Epson r1800 driver installed on intel mac

OK, I spent hours figuring this out. If you have an epson and are on an intel mac here's how you get the new drivers to install.
Go to espon leopard support page.
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/SupportLeopard.jsp
Download your driver. Read the enclosed document, it's still based on tiger but here's what you do. Open the system preferences panel. Open Print & Fax. Where your printers are listed on the LEFT hit the "minus" sign and uninstall the printer there. Then install the new epson driver you downloaded.
There it is in your printer panel, select the new driver as your default.
IT WORKS!!!!

Ok, I called Epson and they had me do the minus thing, then restart and then try to add again. I had already installed the driver on their website like they said. I could not add the R320 again, and got error message 9672, which they said was an Apple error message and to call them. Naturally, the phone is not even working. EVERYONE must be having some issues with Leopard. . . any suggestions for this error? My printer sort of works still, but doesn't have the right page setup options, etc. it did before upgrading. . . . Hmmmm, sort of makes the term "upgrade" seem wrong, doesn't it????

  • Epson R1800 driver

    After installing Leopard the R1800 printer no longer worked. The only printer driver on the Epson website is for an Intel Mac, not a powerpc. A call to Epson verified there is no driver available for the powerpc. They claimed to be working on it and asked me to check back to their website periodically. As for now I have an expensive boat anchor.

    Hi cg
    What you're having is that the driver that appears by default is a Gutenprint, which is a generic driver, without all the options that you get with the Epson.
    If you already installed the last Epson driver for 10.5.x, your next step is to open Print & Fax inside the System Preferences panel, select on the left side your R1800 (one click only) and below click on the "-" sign to remove the printer from the list.
    After that, click on the "+" sign and add again the R1800.
    On the bottom of the new window there's a button that says "Print Using", click on it and there should be 2 options of drivers for the R1800, one being the Epson and the other being the Gutenprint, select the Epson and everything should work fine again.
    Good luck.

  • Target drive install on a mac computer without deactivating photoshop/lightroom

    Can I do a target drive install on a mac computer without deactivating photoshop/lightroom on my older computer? I would like transfer all programs over without re-downloading and re-installing. Thanks!

    I would recommend you only transfer your documents and settings to the new computer.  You will then want to install the software from your installation media.  Adobe software is not designed to be copied from one computer to another and it is likely you will face difficulties after trying to move the software over in this fashion.

  • CS3 Leopard Epson R1800 driver problems solved (hopefully)

    Trying to put this post in searchable terms for others having the same problem finding the answer -- new to mac.
    Everybody knows that you need to go to epson.com and download the new mac leopard drivers for most of the printers, including R1800. But the new driver won't install correctly unless you go into Library/Printers/ and move the entire "EPSON" folder into the trash can before double clicking the VISE install icon on the downloaded package. (Maybe there is another way to make it work, but mine wouldn't actually install and start working till I did this.)
    If you have the right driver, you will see "EPSON SP R1800 (1)" as your driver in System Preferences/Print&Fax. Also, you will see "Print Settings", "Roll Paper Option", "Expansion" and "Extension Settings" as options in the pulldown menu in the epson print dialog through PS CS3 (after hitting print in the first print dialog box). There is also a "basic" and "Advanced" choice under Print Settings.
    If you still have the wrong driver, you won't get any errors, but the new dialog box won't show up. The old driver that doesn't work shows up (I think I remember correctly) as EPSON SPR 1800 in your System Preferences window. No parenthetical. Also, if you have the old bad driver, in the epson print dialog box, you see a different set of options, and no 'basic' and 'advanced' choice under print settings.
    I hope that helps some people. I was having a hard time knowing if I had the new driver actually working (even though I thought I installed it). Turns out I didn't! Thanks to random post by John McWilliams and Duane Ellison (who posted screenshot of new dialog in the LR forum), I figured out the thing with the Epson folder. Now let's just hope the prints look good!

    Hi Laura.
    Isn't that the most frustrating thing in the world? Anyway, that isn't the right driver. That is the one that ships with Leopard (or something, I don't know - anyway, wrong one).
    Try deleting the EPSON folder again, deleting your printer from system prefs/print fax, reinstalling the driver and re-finding your printer. Now that I think about it, I did that, and generally fiddled around in there a bit, before it worked.
    I don't know how Macs associate printers with drivers (I'm a PC person and missing my PC!), but once the software in the dmg package was properly installed, the printer automatically picked up the EPSON SP R1800 (1) driver when I told it to go look for printers. I didn't have to choose it from the list of drivers.
    Hope that helps.

  • Epson r1800 driver installation

    I've installed the Epson r1800 drivers from the epson CD on my G5 iMac. When setting up the printer in print utility only "E" is shown with it's firewire connection. The more printers dropdown doesn't list the 1800 drivers. I'm unable to locate the drivers despite having installed them.
    Any help? Thanks.
    G5 iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   firewire printer connection, direct to computer-no hub,

    Epson printers must be added in a non-intuitive way.
    Open Printer Setup Utility. Click on the Add icon at the top. Click on "More Printers" at the bottom of the window that opens. Another window will open. Make sure that you click "Default Browser" chosen at the top left. Use the pop up menu to select EPSON FIREWIRE. Then highlight your printer in the list below. This will enable the "Page Setup:" menu which will give you the choices of formats you want to add. Select the format (or all) you want to add and click the "Add" button at the bottom.

  • Fiery 250 driver and new Intel Mac

    I recently installed a new Intel iMac in my office and hooked it up to our Xerox printer via our Fiery 250 RIP. Bad news--the driver does not work with the Intel Mac. I had a Xerox tech come and try to troubleshoot it for a few hours, went under the hood to try and resolve the issue...nothing. Next step is he is going to have to contact Fiery. Anyone else have any experience with an Intel Mac and getting the driver to work on Fiery? Very inconvenient.
    Intel iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   Intel Mac-Fiery RIP

    i can give you a tip.
    download the ppd from the support page.
    install it via tcpip and select the ppd.
    it will work to print, but no special features then.

  • Had a new hard drive installed on my Mac. Now how to get ALL my music/photos from iPhone to Mac?

    I had a hard drive crash on my Mac laptop over Xmas, and had a new one installed.  The iCloud contains all my purchased music, but I need to sync from my existing iPhone to get all the songs I previously had uploaded to my library from CDs.  (Don't want to do that again if I can avoid it!)  My iTunes library (actually on iCloud now) is about 600 songs short.  Is there a way to do this?  Every time I attempt to sync, I get a warning that all my songs on the iPhone will be wiped and replaced with what's in the library.  That's exactly the opposite of what I want to do.

    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup, not good, then you can purchase third party programs to retrieve the other music, at your risk.

  • Using External Boot Drive with New Intel Mac Mini

    I have a 1st Gen MacMini and use an external 7200 RPM Lacie drive as the system boot drive along with all the applications.
    If I were to purchase a new Intel Mac Mini, is it possible to use the current external drive as the system drive or is there some conversion steps that would be necessary ?
    Thank you.

    You can use the hardware, but will have to repartition and reinstall the OS from the disk shipped with the new Mac Mini.

    If you create a disk image of the Lacie on your Mini, you can later use setup assistant to restore users and applications from that image.

  • How to turn of color management in epson r1800 driver 6.12

    I have an Epson R1800 with Epsons driver 6.12.
    What I wonder is how I turn off the color management in the driver, as I do that (color management) in Adobe Photoshop CS3 (when I choose to print).
    In the version 3 driver I was able to choose that in Epsons printer driver (in the dialog where I choose what paper, quality and so on I would like to use.
    But in version 6.12 of the epson driver that options semms to be removed.
    so could anyone please help me.
    /D

    I found what the problem was.
    I have my R1800 connected to my AirPort Extreme, and when using the driver 6.12 with AirPort Extreme (Bonjour) the printer settings is not the same (how weird isn't that???). But if I connect the R1800 to my MacBook Pros USB I get the option to turn off the color management.
    Then I found this on Epons site:

    Hi Maclapa!
    Do you have more than one account on the Mac?
    Are you sure that you are logged in with an Admin account?
    Have you run Repair Permissions?
    TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS ON THE STARTUP DISK
    1.Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and select the startup disk in the left column.
    2.Click First Aid.
    3.Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions. (I never "Verify". Just run "Repair".)
    Rerun RP until the only message it reports is:
    "We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./System/Library/Filesystems/cd9660.fs/cd9660.util.
    New permissions are 33261"
    This is a status message and not a cause for concern. You may safely ignore it.
    Or these:
    "We are using a special uid for the file or directory ./private/var/at/jobs. New uid is 1"
    "We are using a special uid for the file or directory ./private/var/at/spool. New uid is 1"
    Again, these are status messages, which appeared after Security Update 2005-001.
    There may be others that you can ignore. Complete list at link below.

  • Fresh Install on Intel Mac

    I am trying to re-install Tiger on my Intel Macintosh and was trying to do an archive and install. It seemed like the only option I had was to Initialize the hard drive. I tried my Tiger Disc and also the CD's that came with my Mac. Any ideas? I don't want to delete the entire Hard Drive. Thanks.

    The 1.83 Ghz is NOT a G5. Please update your profile and say iMac Intel 1.83 Ghz. They look alike on the outside, but the resemblence is only skin deep.
    The 1.83 Ghz can not take the original Tiger DVD. It must use the Intel iMac install and restore DVD to install Mac OS X. These disks are gray and are specifically labelled for the iMac Intel. If you are missing the said disk, call AppleCare:
    http://www.apple.com/contact/phone_contacts.html
    The archive and install function on Intel iMacs is described on this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301270
    NOTE: You can't normally archive and install an older version of the O.S. over a newer version. If your Mac currently has 10.4.10, and you are trying to install 10.4.4 on it, you may run into problems with some applications not installing properly, or some not running after installation. Why are you trying to archive and install and older system on a newer, and who instructed you to do so?

  • Powerpc error when installing on intel mac, powerpc error when installing on intel mac

    Trying to reinstall some software that used to work & no I receive the following error: “Spyder3Pro_Installer” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.  This happened on another application I was attempting to install as well.

    Thank you for the reply, but I was able to fix it.  I'm sorry, I guess I didn't explain it well.  The apps were not for a powerpc & the mac is an intel.  For some reason the apps thought it was a ppc, so I'm not sure what happened.  I had Mountain Lion installed & the apps were working fine until the crash.  Just trying to put everything back & I get this error.  There is another app that I get the same error on, but not sure if the fix will be that easy.

  • Hard Drive Size Total - Intel Mac Mini

    I've got a 1.66 Intel Duo - running a lowly 512 of RAM and 60GB Internal HDD.
    I'm looking at upgrading it myself - I want a new iMac but can't afford one at the moment.
    So I know I'm after a 2.5" Internal disc, and can upgrade to 7000odd rpm, I already have a 500GB external HDD, but in music production etc the read rate is painful, so I want the biggest internal HDD I can get! - Reading everything it seems to be 500GB - can I run 1TB? And I guess the RAM will only go upto 2GB?
    Cheers - Tristan

    Hi Tristan and welcome to Discussions,
    sounds like your Mini is the Late 2006 model.
    See here for the tech specs: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP29
    2GB RAM is indeed the limit.
    I would suggest to use the Memory Advisor from Crucial http://www.crucial.com/mac/index.aspx to get the correct RAM modules.
    To my knowledge only Seagate has a 500GB 7200rpm harddisk out at the moment: http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?locale=en-US&name=st9500420as-momentus-720 0.4-sata-500-gb-hd&vgnextoid=70f4bfafecadd110VgnVCM100000f5ee0a0aRCRD&vgnextchan nel=819a2c74f15dd110VgnVCM100000f5ee0a0aRCRD&reqPage=Model
    1TB harddisk for laptops (2.5" size) are not avaiable right now.
    You can't use a desktop harddisk with a 3.5" form factor, it's simply too big.
    2.5" form faktor harddisks with SATA-connector and a max height of 9.5mm is what fits into a Mini.
    Hope it helps

  • Help with 1280 Epson Printer Driver

    When I loaded Leopard, I chose to load all the Epson drivers, when I actually only need a driver for the Epson Stylus Photo 1280. I have an intel machine and I'm forced to do a reinstall (whole other issue) and I'm hoping I can just install the driver that I need from the Epson site. Does anyone know if this driver supports an intel Mac AND LEOPARD?
