Epson 925 printer problem

Suddenly, I can no longer print playlists for CD jewelcase inserts from iTunes. I've been printing these with no problem for months and yesterday for the first time, when I select 'print' from the file menuj I get a message saying, " printing of jobs for this printer is stopped."
The printer is also connected to a PC and prints files sent from the PC just fine.
I've tried printing from other Mac applications -- no luck.
I've tried reconnecting USB cords and other easy diagnostics with no success.
When I start my Mac two error messages appear:
1. system/library/extensions/epsonusbstorageclass10.kext/contents/plugins/epsonusb pcrndeviceclass.kext was installed improperly.
2. system/library/extensions/epsonusbstorageclass10.kext/contents/plugins/epsonsub pcrwdeviceclass.kext installed improperly.
Are these error messages related to no longer being able to print from the Mac? Any help anyone can offer would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Greg

Thanks John.
I did shoot Epson an email shortly after posting to this forum. I've not heard back from them yet.
Hope they can help.
Meanwhile, I would be grateful for any other ideas that are shared in this forum.

CS 3 Epson R2400 printing problem

After recently migrating from Tiger to Leopard I reinstalled the driver software for my Epson R2400, and have been having CS3 printing problems ever since.
The project I'm doing print work from involves CMYK versions of greyscale photos and a spot color (Pantone 200PC, also tried Trumatch 5-a2).
If I try to print from InDesign, or from Acrobat using an InDesign "press quality" pdf, everything's 'thin'. The greyscale photos are a bit washed out, and the spot color is pink rather than rich red.
If I export a jpg from InDesign and print from Photoshop the quality is acceptable
If I export a jpg from InDesign and print from Lightroom the quality is acceptable
InDesign's color settings are-
RGB: sRGB
CMYK: Sheetfed Coated V2
Can anyone help? Many thanks.

If you have a computer that runs Tiger you should stick with Tiger. CS3 was written under Tiger and seems to work best in Tiger. Use the backup of your system drive you made before upgraded to leopard as you can't go back with an Archive and install. The bells and whistles in Leopard are not worth the stability Tiger offers.

CS3, Mac OS 10.5.5, Epson 3800 Printing Problems (v6.11)

Since recently migrating to MacIntel running an obligatory 10.5.5 , I've been encountering problems printing to my Epson 3800 of 2 kinds that had previously not arisen on PPC based Macs using 10.4+: 1) When switching media that requires a change of black ink (photo black to matte or vice versa) there does not seem to be a straightforward way to go about this without encountering glitches (previously this had been handled smoothly by the driver); 2) The driver indicates randomly that my paper feed parameters are incorrect for a given job, when in fact this is not the case, and this makes printing needlessly irksome and inefficient. This is a marvelous printer that I've been using for the past 15 months so I'd appreciate any suggestions that would allow me to remedy these problems.

Dear Ralph,
Thank you for replying to my post.
It does not seem that I will solve my problem by localisation "rectification". I am in an all International environment. Hmm.
Do you use InDesign CS3 in a totally colour managed environment?
I just got a Colour Profile done for my Intel Mac machine from InDesign and it is 'less than perfect'. Very frustrating.
This colour expert suggests I set up my work flow as follows:
[Well if I was allowed to include snapshots of my screen they would appear here.]
The Printer Profile I am using in the Colour Management dialogue box is the profile provide by the Colour Expert.
How do you set things up please?
I had, in fact still have, an Epson 3000 that the Colour Expert profiled and gave me phenomenal colour accuracy up until OS 10.5.5 when the Epson driver became non-operational. I am so disappointed that I am having so much difficulty with the 3800.
I think there are Adobe v. Mac issues plus driver problems!!!
If you can shed any light on this, I would welcome it.
Thanks.

Epson CX78000 printing problem

Running OS 10.4.10 on !7 inch GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Printer has been operating successfully when using G4 iMac (OX 10.4.10)+ USB. Switch to new iMac (also with USB) results in continuous printing of only blank sheets. When I switch back to the G4 no problem. Current drivers obtained from Epson website are loaded as the Epson CD does not work with Intel-Mac. I believe I've made all of the correct printer selections, with one step that I can't resolve. In the printer utility the CX7800 is selected, location is my computer but there is no CX7800 in the Epson list for Print Using. I've tried using Stylus CX6600 and CX8300 (both with the additional notation of Gimp-Print v 5.0.-beta 2) to no avail. In the G4 print utility the Print Using CX7800 had the designation of Series 1. I hope this description of the problem is clear. I've tried contacting Epson but so far no help. Any help would be appreciated.

So, here's the latest:
I followed the Epson instructions (again).
I then loaded a plan sheet of paper in rear manual feed, opened Photoshop/CS5, clicked print, and the paper printed.
Since I'm trying to have some paper profiles created and am using CS5, I needed to print some targets via the rear manual feed and using the Adobe Color Printer Utility. When I tried to print using the Utility I again got the raster error.
Then, I tried to print via the rear manual feed and using Lightroom 3; once or twice I got the printer/software-paper-sources-don't-match message, and the other 5 times I got the raster error message. Tried again in CS5 and got the raster error.
The oddity, however, is that I can print via the paper tray in LR3; and if I'm just printing a web page or, presumably, not going through an Adobe product I can print (this is not to say that I know Adboe is the problem; just that this is what has happened so far).
One good thing is that I had the Epson tech on the phone and gave him access to my desktop; so, now I'm not just some luddite who can't follow simple directions. So, the issue will be escalated (this means WAR!)

CS4 and EPSON R2880 Printing Problems

I am having a very difficult time getting color matched prints with CS4 and my R2880 Epson printer. I had no issues with CS3. I have tried every combination available to me and I get very drab almost browinsh prints. I have the latest drivers and also have upgraded to Vista, no change there at all. I am using the proper ICC profiles as well. Anyone else with similar problems? Any solutions? It is very frustrating. Thanks, Bob

I have an Epson R280 on my desk and just did a test printing the same image with CS4/Vista64, CS4/XP, and again with CS3/XP. All three prints used the Epson supplied paper profile and the colour management settings were all set the same.
The results are identical.
I suspect there's a wrong setting somewhere:
- wrong profile being used
- not disabling printer colour management
- wrong paper setting or printing on the wrong side of the paper
I can't imagine why the results would be any different from one version of PS to another.

AirPort Extreme (802.11n) & Epson CX3100 Printer Problem

I recently purchased the new AirPort Extreme 802.11n and tried hooking up my Epson Stylus CX3100 to it. It detects the printer but it only prints the first few lines then stops. I check the status window of the printer and I see no error message whatsoever. I have to turn off the printer to force the paper out. The printer prints fine when connected directly to the iMac.
I was using the Gimp printer driver found in my iMac. Since that didin't work, I tried installing the new Intel drivers from Epson. But when I try adding it to me AEBS using the official driver, I get an Error: -9672 message.
I've already updated my AEBS's firmware to 7.1 before I tested the printer, so I'm not sure if it's a firmware issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your iMac isn't receiving an IP address at all - the 169.254.x.x is "self-assigned" and indicates it is not receiving the IP address from any router. That won't work.
I'm not sure what you intend to do with the Express so leave it unplugged for now. Use Airport Utility, select your Airport Extreme, click "manual setup", then click the Base Station tab. Note the name of the wireless network it's creating.
Then click the Wireless tab. Make sure the Wireless Mode set to "create a wireless network". Next, consider using no Wireless Security at all, until you've sorted out your problems.
Next, click the Airport pane, then click the Internet pane, then click the Internet connection tab. Next to "Connection Sharing" select "share a public IP address".
Click the TCP/IP tab. Configure IPv4 "using DHCP".
Click Update and let it restart.
Make sure your iMac is connected to the wireless network created by your Extreme. It should then get an IP address of 10.0.1.1 and you should be able to connect.
If this works then we can configure your Express to do whatever you want it to do. If it doesn't work write back and we'll try to figure out what's wrong.

Aperture 1.5.2 + Epson R1800 Printing Problems

I love the new Aperture 1.5.2, but I'm running into a problem with Aperture stopping progress on the prints and not letting me access the epson R1800...message All jobs stopped and when I attempt to restart them, Aperture shuts them down again...
When I bring the job into Adobe Photoshop CS2 from Camera RAW it prints just fine and communicates effectively with the printer...
I love the workflow with Aperture, but cannot utilize it to print my copies and it is frustrating...Have problem solved many avenues from reloading software, printer setup utility, etc. but having the software-hardware problem between Aperture & R1800...
Adios! Steve

Steve --
Just realized that you have a G5 and not an Intel machine. My response below my still help -- I hope.
I use the R1800 quite extensively and have been extremely happy with the results, so hopefully this will help. When you said that you've reloaded the software, did you mean that you've tried to reinstall from the Epson disc that came with the printer? If so, do not do this. Move it to the trash if you can. I discovered this somewhat by accident when I first bought the printer -- Somewhere on Epson's site it says not to use the Epson disc for Intel Macs. Instead, download the latest driver from Epson's site for your computer and all should work just fine.
If this doesn't fix your problem there may be something wrong with your system that's a bit more serious. Others on this board can hopefully help with that.

Epson R1900 Print Problem - Image shift/Cropping

When Printing 13x19 files in Photoshop, the image always prints centered in an 8.5 x 11 area at the lower right corner of the page as it comes out of the printer. The image is cropped into this letter sized area at its correct size and is not scaled. My best guess is that the printer is thinning the paper size is set to LETTER, not Super B. I have checked all the settings multiple times but see no place where the paper is not set correctly or that the printer is not set to Epson R1900 (i.e. it is not set to "Any Printer"). I have had this printer for several years (and have been using Macs & Epson printers professionally for 20 years), and it has worked properly in the past with this sized image. I have not needed to print this size image for a while so not sure what might have changed in the mean time.
This ONLY happens in Photoshop (CC and CS5 tested). It will print correct from InDesign and Illustrator, but the color is shifting too much. I have always gotten my best color when printing directly from Photoshop and this particular project requires accurate color.
Happens on 2 different computers (newer iMac and older MacBook Pro) and on different photoshop files. Drivers are currently up to date according to Apple's Software update.
Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.

To further clarify, the dialog box that I refer to DOES come up if the printer chosen is the $100 HP printer I have for office
work. The choice between "best photo" quality, etc is right there in the dialog window - like I assume that it
should be for the Epson.
This dialog box is definitely shown in the User Guide of the Epson printer????

EPSON / Elite printing problems

Hi everyone!
Can not print!
I have two printer on my network, one is a postscript Elite 608 XL, the other one an Epson Workforce 310, all in one.
Downloaded the latest drivers from the web, computer see both printers, the Elite shows "Paused" in the printer queue, I click on "Resume" and goes back to "Paused" right away.

I can scan from the Epson also using Image Capture
Both printers print from another Mac with OS 10.4.x
Am I missing some piece of software/settings?
Any help would be appreciated.

Photoshop CS4 Extended Windows 7 Epson XP310 Printing Problem

I went through the resetting preference file as most of the solutions suggest. But put my preferences back because it made no difference.
Photoshop print dialogue comes up fine when I'm printing a .jpg, or a .psd photograph in photoshop. The print dialogue box shows the correct printer, and it prints the picture.
I set up an avery label template so I could design labels in photoshop, and even if the template has been finished and changed to a .jpg, the "before you can perform printer related tasks such as page setup or printing a document you need to install a printer . . ." message appears at page setup or print.
I CAN open the document in Adobe 9 Professional, save it as a pdf, or save it as a pdf in photoshop or a .tiff and it prints fine in Adobe 9. Still won't print in Photoshop.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance . . .

Printing problem with printer EPSON 1070+

Hi ,
I am printing Document using SAP smartforms on EPSON 1070+ Printer. The device type used for task is EPESCP.
Page foramt I am using is DIN3.
When print is taken on specified printer it is printing all content of document in one font and not in the font which has been attached part of text.Document is display properly(text in different fonts) in print preview,but output on actual printer comes differently.
What should be done to correct problem ?
Thanks in advance,
Amit R

Hi Amit,
Have you checked by printing Word document on same printer??...
If the right part of the paper still left blank, then margin setting of the printer in windows has problem,
Otherwise check it in SPAD only.
Also check your Margin settings at printer.

PSE 9 printing problem with Epson printer

hello there,
I am using PSE 9 with Windows XP and Epson 3880 printer. I have re-installed all programs/drivers a couple of times. PSE9 Printer dialogue will not let me print choosing "Let Photoshop Manage Colour". It will only let me print with "Let Printer Manage Colour". I am using Epson papers.
When I select "Let Photoshop Manage Colour", a box appears saying "ICC profile no longer available" and it won't let me print. Is this a PSE 9 problem or an Epson problem?
thanks !!!

Well, I actually found the answer. I spoke to an Epson Rep!
I used to have the Epson 2200 printer, then the Epson 3800, and now I use the 3880 printer on Windows XP and Windows 7 on my laptop.
When you uninstall the other 2 printers, the color profiles are still in your program files and can become corrupted.
This is why, in PSE 9, when I checked the box Let Photoshop Elements Manage Colour, it woildn`t print and instead there was the pop-up box ``ICC profile no longer available`` because it was trying to access the old paper profiles and not the ones that came with the 3880. I use Epson papers, by the way.
The solution was to go into C-Drive, Program Files, System 32, spool,drivers, colour, and this opens to the ICC profiles used by the printer. Then I deleted the old paper profiles associated with my former printers.
And it worked !!

Printing problem with cc and cs6 with epson 7890

Hi everyone,
I am having a serious printing problem. I use CC (14.2.1) and CS 6 (13.0.6) on Mavericks 10.9.1 on an iMac. If I try to make a print on a 24" roll I get an error message: cupsRasterinterpretPDD has an error = page header unsupported values. If I print A2 or A3 sheets everything works fine.
I contacted Epson because I thought it was a printer problem, but they insist it is a photoshop problem. I updated to the latest printerdriver.
Does anyone have any ideas or even better a solution?

I feel your pain, but I don't know the solution, sorry. Our Mac guru who primarily serves designers is not upgrading any of his clients to Mavericks so far, due to printing (and other) issues. Se we're still on 10.8.4 here.

Printing problem with Epson photo 2200

I have a Powerbook G4 running the most recent version of OSX. I can no longer print to my Epson Photo 2200. When I try and print the Printer window pops up, and the job automatically stops without printing.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the 2200 driver, I have hooked up a Canon printer to the powerbook (and this printer works fine with the powerbook), I have printed a test sheet on the 2200 (which is done without a connection to the Powerbook and it printed fine). The problem lies in the computer printer connection (I am using USB for the link).
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I had a similar problem with a Epson Stylus Photo R800. The printer would not print Word docs or DVD media using the most updated software from Epson. After going through two printers I paid a consultant to come in on a Saturday night who told me that communication errors between Epson printers and current versions of the MacOS are encountered every day in his business. And neither Apple or Epson address the issue directly.
To get the Stylus Photo R800 to work we had to reconfigure the driver to deal with Manual Feeding of documents and DVDs. It took about an hour of experimentation but once done...with no help from Apple or Epson...the printer did work very well. However, the Epson Print CD software is a total bust. We found a third party solution called DiscLabel that allowed us to print DVDs with the reconfigured driver. I'm disgusted with both Apple and Epson because Epson sells printer with the promise that it will work with the MacOS when three hours of struggle with useless software proved otherwise.
If others have a better experience or know of simple solutions to the Epson Print CD problem please post them.
Thanks in advance for tolerating my rant.

Dark prints using CS5 & Epson R2400 ongoing problem, now new PC and magenta cast

Have tried every combination of set up in trying to solve problem. Had One Eye (now defunct lamp) various experts etc etc but compensated for dark prints by having screen lightened to bizarre point. Now having a new PC am faced with massive magenta cast. I really don't want to buy a new printer but have had the dark print problem since I got it. Have spoken to Adobe and Epson at length but eventually washed their hands. I feel it is something to do within the computer set up or Photoshop - don't think its printer problem. All drivers updated regularly. Thought it could be monitor problem but don't really think this is the case.
Any ideas welcome as I think I have tried everything. Use Windows 7.
Am retired and not very technically minded! Serious amateur photographer.

I have an Epson 1280 printer, and I have the same problem with prints. Part of the problem are the different color profiles in the monitor and the printer. The other problem to deal with is the type of photo paper used. While looking at web sites, I found that the ICC Color Profiles for the printer are on the install disc and are not automatically installed. One of the links describes which folder to install the profiles on both Mac & Windows computers.

I do not have an exact answer for you because I have not figured it out myself, but here is what I have been doing on my prints. I might recommend that you work on a copy of the original.
In the Layer floating window, create a New Adjustment Layer by clicking on the half black/half white circle, and choose Hue/Saturation or Color Balance or Selective Color. Because the prints come out too red, you want to increase the green sliders, which is the opposite of red, and/or decrease the red. (Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Color Balance) is another way to do it.
Under the menu item Image>Adjust Levels. Move the center triangle at the bottom to lighten the mid-range, or use the center dialog box and change it to 1.20 or 1.30, for example.
Now press Print with Preview (but you really are not going to print).
When the dialog box comes up, make sure the Print Space: dropdown is set to Epson Paper or whatever you are using.
I have been using Relative Colorimetric. Press Print. Another dialog box will come up. At the bottom will be a button for Preview, which will generate a preview of what the photo will look like if printed.
Keep going back to the original and double click on the Adjustment Layer and adjusting it until the Print Preview looks ok.
Be sure when you actually print that the paper and color settings in the Epson dialog box match your settings in Photoshop. There is a dropdown that has Print Settings or Color. Often they don't match unless you print several photos in a row. I have found printing at the lower settings (less than 360 dpi) also messes up the color.
It is not an excellent solution, but until I can figure out more, I am in the same boat as you.
I'd suggest saving the lightening and color adjustments as two different Actions.
