Epson/LR Paper Size Issue

I am trying to print from Lightroom 2.0 on my Epson R1800. I have several profiles setup in which I did the Page Setup, Color Management, ICC thing in advance and get good results. However, when I got to use all the same settings (ICC, Color Mgmt, etc) and change the paper size, it won't load the paper and gives me an error in the printer utility that says, "Media out or not loaded correctly". I have tried using some of the LR presets for photo packages and also tried printing from Photoshop.
I feel like I have tried every setting in every dialogue and still get this error. Anyone have any ideas??
thanks,
matt

Silly, maybe, but are you infact loading the 'Media' correctly? What paper are you using. Are you using the cardboard backer?

Paper Size issues with CreatePDF Desktop Printer

Are there any known paper size issues with PDFs created using Acrobat.com's CreatePDF Desktop Printer?
I've performed limited testing with a trial subscription, in preparation for a rollout to several clients.
Standard paper size in this country is A4, not Letter. The desktop printer was created manually on a Windows XP system following the instructions in document cpsid_86984. MS Word was then used to print a Word document to the virtual printer. Paper Size in Word's Page Setup was correctly set to A4. However the resultant PDF file was Letter size, causing the top of each page to be truncated.
I then looked at the Properties of the printer, and found that it was using an "HP Color LaserJet PS" driver (self-chosen by the printer install procedure). Its Paper Size was also set to A4. Word does override some printer driver settings, but in this case both the application and the printer were set to A4, so there should have been no issue.
On a hunch, I then changed the CreatePDF printer driver to a Xerox Phaser, as suggested in the above Adobe document for other versions of Windows. (Couldn't find the recommended "Xerox Phaser 6120 PS", so chose the 1235 PS model instead.) After confirming that it too was set for A4, I repeated the test using the same Word document. This time the result was fine.
While I seem to have solved the issue on this occasion, I have not been able to do sufficient testing with a 5-PDF trial, and wish to avoid similar problems with the future live users, all of which use Word and A4 paper. Any information or recommendations would be appreciated. Also, is there any information available on the service's sensitivity to different printer drivers used with the CreatePDF's printer definition? And can we assume that the alternative "Upload and Convert" procedure correctly selects output paper size from the settings of an uploaded document?
PS - The newly-revised doc cpsid_86984 still seems to need further revising. Vista and Windows 7 instructions have now been split. I tried the new Vista instructions on a Vista SP2 PC and found that step 6 appears to be out of place - there was no provision to enter Adobe ID and password at this stage. It appears that, as with XP and Win7, one must configure the printer after it is installed (and not just if changing the ID or password, as stated in the document).

Thank you, Rebecca.
The plot thickens a little, given that it was the same unaltered Word document that first created a letter-size PDF, but correctly created an A4-size PDF after the driver was changed from the HP Color Laser PS to a Xerox Phaser. I thought that the answer may lie in your comment that "it'll get complicated if there is a particular driver selected in the process of manually installing the PDF desktop printer". But that HP driver was not (consciously) selected - it became part of the printer definition when the manual install instructions were followed.
However I haven't yet had a chance to try a different XP system, and given that you haven't been able to reproduce the issue (thank you for trying), I will assume for the time being that it might have been a spurious problem that won't recur. I'll take your point about using the installer, though when the opportunity arises I might try to satisfy my cursed curiosity by experimenting further with the manual install. If I come up with anything of interest, I'll post again.

Excel 2010 paper size issue with PCL6 drivers after KB2592687 installed on client

When I connect to the RDS server and open Excel with the PCL6 printer and select File / Print the paper size says Custom Paper Size and I can not change the paper size here, in the Page Layout tab or in the drivers properties pages. Using the PS driver there
is no issue. I've tried using several stock PCL6 drivers from Windows 7 and have the same issue such as the HP LaserJet P4014/4015 PCL6. Using the Lanier LP131n PCL6 or PS I had the issue with PS as well.
I do not have the drivers loaded on the server so it is using Remote Desktop Easy Print. If I do load the drivers and allow it to use them then there is no issue but I cannot configure the printers options without taking ownership of the printer so that
is not desirable.
If I do not install KB2592687 then there is no issue, but that is not an option as I am dealing with a customer who's IT manager refuses to remove this, even to test it, and says our printer driver has the issue and is not compliant with MS TS.
Could I be missing any configuration, hotfix, policy that could explain this issue or any other workaround? Or is there a change required to our printer driver for this?
Test setup:
I created a new Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard server with SP1, Added the RDS Role, Installed Office 2010 Professional with SP1 using the Terminal Services product key. No updates were installed. I have tested installing every possible update as well for
both Server and Office.
I then created a new Windows 7 Professional x86 with SP1 client, installed PCL6 & PS printers, installed KB2574819 and KB2592687. No other updates were installed. I have tested installing every possible update as well.

Hi,
Did you find any particular Event ID for your issue?
To troubleshoot this issue, have you tried changing the default printer and printing from other programs such as Word or any other?
The issue which you are facing might occurs because the Microsoft XPS Document Converter (MXDC) determines the paper size by using the FormID value on the server. As you commented that you are using Easy print driver first you can find incorrect paper size
if RD Easy Print printer driver first is enabled.
To work around this issue, use the forms that are defined by the system when you print. The paper sizes for these forms match on the server and on the client computer. Additionally, a printer driver can rename these forms. Please refer below article for more
information.
The client printer may print the documents by using an incorrect paper size if the "Use Remote Desktop Easy Print printer driver first" policy is enabled
Apart from this providing link to understand RD Easy print in Windows 7 & Server 2008 R2.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

HP Photosmart C4488 all-in-one custom paper size issue.

Hello, I just bought a new HP photosmart C4488 from the store. Not exactly just, few days back. I need prints on custom paper sizes. Heres my problem
I have a paper, plain paper, of dimensions 11.2x19.1 cms (measured by normal drawing scale). I designed an image in Photoshop with the same dimensions and 300 dpi resolution. But when I try setting the custom settings to that dimensions, I can't press OK. See the attached image for more clarity. Dimensions in the screenshot are different, but still I can't press OK there!
"Windows cannot detect any keyboard attached to the computer. Please press any key to fix the problem"

I had this same problem and discovered that what I had to do was give my custom size a name, then after you do that, you get the 'save' button and it will be listed among the seletions availabe under 'more.' I am not sure why it wouldn
t have been possible to have put a little note saying to name your custom size as the current method isn't intuitive. On the other hand, now that I have the size listed, I can't figure out how to actually get it to work as when I choose it, it tells me the size is incompatible with the paper type and does that for all the normal paper types! So I hope it works and better luck to you on this than I am having..

Windows 7 Word 2010 with EPS A4 Acrobat X Pro Paper Size Issue

I'm running into the following issue trying to create a PDF.
Word 2010 A4 page size. Document has some Illustrator EPS images used in it.
When I go to make the PDF using Acrobat from the top menu and then Create PDF, the page size of the PDF is A4, but the color is the low res bit map preview look. Not acceptable color, all colors converted to CMYK, but the EPS files have incorrect color values.
When I use File Print Acrobat PDF, the color is correct, but it reduces the pages to 8-1/2 x 11. Every setting I can find is calling for a A4 page size. This way the colors are left as the original files CMYK + Pantone colors.
I spent 2-1/2 hours with Adobe on this and they had no solution.
We have tried different Default Settings and no difference.
The Adobe PDF Page Size: is A4.
If we make the page size A3 then it generates a A3 size PDF.
When I was running XP with Word 2003 and Acrobat 9 Pro I didn't run in to this problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Anyone have any ideas?

HP LaserJet MFP M476dw paper size mismatch when copying or scanning from ADF

We have HP Color LaserJet MFP M476dw that has an issue when copying or scanning from the ADF.
Put a single A4 sheet in the ADF and choose copy, with all settings correct & no resizing, and the output copy is moved down the page (increased top marging by a couple of inches).
My initial thoughts were a paper size issue (e.g. treating A4 as Letter or vice versa) but all settings look correct. I have even done a reset and started over and the problem remains.
If I take the original and place it on the flatbed and copy from there with all the same settings then it works fine.
There is a similar issue when scanning from the ADF. Again, scanning from the flatbed works fine.
I've tried all I can think of. Does anyone have any further suggestions? Could it be a fault in the ADF?

Epson 810 - 10.6 and PS Elements 8 paper size options?

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard (now at 10.6.8). I have an Epson Artesian 810 that worked fine wirelessly. Finally got everything working again, however, all the paper size options have changed -- but it seems only in PS Elements 8.0. I used to have a long, intelligible list of paper size options, including specific sizes for the photo paper tray. Now, this is greatly reduced.
Anyone seen anything like this? When I try and print in Preview, the print options are all there. I'm wondering if upgrading to Elements 9.0 will fix the problem and get all my options back. I print all my photos through Elements.

Matthew, I dont' have an answer for your problem but wonder if you can help me with mine. I also have an R800 but since installing SL cannot get it to work correctly.
Initially I could print from it but had no printer settings.
When the new driver was issued by Epson a few days ago I thought my problem was solved. Downloaded driver and attempted to install but ran into a peculiar problem. As you know the install starts, downloads several files and then gives you the option to quit or continue. Not knowing which files have been downloaded I selected continue. However, this scenario continues ad infinitum and the only way I can quit the program is to do a force quit. I mean like I can literally sit for any time period you want to name and the install continue as if it's in a loop.
I have since deleted all epson files contained in library and in sys.pref.
Second attempt to install resulted in what appeared to be a normal setup including printer settings but now the printer will not print. Message reads error:/library/printer/epson
I feel that there must be some epson files left behind from the first install attempt but I don't seem to find them.
I've contacted epson and the only reply I got from them was 'download driver and install'.
After that lengthy explanation I have two questions.
First one, when installing the downloaded file should I quit the setup when the first query to continue or quit occurs, if not when?
Second question, where else would you look to be sure all the epson files are deleted before attempting a second install.
Really appreciate any help.

With Oki ML395 and Epson FX-1170 printers the paper size is incorrect

I've tried printing to an Oki ML 395 and an Epson FX-1170 (both dot matrix), through code, but the paper size is never the one that I configured.
The behaviour is the same for both printers.
I have set the Oki printer as the Windows default and also the report default, and chose the paper size "Fanfold 210mm x 12 in".
Then, when I preview the report, click the button to print and access the print options the paper size selected is always "Letter".
If I don't preview first, the print is always done with paper size "Letter".
I tried it on the designer and it works ok.
I tried changing the paper size to "A4" and it also works ok. Some paper sizes are correctly identified, while others are not and in theat case its used the paper size "Letter".
In these cases the CR used is 2008 SP3 and the .NET framework is 3.5 SP1.
My OS is Windows Vista but I have also seen this happen in XP, and the drivers installed are the ones from the OS.
I have also checked if the printers are unicode compliant and there is no mention on the specifications.
I've seen some issues with these kind of printers, but never this.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Considering that the Epson printer driver was last updated in 2003 and the Oki printer has never been updated I highly doubt they are unicode compliant.
You may try to determine the enum of the page size and pass that to the report, but that is the only idea I have...
The attached devcap utility may help.

Anyone having issues with custom paper sizes?

I've narrowed down my printing problems to be primarily when using custom paper sizes. I still get regular crashes with standard sizes, but cannot print at all if I set up a custom size in A3. I am able to print custom sizes in Lightroom so it must be related to Aperture. I much prefer the way my prints look from Aperture, don't know why but when I export jpg or tiff files from A3 and import into LR the prints are very dull and color is off.
Anyone?

I have exact same issue after in my Iphone 4s. This started after upgrading to IOS 6.0.1

Problem Managing Custom Paper Size Using Epson RX500

Since updating my Mac to the latest version Yosemite, when I now try to Manage Custom Paper Size in the Epson print box via my Photoshop Elements 11, Photoshop crashes. Has anyone experienced this problem? If so have you found a solution please?

Hello Bridge. Thanks for the reply. I am not sure where the Elements Print dialogue is but, having come back to answer, I can see the "More like this" box on the right and viewing those posts confirms what you say. It would appear from one of the posts that Apple is aware of the problem and may be working on it. However, one of the posts opposite suggested using Print Preview to set the custom print size and print from there. I found this works for me. So, thanks again for your consideration. Regards. Brian.

Epson R2880 - Will not print - paper sizes

I am having major problems with trying to print to a R2880. I have recently purchased it and have had problems with printing to it from the beginning. Sometimes it works but mostly it doesn't.
The Epson driver is 6.2 which is the latest. I am running Leopard. Do not want to upgrade to SL cause what I read shows FCS2 does not run on it.
Keeps on telling me that the "Paper source selected in the printer doesn't macy the paper loaded in the printer" which is of course bollocks.
I have tried the solution offered by a previous post which was to got to the print preview and then Cmd - P and then choose the right paper. Worked fine on an A4 but when I did the same for a 10 x 15 cm no go.
It suddenly started working the other day but when I chose a selection of 10 x 15's (varied portrait / landscape aspects) to print it did not orientate them correctly. The paper was installed in a portrait arrangement yet not one of the photos printed on the page correctly.
What a waste of time this printer and Aperture are.
Can anyone help on this most frustrating problem. I have had this printer for a few months and have only managed to print a handful of photos !
Regards

Hi Colin,
The R2880 is a little finicky when it comes to paper source. A couple of questions:
• What paper are you using? What size? Are you using the back tray or the main tray? I had a ton of problems with the back tray and that very error. I now always use the main tray, but it depends on the paper you use since certain types can only be loaded in the back.
• Are you making sure the preset you choose is for +sheet feeder+ and not +roll paper+?
The Preview solution you read about is probably mine and was brought on by SL. Fortunately 10.6.2 fixed that problem but I've still had the paper source error come up a couple of times - I need to open the print settings for the preset I want to use and save it again (it's as though it needs to be reminded that it should use the sheet feeder, even though that setting is saved right there in the preset).
My first thought was that your problem might have to do with the non-conventional paper size, but I also make custom 16x12 prints on 13x19 paper and don't have problems at all.
I'm guessing it's probably a combination of settings and paper type...

Managing Custom Paper Sizes with the Epson 2000P

Hi,
I recently started using the iMac and after installing the software for the Epson 2000P found that I could not print a 13 x 44 image. I set up a custom paper size and when the page printed it only printed 18" of the image. I tried the Epson 1280 with the same set up and was able to get 22". I thought maybe the file was to large a cut it in half with no luck. I increased the memory allotment of the program as well and still no luck. I have emailed and called Epson support and can't get any answers from them so I thought I would check here at Apple. If you have any advice I would greatly appreciuate it.
Thanks

Hi,
Crystal Reports 2008 supports custom page sizes. You can set this in the Page Properties for the report in the Crystal Reports Designer, I'm not sure if you can set it in the SDK as well.
