Epson R1800 installation suggestion

Hi, just bought an epson R1800 and installed the driver, but the printer set-up on the tiger doesn't seem to be able to find it, any suggestions?
thank you in advance

Hi,
I bought this printer yesterday and had the same problem:
Printing via USB slow but without any problem, trying to print via firewire and I found only this »E«.
Now I made another attempt:
First start the apple printer program, then mark »Hinzufügen« (sorry, I use a german system), You´ll find the »E«. But then You have to click at »Weitere Drucker« (Anthor Printer...?).Anew windows opens and there at the top You can choose »EPSON Firewire«. After that You find the R1800 and YOu can print.
Greetings Frank

  • 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.

    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.

  • Puzzling Epson R1800 4x6 Printing Problem

    I have 3 computers: G5 Dual, Powerbook G4 and a MacBook Pro. I print regularly from the G5 to the Epson R1800 in all paper sizes with no problem. I was testing printing from my laptop today and discovered that I can't print 4x6 prints from either laptop. The Powerbook is running the same system software 10.4.5 and the same printer driver. The MacBook Pro running the Intel driver and has the exact same problem. When I try to print 4x6 paper I get an error message that the "media is not loaded correctly." Without changing anything, I can replug the printer into the G5 and it prints immediately without hesitation.
    I can print 8.5x11 prints from the laptops, but not 4x6. Since everything is identical on the G5 and Powerbook I am especially dumbfounded. I've tried re-installing the drivers, restarting the computers and the printer all to no avail.
    If anyone has any suggestions or possible solutions, I'd love to hear them!
    thanks,

    Hi Tom -
    It did work properly with Photoshop, but I'd rather not have to use Photoshop for all of my printing. As far as Lightroom goes, I was using the standard template - maximize size and specifying 4x6 paper. This worked on a mac air, same OSX, same version of LR5, same version of print driver. So, I created a user template on the air, exported it, imported it into my iMac. Still no good. The only workaround I have found is to use a maximize size template, specifiy letter size paper, then align the photo against the left and bottom edges. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Lightroom. This did not solve the problem, either.
    Also, when I specifiy 4x6 paper, the rulers show the correct dimensions. Everything looks correct, but it seems unable to communicate to the printer that LR is using anything other than letter-size paper. It's getting very frustrating and wasteful of time, paper, and ink, as I sure you can guess.
    Thanks again for your suggestions - I appreciate the feedback.

  • HOW TO INSTALL OLDER DRIVE for EPSON r1800

    Hello
    SInce I upgraded to Lion, my Pictures are no longer printing as WYSIWYG on my Epson R1800. It seems from forums, that the newer driver isn't working corectly. I was able to find the installation DMG of an older Driver - but it is not found by the R1800 under System Perferences. Can you tell me how to install an older Driver?
    THanks

    "...It seems from forums, that the newer driver isn't working corectly..."
    What forums? The driver should work properly.

  • Lightroom printing problem Epson R1800, XP SP2, colors dark

    I'm having no success with printing from Lightroom 1.3.1, with a quite new Epson R1800, on an IBM R51 with Windows XP SP2.
    Printing is fine, using Epson's Easy Photo Print, and PhotoShop Elements 2.0. In fact, the results with Epson's Easy Photo Print and Elements 2.0 are almost identical.
    I played with ICM on, off, downloaded new Epson icc profiles for glossy paper, loaded new cartridges, cleaned nozzles, etc.
    And I searched this users forum and the general web. Sounds like printing problems with Lightroom is pretty normal.
    Any other clues or hints to solve the problem? Seems pretty stupid that Lightroom can't be used to print.
    ...Vick

    Vick,
    I'm new to printing on my Epson 1800 and am sure others know more than I do, but this might be a start since I had the same problem printing from Photoshop CS3 on a R1800 and R200. I think the problem is in the printer properties/printer dialog setup and since the problem is the same maybe the solution is also the same.
    In Lightroom click File - Print Settings or, to get to the same place, click File - Print and click the Page Setup or Print Settings or Print button. Whichever, it takes you to the print setup for the 1800. Click Properties which takes you to the Epson Stylus Photo 1800 Properties window. In the bottom right, click Advanced button. A "note" warning about making changes pops up. Click continue. Under the Main tab, color management make sure ICM is NOT selected. I have "Color Controls" selected. Click OK (twice I think) to get back to the Lightroom print window. This corrected the dark colors problem I was having. When printing in PS3 it asks, "Did you enable color management in the printer dialog?" Somewhere else I found the suggestion to disable ICM color management when printing from PS3. So much to know!! Hope this helps.

  • Epson R1800 prints v. dark despite many attempted fixes

    i  have an epson r1800 printer which i used successfully with early  versions of PS and windows XP. now the prints are very dark with a greenish cast using both  a  macbook pro snow leaopard, and windows 7 both with ps5.
    i import the pics first into LR3.
    i  have been on the fone for hours with epson high-level tech support and  the best they/we can figure out is that the printer cannot handle the  photpro color setting that LR assigns automatically. it only like prints  that began as Adobe RGB 1998 and havent been re-assigned. those occassionally seem to  work fine. but some do not. i have shots in jpg tif and digitized slides [tif] going back  decades, so lots of issues included. nor is  that is an all-round solution, but is there some way i can instruct lr NOT to use the photopro profile, but  adobe rgb 98 instead.
    if i go that route, my options then are importing into ps using smart  object and opening in raw one foto at a time, a pretty cumbersome [and somewhat confusing  to me] process. i do this in lr by choosing 'edit in' > 'open as  smart object' and then in ps clicking on the thumbnail in the layers  palette to open in raw. ot i can use bridge, thereby involving 3 programs. arghhh.
    per epson tech instructions--and this was  the first thing that gave me some good prints--i have set the workflow  option at the bottom of the raw image in ps at:
    adobe rgb 1998; 16 bit; highest mp available( 20 or 25mp even tho i am shooting at 18mp); 320 ppi. but it only works sometime.
    or  am i on the wrong track completely in trying to solve the printer  problem. i have been thru many setting adjustments and nothing seemed to  work until opened with the current workflow setting. i have tried, as both adobe and epstill darkson recommeded, having ps control the color and setting icm and management off. still dark.
    if agsinst all recommendations i use printer controls color, epson vivid, i can get prttey good prints, but only if i print from LR. PS hates this setting.
    i am awating a call from a high-level adobe techie.
    my  little head is reeling--and of course this all is after epson tried to  blame OS, PS, LR, my monitor, and me. and adobe did the same casting about. but since the same dark image is  happening with the mac laptop and windows desktop, none of these seemed  likely. epson also suggested i buy another, newer printer, but then  admitted that if the photpro profile was the problem, no joy.
    any suggestions, help. i have gone thru much ink paper and hair tearing and dozens of on-line fora.

    As remarked by other responders, this is not a problem unique to you, to Lightroom or to your printer; I have struggled many times, most recently with Aperture3 and an Epson1290 (my Epson 220 didn't show the problem at the same time, with the same images). Changes in driver, profile usage to names but 2 factors, all can screw things up.
    My suggestions:
    1. Make sure you have the latest drivers downloaded from the Apple Software Update window below the Apple icon at the lefthand end of your Finder menu bar.
    2. use an appropriate profile for your printer/ink/paper combination; the only real solution is to produce your own, with something like SpyderPrine - I have one for each combination I use.
    3. Select these in the Lightroom Print Menu at the right hand side of the window under "Print Job". Don't use "Draft Mode.", which doesn't allow the following choices. Underr "Color Management", put in your chosen profile and Rendering Intent (I use Perceptual, but, in my experience, they don't change things much).
         When you click on "Print", an Apple print window opens, which shows the printer is not in control of printing; all the options are greyed out.
    As an alternative, in the Apple Print Window, select "PDF". This will save the image as a .pdf, which you can print from Preview. In the Previerw print menu, select Color Matching/ColorSyc/Profile: and put in your chosen profile; when you get down to the Clor Management" option, coilor controls will be "off", showing that your choices will be used.
    If things are working correctly, two prints, one from each route, should be identical; if they are not yoy have another proble, the basis of which I cannot imagine.

  • Epson R1800 printer options missing when using AEBS wireless printing- WHY?

    I have run into a very odd problem with my Epson R1800 printer. When I install the printer for directly connecting via USB or FireWire the version 6.12 print driver appears with all of the options. When I install the same printer when connected through my AirPort extreme base station the print driver is lacking most of the adjustment features.
    Fire wire and USB contain the following menu items in the drop down print dialog"
    Print Settings (with basic and advanced tabs)
    Roll Paper Option
    Expansion
    Extension Settings
    The AEBS printer options only contains one printer specific selection called:
    Printer Features
    which has a very limited selection of options, an no options which allow me to turn off color management.
    Some additional information
    - I installed this same printer driver on one laptop back in the days of 10.5.2 and I was able to install a AEBS printer which allows all of the options. On that same computer if I now install a new printer with the same driver those extra options are missing.
    - I just upgraded a second laptop to Leopard today and went straight to 10.5.3 and the wireless driver for this printer only contains the limited menu items.
    - I am certain that I am using the Epson drivers and not the Gutenprint drivers. Please do not suggest the Gutenprint drivers, they do not handle color management properly.

    This is a real problem for this printer OS combination... I believe due to the crappy Epson driver. I searched the internet and found lots and lots of people having a similar problem. When I contacted Epson today they admitted there was a driver problem, but the tech told me they had no plans to improve the driver 'because the R1800 is a discontinued model'! How's that for support!
    Anyway...several people have had fairly decent luck removing the printer and all Epson software then re-installing it. When the 'correct' driver is installed it will say something like "Epson R1800 (sp) 1". My problem is there is no way to profile this printer and have the driver work as it should for proofing and color management. I know that doesn't help much, but if you google "Epson R1800 problems with Leopard" you'll see what I mean.

  • Page Setup Changes For iCal / Epson R1800

    Hi
    I am trying to print from iCal - using custom A4 paper sizes so that I can hole-punch the paper in an appropriate place. My problem is that when I try to print from iCal, the Page Setup is set at 'Roll Paper'. I can't change that setting and when I try to print on my Epson R1800 A4 sheet-fed paper, it keeps on coming up with paper not loaded error - I'm assuming because it's looking for Roll Paper. I'm getting so worked up about this I fear for the safety of my printer !!!
    Any help would be welcomed.

    after you have changed the print setting in the .rpt itself and if you are still experiencing the same behaviour:
    1) first, try to see if just the .rpt itself is changing...i.e. send the report with saved data to someone that is experiencing the issue that also has crystal reports installed. if it is still happening in the crystal reports designer itself, then it is an issue for this forum.
    2) if it is only happening in the web application, then you will want to repost to the appropriate sdk forum.

  • Wireless print server that works with Macs and Epson R1800?

    Hi,
    I'm looking to buy a wireless print server, which I could use as if the printer was connected directly to my Mac. So basically, it just needs to have printing over IP port (like port 9100 on HP JetDirect) and drivers for Mac OS X (or ideally, no special drivers needed at all). Devices that do sharing of the printer only over LPD (older Unix), SMB (Windows), IPP (Cups / newer Unix) or similar protocols is not what I'm looking for here.
    The reason why LPD, SMB and IPP are not an option is that I'll need utilities such as Epson Printer Utility to work over the network too.
    It looks like Linksys, Belkin and some other have products that allow access to the printer over port 9100 (standard HP JetDiret's port) as if the printer was connected directly to the computer. However, for the most part I was able to find only success stories for Windows users.
    Windows has standard driver that allows connection to the printer to be easily switched from USB port to network port. Does OS X comes standard with that feature, or is the special driver needed?
    Most importantly, has anybody had success with printing from Mac through wireless print server (any brand) to Epson R1800? Did the Epson Print Utility (checking the ink levels, checking and cleaning the head, etc) work? Any special drivers needed?
    Thanks

    direwolf has hit the nail on the head - the Epson driver won't work for IP printing. The Epson driver is a Carbon driver, where they build the comm protocols into the driver instead of enabling use of the standard protocols on OS X (that are part of the CUPS system). You'll need a CUPS driver to use the standard network protocol(s). The printfab driver is a CUPS driver.
    Exception - the Apple Extreme/Express/etc print servers have firmware that make them work like Macs - Mac-to-Mac sharing works with USB-only drivers! I hesitate to recommend the Extreme/Express, because Apple can't seem to get all the kinks out.

  • Epson r1800 - 'Media not loaded correctly'

    Hello All,
    I'm having a lot of trouble with my Epson r1800 - I've searched around the internet a bit for solutions but so far haven't come up with anything. To start, I have updated the epson drivers and also tried Gutenprint drivers.
    Basically, no matter what I try (including the standard nozzle checks etc...) I always get the message 'Media not loaded correctly'. Occasionally pages will feed through the printer, but they are blank and regardless I get the media not loaded correctly message. Does anybody have a workaround or solutions for this?
    Thanks!
    Gavin

    Try using the following directions from a message from Epson. This corrected my problems with an Epson R1800 and Leopard.
    Thank you for taking the time to contact Epson. It is my pleasure to
    respond to your inquiry.
    If your output is faint or if the driver settings and/or features are
    missing, your system may have automatically added the printer using the
    Gutenprint driver. Many Epson drivers are provided with Leopard but the
    driver for your printer needs to be downloaded from the Epson website.
    Determine Which Driver is Currently Being Used
    1. Click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the Finder and open
    System Preferences.
    2. In the System Preferences window, click on Print & Fax.
    3. In the list of printers on the left side of the Print & Fax window,
    click once on your Epson printer to select it.
    4. Check the name of the driver being used; it is displayed in the center
    of the Print & Fax window next to “Kind”.
    5. If the driver name displayed next to “Kind” is Gutenprint, the incorrect
    driver is being used. Follow the steps in the next section to select the
    correct driver.
    Selecting the Correct Driver
    1. Turn off the printer.
    2. Delete the print queue and remove the printer from Print & Fax by
    clicking on the minus button under the list of printers. Click OK to
    confirm the removal.
    3. Go to the Epson support website (www.epson.com/support).
    4. Select your product model and download the driver for OS X 10.5 Leopard
    operating system.
    5. Double-click the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions
    to install the printer driver.
    6. Click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the Finder and open
    System Preferences.

  • Crash in LR2.5 printing to Epson R1800

    I'm running LR 2.5 on a Mac - OS X 10.5.8 - and trying to print to my Epson R1800 on Firewire interface.   When I select that printer from LR either in Print Settings or Print (even before hitting the print button), I get an immediate LR crash.  Printing to the R1800 from CS2 works fine, and printing from LR to another (non Firewire) printer also works fine.   I've downloaded and installed the latest drivers from Epson (no joy), have reloaded LR 2.5 after deleting LR prefs and application support files (also no joy), and have backed up to LR 2.4 with the same results.
    When I just tried switching the R1800 to a USB connection and reinstalling the printer as a USB, LR got even more unhappy and crashed right when I clicked on the Print Settings button in LR.
    I'd appreciate any thoughts about new things to try.   Guess I can always keep exporting to CS2 and printing from there, but that shouldn't be necessary.
    Thanks,

    You probably have a corrupt print template. To check this you should temporarily remove the templates (i.e. move them out of the Lightroom presets folder). You can do this fairly easily from Lightroom Preferences panel. Open Preferences and choose Presets tab, then click on button labelled Show Lightroom Presets folder... This should open an OS window with the Lightroom folder already highlighted. Open the LIghtroom folder, locate the Print Templates subfolder, then drag it out to your desktop. Restart Lightroom, which will automatically recreate the folder and default presets. Now click on the Print Setting button to check if crashes are stopped. Assuming above fixes the problem you can then drag the print templates back into the newly created Lightroom folder one at a time. Obvioulsy, you will need retry Lightroom Print Settings after each.

  • Mountain Lion and Printing on an Epson R1800

    I have an Epson R1800, which according to Apple, is supported in Mountain Lion. Now, this printer worked nearly flawlessly until upgrading to ML. Now that I have, the printer just kicks out sheets of blank paper and I am always told that the printer's media isn't loaded correctly. I have tried deleting the printer and adding a new one in the Sys Pref as well as trying the Gutenprint drivers. Nothing is allowing me to print. Has anyone had any issues like this, or able to aid in troubleshooting this?

    Dave,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    “Offending Command” could be a number of different issues, i.e., font(s), LZW compression of tiff images, memory etc.
    Is this a new problem, i.e., printing from the G5 to the Epson 3000 worked before?
    Can you find more info on the error by using the Console utility?
    What application and version are you using?
    With Stylus RIP, are you using Classic (since the RIP is for OS 9) on the G5?
    Have you tried printing the document(s) directly from the G4?
    Alternatively, try making your doc a PDF and then print the PDF doc.
    If the doc is a multiple page, you could try to isolate the problem by printing a certain page(s), or deleting an image (if there is one).
    Hope this helps and let us know what happens.

  • Leopard + Aperture 2 + Epson R1800 == very dark prints

    Hi,
    Before I upgraded to Leopard, I was able to get very nice prints from Aperture on my Epson R1800 printer.
    After I upgraded to Leopard, the prints end up very dark. A bit of additional info follows.
    My monitor is correctly calibrated.
    I installed new drivers from Epson's website (v6.12), and I verified I'm using those, and not Apple's Gutenprint drivers.
    In the print settings I turn color management off, and than select correct ICC profile in the Aperture that matches paper and quality settings. For example, for printing on Epson Premium Glossy paper with PhotoRPM settings, I select "SPR1800 PrmGlsy PhotoRPM.icc" profile. Hit print, and after a bit of time the print comes out of the printer very dark. This sounds like ICC profile got dropped someplace along the way (in Aperture? in driver?).
    If I go the other route, and let driver/printer manage color by selecting either normal or vivid options in print settings, and than use "system managed" setting in Aperture, the prints come out bright (maybe even a bit too bright). However, in this case the colors are off. Very off. Skin tones are especially bad with strong yellowish cast (people on the prints look if they were seriously sick).
    Has anybody managed to get usable prints from Aperture 2 + Leopard combo on Epson R1800? Or any other comparable Epson printer (R800, R2400, new R1900)?
    Searching forums, I found a lot of articles discussing Leopard and Epson printers problems for Adobe products (CS2/CS3/LightRoom), but not much for Aperture 2.
    Unrelated question... I attempted to ask this in Aperture forum, but there was no post link. Do I need something special to be able to ask questions there?

    Well, believe it or not, with the help of Epson support on the phone, I've figured this out. First of all, there is definitely a problem with Aperture's color management. What used to work (setting a color profile in the Aperture print dialog, and selecting "no color management" in the printer dialog) definitely does not work at this point.
    If you want color management, what you have to do is select "System Managed" in the Aperture print dialog, and select "Color Controls - Epson Standard" in the Epson dialog. What this does is select the standard Epson profile for the paper you have selected. For example, if you've chosen Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper, the printer driver will use the "SPR1800 Premium Glossy" profile (Epson's standard profile for that paper, assuming you've downloaded it). Of course, that gives you Epson's version of what you want to print. If you have created your own profiles, using a spectrophotometer for example, you need to get the printer driver to apply YOUR profile instead of Epson's.
    Here's how to apply your profile: Open Colorsync (in the Utilities folder), and select "Printers" in the Devices menu. Under the printer model, Stylus Photo R1800, for my case, select the profile for the paper you're interested in, say "SPR1800 Premium Glossy", and look on the right side of the window at "Current Profile:". Click the down arrow, and select "Other". Navigate to the profile you've created, and click "Open". This will set the profile you've created as what the printer driver will use when it thinks it's applying the SPR1800 Premium Glossy profile. Set other paper profiles (e.g., "SPR1800 Enhanced Matte") to whatever profile you've created for those papers.
    Now, when you select "System Managed" in the Aperture dialog, and "Color Controls - Epson Standard" in the Epson dialog, it will apply your own profile.
    Hopefully, Apple will fix the problem with color management, and we'll be able to go back to color management as it was before. In the meantime, this is the only work-around I've found.
