Epson Photo R2400 printing problems

I'm new to Mac, and I'm having problems printing from Photoshop CS2 for Mac to a brand new Epson Photo R2400 printer attached to my MacPro via the front panel firewire connection. The problem seems to occur with larger files (91mbyte or greater). The printing is interrupted my a "Printer Communication Error" which gives me no other choice but to shut down the print job, which results in my expensive, partially printed photo being ejected from the printer...this is getting expensive, folks...anybody with a solution to this problem? BTW, I downloaded the latest drivers for Mac from the Epson website and installed them, so I don't think it's a driver issue.
Thanks

Wow. I haven't seen that one. I have a 2200 on FireWire on my Mac Pro. But the biggest file I remember printing was 71MB.
Are you by any chance using custom paper sizes? I had a communications problem when I set up a custom paper size that didn't use the printer's margins, a problem I found through Google.
You may also want to inquire on the forums of some high-end printer websites. Here is one forum:

  • 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.

  • Bought a new Mac Pro, purchased a Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter, then hooked up Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer but the system preferences does not see the printer. Started, restarted, hit the " " to add a  printer but no go.

    How to connect via Firewire/Thunderbolt adapter an Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer to a new Mac Pro

    When you switch from USB to FireWire, you have essentially installed a new (i.e., different) Printer.
    In the Add-a-Printer dialog, delete[-] the existing Printer queue which is set up for USB. Then, with the Printer connected via FireWire, Add [+] a new Printer queue and it should set it up correctly this time.
    To go back to USB, you would have to delete and re-add in a similar fashion later.

  • Epson r800 dvd print problems

    I've got an Epson Photo R800 printer connected to my imac G5 running on Mac OS 10.3.5. I did loads of research before choosing this printer, and made sure I had the system requirements Epson ask for by checking the Epson and Apple sites. Epson claim this printer will work with OS 10.1.3 and above.
    I've run Tech Tools on my computer just to check that it's a happy bunny, and it passed all tests with no problems.
    The printer prints photos beautifully, I couldn't be happier with it, but it won't print on CD/DVDs, which is one of the main reasons I bought it.
    When I try to print on DVD using the Epson Print CD software bundled with the printer, I get the error message ' Epson printer driver dealing with CD printing is not installed'.
    I uninstalled the printer drivers and re-installed them from the original discs, but still got the same problem. I downloaded the print cd software from the Epson site and installed it, but still got the same problem.
    I contacted Epson 5 times about this: first, they advised me to take the steps I already had.
    Then they showed me the manual print 'work around' which involved ignoring the error message, and this looked hopeful with the printer beginning to make whirring noises, but then another error message comes up saying that the output tray is in the wrong position, which, trust me, it isn't.
    Then Epson promised to send me discs which they claimed would solve the problem. When they didn't send anything, I rang again and they sent a disc, but it was for Windows and for a completely different printer.
    Then I got mad, because all this had taken 2 months, and I'd lost work because of it. So I rang again (it took an hour and a half to get to speak to someone), and asked to speak to the manager, who sent me the correct disc, of a updated version of Print CD. I installed it, it didn't solve the problem.
    Now Epson are saying that I have to upgrade my OS, which, as everything is working fine apart from this, I am loathe to do. I've got Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro and After Effects on there and everything is ticking along fine - I work with Macs and have had bumper problems trying to get these versions of this software to work with a newer OS there, so I'm not keen to muck about with things at home when I'm happy with everything as it is. Also, when the printer's advertised as working with 10.1.3 and above, why should I?!
    Has anyone else had problems with an R800 and mac os 10.3.5? Any ideas? This is such a drag, and I fear that if I have to speak to Epson one more time, I may trash the telephone in frustration.

    I have tried everything I can think of! Updated to 10.6.3v 1.1, reset printing, searched the forums, prayed, and have just about given up. As posted previously, my other imac that i did not update to 10.6.3 prints fine.
    I appreciate all the tips I have received but does anyone else have suggestions? What should I do next? Is this unresolvable? Purchase a new printer??

  • 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).

  • Epson Photo R3000 prints as a negative, what is causing the interference?

    Hi All
    A frustrating morning, new printer arrives (yay!),  but now I find my new Epson Photo R3000 prints fine from photoshop but prints come out as a negative image from aperture
    I've already turned the printer settings to use colorsync rather than the epson engine for colour management to no avail - I have to assume that there's something in aperture that is being applied that is causing the issue, but just can't see what.
    I can't be the first to find this as an issue with a new epson out of the box, Can anyone point me to where i can turn off whatever is causing the interference?
    Best Regards
    JT

    interesting - this got me in the right direction.
    Aperture was set to 'black and white', the printer dialogue was usign colorsync to enforce a paper profile generated by i1profiler an and i1io (or an epson profile).
    when i set aperture's rendering brick to do it all 'in the printer' it's fine.
    Cheers, knew it'd be something dumb!

  • 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.

  • Using a epson photo 2200 printer wirelessly

    I have an Epson stylus Photo 2200 printer hooked up to my airport. When I go to print photo quality pictures and go to setting to pick the paper the Epson tools 4 unexpectedly quits. Thus leaving me with no choices in paper..... when I hard wired the printer with a USB it worked as it should.... is this a common problem with a work around or is this the way life is with this printer?  Thank you for any help.

  • Illustrator cs4 and Epson Stylus R2880 printing problems

    I am having printing problems.  I am trying to print from my cs4 to my epson stylus photo printer r2880 and am having problem with my picture getting cut off on the left side when I print.  The print screen looks perfect but when I go to print, it always cuts off the left edge and the bottom.  I tried playing with the x and y's but have no idea what I am doing.  Does anyone have this combination of cs4 with the R2880 printer and can help me solve my problem?

    Hi Wade,
    I have tried playing around with that but I am not sure what I am doing.  Here's what it is set at.
    On my drop down print screen, i have the size set as US Letter (Sheet Feeder Borderless (retain size).
    When I check the 'fit to page' button it actually puts a bigger white boarder around it.  The fit to page number says (96.4706%).  Shouldn't it say 100%?  If I leave it as do not scale I still have a small border around it.
    I am not sure about the xy settings.  When I have it to 'fit to page' it is:
    Top left corner (0,0)  Top right corner (0,0)
    Bottom left corner (0, .1632)  Bottom right corner (0, .1632)
    If I have do not scale button clicked:
    Top left corner (0,0)  Top right corner (0,0)
    Bottom left corner (0, -.225)  Bottom right corner is (-.3, -.225)
    Do these settings look correct?  If not, what should my setting say and how can I set it without the setting changing back everytime I open this window.
    Thanks for responding,
    Celeste

  • I customize my paper size and print size and am then viewing a photo on my screen. I print it out and it chops off about 5% of all edges of my original photo on the screen. Why does it do that? It is driving me crazy. I use an Epson Photo 2200 printer.

    What print and paper sizes are you using?  Are you trying to print a borderless print?  Does your printer support borderless for that particular size?  Are you printing to the custom stock size or to a larger stock size?

  • Epson 5800, 6200 printer problems

    I have an iMac 24". After downloading Adobe reader 8, I can no longer print out a PDF-file. Some pictures print but not the text.
    Some days later there are major printing problems. Both printers ( PS3 ) dosen't print at all. The printers are stopped. When I press the continue button, printing process starts but get stopped again. I have reset the Printers system, checked for the latest printdrivers 1.0, checked USB connections in the systeminformation. How do I choose generic PS3 printer? Can that help or what's the problem?

  • Trouble Printing with a Epson Photo R2400

    So, this printer does weird things. It prints fine from regular apps like safari, MS Word or even PhtoShop. However, if you try to print a photo from iphoto it it will send a print job to the printer and then suddenly stop. So far I have done the following:
    1) Removed the printer completely and reinstalled it
    2) Downloaded the newest drivers from epson and installed them
    3) Deleted all user prefs related to iphoto and printing and printing services
    4) Ran disk warrior to see if any file system corruption was causing it
    5) Installed customer color profiles from that printer that epson released.
    6) Tried a new user account all together

    I'm trying to print from Aperture 1.5 using a Epson R2400 on a Macbook Pro. Also using the Intel driver. In the printer settings the print settings and color management are crossed out. Anyone else with this problem? Any solutions?
    Thanks

  • Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer driver will not update from 2.53 to 3.0

    I am having an issue with installing a print driver from Epson's web site. I do not have access to the print options or any other settings of the printer when i try to FILE>PRINT. The choices are crossed off the list and say "This panel is not compatible with your computer. Contact the printer manufacturer for the latest version of your printer software."
    It says my driver is version 2.53, I installed the 3.0 Driver numerous times today, one of which was with an Epson tech support representative and their conclusion was that it is something wrong with my computer.
    The printer prints and is recognized in the print & fax utility; i can add and remove it at will, but the 2.53 will not upgrade to 3.0.
    Has anyone had this problem?

    Hi Apos, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Is this the driver you got, v3.10...

    I'm so embarrassed.  The reason I was having trouble printing is because I did not install the latest print driver from Epson for Mountain Lion 10.8.1.   I thought of this in the shower and tried it and now everything is fine.

  • Epson stylus photo r2880 printer problem

    I changed the settings for printing color prints and now I can't correct what I've done.  I was getting dark prints and so I figured I'd try a different setting... between "Printer manages colors" and "Photoshop manages colors".  I've completely mucked things up so now I'm getting really dark prints with very little magenta and cyan.  I'd like to return to what I had as I'm on a deadline but, I can't remember what the original setting were.  Relative Colorimetric or Absolute?  Was Black Point Compensation checked? Was 16 bit/channel checked?  I'm so confused and I have prints that clients need.  Thanks in advance for any HELP!  Gregory

    be sure to UnCheck the 16-bit option in the Epson print dialogs (it is a known bug that causes dark, off-colr prints)
    try reviewing this CS6 Photoshop Manages Colors workflow
    and the troubleshooting tips there
    make sure you get a cean nozzel test pattern and are printing on the correct side of the paper...
