Epson PictureMate Deluxe and Mavericks

Mid-2009 Intel Mac recently reformatted with a clean new Mavericks from a USB based installer does not show Epson PictureMate Drivers available either in the Printer System Preferences or in Software Update. This installation of Mavericks has been troublesome from the start, and this is yet another in a long line of issues. (Finder disappearing and restarting, Safari crashing, etc...). This is the THIRD reinstallation of Mavericks and it looks to be more stable, but the Printer Drivers are missing. Oddly, in one of my previous attempts to isntall Mavericks, the Printer installation process worked perfectly.
Also, my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro which was gracefully upgraded from a Mountain Lion (10.8) has been bullet proof and rock solid.
Any idea how I can jiggle this iMac to recognize it needs to download and install the Epson print drivers to make the PictureMate work?

I resolved this myself by connecting the printer to a USB port, then running a reinstallation of Mavericks over the existing installation. This time the software was properly installed, and its newer version properly showed up in the Software update.

Epson scanner 1670 and Mavericks

I tried to install an Epson Perfection 1670 scanner after updating to Mavericks but can't find offical Epson update drivers and/or any workaround to fully use my scanner. Image capture sees the device, but doesn't allow me to use its slides/negatives part (just flatbed regular scans), same with VueScan. Is there any other solution available? No driver on Epson afwul web sites..... Can someone help me please?

the same thing happens to me, and there isnt any drivers avaliable, not from apple or epson. this is so frustrating

Bluetooth and Epson PictureMate

I was wondering if anyone has had a chance to see if the Epson Picture Mate printer worked on a Mac using Bluetooth. I have purchased a new Picture Mate and would like to know your experience using one of these with Bluetooth prior to making the investment for their Bluetooth adapter.

The Picture Mate works just fine on a M ..
Works very well too.

Epson PictureMate and AE

I'm trying to get my Epson PictureMate to print with the AE and also have tried connecting directly via usb connection to our iMAC/G5. Print Setup Utility (OSX 10.4.11) finds the printer and then I select "Epson" but then I get a list of Epson "gimp" drivers for Epson CL/EM/MC/MJ/PM/Stylus. Does anybody have any idea which driver to select?

I resolved this myself by connecting the printer to a USB port, then running a reinstallation of Mavericks over the existing installation. This time the software was properly installed, and its newer version properly showed up in the Software update.

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.

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:

Epson PictureMate Shows "Stopped" After Last Java and Security Updates

Hi,
After installing the following updates ("Final Cut Pro Update" (5.1.3), "Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 5" (5.0), "Security Update 2007-002 (PowerPC)" (1.0), "Security Update 2007-001" (1.0) and "Daylight Saving Time Update" (1.0)). My Epson PictureMate started showing the dreaded "Printer Stopped" issue noted y many other on many other printers.
I've tried the Printer Setup Utility "reset printing system", removing and adding back the printer etc. The Epson Photo 820 still works fine. The PictureMate will also work fine from any other account. The account I'm using it in is not an admin acocunt, but a Standard account. The other family accounts can also use the printer, so the issue is local to my 1 main user.
I've downloaded and tried the "PSR" utility from www.fixamac.com. The utility doesn't find anything wrong, but it does complain about CUPS permissions (as did Apple's Disk Utility). I'm thinking the resetting of the printer system deletes a number of directories and when they are recreated they seem to come back with permissions the system (and PSR) doesn't like. Both utilities repair and don't find the issues again, but no joy on the printing.
I've also dumped the preferences with no change.
Since other users can print fine, I'm assuming CUPS and the printer drivers are OK. Any idea what other secret files in my User folder could be messed up and affecting the single printer?
Thanks in advance.

PictureMate Deluxe will not print/Messes up my CX4200, too!

You all have been amazingly helpful with all of the questions I've had, so I'm hoping you won't mind taking this one on as well!
My PictureMate Deluxe is brand new. I did the installation, and it worked well the first time I used it. When I tried to switch printers to use my CX4200 on my Powerbook, it wouldn't work. It showed the printers in the printer utility, but nothing. Just a red exclaimation mark and no printing.
Then, I tried to switch back to my PictureMate Deluxe. That wouldn't print. Again, it showed up in printer utility. Red exclaimation mark. No printing.
I am using USB to connect, and I have the most recent software for everything, including iphoto and OS.
I got rid of my epson library and all, reinstalled the driver for the CX4200 off of the Epson site, and now THAT works. But PictureMate Deluxe is scaring me off from installing the software again because of all the trouble it caused me with my other printer!
Please help if you can!
Thanks in advance...

Iphoto won't print to Epson Photomate Delux

I can print to my Epson Photomate Delux using PREVIEW and from PHOTOSHOP, but NOT from iphoto. When I try to print from iphoto, the pics go on hold in the print box. I have tried to hit RESUME, but it just goes back on hold. One other thing, the pics that load from PS or PREVIEW show their names, but the ones that import from iphoto all say "untitled."
Why can't iphoto talk to my printer? It used to work (I haven't used the printer in several months). I've downloaded new drivers, restarted everything, blah, blah, blah...all to the same result. Any thoughts? I'm plugged in using a USB cable.
Thanks

One more thing, if the queue is stalled with multiple pics from different programs (PS, PREVIERW, ihphoto) printing will begin again after I delete the "untitled" pics from iphoto.
Thanks.

Printing Problem With Epson PictureMate PM240

I use an Epson PictureMate PM240 to print 4x6 proofs from negatives and slides scanned using a Nikon Coolscan V ED. So far, even without calibration, the prints I get using Photoshop Elements 5 (and previously 3.0) have been good enough. I understand that the PictureMate is not exactly a pro printer, but I like its small size and output for what I need it for.
I recently loaded Lightroom 1.1 for a 30 day trial. I like the idea of getting DNG files from Vuescan for a touch of processing in lightroom without having to save the files. I also love the user interface and workflow. However, for some reason, I cannot get a decent print to the PictureMate from Lightroom. I can use the same DNG file in PSE 5.0 and get a print close to what I see on my monitor. I can actually use the same file and print it directly off the PictureMate (by inserting the memory card into the PictureMate media reader) and get prints much closer to my monitor than from Lightroom. I tried for days and wasted lots of paper but I cannot get Lightroom to print like PSE/Photoshop/PictureMate(direct).
Is this the case where Lightroom needs a special printer profile? I don't have any for the PictureMate and my monitor is not calibrated. Still, I cannot understand why I can get good prints from PSE and (Photoshop CS3, at least the trial beta version) but not Lightroom. You would think the printing would be the same in Lightroom and Photosho/PSE as they are from the same company.
Any ideas?

Boy Patrick, no response at all after 2 days... I'll chime in here.
Printing to this printer from lightroom (LR) probably will not work. To print from LR you need have a printer that will allow the application to control the color management. The PM240 does not have this capability. You are probably wondering why you cannot let the printer manage the colors just like the other apps you mention. The reason being that the operating color space of LR is the very large ProPhotoRGB, and your printer is more than likely expecting a sRGB color space, a very common yet smaller color space. Reading a ProPhotoRGB image as if it is a sRGB will result in the dark muddy image that you see complained about in this forum very often.
If you want to use this printer and use LR to manage your images. After doing any editing that you like in LR. Export the images in sRGB format and load them onto a memory card. Then print directly from the card, a neat feature of your printer.
Good Luck.

How do I get accurate color when printing from PS6 to an Epson PictureMate printer?

I am trying to print from Photoshop CS6 to an Epson PictureMate color printer and an Epson PictureMate 225 printer. In both cases I want to let Photoshop manage color. I am finding no color profile for Epson in the list of profiles provided by Photoshop. The best I can do is choose “display” as my profile. Still my color prints do not match what I see on my screen in Photoshop. They are flat and washed out. How can I obtain print profiles for my Epson Printers to be used with Photoshop 6?

Epson would have to provide generic profiles. Check their website. Other than that simply let the printer (driver) manage things and only work in sRGB with monitor calibration. Most printer drivers for consumer devices are built around that assumption and will produce reasonably good results using their driver's logic.

Epson Picturemate Sizing

Go easy on me guys, I'm new to Macs. I'm trying to print from iPhoto to my Epson Picturemate. I'm getting 1/4 of the picture on the 4x6 paper. How do I force iPhoto to resize the photo for 4x6 paper? Thanks in advance!

shumes:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. To crop a photo to 4x6 in iPhoto bring it up in the edit window (double clicking on the photo is the default). Then in the edit window select 4x6 in the Constrain menu. A portion of the image will be whited out so to speak. If you want portrait go back to the Constrain menu and select Portrait at the bottom. Now you can drag the cursor over that part of the image you want to print and the rest will show pale. Now click on the crop button at the bottom and then on the Done button. Next follow these steps:
Steps for printing 4 x 6 prints from iPhoto:
1 - crop the photo to 4 x 6 beforehand in iPhoto.
2 - in Page Setup select your printer, proper page orientation and 4x6 or 4x6 borderless
3 - click once on the picture you want to print to make sure it's selected.
4 - now click on the Print button in iPhoto.
5 - in the iPhoto print window, select your printer again, select Style = "Standard Prints", Size= 4x6 and click on One photo per page.
6 - click on the Print button.
That should get you the 4x6 on the paper. I use an Epson R200 and am assuming the Picturemate would the same workflow. Good luck.

I to use iphoto library manager to save corrupted iphoto and each time it saves some and the first time it brings up iphoto, iphone goes into "not responding" mode. Using mac book pro, iphoto 9.5.1, and maverick 10.9.2.

I've had issues with my iPhoto "not responding" and as a result I am attempting to save my photos to an external hard drive using iPhoto library Manager but each time I start the program it saves some, and then when it starts iPhoto, iPhoto then goes into not responding mode. Using mac book pro, iphoto 9.5.1, and maverick 10.9.2. I have completed all of the photo library first aid steps several times, but it makes no difference, iphoto eventually goes to "not responding." Initial issues started with Time Machine back ups stopping because of iphoto. Thanks......

Do you have a back up?
If you're just trying to recover the photos you can do that much more simply:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Originals' or 'Masters'. (varies according to the version of iPhoto)
Your photos are inside - these are the originals as imported from your camera.

TS4001 How can I share Safari bookmarks between two iCloud accounts using IOS 7 and Mavericks?

Before iOS 7 and Mavericks, we were able to share Safari bookmarks between all of our devices. My wife had the primary iCloud account which was setup to share bookmarks, contacts, calendars and reminders. A secondary iCloud account was setup on my phone for only my email. Each phone had our private email accounts segregated and we shared all the bookmarks, contacts, calendars and reminders. When I saved a bookmark on my phone, I could see it later on our iMac or iPad. Now only my wife can sync bookmarks between her phone and the iMac or iPad. This *****!! This worked beautifully before we upgraded to the latest versions of OS & iOS. Is there a work around or a new way to set things up? I don't want to be stuck reading Safari on my phone when I have a 24" iMac sitting in the living room. I don't want to see all of my wife's email on my phone either. Do we need three iCloud accounts now? One main for sharing and two separate accounts for only email? Need help! Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

David,
Thanks for the reply. That's how I set it up originally. Although the new iOS 7 update lost some functionality. I found the following on the TUAW website. The Safari Bookmarks and Find My Phone options have been removed from the secondary iCloud accounts options. This is the problem. Everything worked great before we updated. I guess "new way" consolidates the iCloud accounts better with Maverick? Now I will have extra documents on my phone that I don't need. We will both have to share the same iCloud storage and backup space too. Have to try it out and see how it works. Thanks.

Load the drivers and you should then be able to add it in Print Center.
