Epson P-3000 rating in LR?

Can't find any answer to this online. I use the very nice Epson P-3000 (multimedia viewer I think Epson calls it) for storing/backing up photos on the road, instead of using a laptop when I want to travel light. Works very well.
In the evening before going to bed I usually go through photos I've taken during the day, delete the bad and rate the good. Back at home I transfer photos from Epson to my PC using the Epson Link2 software automatically to a specific folder. Now, running a little script in Bridge I can get the rating info that I've done on my Epson to show up in Bridge, very nice. I have installed a script supplied by Epson in Bridge for this purpose. Now the question is if I can do the same in LR.
Would LR be able to handle this info as well and if so, how do I go about it using PS CS2 and Bridge CS2?

Donald,
I don't know the answer, but will be looking at any answer since I have a P-4000 (I think that is the number) and it would be good to do as you describe.

Problems with Epson Stylus 3000 IP Ethernet

Problems with Epson Stylus 3000 IP Ethernet
The printer stops processing after reaching 1,72% of printing.
The Ethernet Cards led is on and blinking green.
I am running
Powerbook G4
OSX 10.4.5
Epson Stylus Color 3000 + Cups Gimp Print v4.2.7
I can se the printer in Epson MacAssist for OSX Ver 4.0.aE IP 10.0.0.6
I can se it as well in Safari under the ip adress 10.0.0.6
I have tried to test the printer in the Common Unix Printing System
I can see the printer there as well.
A test print here results in
"ipp" stopped unexpectedly with status 1
All my other printers work well and prints test sheets.
The printer has not worked since Tiger.

Can you please help me....
I can't seem to get the Print Set up utility to find the Epson Stylus 3000 Gimp.
I installed the GimpPrint Drivers that were on the Tiger 10.4.3 install DVD after I installed 10.4.3, and then updated 10.4.3 to 10.4.5.
When I first installed 10.4.3, I didn't install the GimpPrint Drivers. I went back to the DVD after updating to 10.4.5, and then installed the GimpPrint Drivers.
Can you please help me out in what I'm doing wrong. Everytime I try to find the Epson Drivers an "error:-50" comes up in the Printer Browser under IP Printer section.
Here's what I'm doing:
- I go into Printer Setup Utility
- I choose Add Printer
- I choose IP Printer
- I choose Line Printer Daemon - LPD
- I pop up the "Print using" and select the "EPSON".
- Then I choose "EPSON Stylus Color 3000 - Gimp-Print v5.0.0-beta2
- THEN I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE POP-UP! "An error occurrd while trying to add the selected printer. Error:-50"
Where did you find the:
Epson Stylus Color 3000 + Cups Gimp Print v4.2.7
Thank you for you help in advance!

Noise Ninja Problem when downloading images from Epson P-3000 hard drive

I've just downloaded JPEG images from my Epson P-3000 hard drive and when I try to sharpen the images using Noise Ninja plug-in in Aperture I get the following error message: Editing Error. This image cannot be rendered for editing because Aperture does not support the image format. I don't have any issues using Noise Ninja with other images (using latest Aperture version) and this is the first time i've downloaded images from the Epson rather than my memory card. I'm wondering if the issue is related to the Epson. The metadata of the image in Aperture confirms that the image is a JPEG so I'm not sure what's going on.

Epson r 3000 print too dark

Hi there,
I am waisting papr and ink and I am getting totally sick of this.... and clueless!
Situation:
I am a Mac newbie after hundred frustrating Win years and have a MacBook Pro late 2013.
It comes with Mavericks and all updats are installed.
I have two printers: An office printer (Canon) and a photo printer - the Epson Stylus Photo R 3000
Bot work, as far as shier printing is concerned. That was easy.
Surprisingly the photos I get out of my Canon printer are not bad at all, as much as the printer can.
But the Epson is producing crap.
Trying to describe my workflow:
Open Image in RAW converter (Canon DPP), convert to Tiff (16bit)
Open Tiff in Gimp 2.8.10
Make adjustments such as cropping etc if needed, scale to paper size, setup the layout (paper format, where to print on the papr etc) - this all works.
Go into Gimp Print dialog.
Set the color management to "ColorSync" - I should mention that I did setup Gimp to use the profile of the paper manufacurer (in my case Hahnmuhle).
Print preview - excellent
Print - not a bit, but way too dark (I am guessing, but it is easily 30 - 50% too dark, or in other word at least - 1,5 to 2 EV, if not more.
I am totally frustrated and it seems that there is no help in any forum.....

Have you calibrated your monitor?
99% of the time that prints are too dark, it's because your monitor is too bright. You need to properly calibrate your monitor and adjust your photos so they look correct on the profiled monitor.
Here's a decent article on the subject:

Printing on an Epson Color 3000

Hello all,
I managed to get ahold of a Epson Stylus Color 3000 printer with ethernet card...
but, the problem emerges. I attached a CAT-5 cable to it, and the "network test page" tells me little.
and the IP for the machine is 11.22.33.44
I have an old PowerMac 7200 running the Stylus RIP software (although it is very, very slow because it only has 15MB of RAM)
Anyone happen to know how to fix the printer to work on the network?
Thanks!

Dave,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
“Offending Command” could be a number of different issues, i.e., font(s), LZW compression of tiff images, memory etc.
Is this a new problem, i.e., printing from the G5 to the Epson 3000 worked before?
Can you find more info on the error by using the Console utility?
What application and version are you using?
With Stylus RIP, are you using Classic (since the RIP is for OS 9) on the G5?
Have you tried printing the document(s) directly from the G4?
Alternatively, try making your doc a PDF and then print the PDF doc.
If the doc is a multiple page, you could try to isolate the problem by printing a certain page(s), or deleting an image (if there is one).
Hope this helps and let us know what happens.

Is CS5 extended compatible with Epson products? I cannot select printer settings.

I've had this problem for a very long time with multiple Epson printers. This problem only applies to Adobe products as other image editing software work fine. The printer settings button does not work in Photoshop so I cannot select paper type or any of the other settings. Adobe blame the problem on Epson and Epson blame the problem on Adobe but the bottom line is, I'm left holding the bag as I paid a lot of money for these products and they don't work together. At least Epson will answer the phone and try to help. Adobe do "NOTHING" for you! I've been on here before with this problem with my last Epson Printer. It was a Stylus Photo 1270 and I was told by some wise guy that "it was a 13 year old printer, what do I expect." Well I have a brand new Epson R 3000 and I have the same problem. I'm using CS5 Extended and have all the latest drivers. Here is a link talking about this problem but it doesn't give any solution that works for me: Print settings option unavailable in Print dialog box | Photoshop CS5. I've already done everything it says here! Typical of Adobe ducking their head in the sand! I can get the print settings on other applications like Preview (no problem) which Epson claim, proves the problem lies with Adobe. An Adobe tech. told me on here (last year) that the problem was with Epson as they have to write the driver software to the application (Photoshop), yet Epson claim that the problem is not in the driver but in the application itsalf. Adobe will just bury their head in the sand and act like nobody is home!
Really sick of this crap, neil.

Thanks for getting back to me Gene. I will give that a try if I continue to have problems, but I have found a workaround solution, or at least discovered a glitch. Like I said, when I click the "Print Settings..." button, it fails to open up a Print Settings window, so I have no way of choosing the paper etc.. However, If I switch it from "Photoshop Manages Colors" to "Printer Manages Colors" and then back again, I can then click the "Print Settings..." button and it will open up a Print Settings window (go figure?). If I were to guess I would put the blame on Adobe's printer interface, not the print drivers from Epson. Like I said, this problem has been haunting me for a while on numerous printers. It's intermittent so sometimes it works alright and I forget about it, then it comes back, but now I may have discovered a workaround.
Cheers, neil.

Why is the AEBS bottlenecking my ReadyNAS devices leading to bad packets and TCP Retransmits?

Bad Packets Unrecovered TCP Retransmits TCP Retransmits w ReadyNAS NV NV+ and Airport Extreme Base Station 5th Generation
I got an Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS), 5th generation this past November to bring my entire network up to gigE standards and extend my wireless range a bit. I have really liked the AEBS 5th Gen overall since I got it 3 months ago. It was easy to setup and update and things have been noticeably faster. I can also easily take my netbook, laptop, and iPad out to my shop some 80 feet away from my AEBS and still surf rather well wirelessly too. I couldn't do this even with my previous D-Link wireless-n setup.
In December I picked up an old ReadyNAS NV+ to go along with my old ReadyNAS NV. When I finally started to setup the new network for my business in February, I noticed in the logs that I was getting a large numbers of bad packets, TCP retransmits, and unrecovered TCP retransmits. Previously, I had never had errors of any sort with any older network setups using linksys, dlink and netgear routers during the last 6 years.
Eventually cables, switches, and routers can go bad which results in the errors I have been getting so I went through the "Troubleshoot My Performance Problem/Check for Network Errors" section of the link below to try and figure out what was causing my problem.
(http://www.readynas.com/?p=310#Troubleshoot)
My Initial Setup:
Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS):
- 1 incoming Cat5e from Motorola Surfboard 6120,
- 2 Cat5e connections to my wifes work network with her business computer and VOIP phone.
- 1 Cat 5e interconnecting the AEBS to my wired network on the HP Procurve Switch.
The AEBS manages addresses via DHCP on my wired network for all of my devices on the HP Procurve 14008G Switch:
- 1 to NV
- 1 NV+
- 1 MacMini 2010
- 1 MacMini 2005
- 1 networked Epson R-3000 printer
1. Simple things first. Since I have always made all my own Cat 5e cable I figured I'd better get some better(?) cabling strait away. I went ordered new Cat 6 and Cat 6a cables to connect the NV, NV+, and my main Mac to the switch and connect the switch to the AEBS. The errors kept coming.
2. Then I separately connected each NAS unit directly to my computer by setting up the static IP on my computer first. Once I reconnected each ReadyNAS with the computer directly they defaulted to a static IP. Neither NAS had errors.
(http://sphardy.com/web/readynas/how-to-direct-connect-to-your-readynas/)
3. Errors were coming from either a bad Procurve 1400 switch or a bad AEBS. I hooked everything directly to my Airport Extreme and got lots of errors.
4. I decided to check the switch also. I altered each ReadyNAS's default static IP to one of my choosing individually. Then I hooked both ReadyNAS units to my HP Procurve 1400 switch. I hooked the switch directly to my computer and got no errors from either NAS. I continue to get no errors the next day.
5. When I first ran my tests I had Jumbo Frames turned Off. Currently, Jumbo Frames are On and there are still no errors and seems to be no slowness either.
Conclusion:
The Airport Extreme is the bottleneck causing the errors in my network.
Perhaps there is something I can alter which will rid me of the errors, but this type of error makes the AE seem to be pretty shoddy. A newer state-of-the-art router should not be bottlenecking my rather archaic slow network devices. Apparently, the 4th Gen AEBS's couldn't do Jumbo Frames, but this current model is supposed to, but I see no setting for changing the MTU.
Questions:
What could be causing the bottleneck?
Do I have a bad router?
How could I analyze this problem?
Has anyone else had similar issues and if so how were they resolved?
Current Setup:
All of my computers and NAS devices are hooked to my Procurve Switch each with its own Static IP.
The switch is working flawlessly with no Errors.
The network printer is now wireless and connected via the AEBS.
I am using wireless-n to connect to internet via the AEBS on my main machine.
I am sharing the internet connection with the other Mac Mini on the switch and any other machine I plug into the switch (not ideal).
Problem is:
I am not a systems administrator and don't really want to tinker with setting up Static IP's for the machines I hook and unhook to the switch.
I want the AEBS to manage addresses via DHCP so everything accessing my router will mindlessly be able to access all things on my network.
Can the AEBS be made to not produce errors or do I just have a lemon.

Hi Bob,
That's the strange thing. When I had both GHz channels working on one SSID, once in a while my iMAC would pick the 5 GHz channel (44 seems the best for me). I always use channel 1 for 2.4 GHz because I get the fastest speeds with it.
When the iMac would pick 5 GHz, the slowdown was very obvious. As I explained in my (long) first post, I immediately felt the difference. Now the $50K question - since the 5 GHz channel at that point was stronger than the 2.4 GHz one, why wasn't the speed faster? Why was it so slow compared to 2.4 GHz? That's what rattling my brain. If the 5 GHz signal's strong enough to get picked by my iMac, then why isn't there a commensurate speed increase? There must be something else going on here besides signal strength. If the 5 GHz spec says that I must have full strength to get 5 GHz speeds, then that makes sense. But I think it doesn't, that's why I believe I have a configuration problem somewhere, or a faulty AEBS.
I might add that my firmware's up-to-date in the AEBS and AX, and Airport Utility too.
I think heading to 4Runner's camp - even with high signal strength (and I would consider 3 of 4 bars high), the 5 GHz speeds aren't showing themselves.
Here's some snap's of my AEBX's setup:
I think my configuration's fine, although I've tried so many different options, I'm a little confused, but I know that changing the Multicast Rate doesn't have any noticeable effect on the speed. I also have "Use Wide Channels" checked, but as I said, the 5 GHz band is awfully slow for using both channels. I have set "N" only, so no "G" clients to slow it down.
Mind boggling!

Color problems when printing

When i´m printing a picture from LR5 to my Epson R-3000 the pictures look like they were taken with IR-film. Preview looks good as well as the printers preview but the result looks almost like a negative. What have I missed?

No I´ve chosen the printer to manage the color and in the printer settings I´ve chosen AdobeRGB and I´ve also tried Epson Standard sRGB but none of them are working. I´ve also tried to manage the color from LR, choosing both Adobe RGB and sRGB and turning of color management in the printer settings but it still looks just as bad...

Digital photo viewer recommendations

I'm looking for a digital photo viewer to take on trips for reviewing a photo session and/or showing off photos to friends and family. I prefer it to have a large, bright, finely detailed screen, and SD support would be required. Zooming in to see photo detail and relatively fast transfers are also important. Raw support (Nikon D80) is also a plus. Music, Internet connection, very large hard drive, or other non-photo functions are purely secondary and would not be missed.
I'd go for the Epson P-3000 if it weren't a relatively bulky 1 lb. I can get a refurb for $375. I've also considered the Apple iPod Touch 8 GB, but I'd rather swap the non-photo features for, say, a 16-30 GB hard drive for the 8 GB price.
Thoughts? Alternatives?
Thanks!
Neil

>digital photo viewer to take on trips for reviewing a photo session and/or showing off photos to friends and family. I prefer it to have a large, bright, finely detailed screen
i large, bright, finely detailed screen
for me means a laptop;
i for reviewing a photo session
for me again means a laptop, but the huge LCDs on the new D300/D700/D3 Nikons also excel at that, much improved over my D2x and your D80. For
i showing off photos to friends and family
an iPhone or an iPod work very well if you want pocketable. Personally I use a Macbook Pro with external drive as well as a 2G iPhone.
Note that memory cards are cheap enough now to be utilized for field storage of images.
Apple alleges a major new product intro by early fall, so you may want to wait and see what it is.

Color shift when printing with LR 3.6

LR 3.6, win 7, screen Nec PA 241 W, Epson R 3000. When printing with colors managed by LR and paper/R 3000 profiles, I get prints with a strong color shift (printer pilot "mode" : desactivated) . How can I correct it ?

You answered your own question: CS5. There have been a slew of reports of workflows spun upside down when upgrading to CS5. It may require updating your system software and/or Adobe applications, along with any printer driver updates that may be lurking out there somewhere. The twist to your situation is ( and is very common ) that everything was working before and now it does not. Or there is a certain print disorder of some sort. Very troubling. I wish I had a smoking gun answer for you, but I don't. It sounds like you have a very viable workflow in place that worked before and damn well should perform for you now. I'd stick with what works and dump what doesn't ( if you can ).

Reinstall Windows XP - What LR-files do I backup?

Sorry if this has been covered. Been surfing around searching for an answer to this all evening but can't find anthing better than this link about LR Preferences and other file locations (http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=333660).
What else do I need to think of? I run LR from a Windows XP SP2 laptop with +10,000 photos scattered on internal and external as well as network drives. I reinstall for several reasons but the most important is my own stupidity not using Ghost as much as I should for the last couple of years and installing and testing dodgy software. That's murder for XP!
So now I've worked on large proportion of my photos in LR and obviously do not want to lose this. I've put in keywords, IPTC, ranked, developed, etc. What do I need to back up and what is the procedure for not having to do all this work again when I have reinstalled Windows?
Thanks for any help on this issue.

Thanks Don. Sure there's nothing else I need to backup? Will do a Ghost just in case, but good to know anyway. Another Q comes up, reinstall procedure. Should I just do a clean reinstall and then just replace the db that LR creates in the process with the one from the backup, or is there anything else I need to think about?
You're absolutely right Judith. It has to do with a number of issues. One of the more important ones is an exterenal drive that isn't performing as I would like. It's a Lacie Ethernet Disk mini 500GB, which I was going to use for photos and nothing else. A very nice feature is that it is capable of being a USB2-drive and an Ethernet drive at the same time. I copied all my photos to the new Lacie drive organised it very nicely into a nice folder tree and started importing photos in LR, only to find that the drive is painfully slow in USB mode, even though it says connected at 459mbps. As an Ethernet drive I would understand if it was a bit slow, but as USB?!?!.
So there I was spending a lot more time importing than planned and I still had to use LR to edit some photos. Working with photos off the new Lacie proved to be a nightmare even worse than importing them in the first place. So I had to move the photos I needed to work on back to a normal USB2 drive to actually get some work done. Every now and then when I'm travelling I bring my Laptop instead of my Epson P-3000 and import shoots to the internal drive and then move them to the old Lacie USB2 drive when I get back home. Therefore, I have photos on 3 different drives, half of the imported and half of them not. A real mess, thanks to a drive that didn't perform as well as I thought it would.
Backup of all this is done automatically to a couple of Maxtor Ethernet drives incrementally every week and fully every month, so data should be fairly safe.

Get passed Printer Paused

Set up: Epson Stylus Color 3000 with Network Interface Card (NIC) in 10.5 Leopard. It prints ok from 10.4 and another computer on 10.4 but the 1.7a driver doesn't work in 10.4 and hasn't been updated since 2003.
When trying to print it buffers data through then goes to Printer Paused. If I watch close I can see
/usr/libexec/cups/backend/ipp failed
Even updating to the 5.1.4 Gutenprint driver gutenprint-5.1.4-UB.dmg still left me with a paused printer
This backdoor process gets it printing but the queue has to be cleared manually.
Go to the address of the Epson SC 3000 printer in Safari
http://192.168.123.115/
Under the information heading on the left click on IPP
Copy the line next to IPP URL
http://192.168.123.115:631/EPSONIPPPrinter
Back in Safari, go to http://localhost:631/ which magically opens the back door. [I have NO idea how you're supposed to find THIS on your own!]
Either click on the "Add Printer" button below the Welcome! banner or click the Administration tab and under the Printers heading click on "Add Printer"

CUPS doesn't remove jobs from the queue. You have to delete them manually before the next job can go through.

Try deleting the printer, deleting the job queue and reinstalling the printer again.
