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.

Mac OS X update (3/19/13) crashes my iMac. After installing an automatic OS X update, every time I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 to print to my Epson R1800 printer (which worked perfectly just before the update), my entire system crashes.

On 3/19/13 I was printing photos on my Epson R1800 printer using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 with no problems. I got an automatic Apple OS X software update which I installed. Ever since, when I try to print photos my iMac crashes. How can I unistall the OS X update?

What you are experiencing is called a Kernel Panic and is NOT caused by the OS, they can be difficult to troubleshoot as they can be software or hardware relate. The X Labs writes and excellent article about them, in Kernel Panics. Please read it carefully. In order to troubleshoot your KP you need to post your last KP log, Apple provides instructions for doing so in How to log a kernel panic. Please follow the instructions in that article and post your complete KP report.
As mentioned previously it is NOT caused by OS X! There are common causes, including RAM issues, outdated applications, hard disks failing etc. By posting your KP log we can look at it and determine if it's software and if it is then point you to what is causing the issue.

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.

I can't get a proper connection to my Epson R1800 printer. I need to be able to choose Paper type and size. It keeps saying that the downloads are fine, but the System Library Extensions SMC1255TX.kext aren't working?

Dear sweet Apples, that know all the answers...
I can't get a proper connection to my Epson R1800 printer. I get the basics , but I need to be able to choose paper sizes and paper Types.
It keeps saying that the downloads went fine, but then it says that the System/Library/Extensions cannot be used because SMC1255TX.kext
isn't working. My downloads are useless as a result

Did you restart the printer?

CS 5.1 won't print 13x19 print on Epson R1800 printer. Other sizes will print. Suggestion?

CS 5.1 won't print 13x19 print on Epson R1800 printer. Other sizes will print. Epson offered suggestions and said it relats to Photoshop. Anyone else have this issue?

You'll get better answers on that in the proper PS forum...

Flash player controls missing when using embedding in HTML

Hi
I have just created a Flash movie with a .flv file in flash cs4 when playing the .swf file we can see the controls of the player, when I use the html code the player controls are missing.

I would really like your help on this one

Hi,
Please check that your swfobject.js file is located where your .swf file and.html file are published. Your .swf file, .html file and swfobject.js should be placed on the same folder.
In my Flash CS4 the code generated in the HTML file is different and is having 318 lines of code. But the code which you pasted below looks different. If you are not able to see the flash content only in HTML file then it might be active content blocking. Please refer the link which provides fix for active content blocking manually.

I am getting a lot of static when using Brookstone wireless headphones and watching movies on the Apple TV. I know it is not headphones, because they work fine when I switch it to cable TV, then the sound is clear with no static. Any suggestions?

Ok so I've been doing more testing. It's all videos on the iTunes store. Anytime I try to download a podcast or stream it or anything it's super slow. To download an episode of Diggnation it tells me over 2 hours to download but the time keeps climbing and I just stop the transfer.
Some people said it's an Open DNS thing? Maybe it is but it's not computer specific and I couldn't find a way to change the DNS settings in my Airport, only on each computer. I tried deleting PLists and restoring my Apple TV and restoring my Airport and nothing is working.
I don't know if it an issue with me, my ISP or Apple. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Clipped margins in Epson R1800 prints

My Epson R1800 clips the margins of my photos. I usually print 4x6 borderless. In the print setting, I have checked/unchecked Center Image and Scale to Fit Media with no difference. The image on the monitor is clipped so I have to compensate and allow for this with the main feature in the photo. Is there something I am missing?

Just extending on what Bruce offered... the issue is one of what is referred to as "aspect ratio" of the image.
Most digital cameras use default resolution settings that impose a 4:3 aspect ratio and you're trying to print at 3:2. Since the image is being scaled proportionately the result is as Bruce described in his reply - 'shrink-to-fit' is one dimension is going to be either too much or not enough in the other. If you intend to routinely print @ 4x6 you might check to see if your camera has a 3:2 setting (probably something like 2560x1712 pixels. (You can figure it out if necessary if you divide the smaller number by the larger one - you want to come up with .66875 rather than .75)
You can use a program like Photoshop or even iPhoto to accurately resize the images (constrain the proportion) or you can scale them to fit the 6" dimension which will leave the other a bit more than 4" (4.5" to be exact). Obviously that 1/2" will be off the page.

Aperture 1.5.2 + Epson R1800 Printing Problems

I love the new Aperture 1.5.2, but I'm running into a problem with Aperture stopping progress on the prints and not letting me access the epson R1800...message All jobs stopped and when I attempt to restart them, Aperture shuts them down again...
When I bring the job into Adobe Photoshop CS2 from Camera RAW it prints just fine and communicates effectively with the printer...
I love the workflow with Aperture, but cannot utilize it to print my copies and it is frustrating...Have problem solved many avenues from reloading software, printer setup utility, etc. but having the software-hardware problem between Aperture & R1800...
Adios! Steve

Steve --
Just realized that you have a G5 and not an Intel machine. My response below my still help -- I hope.
I use the R1800 quite extensively and have been extremely happy with the results, so hopefully this will help. When you said that you've reloaded the software, did you mean that you've tried to reinstall from the Epson disc that came with the printer? If so, do not do this. Move it to the trash if you can. I discovered this somewhat by accident when I first bought the printer -- Somewhere on Epson's site it says not to use the Epson disc for Intel Macs. Instead, download the latest driver from Epson's site for your computer and all should work just fine.
If this doesn't fix your problem there may be something wrong with your system that's a bit more serious. Others on this board can hopefully help with that.

Service Based Revenue Recognition - Prov Account Missing when using WBS

Hi,
I´ve activated RR functionality using service based and aceptance date.
I've followed the intructions from the best practices documents and the notes:
Note 820417 u2013 IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE FOR REVENUE RECOGNITION
Note 1172799 u2013 NEW VERSION OF BEST PRACTICES FOR REVENUE RECOGNITION
Note 678260 CONSTRAINTS
Note 777996 u2013 ACCOUNT SETTINGS FOR REVENUE RECOGNITION PROCESS
Note 779366 u2013 REVENUE RECOGNITION IN THE SD MODULE
Note 1166848 u2013 CUSTOMIZING SETTINGS
Note 782758 u2013 PREREQUISITS FOR USING REVENUE RECOGNITION
Note 835367 - Activating SAP ERP SD revenue recognition
Note 1000830 - Revenue recognition through incoming invoice (third-party
Note 1025066 - Revenue recognition by proof of delivery (POD)
Note 1120297 - Revenue recognition by acceptance date
Note 1125456 - Revenue recognition due to customer-specific event
We are implementing SD, FI (using New Gral Ledger), PS, CO and MM in a company that sells projects. Therefore we're posting everything to the WBS elements.
We need to post the revenue values to the WBS elements too.
The problem is that when we create a sales order for RR indicating a WBS element and try to save it, the system activates the incompletion log saying that the provision account is missing, despite the account is in VKOA.
The strange thing is that if we use a material with profit center (without any WBS or order indication in the sales order) all the revenue recognition process runs perfectly (we save the order, VBREVK is fullfiled, VF44 is run and the invoice is done correctly).
Does anybody know why when using a WBS element in the sales order, SAKN2 field is not fullfiled and the incompletion log is activated???
Is it a program error? Or are we doing something wrong?
Quick responses will be apreciated since we need to move on within two weeks!
Thanks in advance!

Iview contents missing when using FQDN Cisco Load Balancer

Hello Experts,
We are using Cisco load balancer to distribute the load across the portal servers. Everything was working fine, but after upgrades to the latest support package stack SP18, we ran into some odd behavior. Some of the contents on the iview are blank when using FQDN load balancer URL e.g. http://sap1234.corp.com/irj/portal . But those blank contents does show up if we donu2019t use FQDN e.g. http://sap1234./irj/portal . At this point we are not sure where to start troubleshooting?
Any helps would be appreciated,
Dave

Isn't this the same as your other post? I'm locking this one...

When using pdfFactory with Firefox, why are the colors on the pdf not correct?

The colors are vastly different when using pdf Factory with Firefox. When using pdfFactory with IE, they are both the same.

There doesn't seem to be a one-size-fits-all answer, because what works for one printer doesn't necessarily work for another, and I don't have your printer so I can't advise on specifics...
However, perhaps we can discover a set of settings that will work...
If you File - Print, choose Photoshop Manages Colors, in the Printer Profile section do you see profiles specific to your printer (e.g., with the name Kodak in them)?
If so, choose one of them that seems appropriate given the paper you're using.
If not, try choosing sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
Now, before you continue, press the [Print Settings...] button. This brings up the printer driver dialog. You may have to go through [Advanced] buttons or whatever, but what you're looking to do here is to disable the printer driver's color management logic. In other words, if you can find a color-management / ICC profile handling section, set it to "no color management" or equivalent. OK back out to Photoshop's print dialog, then press [Print].
The key here is that if Photoshop manages the color transforms, the printer driver should not be set to do so - or vice versa.
If you're presented with the printer driver's dialog again, double check that the settings you chose above are still set, for good measure, and try a test print.

Multiple Speakers goes Wonky when using a wireless bridge

I used to use multiple speakers on iTunes, but lost a lot of connections to the AE due to distance. My WLAN is a D-LINK DI-624.
I put in a DLINK DWL-G710 bridge (it took about 3 hours to get working, not 2 minutes, as they claim).
Now, I can always SEE the AE, and once I have a working connection, it never drops. However, while I can always SEE it, the ability to actually USE it is random. I select the AE it goes into a "connecting to...." mode and then times out.
Sometimes cycling iTunes allows it to connect. Sometimes turning off the Airport card on the laptop.
As a last note, I can't see the AE through Ethernet from my laptop, only when on the wireless. It's no show stopper, as I can run both connections, but it is kind of odd, since it all goes through the DI-624.
Any ideas?

Switched to Airport Extreme as base station, problem solved.
