Epson 3800 Leopard printer driver settings

Hi,
I know that many people here have had success with the new v6.5 3800 printer driver available on Epson's UK web site. I too find that it's working well, however some of the setting aren't ovbious and I was hoping that someone could shed some light.
I'm not in front of my machine, so please excuse any minor inconsistancies.
1) From the "Colour" Pane, I can choose either ColorSync or Epson Color controls. I find it odd that "No colour management" isn't an option here. Furthermore, later in the evening these two options became greyed out, and I couldn't find any way to reactivate them. What's happening?
2) The "Print Settings" pane also has color controls. Here, we can choose between "No Colour Management" and a series of Epson picture styles such as Vivid photos or, very oddly, Adobe RGB. The choice of this setting has no effect on the "greyout-ness" of the ColorSync Options above.
My problem lies in understanding how these options are tied to each other. For example, I can choose "No colour Management" from the second pane but then choose "ColorSync" from the first. Which will take priority?
It's also not clear to me how you *would* let the printer manage the colours. The second pane doesn't have a simple "ColorSync" option, either you have no colour management or you have the Epson print styles, neither of which are what is required.
Choosing to let the printer manage the colours or not from the Lightroom print settings doesn't seem to make any difference either. I thought that this was now all tied together some how in the latest drivers.

I'm based in the UK and testing the new Epson driver for the R2400 and seeing exactly the same bugs, errors, feature (take your pick) as you are.
This testing is on a clean testbed partition containing OS 10.5.1, Lightroom 1.3 and Creative Suite 3 with latest updates installed for all applications. Printing from Photoshop C3 under 10.5.1 via the new driver appears to work, not tested other applications in suite yet.
This seems to point to a Lightroom bug but that's just my opinion.
Profiles I'm trying to use are custom made using the i1Match software v3.6.2 and worked fine in Tiger for all applications including Lightroom. This really is getting tiresome, why can't people simply work on improving what we have rather than trying to redesigning software that we have come to trust and rely to earn our living. Yes there are alternatives but I've just settled into our new workflow, of which Lightroom plays a major part.
Hope someone can shed light on these issues and possibly supply us with an idea of a fix. I was wondering if Jeff Schewe or Ian Lyons have tried any of these combinations and have any information on the situation. Guys???
Here's hoping for an early Christmas pressie!

Print Driver Settings Not Saving at Print Dialog [IDCS3, Vista]

Hi. On our only design machine that runs Vista, when the user tries to print something from InDesign CS3 and has to turn on duplexing in the printer driver setup, on clicking OK, those settings immediately go away, and thus the document will not print duplexed. It works fine on our XP machines.
A workaround is to set such printer driver settings via Vista's Control Panel, and this does work, however it's a bit cumbersome, since we print all kinds of documents.
Pertaining Specs:
- Adobe InDesign CS3 (5.0.3) for Windows
- Vista Home SP1 (I think)
- Konica-Minolta Bizhub C500
- EFI Fiery 2.01 Driver for Vista / PostScript / Image Controller 405
It's similar to this issue, but the specs differ:
Michael C Stone, "Indesign documents reset printer settings IDCS2 XPSP2" #, 14 Jun 2008 5:19 pm

It does say, "Double-sided: Yes," in Windows' printer properties for the Bizhub PS (and PCL) Fiery driver(s) -- in fact, this may have been from me turning it on for the PS driver in Windows Registry, as it was off for some reason, but seemed to make no real difference anyway -- but I think the duplexing option would have been grayed-out in the Fiery driver's dialog if not available as some various other options are -- the driver has the capability to poll the device for such options availability -- and I don't actually see anything duplexing-related on the Installable Options tab, but the Installed list is identical to one of our XP computers with no apparent issues with printing to the drivers from InDesign -- although at one point, if a Vista user printed an InDesign document and saved it (and thus the printer settings), XP users for some reason couldn't print the document without forcing a change in the print driver settings, but I believe this was due to using the same drivers but different TCP/IP port configurations per machine (Vista doesn't need the IP_ prefix as XP seems to).

Change print driver settings on canon printer to select one or two sided printing

My Canon print driver prints double sided by default. I want to change to single sided, or be able to select single or double on a per document basis. How do I change my print driver settings?

Here is the solution I used.
The Print driver for Canon, UFRII will default to double sided printing.
Select a document, and select Print.
Open Presets and select Show Presets (this step may not be necessary)
Open Layout, then open Finishing. Change Prunt Style to One side or one page
Open Presets and Save Current Setting. At this point you can change the name of the preset (one page) and select if the chafe is for only the selected printer or all (Canon) printers.
This sure seemed harder than it should be.

CS6 cant save the printer driver settings

The problem is similar to this http://forums.adobe.com/message/4431235#4431235
Illustrator simply does not save any of the settings in the driver tabs (such as custom print sizes, paper tipe, source tray etc) unless I hit the Print button (e.g. I cant save those settings temporarily by pressing the Done button nor I can save a print presset for a later use), and that is a very very very annoying thing an it brings back some memories of the time I upgraded to CS and CS2 and the case then was even worse because it didnt save the printer driver settings even by printing and allways reverted to the default settings, and now I remember why I hate Adobe so much, because they never had a fix for that until CS3 came out.
That issue has been tested with XP 7 Vista both 32 and 64 (a lot of printer drivers) and it is not a single configuration problem, so please before asking some questions about the kind of the system and software etc do the following with your CS6 (or CS,CS2) and please tell me what happens. Choose File->Print and in the dialog choose whatever printer you have, press 'Setup...' button in the lower left corner, ignore the stupid prompt that some unknown Adobe genius tech invented, press Preferences button in the new Print window that pops up and in the printer driver UI window choose whatever setting you like that differs from the default setting, and then press Ok then Print and in the main Illustrator print dialog pres Done (but not Print if you are in CS6) button to close the dialog. Then open the Print dialog window again, navigate to the printer driver you just adjusted and please tell me what settings you have - those that you adjusted or the default settings. Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the responceq Johny_07, unfortunately it solves the problem only if I have to specify the size of the media, but I need to specify the source tray, paper type and so on, parameters that are not present in the dialog box, and those are not remembered by Illustrator also. Do you experience that problem, I have allways wondered why there is no info concerning that problem, is it happening only with my instalations or it is a general program bug.

CS5 and Epson 3800. Prints Too Dark.

I've seen old posts about this, but nothing recent with this configuration of software and OS:
After years of printing successfully with my Epson 3800 from a PC, I recently switched to a Mac (Mac OS X 10.6). I am using Photoshop CS 5.
Despite many iterations of monitor calibration trying different settings, my prints are consistently about 2 stops too dark. I'm very vexed.
What is the latest information about this and how do I resolve this?
Thank you.

Epson R220 & Leopard "Print CD Program"

I just installed Leopard my Mac Pro, But I am having problems printing directly on CD's with my EPSON R220 Printer. I am using Epson's "Print CD" and Roxio/Toast "Disc Cover RE" and everytime i go to print I get the following message:
"The EPSON print driver dealing with CD printing is not installed."
Does anyone have that problem? Am i out of luck until Epson resolved the problem with a new driver?

MS Project - Printing to dimensions larger than max print driver settings

I have a large (2000+) task Gantt chart but no wide-format printer.
I've tried printing to PDF - the tasks, durations, start, finish & resources columns show but the bars don't and the data replicates 4x so I end up having to mess with the file, deleting the extraneous pages, before I send it out for review, anyway.
I tried downloading a wide-format printer driver simply so I could select that printer as my 'default' and set the printer to 'print' to 24x36 while I work with the document, but can't install it because I don't actually have a wide-format printer on my
network.
Two questions:
First: How do I get the bars to show in a PDF print?
Second: How do I set the print area larger than my max paper size of 17x11?
Thanks.

Thank you very much for your response, Guillaume.
The issue is that I only have standard sized printers available to me. The drivers of these control and restrict the 'print' size of the PDF file. I had already selected the columns, etc., but could not get the right-hand part of the document
to appear no matter what settings I changed. I tried manipulating the columns printed, the page size, etc. but nothing worked.
Additionally, no matter what else I did (and I suspect it had to do with the program attempting to print the Gantt bars) I ended up with multiple prints of the document within my finished PDF. Meaning I had to use the Professional version of Adobe
to go back and delete the 50+ pages I didn't need before I could distribute what was useful to everyone else on the team.
I did manage to solve this issue by downloading a wide-format printer driver (even though we don't have a wide-format printer on the network, which was a feat in and of itself!). Now I can choose the non-existent printer as my default when I'm working
in / on this document and can print to PDF on a virtual 36" page - showing everything (in little tiny mouse print). That will be my next challenge - but I'm more than halfway there!
Best~

New Leopard Printer Driver update ( running Leopard OSX 10.5.8 )

Yesterday I downloaded several updates online , one of which was a Print Driver update suggested by Apple . Today every time I try to print on my HP 310 , I get an error message ( bouncing HP Icon ) indicating that the printer is Offline . However when I activate the HP Print Quality Diagnostic Report from the computer , it prints fine via my Airport Network . Going to the printer's screen and running the Wireless Network Test Report , the printer reports excellent signal strength and no issues .
Is this new updated Printer Driver buggy ?
BTW , I also have Snow Leopard on an external drive . If I start up my iMac from that drive , the printer works fine printing the same file from my desktop .

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

Epson R1800 - installing printer driver ??

I have a MacBook (10.4.7) connected to an Epson R1800 printer via USB. Prior to upgrading to 10.4.8, the printer worked fine. However, OSX 10.4.8 proved to be a catastrophe and I had to revert to 10.4.5 and then upgrade progressively to 10.4.7 (repairing privileges and rebooting at every step of the way).
I installed the new Intel version of the R1800 driver downloaded from Epson, but the driver does not appear on the MacBook, even after repairing privileges. I cannot see the driver in the printer setup utility.
I am having to create PDF versions of my work, transfer them to an ageing G4 (also under 10.4.7) in order to print - no problem with printer drivers on the G4.
My suspicion is that the delta 10.4.8 upgrade is at the origin of the problem. I had the dead, grey "kernel problem" screen like many many other people. I have never had an upgrade problem before. This upgrade was downloaded automatically via software upgrade with no warning that it could cause big, big problems...
Any help you can give would be very much appreciated.
MacBookPro + G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Corporate communication/design
MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I found the solution! When installing the Epson printer driver, there is a drop-down menu "install/uninstall". Select "uninstall" to remove all trace of any Epson R1800 printer-related files on the disk. Then reinstall the driver. After that, there is no problem selecting the printer.
Sounds obvious, but in the heat of the moment, the obvious is not always that clear!

Epson XP 600 Printer Driver

Having trouble downloading printer driver for Epson XP 600 on my imac with OS 10.8.3. I get a message saying "Epson" is damaged and can't be opened. You should eject the disk image. Can anyone help?

I can't begin to install the printer driver on my imac. That is the problem. The new imacs don't come with a disc insert area so I have to go online to download the printer driver but I keep getting this message and can't install the driver. my imac has OS 10.8.3 which i read somewhere doesn't support epson printers?
I also tried downloading from this link but I don't know what happens after that. I still don't see anything under printers in system preference. Please help. Need to print programs for my brother's wedding this week.

10.6 snow leopard printer driver for Z23

Help!! I looked and looked everywhere for a printer driver for Z23 on OS 10.6. I tried to load the optional installation from CD but, after installing, it did not list Z23 and it screwed up my other printer drivers. I got Z23 printer from Apple Store when I purchased Mini Mac with OS 10.2. But, the mini mac died and I had to purchase iMac with 10.5 and then upgraded to 10.6. So, I really need a Lexmark Z23 printer driver for Mac OS 10.6 so bad. Please expedite. I really appreciate it.

The last driver for the Z23 for Mac is for OS X 10.3. <http://support.lexmark.com/index?locale=en&productCode=Z23COLOR_JETPRINTER&userlocale=EN_US&segment=DOWNLOAD&os=MAC_OS_X_10_3_X&page=downl oadsList&oslocale=enUS#1> That's it, there ain't no more. It's no longer supported and hasn't been for a very long time. I had a Z23 many years ago and was less than impressed with its performance then. (The very first item on the FAQ: "Why is my Z23 so slow?" and no, they weren't joking.) And that thing shipped with just a colour cart, you needed to buy the black cart separately... and it wasn't easy to find the black carts. You're gonna need a new printer. Sorry, but them's the facts.

Leopard 10.5.2 can't find Epson Stylus C86 printer driver

I installed Leopard and now when I try to print the dialogue says no printer selected.
When I go to Print/Fax preferences and select Epson Stylus C86, which is on the list,
the working wheel appears and it says searching for new drivers .
But it keeps searching and never stops. I can't print anything.

Thank you for your help. I discovered the answer in Print & Fax preferences by choosing "Default Printer".

Epson Pro 3880 Print Driver for Lion?

Epson state in an article on their web-site entitled "Mac OS X Lion Instructions (article 187366) that "Mac OS 10.6 drivers are compatible with Mac OS 10.7" Well, no they aren't, or not for my 3880 anyway. I specifically checked this out prior to installing Lion, and if I had known my 3880 wouldn't work, I would not have upgraded.
Is there any sort of work-around? If Epson's delays in getting compatible drivers when Snow Leopard came out are anything to go by, we could be in for a long wait.
When I asked Epson about this, they told me they only received Lion on the same day as it was released to the public. Can this be true?

Yep, same here. For users upgrading from 10.6 to 10.7 Lion you will need to delete the printer from System Preferences, re-install the latest Epson 3880 driver (v6.6 as of today), add it back in System Preferences and you'll be golden.
Thanks GageManning.

Problem in CS5.5 print driver settings

I have just upgraded to CS 5.5 and when going to print settings the no color management dialog is greyed out. How do I get this back to the drop down choice of color management or off no color management because it appears the driver is double managing. Thanks

How are you doing the Punch Ins? If you do them as in the Help instructions you should be able to Monitor before/during and after.
