Epson "print settings" lost

Hi,
I have been using an Epson PM-A850 printer (similar to Stylus X500 in U.S.) with my eMac with no problems but when I try to print from my MacMini through printer sharing I cannot get the full pulldown menu for printing. The "print settings" option is missing so I cannot select to print in black only. I have moved all the print preferences from the eMac to the Mini and also the Epson Print Utility but it makes no difference. Any ideas? I have installed the print driver from the original Epson disc and also tried it from the Epson website but to no avail.

Great news Cunnla, thanks!
I think it the Drivers can't request/transfer that info via Printer Sharing. Perhaps a Cups Driver?

  • Epson Printer Settings

    I am hoping someone can help with a problem I am having changing the Epson printer settings in PSE 10.  I am using ColorLife paper with my Epson Stylus Photo R280 printer.  Since the printer driver does not support ColorLife paper, I need to adjust the printer driver to "Ultra Premium Photo Paper Glossy", Best Photo, and color management (i.e., set Color Controls for Magenta to -12, and Cyan/Yellow to -7).  However, every time I make that adjustment and close out of the printer settings in PSE 10 and then go back in, the Color Controls are set to ICM, with the box for "Off (No Color Adjustment)" checked.
    I've tried making the changes in the printer driver outside of PSE 10 as well as under the advanced settings in PSE 10.  I also reinstalled the most up-to-date printer driver and the settings still will not take.  Without the ability to change the color controls, the output on ColorLife paper has a greenish tone and the density of some of the dark contrast is way off.
    I'm pretty sure the problem is with PSE 10 as I have not had this issue with any other software using the Epson printer driver.  Any ideas on what I can try would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you specified to let the printer manage colours?
    Also see that warning message about enabling colour management in the printer preferences dialog.
    If those are the settings you've tried and they don't "stick", try re-setting your PSE Preferences by holding down the Ctrl+Alt+Shift keys while launching the Editor and saying "Yes" to deleting the preferences.

  • Lost Epson print settings in CS5. Help

    When I initiate a print in CS4, I get the Epson options to choose paper settings, etc. In CS5, the file just starts to print. When I click on the button that says Print Settings, nothing happens. I have both CS4 and CS5 still on my computer so I am working in 5 and then printing in 4. Surely there is a fix for this???? Thanks!

    In CS5, the "Print Settings" button has replaced "Page Setup". Click on it before clicking print. If you don't, it'll use the previously used settings.
    If "nothing happens" when clicking the "Print Settings" button, try switching printers or try switching from "Photoshop Manages Colors" to "Printer Manages Colors" (or vice-versa). If all else fails, relaunch Photoshop while holding the command, control, shift and option keys (one of them may not be needed, but I can never remember which, so I just mash them all) to delete the application preferences.

  • CS5 no Epson 'Printer Settings'

    Mac OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Epson 3880 Printer version 8.64 incompatability issues -
    can't print with printer driver, can't get 'Printer Settings'.

    And have you contacted Epson about the problems with their driver?
    Have you checked for updated drivers that might solve the driver problem?
    And please make sure that you installed all the Photoshop updates.

  • Scripting Print Dialog and Epson Print Dialog - Consultant Required

    I have a project I would like to pay a Scripting  Consultant to develop.
    The script should run on Photoshop CS 3 , Mac OS Leopard 10.5.6,
    I would like the script to be preferrably in Applescript to link with the Mac OS, but it can be Javascript
    Functionality
    1. The script should  script the settings within the Photoshop print dialog box such as the colour profile
    and colour management options
    2. I would also like the script to control the Epson Print Settings in the Epson print dialog
    boxes such as the Page Size/Set Up and Printer settings such as paper type=  Epson Premium Glossy.
    3. Finally I would like  the script to be triggered via a button/palette which floats in Photoshop, so immediately we want to print
    a design to a particular Epson printer (we have 4 different Epson printers ) we can click that button and it will
    send the print to that printer with the correct profile, media settings, page set up etc
    Notes
    I have been told that "Configurator" made be the best application to create these printer buttons.
    I have also been told that it may be possible to script the Epson Dialog using information from the Script Listener
    As you can tell I am not a scripter but have a clear idea of what is required and am happy to pay for the experitise required here.
    If you want to email directly please do so -
    [email protected]
    Thanks very much
    Josh

    I have been told that "Configurator" made be the best application to create these printer buttons.
    But Configurator is for CS4.
    I’m not sure the print-dialog can be Scripted the way You want it; at the company where I work we use a Server-Hotfolder-setup which makes such things easier, as one can simply save separated copies into the respective Folders.
    You could also post on http://www.ps-scripts.com/

  • Don't have printer settings for Epson CX9400fax since upgrading to SL

    I recently upgrade my operating system from Tiger to Snow Leopard (after a HD crash). I have an Epson CX9400fax all-in-one machine and I am able to print, but I no longer have the Printer Settings options as before - where you can change paper, ink, etc. I'm trying to print from Photoshop CS5, if that's relevant at all.
    This is what I am looking for:
    tons of options/setting to adjust
    And this is what I have now:
    basically just print.
    Here's the driver info:
    Is this something on Epson's end that hasn't been updated yet?
    I've looked around, both here and online and haven't really got anywhere. If ANYONE can help, I will be very appreciative.
    Oh, and I'm a first-timer so please be nice :0)

    Hi,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions. I had the same problem with my Epson printer and solved it by going to Apple Support [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4169]. You can rearrange your printer settings using CUPS from there. Also, click on the triangle to the right of the Printer Name window to get an expanded menu.
    Good luck and a Merry Christmas.

  • I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

    I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

    Have you checked the ink cartridges and made sure the nozzles are clear? Are you able to print from outside of iPhoto with the correct color?
    Try the following: make temporary copy of the library and do the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

    This what I have been trying......  Maybe my eyes are screwed up or don't understand the process....
    What I have been trying to do is squint and make the apple disappear by moving the sliders around in each step. Is that correct?

    I’m using an iMac running Os X Yosemite, Photoshop CS5 Extended, R2880 Epson printer  In the Print Settings dialog box, I can’t select Color, Advanced BW or Grayscale unless I select “Printer Manages Color”. The pull down menu is grayed out. Even with “printer manages color” the tif or jpg image comes out in color overlaid with black. (See example - printer1. image on left is close to what it should be). Photoshop has no updates pending. I’ve downloaded the latest Epson driver which was working fine just before the problem occurred

    Is your Photoshop CS5 updated to 12.1?
    Are you on Yosemite 10.10.1 or Yosemite 10.10.2?
    Did you apply the recent Epson software 2.1.9 update?
    What type of file is it (file format)?  What bit depth and what color space?

  • No Print Settings for Epson printer

    I have an Epson 1400, and it was working fine this morning. I usually go to Print Settings to select my glossy paper. But just now, when I went to print, and tried to click the Print settings... button, nothing happens. I have tried using Software Update and installed the latest Epson Printer Software, and tested several other applications, and the printer is connected and working fine in those.
    This is PS 12.1 for Mac.
    Thanks

    Well, looks like I'm dumb. I misread Solution 1. It suggested that I Choose Printer Manages Color,  return to Photoshop Manages Color, and then choose Print Settings. This worked perfectly after I realized it meant PS couldn't use the printer to manage color in the case of my printer.
    Anyway, you saved my you-know-what!
    Thanks again,
    J.

  • I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard and have lost my epson printer software. On Epson Aus. web page there is no upgrade of their software for my printer with Snow Leopard. Can i download a lesser operating system software for printer?

    I have just upgraded to snow leopard and lost my epson printer software. I have checked Epson Aus web site for printer software but they haven't upgraded it for snow leopard. Am i able to download software for a lesser operating system then snow leopard or do i have to purchase a new printer? The model is stylus photo R310.

    Have you tried the R300 or R320 software? Typically the software covers a broad spectrum of printers, often providinbg overlap to cover "relatives" of a series.

  • Problem with Print Settings- Epson Stylus CX4200

    Hi there,
    I am having issues with my print settings. Firstly, when I run out of ink on a cartridges it just says "out of ink" and does not show the ink levels of the different colors. Therefore I need to replace all the colors as I do not know which one is low.
    I also do not have the option for different print qualities (draft, best, etc..) to help save ink.
    Both of these functions worked on my old computer, but do not show up here. I tried to re-install the printer driver from the Epson website, but it hasn't changed anything.
    Thanks for your help!

    Did you try the Epson Utility that is installed with the driver? It should be accessible from the printer proxy, and it can also be launched from the /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter/Utilities folder.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • Printer Settings for Epson not working in LR and PE 12, crashes programs when I click.

    In LR 4.4 and PE 12, after I have set all my color management info in the program's print panel to the Epson printer and to the correct paper, I go to Page Setup, select the paper size and printer, then Printer Settings, select Printer, then attempt to select paper source, nothing happens, then attempt to select paper media, then the programs crash.

    my problem is now solved.  I got with Epson support.  We had to remove the printer from the printers/scanners in the Preferences section of the iMac HD after unplugging the usb cable. Then, we went to the disc utility in Applications folder and performed a disc repair.  After that we connected the printer, rebooted,  opened PE12/LR4.4 and, voila, the paper source and media type now contained the appropriate info.  Something was not right in my system, one of those mysteries.
