paper is large enough to fit the entire image and also have a reasonable margin.
even the preview shows that should fit.
If I choose a smaller sized paper the preview will sow in grey the areas that wont print.
page setup is correct
set paper size and set to print using the epson 2200 driver
G4 powerbook
OS 10.4.1
Acrobat 7 pro
epson 2200 stylus photo

In order to get help you need to provide more detail about your settings. Perhaps the margins for the paper size you have chosen have print margins that leave a smaller print area than you think. In combination with this is there some sort of "scale to fit" set somewhere?
So what size paper are you printing to, and what is your document page size in Acrobat 7? I have the same printer and may be able to help if you provide more detail.

Color of prints to epson 2200 suddenly shifted.

I am running 10.4.11 and print to an Epson 2200 printer. I am pretty good on profiles and color management.
All of a sudden I am experiencing a color shift on some of my tried and true images. The images are darker and have a green shift and no vibrancy. I have cleaned heads, etc. and checked and rechecked the color management settings. Its like overnight something has changed. I have read posts elsewhere that Snow Leopard can exhibit this change but I am at a loss to explain what has happened. I have done a software update sometime in the last month.

I'm struggling with the same issue with my Epson CX5000 on 10.5.8. Photos are printing darker than they used to, especially in the blue/black colors. Flesh tones look good and sharpness is unchanged. Several black and white prints now have a sepia tint to them as well. Getting same results whether I print from iPhoto or Printshop Elements. Still scouring the net for a solution but I've eaten 3/4 of a cartridge set just trying to resolve this... not cheap at $60 a set.

Printing with Epson 2200 and Lightroom v1.3.1

Ever since installing Leopard and Lightroom v1.3.1 in my PowerMac G5, my Epson 2200 printer produces prints with a very significant magenta cast. Does anyone know of this problem or, better yet, does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance.

I loaded file 11832 from epson us site. This driver v3.0aAs is for v10.4.4 - 10.4.x intel based macs. Even though it's not for leopard? I did this as nothing else work prior for LR. I also downloaded easyprint v3.1bA. I set it to managed by printer then hit print, at this point I set color sync on the pull down tab along with checking the rest of that printer menu such as paper type i.e. glossy profile and the mode to advanced print quality 1440 with the high speed box unchecked. The rendering intent is perceptual & print res at 360 dpi. The print output is at acceptable than most of what I had prior which was lack luster. I did base my start point for LR from the LR book by Scott Kelby. I think the output can be tweaked a bit which is my next endeavor. This did work so I hope that this help's.

InDesign 3.0.1 "CS" won't print to Epson 2200 under Mac OS X 10.5.7

Since upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5.7 my old inDesign, version 3.0.1 in the original CS release, refuses to print. In the Print dialog box, Print Settings area, the Media Type and Ink options are grayed out. A message in the same Print Settings area tells me the ink cartridge combination has been changed and I should delete the printer from the Printer List in the (now defunct) Printer Setup Utility and add the printer again. Have deleted and re-added through the current Print & Fax panel, to no avail. This problem happens only with inDesign. Help!!

Problem solved! I should have checked this first .. downloaded a newer driver from Epson.

Cannot install printer drivers: Epson 2200, Epson XP410, Canon MX350.

Cannot install these dirvers (perhaps others as well?). Respponse from ihstall procedure is that there are no updates on the site.

Some users have found that a reset of the printing system can help with getting the drivers downloaded from Apple.

Any ideas ?
I know the Epson 2200 drivers on Mac have been buggy for years .

You might try resetting the printing system and reinstalling the printer. I know that when I upgraded my system at one point, the borderless printing driver had been folded into the other driver and was available through Page Setup. So you may be trying to use a driver that has been rendered obsolete.

I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

Have you checked the ink cartridges and made sure the nozzles are clear? Are you able to print from outside of iPhoto with the correct color?
Try the following: make temporary copy of the library and do the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Why does my computer restart when trying to print? OSX 10.8.3 epson 2200

I seem to have a problem on my macpro 3,1 3ghz, osx10.8.3 computer when i try to print. When clicking print in any program, it will automatically restart my computer. I've tried resetting the printer settings in system preferences, and when clicking plus to add the printer, it will restart again. The printer is an epson 2200.
I've downloaded the huge printers driver files again, and still nothing. Also tried to fix permissions and that didnt help.
Everything was working fine printing before osx 10.8.3.
Any help would be great.

On the phone today with Senior Apple Tech guys for ovber an hour. I have a case number. They said they hope to have something by Saturday.
I will keep this forum posted if and when I get anything.
In the meantime USB is working just fine.
BTW, spoke with 2 Epson techs and they both said basically talk to Apple, and as far as they knew Apple wasn't supporting Fireire any longer.
It is true that the new machines do not have FW ports. Never the less, the printers were all fine on 10.8.2 and FW so obviously there was a slipup somewhere.
I have had Macs since day one. I consult quite a few photographers and architects on their computers.
In the last several years there have been very few problems, and none that I recall that brought down the whole system.
The old days, yes, but this really startled me. To say nothing of the promised print job I was starting!
Keep the faith that Apple will fix this, and quickly!

Why does my Epson 2200/ Print: Media Type list only 4 of the media types?

For some reason my Epson 2200 when I'm trying to print a photo in Photoshop, and other programs, shows under Print/Presets/Print Settings/Media Type: Plain Paper, Enhanced Matte Paper, Velvet Fine Art Paper and Water Color-Radiant White.
What isn't shown is the rest of the paper media types of: Premium Glossy, Premium Luster, Premium Semi Gloss, Canvas-Luster and a whole host of variations in those types of media. In essence what isn't showing are most of the print profiles from Epson for the different types of paper.
I done everything that I can think of to correct the problem and nothing seems to work. Now it has progressed to the point I'm have the same problem with my Epson Stylus Photo R200.
Both Printers are on USB connections. I've tried deleting the printers from the Printer Setup Utility; running Disk Utility/Repair Permissions; trashing Epson Printer Utility; trashing the preferences from the Home folder; trashing the Epson folder from the HD/Library/Printers folder; and then reinstalling all of those trashed items and deleted items and running Disk Utility/Repair Permissions.
Nothing seems to work! I need help here ..... what am I doing wrong??

I figured it out myself and answered my own question. If you have matte black ink installed when you are trying to print on glossy, the paper type is limited to only that media which black matte ink is specified. You have to switch out the matte ink for photo black ink. Delete the printer from the Printer Setup Utility and reinstall the printer. Whereas with the Photo Black Ink you can print on all types of media.
Nothing like driving yourself crazy over a minor point that puts a cog in the wheels of progress. :O)

Printing on epson cold press bright paper with Epson 2200 in Photoshop CS5

The printer is old. Epson chooses neither to support it, nor does it seem to have anyone in their tech support knowledgeable about paper profiles. The paper is the whitest of white, and a bit thicker and stiffer than any of the usual watercolor papers i have been using for years by the likes of Hannemuele and Arches. The profile that came with this paper is actually made for an Epson 3880 printer, I suspect because the 2200 is no longer supported by Epson.
Usually with any new unsupported paper, I'll experiment within the photoshop print and profile settings, and eventually jerryrig something that looks decent. However, this particular paper is quite expensive, so before I waste a bunch of it, I thought maybe someone on this forum could offer some advise. I have tried printing with it only once so far, using the Apple (1998) profile with Photoshop in charge of printing. The result was that it "almost" works, except the red or oranges won't print at all, and instead, they both print as yellow. I also noticed that the paper ran through the printer much too quickly, as if it wasn't printing all of it.
Immediately after this test, I ran my usual watercolor paper through the printer with the same settings. it printed true, AND, significantly, it took 3 times as long to get the paper all the way through the printer.
Can someone here offer me any guidance? My own next (blind) choice would be to try the Epson 3880 profile that's made for this 13X19 inch paper, and also let the printer control the colors. But what about all the other settings? blackpoint? colormetric? all that stuff. Any help is much appreciated.
One other thing. Even with this throw-away test print, i can tell that the EWpson cold press bright is something special. Both the detail and the color (those colors that were true) were very deep indeed.

Well, my Epson 2200 may be old but it normally does a fantastic job on any paper I throw at it—provided the target profile is accurate and tailored for your particular unit.
It's not clear to me who supplied the target profile you are using to print on that Epson Cold Press Bright Paper, but I'm unaware of of Epson ever having offered a target profile specifiocally for using that paper on the 2200.
Frankly, I never even attempt to use any given photographic paper on my 2200 for which I don't have a custom profile for that specific combination of paper, ink and exact printer model.
My advise is to have a professionally generated profile made by one of the several excellent commercial profiling services that send you one or more target images to print on your printer and then you sent them your prints for them to generate the specific profile by using the best available colorimeter.
Using a profile made for a different printer model borders on the absurd, in my opinion. The least I would accept is a standard profile made by the paper manufacturer on a range of units of that specific printer model, and I would still not be as comfortable as with a specific profile derived from target-image prints made for my particular 2200 unit.
The prices for this service vary widely from one service outfit to another one, and some are very reasonable (try Inkjetart<===click* for the $25 price range, for instance). In most instances, it can be considerably cheaper than the amount of wasted ink and paper from repeated and futile trial-and-error attempts to get an optimal print from your 2200.
* I have no connection to Inkjetart whatsoever,

Windows vista/photoshop CS4/epson 2200 printer interdiction

my previous computer used windows xp and worked fine with cs4 and the epson 2200. unfortunately, I have never been able to get this fairly new 64 bit vista system to work with cs4 and the epson 2200. I have downloaded the 64 bit driver from epson and after talking with epson tech support it seems it is not the printer. I have tried virtually every combination of deleting/reinstalling the driver, every combination of "letting printer manage colors" and letting photoshop manage colors, etc. in the past, I have let photoshop manage colors. then miraculously, i let the printer manage colors and it worked for a day or two and then it went back to the same muddy off color mess. now, it looks the same no matter what I do. somehow, it seems as if my windows program isn't interfacing with the printer. if anyone has even the slightest suggestion of what to do next i would appreciate it. other wise, i may just upgrade to windows seven to see if that works any better.

I knew Vista had a dislike for IDE
Thanks for sharing that piece of info. I might add, though, that Vista not per se dislikes IDE, it just does not like some IDE commands and running such disks in compatibility mode, which in part of course also depends not only on the disk, but also the motherboard or specific drivers that may be required. Anyway, given the low price of harddrives, replacing an old drive with a new SATA should be a nobrainer for most people...

Printing from PPC G5 to Mac Mini with Epson 2200

I'm having a terrible time, trying to figure out what went wrong with printing to my Epson 2200, using my brand new Mac mini as a print server, since I set up my new Mac mini this morning. I have an Epson Stylus Color 2200 USB printer attached to the Mini, and I am trying to print out of Photoshop CS3 from my ethernet networked Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5, using the mini as a print server.
I put the Intel print driver for the Epson on the new mini and all the Epson print options are available and I can print fine from Photoshop on it. But, when I try to print from the G5, I don't have all the print options available for the Epson; specifically the Print Settings and Color Management option boxes from the Print dialog box, that are usually available when printing out of Photoshop to the Epson.
I bought the mini to replace the old MDD G4 that I'd been using (with no printing problems) for years.
Something happened to mess up my printing options since changing over to the mini, but I just can't for the life of me figure out what to do! Any suggestions would be very, very appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

In case anyone else is having this same problem, I was given teh solution on the Adobe Photoshop User to User Forum:
Try installing the latest appropriate version of the driver on both machines, and then manually drag the Library/Printers/Epson folder (the root Library folder, not the one in your Home folder) from the Intel machine to the same place on the PowerPC G5.
This worked like a charm.

Epson 2200 printer options missing in Leopard

I've just spent almost an hour with Apple Support and they were not able to help with this issue, despite the fact that a quick Google search shows that I'm not the only person with this problem.
I'm using the most recent Epson drivers from the Epson website and although I can print, I cannot select any paper types, resolution, double sided printing, high-speed, etc. I've tried to reset the printer queue, I've deleted all the driver from my Library>Printer folder and reinstalled... NOTHING.
Anyone have any suggestions? I've done several searches and followed the various procedures others have recommended to no avail.

I have no trouble printing to my 2200 using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, and Preview.
What drivers are you using Epsons or Gutenprint? I am using the Epson one (ver 3.09)
You can find out the drivers by opening System Preferences -> Printers Select the Epson and then click on Open PRint Queue, click on the 'i' Info button in the print queue to see the version.
I think you need to use Epson's. I downloaded them from their site and installed them. I also downloaded there paper profiles and installed them.
Finding the "handle" to get to the things you want to set was, and to some degree, still is, a bit obscure to me being relatively new to the Mac (and loving it!)
Using Preview as an example open an image and: Select File -> Print
In the middle of the column of various Settings you will see Preview click on it and you see a bunch of choices like: Page Settings, Color management, Print Settings etc. Each of these changes the options ans let's you select paper size, paper type, print speed who manages color etc.
In Photoshop CS3
You select some of the options in (Photoshop File -> Print and the rest after you hit Print which gets you the Mac OS X Print dialog. In this case "Layout" is in the middle box instead of "Preview" but clicking on it reveals the same option dialogs.
There is a similar thread [here|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1669867] for the moment I'm working with him directly as we're into some nitty gritty specifics but I expect we'll summarize some of the results when we're done.
If this doesn't help give us some specifics of what/how you're trying to print.

How to print at 1440, 2880 dpi now? Epson 2200.

The dropdown is gone to choose hi-rez. Now I just get 180, 360, 720.
I have: Epson 2200, Leopard, just installed Epson 2200 drivers.
Thx

Same problem here (except for no 180). The options seem to be very restricted despite the fact that the printer settings say that I have the latest driver installed. Epson R1800.

Red prints from PS CS5 on Epson 2200

Printing problem on Epson 2200 from PS CS5, version 12.1 and from LR 3.6, running Mac 10.7.5. Prints are severely red cast, the way I remember them to look before I learned to shut off the printer driver. This is not just a little variation in color, but weird red prints. After contaccting Epson and printing successfully from Preview, they said it was an Adobe problem and I should contact Adobe. Epson said it is also happening with the 3880. Until very recently I have always had satisfactory prints. The issue started last night and I can't resolve it.

Your Photoshop preferences. Use the shortcut keys to delete the preferences as your starting Photoshop. I do not know if Photoshop store preferences for devices in its preferences. I do know that Photoshop stores print information in saved documents and also accesses device information the it may save in its preferences. I know on my Windows machines I had red tinging problems on my Epson 4800 which was solved by resetting my Photoshop Preferences.
