Epson CX6400 print fix

I couldn't print using my Epson CX6400 on airport. I've now followed the tips here and can print directly connected by reinserting my Leopard Install DVD - clicking Options - loading all printer optional drivers. Now my Epson auto selects the Gutenprint V.5 1.3 as my driver. I've successfully printed. Trying to download the new print driver from Epson (30 aas) would not open on my Power PC. I could not find a PowerPC specific driver.
Is this everyone's best option - or do I was I missing something? The Gutenprint dates back to 2003 - so I'm curious.

Worked when I updated Airport software and reconfigured Airport Base Stations. Had a flaky connection.

  • Epson CX6400

    I have my Epson CX6400 hooked up to a D-link DRP 1260 print server. I can print via the print server, but when I print via the print server using iphoto 08 I get a red hue on some of the pictures. When I print via USB connected to my Macbook (10.4.11) everything prints out perfectly. When I have my Macbook plugged in via USB the Epson CX6400 driver is automatically selected. I have tried to manually select the print driver when the Epson CX6400 is connected to the D-link DRP 1260 print server to no avail. When the Epson CX6400 is connected to the print server all I can select is the

    I have installed the latest Epson CX6400 print driver.

  • Has anyone gotten an official fix from EPSON for printing on CD/DVD's?

    To re-iterate the problem, I am unable to normally print CD/DVD's with my EPSON R220 printer after installing Leopard.
    I get the following message:
    "The EPSON printer driver dealing with CD printing is not installed"
    After hitting OK, you get brought to (what I call) the EPSON CD Print window which lets you edit Color Correction and Print Position but the "Print" button is grayed out.
    I can use the workaround I found in these discussions (thank you by the way) by hitting "Manual Print" from this window and select A4 for paper size and I'm able to print using the CD tray as normal.
    But has anyone heard back from EPSON with an official fix?
    Thank you.

    I spoke to EPSON support via the phone today.
    They said that the "Manual Print" option button is available due to the Easy Print software they released early November. This is their workaround and they said they are working on a real solution but it's just not available yet.

  • Epson R1800 prints v. dark despite many attempted fixes

    i  have an epson r1800 printer which i used successfully with early  versions of PS and windows XP. now the prints are very dark with a greenish cast using both  a  macbook pro snow leaopard, and windows 7 both with ps5.
    i import the pics first into LR3.
    i  have been on the fone for hours with epson high-level tech support and  the best they/we can figure out is that the printer cannot handle the  photpro color setting that LR assigns automatically. it only like prints  that began as Adobe RGB 1998 and havent been re-assigned. those occassionally seem to  work fine. but some do not. i have shots in jpg tif and digitized slides [tif] going back  decades, so lots of issues included. nor is  that is an all-round solution, but is there some way i can instruct lr NOT to use the photopro profile, but  adobe rgb 98 instead.
    if i go that route, my options then are importing into ps using smart  object and opening in raw one foto at a time, a pretty cumbersome [and somewhat confusing  to me] process. i do this in lr by choosing 'edit in' > 'open as  smart object' and then in ps clicking on the thumbnail in the layers  palette to open in raw. ot i can use bridge, thereby involving 3 programs. arghhh.
    per epson tech instructions--and this was  the first thing that gave me some good prints--i have set the workflow  option at the bottom of the raw image in ps at:
    adobe rgb 1998; 16 bit; highest mp available( 20 or 25mp even tho i am shooting at 18mp); 320 ppi. but it only works sometime.
    or  am i on the wrong track completely in trying to solve the printer  problem. i have been thru many setting adjustments and nothing seemed to  work until opened with the current workflow setting. i have tried, as both adobe and epstill darkson recommeded, having ps control the color and setting icm and management off. still dark.
    if agsinst all recommendations i use printer controls color, epson vivid, i can get prttey good prints, but only if i print from LR. PS hates this setting.
    i am awating a call from a high-level adobe techie.
    my  little head is reeling--and of course this all is after epson tried to  blame OS, PS, LR, my monitor, and me. and adobe did the same casting about. but since the same dark image is  happening with the mac laptop and windows desktop, none of these seemed  likely. epson also suggested i buy another, newer printer, but then  admitted that if the photpro profile was the problem, no joy.
    any suggestions, help. i have gone thru much ink paper and hair tearing and dozens of on-line fora.

    As remarked by other responders, this is not a problem unique to you, to Lightroom or to your printer; I have struggled many times, most recently with Aperture3 and an Epson1290 (my Epson 220 didn't show the problem at the same time, with the same images). Changes in driver, profile usage to names but 2 factors, all can screw things up.
    My suggestions:
    1. Make sure you have the latest drivers downloaded from the Apple Software Update window below the Apple icon at the lefthand end of your Finder menu bar.
    2. use an appropriate profile for your printer/ink/paper combination; the only real solution is to produce your own, with something like SpyderPrine - I have one for each combination I use.
    3. Select these in the Lightroom Print Menu at the right hand side of the window under "Print Job". Don't use "Draft Mode.", which doesn't allow the following choices. Underr "Color Management", put in your chosen profile and Rendering Intent (I use Perceptual, but, in my experience, they don't change things much).
         When you click on "Print", an Apple print window opens, which shows the printer is not in control of printing; all the options are greyed out.
    As an alternative, in the Apple Print Window, select "PDF". This will save the image as a .pdf, which you can print from Preview. In the Previerw print menu, select Color Matching/ColorSyc/Profile: and put in your chosen profile; when you get down to the Clor Management" option, coilor controls will be "off", showing that your choices will be used.
    If things are working correctly, two prints, one from each route, should be identical; if they are not yoy have another proble, the basis of which I cannot imagine.

  • How do I connect my Airport Extreme 802.11n to Epson 645 Printer?

    I can't figure out how to connect my Airport Extreme 802.11n to my Epson 645 Printer.  Can anyone help me?  Thanks!

    You may want to try reinstalling Mavericks. Airport Utility installed by Mavericks may no longer connect to your older AEBS (though I've not heard that.) Installing the Old AirPort Utility (Version 5.6) on Mountain Lion | frank.is.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
         Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select ReinstallLion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from
         the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
                    three times faster than wireless.

  • Pages '09 and an Epson RX580 printer

    I just made the jump to an IMac. I have run into an issue with printing envelopes with my Epson RX580 printer. I downloaded and installed the newest drivers that are available for Leopard from the Epson site for this printer. When I try to print envelopes, either an imported Word doc or one that I created from a template I have 2 problems. The envelope looks fine on the screen but when I print it the first issue is that it has to be rotated 180 degrees from what the printer manual says and my experience with MS Word is. Second of all, the left side of the return address is truncated and it prints lower on the envelope than expected. I have not changed any of the default setting for Pages. I did try playing around with margin settings. I eventually fixed the truncation but the envelope looked bad - text was too far to the right and too low.
    If this has been answered, I missed it an do apologize.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Sorry, I was away for a couple of days. When I start from a scratch and use an envelope emplate, I am assuming that the margins are being set by the template. When I view the image on the screen it looks correct. When I print the envelope its off by a little (ok enough to be annoying) not by a lot. If I go to inspector/page set up the page attribute setting is #10 envelope (4 1/8 x 9 1/2) which is the correct size for the envelope. Am I missing something?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • Trying to get Photoshop CS4 functional with Mavericks and an Epson 3880 printer. CS4 fails to send a file to the print queue. Have reinstalled the Epson 3880 driver for Mavericks. All looks good but no file is sent.

    rying to get Photoshop CS4 functional with Mavericks and an Epson 3880 printer. CS4 fails to send a file to the print queue. Have reinstalled the Epson 3880 driver for Mavericks. All looks good but no file is sent.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    What EXACT version of Photoshop CS4 are you running?  You should be on Photoshop CS4 v 11.0.2.
    Also run Apple's software update to see whether it offers you the latest Epson update:
    Printer Driver v9.33
    Epson Stylus Pro 3880, Drivers & Downloads - Technical Support - Epson America, Inc.
    MOST IMPORTANTLY:  have Photoshop re-create its own Preferences:
    To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
    Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
    Important: If you re-create the preferences by manually deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
    Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
    NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here:
    How to Reset Photoshop CS6’s Preferences File | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV
    Mac OS
    Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If  you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

  • Epson r800 prints, but does not appear in Printer List: can't use Utilities

    My Epson r800 prints, but does not appear in Printer List. It is connected via USB to the iMac. A Brother LH-2070N is connected via AirPort Extreme. I need to use Utilities to clean the head of cartridge, check levels, etc.. Is there a way to fix this problem?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    For your Epson try this:
    Hard Drive, Library, Printers (folder), Epson folder,
    Inkjetprinter folder, Utilities folder and here you
    will find Epson Printer Utility2. Click on it and it
    should work.
    Note. Epson utilities will not work unless the
    Printer is directly connected to the computer.
    Had the same issue with my 2200 photo and the above
    worked.
    Tried again after reinstalling the drivers. There is no separate Inkjet Folder, but the Printer Utility is within the Epson folder. Unfortunately, the r800 still does not appear in the Printer List, hence no utility.

  • Epson 3880 Printer won't print

    I have an i5 iMac running OS x 10.8.4 that I recently migrated to (about 3 months now) from a PC.  My Epson 3880 printer and 1400 printer will not print from Photoshop CS6 or Lightroom 4.  I have printed text and less intensive graphics to the 1400.  When I print from these apps all I get in the progress is "Stopped - 'filter' failed".  It does not tell me what 'filter has failed.  I have deleted and reinstalled, restarted, googled the crap out of it and I see many having this issue up and a few have been solved but whenever I try one of the fixes listed - nothing.
    Now when I try to print, say from mail, the 1400 is no longer printing at all, same message.
    This is frustrating to say the least since I am a photographer and that's why I switched to mac.
    Also, still can't find the generic ICC profiles for Epson that used to be installed with the driver (ie for glossy, matte photo paper).  One support forum did mention the location where the 3880 ICC profiles were buried and I found them and dragged them out.  No luck with the 1400 yet.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select "/var/log/cups/error_log" from the file list on the left side of the Console window. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the time of the last failed printing attempt. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • Barbara Brundage, can you help with PS Elements 11 and Epson R2000 printer issue?

    Seeking help with PS Elements 11 which does not work with Epson r2000 printer.  Epson tech support could not fix, said it is PS e11 problem.  Receive prompt on PS e11 screen when I try to print stating "not compatible or settings are not correct.  Have set PS to manage color and printer manages color to off.  Would appreciate any suggestions.  Thank you.

    Hi,
    Sincerely appreciate your help.  Running Windows 7 on a  Dell XPS420.  System has been very stable for years.  Before purchasing the Epson r2000, I owned an r1800 which was an excellent printer but after seven years started to exhibit paper feed problems.  The r1800 worked with all applications and I was well satisfied with the saturation, contrast, etc. printing mostly 8x10 and 11x17 prints. 
    Thank you for the information about the # of installs for PS E11, will try uninstall/reinstall this morning.
    Will let you know how things go.

    Thanks for the follow up.
    Barbara Brundage in the Photoshop Elements Forum will probably have the answer to your Photoshop Elements Epson scanner issue. Look into that Twain driver. She will give you good input on all this.
    Also, see your other thread about Adobe telephone contact information. I have posted in that other thread also.

  • I scanned an old image using my Epson NX515 printer, used GIMP to make some minor repairs on the image and printed it out.  I noticed there were a number of evenly spaced thin blue lines across the image, approximately six of them.

    I scanned an old image using my Epson NX515 printer, used GIMP to make some minor repairs on the image and printed it out.  I noticed there were a number of evenly spaced thin blue lines across the image, approximately six of them. I opened & printed the image on my PC using PAINT.NET.  No lines appeared. I sent the image to my daughter. She printed it and found no lines. I printed the image using Seahorse on my Mac and the lines still appeared. I used basically the same print settings on Mac and PC.

    did so now, only now I'm getting a slightly different error: could not find udevd no such file or directory. I checked both grub.cfg's and my mkinitcpio.conf and there's no listing for udevd ....which I've never heard of, so I assumed it was a typo?
    For clarification: udev is in the mkinitcpio.
    I'm not sure whether I yet have a good intuition for how you have your machine set up, but I suspect you need to include a cryptdevice flag to the kernel in your grub config. The file isn't found because the kernel doesn't know your root directory needs decrypting first.
    My setup is an LVM over LUKS over LVM sandwich. To boot into my system, the grub.cfg contains the line:
    linux /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/mapper/cryptvg-root cryptdevice=/dev/mapper/vg-crypt:root rootfstype=ext4 pcie_aspm=force acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1 ro
    Now, most of those flags don't have anything to do with your problem, but note the cryptdevice. It tells the kernel it's dealing with an encrypted filesystem sitting in a logical volume called crypt on a volume group called vg. The bit after the colon tells the kernel to associate this encrypted filesystem with /dev/mapper/root.
    As for how to fix your system, I'm afraid I still feel a bit fuzzy about how your LVM and encrypted layers relate to each other, whether you have LVM over LUKS, or LUKS over LVM, or something else. Was there a particular how-to that you followed?

  • Problems with Epson R2400 printer and Mac

    I'm a photographer and I switched to an imac a while ago. When I tried out my Epson R2400 printer, it worked really awful, comparing to when I used it with PC. I still haven't managed to fix these prolems. The printer menu is diminished (less options, many inaccessible in grey), there are problems with print density, with color adjustment, what I see on my screen is not what I get on my print (a black and white photo in grayscale mode can appear almost light blue when printed), there are even alignment problems (centred photos appear closer to the left edge of the paper). And I don't have a clue why all this is happening. The printer driver I installed is apparently the latest one. So I don't know where to go from here. I have installed and I use the profiles of the specific papers I'm using, but the results are NASTY. Please help.

    By the way, I have read the links under "More like this", but those threads don't seem to clarify my question. Originally I had installed my Epson driver from the original (old) Epson CD. When that didn't work I uninstalled and installed the newer Epson driver from the Epson's site. Doesn't work and the problems I'm having are the ones I mentioned above. 

  • Lightroom, epson 3880, print dialog problems

    Hi, I hope someone can help me - I am really struggling with lightroom 5 on OSX 10.8.5 and printing to Epson 3880.
    Whenever I change the print dialog eg to rear feeder, or photo glossy paper it daults to top feeder, and premuim lustre paper. Printing directly after making changes has no effect. I have tried deleting the epson drivers and associated files and reloading, deleting and re-installing lightroom, and no joy.
    The printer dialog works fine in elements and preview, its just lightroom where it seems to have no effect.
    I hope someone can help because its driving me mad!!!!!
    Thanks

    So it's the Epson/LR combo only?
    If you haven't done it lately, I'd do the Epson-Apple driver fix hocus pocus which is to delete all instances of Epson printers from System Preferences>Print & Fax.
    Then go to /Library/Printers and toss the whole Epson folder.
    Toss LFP Remote Panel (IF you are using this utility for your printer).
    Then reinstall drivers from Epson, never Apple.
    When you go back to Print & Fax to add the printer, on 10.6 I had to wait almost a minute before the IP version of the printer showed up, whereas the Bonjour one shows up right away. Then add the IP instance of the printer. This is for printers on a network.
