Printing with 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' colour setting to Epson Stylus photo 2100

I have just upgraded my work Mac (G5 Dual 2ghz PowerPC running OSX 10.5.4 and 6gb Ram) to CS3. Brilliant, except when I came to print out a presentation for a client, it keeps crashing illustrator. It always happens when I try and print to my Epson Stylus Photo 2100 using 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' colour settings. We have previously be using 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' colour settings (as this gets a pretty true colour representation out of our CMYK printer). All the other settings work fine, but lacks the rich colour of the emulated setting. I don't seem to be able to get even close by adjusting the setting in the colour settings panel.
Does anyone know of a way round this, or of a patch to fix this? I have been checking out the internet, but cant find the Illustrator settings from version 6 (i'm sure it was very basic - but my boss wont except anything but those settings).
I have tried printing with 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' colour settings to our Lexmark laser printer C522 (basic colour results) but it was able to print. Not sure why it should work on one printer but not another?
The printer we are using is a Epson Stylus Photo 2100, with the latest driver 3.09.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I wonder if it is a conflict with the system settings or Adobe Bridge settings somewhere. I used to use "Emulate Illustrator 6...", but always had a RIP interpret the information. I can't think of any reason why Illustrator would crash. I'd send Adobe Tech Support a note about it, maybe they can figure out what's going on. By the way, I sometimes switch my settings to "Emulate Illus 6..." and, like you, have had no problems ( but, I'm still in v10 via 10.3.9 ).

Trying to print w/ an Epson Photo R260 and a Buffalo LPV3 USB Print Server

Long story. I had a home network with my iMac, my wife's PC and a Brother Multi-Function (networkable) printer...everything worked great. Tried to add an Epson Photo R260 so I can print photos and DVDs. Purchased a Buffalo LPV3 USB Print Server. Spent two long nights on the phone with Buffalo Tech Support (great guys!) and got the printer working with both the iMac and PC...so it seemed. Turns out the Epson would print documents from the iMac, but not CD/DVDs...it kept telling me that the CD Printer Driver wasn't installed. After several calls to Epson Tech Support (not so great), found out that the culprit was the Gutenprint Printer Driver that the Epson was using with the Buffalo Server via Bonjour. Replaced the Gutenprint with the proper Epson driver and everything is hunky-dory...as long as the Epson printer is plugged directly into the back of my iMac. As soon as I connect it to the Buffalo Print Server, it stops working.
I'm no rocket surgeon, but it seems to me that if when I'm setting up the printer with Bonjour, if I could direct it to find the proper driver, everything would be happy and I could print away. Any ideas how I can make all this wonderful stuff work together? I'd even be willing to forgo using the Epson on the network if there's a good (and relatively inexpensive) way of making the printer work with my iMac via Bluetooth. Thanks...

For the record, I have successfully been able to print with the printer connected straight to the Macbook.
Is the new 7.1.1 firmware going to do magic?

Epson Photo RX600 no longer recognized by Image Capture but still prints

Recently my Epson Photo RX600 disappeared from Image Capture (in between doing an overview and final scan) and I can no longer seem to find/assign it. I am still able to print to the device through my Mac and to scan/copy using the buttons on the device, but no luck on scanning through the Mac. Any advice?
Thanks.

My name is Syd and I work for Epson America, Inc.
If nothing has been changed on the computer itself, you may want to re-install the ICA scanner driver and restart. If this does not work and the RX600 is connected directly to your Mac USB port, we would recommend contacting tech support to more quickly determine the issue as there are variables involved. The direct number is 562-276-4382.
Here to help,

Netgear WNDR3700, Tp-Link WPS510U, Epson Photo 1400 and PowerRIPX: wireless connection

Hi All
I need some advice regarding a wireless connection to my inkjet printer.
I have recently replaced my router with a Natgear WNDR3700 dual band device (2.4G and 5G). Connected and working wirelessly are my MacBook Pro, iPhone, Zeppelin Air, smart TV. Connected and working wired are my satellite modem, VoIP ’phones and laser printer.
However, I have an Epson Photo 1400 with a Tp-Link WPS510U which isn’t working. It worked with the old router.
Netgear’s Genie application shows the printer to be available under AirPrint.
The printer driver I use is PowerRIPX PostScript.
The TP-Link has the correct IP address from the previous configuration (192.168.1.10).
Printing shows the document processing in the print queue, but there is no flashing green LED on the front of the printer and no output results.
So … how do I actually get this to work? Advice gratefully received.
Cheers
Paul

I keep getting a "waiting for printer to become available when trying to print on my Epson Photo Stylus 2400. It used to work.

I'm trying to print a .psd image from Photoshop CS5 using my Epson Photo Stylus 2400 printer. Yesterday, I downloaded a suggested upgrade and it hasn't worked since then. I used Time Machine and replaced the Epson utility with the old one. I then get a message:
Waiting for printer to become available...
and nothing happens. I need to be able to print!

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.

Unable to print from a Mac using Maverick 10.9.2 on an Epson Photo printer with Photoshop CS4. Can you help?

I am trying to print in Photoshop CS4 on an Epson Photo printer (3880) from my Mac. I just upgraded to Maverick 10.9.2 when the problem started. Can you help.

I have the answer. It took quite a while but I know why the 3880 won't print from Photoshop 4 with Maverick. It is due to the Epson .icc page description files. The way to solve the problem is to make your own .icc. OK, so you don't know how to do it. This is what I did so now I get the quality prints I expect from an expensive printer.
You need to go to www.datacolor.com/spyderprint and purchase the Spyderprint hardware and software. It comes as a package for $300 to $350 depending on if you get a sale. The software will print on the 3880 test sheets of color blocks. With the hardware reader you then read the colors on the test sheets printed. What this does is match the monitor image with the printer, ink and paper you used. It makes an .icc page description file for you to select instead of the Epson .icc file. When you print again select the new .icc file and also choose "Printer Manages Colors" instead of "Photoshop Manages Colors" I know this is usual but it works. When you are done you will be smiling too with your beautiful results.
One other thing. If you want, it is optional, also purchase the Spider 4 Pro for $150. It calibrates your monitor and helps make excellent prints.
I understand it is more money and you already probably have a good computer, expensive camera to go with the 3880 so spend the extra money so it all works together.
I hope this helps.

Problem with Epson Photo 3170 Scanner

Hi,
I bought a new Apple and installed Mac OS X 10.6.8 and my epson photo 3170 scanner is not working.
I read here that my scanner is supported -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#epson
I did Software update and downloaded the latest version, but still doesnt work.
I also installed Roseta, but i cant find the option in Photoshop (using control+i) it only gives me option for 32bit mode.
any ideas?
thanks ;-)

This is the latest update, not supporting 10.6.x, so i turned to apple, but didn't work either.

Hello, I have exactly the same problem. I could have written the same text. And I have'nt found solutions. Except, perhaps, change this printer (and quit HP?).
Any suggestions would be really much appreciated.
Thank you for your possible responses.

I need a driver for Epson Photo Stylus 2200 for OS 10.5.8 PPC

I need a driver for Epson Photo Stylus 2200 for my OS 10.5.8 Power PC G5. Does anyone know where to locate one? Epson does not support this version of the Mac. They have drivers for 10.4 and 10.6, but not for 10.5. Perhaps there is someone has a clue as to where I can find an original driver disk or download for the my Epson.
Thanks

Will an epson photo 2400 scanner work with OSX 10.7?

Will an epson photo 2400 scanner work with OSX 10.7?
If so where do I get the drivers/software to run it?
I have used it with aquire, but only in flat bed scanning.
I am not able to use the film/slide mode anymore because the software that came with it is for 32 bit macine code.
Any ideas?

I realize this isn't a direct answer to your question, but I have an Epson Perfection 1670 flatbed scanner. I plugged it into a USB port after installing Lion, and it works fine with both the Image Capture and Preview applications. ("FIne", for me - I don't have a need for slide/transparancy scanning. Image Capture recognizes the scanner can do it, giving two modes for transparancy scanning, but in a quick and dirty test a minute ago it didn't seem to work. Since I don't need the capability, I'm not going to struggle with it to see what I've done wrong.)
Good luck

Printing problems with CS5 and Epson Photo R2880 printer

I'm having problems getting good prints when using Photoshop CS5 with my Epson Photo R2880 printer, problems I never had with CS4. Here's the situation:
If I take a PSD file and print it using CS4, everything works out perfectly. But if I take that same PSD file and print it out using CS5, the print is now offset top to bottom, as well as left to right, along with a 1/8" black strip being printed down the right edge of the paper. As far as I can tell, everything is set the same.
I've compared all the print information found in the Print dialog summary box between CS4 and CS5 and everything appears to be the same. I've verified that I'm using the latest print driver with my printer, and I am. It's 8.27. I've verified that I've checked off the box to center the print to the paper, each time I've made a print. And in trying to figure out what's going on, I've discovered that this problem occurs with any paper size when using CS5, but not with CS4.
I'm stumped and frustrated and without any more ideas as to what I should do next, except to always print my projects using CS4. If anyone has an idea for me, please let me know! Thanks!
P.s. I'm new at using this forum, and though I thought I sent this out once already, I never saw it posted. If I'm in error and it's already out there, sorry for the mistake and posting it twice.

>"Unfortunately then I'd have to say all bets are off. The only true test is to print with the standard materials that Epson has designed their printer for. Only if that works well should you be trying third-party materials. For example, third-party inks in general are of poorer quality, are inconsistent, clog more, and in the long run, do not save you anywhere the amount of money they advertise over the genuine Epson products."
Getting very nice results with an R1800, Inkjetfly CIS, and Red River paper. The R1800 has never had Epson ink run through it and has no abnormal clogging problems. In fact, clogs are rare.
Getting near perfect matches to the monitor with both Colorvision and x-rite calibrating/profiling equipment. The printer stays on 24-7 so the only ink used, other than printing, is a periodic nozzle check. I am not alone in this, so blanket statements like the above are specious at best.
And no, I don't sell prints for big bux, so whether they are going to last a hundred years is not a concern. Besides, until someone is around long enough to verify those claims, the jury is out. I've got color prints from the wet days that are fading after 20+ years. Third party inks are not necessarily lower quality than OEM. One of the reasons for the development of high quality third party inks was the dissatisfaction of B&W and fine art printers with the OEM products.
Of course the cheap refilled/knockoff carts being hawked on ebay and the like are a different story.

Photoshop CS6 is not recognizing my Epson Photo 1400 printer...how to fix?

I cannot print anything from Photoshop CS6. When i try to print any / all types of files from Photoshop CS6 to my Epson Photo 1400 printer, I get the following error message:
"There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."
I can print all / anything (.pdf .tif.png, etc.) from ALL other applications-except from Photoshop.
I only have one printer and it is recognized in my System Prefs.
I have OS X 10.9.2 (13C64) and Photoshop 13.0 x64
What to do....?
Thank you in advance!!!

Hi Chris,
I have the current version of PS and the most current printer driver. I deleted the Adobe CS6 Prefs.psp file and relaunched PS. I actually got closer this time, it looked like i could print but then i got this error message: ColorSync color matching may produce different results than printer color management. Either Photoshop color management or printer color management is recommended. I clicked Ok , the print preview window no longer showed my document and when I went to hit the print button, the original error message came up again. I go to File / Print and Print is no disabled (grayed out).

Problems printing - Epson Photo 2200

I'm having problems printing to my Epson photo 2200. I'm running Mac OS X version 10.4.11. I notice that in the print window there are no longer options for color management, as in to turn it off. The problem I am having is when printing the images come out dark or the colors are just way off. I've tried all I can think of. I'm not a computer guy. I mainly print from Adobe Photoshop 7.0. I've tried different things but it comes down to the fact I don't have the same print screen that they show me and I can't turn off the color management, which may be the problem.
Has anyone else have tis problem?
I need help!!

Welcome to the forums VW!
Many have similar problems, but when you go to Print, look for the Copies & Pages drop down, select Color Sync and see if it's there. Some drivers will have it under Printer Options, or such things.
