Epson RX620, OS 9.2 - Chooser problem

Using Mac OS9.2
USB does not show on the right half of the chooser
when I select Epson Photo Sytuls RX620.
When I try to print, I get "The Stylus Photo Rx620
printer drive is not correctly selected. Please use
chooser to select Stylus Photo Rx620."
I have run Disk Doctor.
I have downloaded and installed all the drivers
available for Rx620 on Epson site.
(Note: I also use Mac OSX 10.3.9
Printer list did not show Rx620 until I went into
preferences and deleted all com.apple.print files.)
Could the OS 9 problem be that simple? If so, what
should I delete to get USB on the right side of
chooser?
The chooser problem is an old one. First cropped up in 2002 and now reemerged. IF YOU USE SUITCASE I have a solution for you. So simple that you think that can't be true. The Suitcase extension has to load on booting before ATM does. Accomplish that by just inserting a space behind the "~" in the Suitcase extension's filename. That's all it takes.
Happy printing

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
What's the rest of that error message? Posting what you did is similar to posting as an error message the text "I'm having trouble with ..." with nothing following.
I'd try several things until things work:
1) Open the Print & Fax panel of System Preferences. Right-click on a printer entry and choose "Reset printing system".
2) Delete the entry for your printer, then add it back.
3) Check the Epson Web site for a recent driver for your printer. Download it, then first run it in "uninstall" move, then in "install" mode.
I'll be personally interested in what you learn. I have a relative who has an RX620 and 10.6.4, but I'm not sure he's tried to print anything yet.

HT204135 Downloaded Epson drivers V 2.15 for my Epson RX620 and "scanner not available" message appears

After downloading Epson drivers V 2.15 the message "scanner not available" still appears on my Epson RX620. Help?

Hello, Carolyn,
Thank you for your suggestion. Image Capture does not recognize the scanner.
I have tried reset and that did not work either.
Interestingly enough, I have Windows XP partitioned and the scanner functions perfectly. Just would be nice it I did not have to switch to XP every time I need to scan.
Thank you again for responding.

Printing with epson RX620

The RX620 all in one is new to me. Am wanting to print 4 different pictures on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet. This means a print 4 1/4 by 5 1/2. The printer only recognizes standard 4 x 6 or 5 x 7 and of course printing only 2 pics. Already talked with epson, they sent me to apple which sent me to iBook G3 and was told that maybe appleworks might help. Limited knowledge so go slow for me. Thankyou, Earl.

N-Up printing must have been added after version 2. It's in iPhoto 5, which shipped with Tiger, but not in version 1.1.x (came with jaguar).
So...On to using AppleWorks.
Getting photos into AppleWorks can be a simple matter of Drag and Drop, but you may find some problems with resolution and resizing.
Sharon Joiner's User Tip on improving graphics resolution in AppleWorks was the first AppleWorks User Tip Library entry in the discussions, and is still relevant.
I tried a Drag & Drop into a Draw document earlier today with a JPG photo from a 5 Mpix Pentax camera, then used Scale by Percent (in the Arrange menu) to resize it to an appropriate size for 4-Up printing. It appeared to maintain good resolution at a high magnification, but I didn't print, so I don't know what the final product would look like. If it works with your printer, it's a simpler process thn the one in Sharon's tip; if not, hers is a process that will work.
An alternate is to use a third party application (such as Graphic Converter) to convert the photos to PICT format before dragging them into Appleworks. PICT graphics are resizeable in AW.
Others may have additional suggestions. These should get you started. Post back with what works for you; the information amy be useful to the next person with a similar issue.

Gutenprint Driver, Epson Inkjet, XP Crazy Color Printout Problem

Hi,
I have problem getting the same color printout from using OSX 10.6 and XP. For both computers, i use the same printer (Epson Stylus T11), use Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to print (with Color Profile setting as sRGB IEC61966-2.1) and the same pdf file. The PDF file was created using OSX. OSX uses gutenprint drivers 5.24 whereas XP uses the driver downloaded from Epson.
Printout from OSX is the same as what i see on the monitor. However, the color printout using XP is different from the monitor display and the color is a lot lighter.
I've tried changing the color management settings in Epson printing preferences in XP. Changing to ICM with No color adjustment makes the printout a lot darker. Selecting Color Controls with color mode Adobe RGB and Gamma 2.2 causes the printout to be a lot lighter. Using the default Color mode Epson VIVID and adding more cyan or magenta or yellow does not change the color printout in any way.. the printout still prints out a lot lighter.
However if i use GIMP 2.0 in XP and import the PDF file, using the Print with Gutenprint, the printout is exactly the same as the printout from OSX.
But this solution is not good because i have to import the PDF document page by page! (1 PDF file with 20 pages imported by GIMP will result in 20 image files! )
SOMEONE please HELP ME!

I'm a little confused: do you have the ICC profiles as separate files? Or are they in one special file that only your Epson driver can access?
If you have separate files, try turning off color management in the driver and printing with the profiles out of Photoshop. If you don't have separate files, choose the paper/ink combination you use most and have a custom profile built, then use that out of Photoshop and see if it makes a difference.

Chooser problem with HP PSC 1410 and HP Deskjet 5940 on Classic

Excuse me for my bad english, I am french... !!!
I have just bought macmini with HP DeskJet 5940 promotion. I installed internet last driver for it. Printing is OK with Mac OS 10.4.4 but doesn't work with Classic. Printer is connected by USB port. I tried with another HP printer : HP PSC 1410. It doesn't work too under Classic.
When I try to print under Classic from SimpleText, I obtain the message : "SimpleText ne peut imprimer un autre document pour le moment. Utilisez le sélecteur pour choisir une imprimante". I translate in english : "SimpleText can't print another document for this time. Use chooser to select a printer."
I open chooser and click on LaserWriter8 as indicated in documentation. I obtain a new message : "LaserWriter8 requiert AppleTalk. Assurez-vous que vous êtes bien connecté au réseau AppleTalk." I translate in english : "LaserWriter8 asks AppleTalk. Be sure that you are connected to AppleTalk net.". I click on OK and two new message appears : "Impossible d'ouvrir AppleTalk". I translate in englisk : "Can't open AppleTalk" and "Pour activer AppleTalk, ouvrez les préférences Réseau et cliquez sur AppleTalk". I translate : "To activate AppleTalk, open net preferences and click on AppleTalk". Evidently, that is already made !
But it is absolutely necessary that I can use deskjet printers under Classic with my macmini which runs on Mac OS 10.4.4 !
I turn around the problem and I don't find solution. Have you some ideas ?
Thank you for your help !

Pardon: je parlais Francais comme une vache espagnol et unless HP specifically says so, there is no guarantee that any modern printer will work in Classic - partly because printer manufacturers don't bother with aging software, and partly because some printer manufacturers seem not to understand that Classic over OS X deals with printers very differently from the way pure, bottable OS 9 does.
If you have a freshly installed OS X with a freshly installed Classic 9 and the right versions of HP's drivers and utilities, it should work - but if any of those is not freshly installed, there might be third-party components interfering.
If all-fresh software doesn't work, launch Apple's own Desktop Printer Utility and tell it to create a virtual Desktop Printer with Translator Postscript.
Even though it doesn't actually appear on the Desktop, that will become the default printer for Classic, accessible thorugh Chooer's LaserWriter driver.
Try again to print from SimpleText but set the dialog to Print to File, which should create a .ps file that can be dragged onto any X print queue, where it should just print! (To find an X print queue, Print from any X application and tell the Dock to Keep the icon)
That method is not guaranteed, but it does work for most people with most printers.

Chooser problem in 9.1 ?

Can't print to my Laserwriter select 360, or make PDFs, or send faxes. When I go to do any of this it tells me to select a printer in the chooser.
When I go to do this it shows up but does not stick, however it is still creating a desktop printer icon.
All the printers and there drivers are showing up in the apple profiler, so they are there...
The computer is communicating with the printer, at least when I tell it to set up it makes all the lights flash and my other computer that is networked with it can print to it without a problem. So it is not a problem with cables or the printer itself.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I have run out of ideas.

Epson/illustrator/mountain lion print quality problem

Hi,
I just upgraded to mountain lion and now have problems printing from Illustrator CS4 and my Epson R1900. The print quality has drastically declined. I loaded the printers software update, tried every possible print setting but just can not get my files printed in a decent quality anymore.
I also tried to add the printer again but the response I am getting is : Can't install the software for the EPSON Stylus Photo R1900 because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
However, according to Epson this model is compatible with Mountain Lion
Anybody else had this problem and/or a possible solution for me? Thanks in advance

I think the server might be busy or there are problems. Try later.

Photoshop CS3 - Epson Stylus Photo R3000 Color Management Problem

I just purchased an Epson Stylus Photo R3000 to replace my R1800 which finally had print head clogs which could not be fixed. I had some christmas photos that I wanted to print and when I attempt to print one particular image I am getting inconsistent and incorrect results. When I print from Photoshop using Photoshop Manages Colors and selecting SPR3000 Premium Glossy to print on my Epson glossy paper the image comes out much too dark. If I print the same image from Aperture using Aperture manages colors and the same profile the print is lighter and closer to my calibrated monitor but a blue shirt is still too purple. To get the print correct I must use "Printer manages color", use Colorsync in the printer and select the SPR3000 Premium Glossy profile.
I downloaded the PDI_Target_AdobeRGP image from George Ballard's website and printed it both with photoshop managing colors and printer manages colors. The two images are close but the photoshop manages color printing method results in a print which is a little too dark while the printer manages color selection is almost perfect.
I have never had this problem before and have always head excellent results using Photoshop Manages Color. I suspect that perhaps the profile supplied by Epson has a problem.
I am using OSX 10.8.2, Mountain Lion. My monitor is recently calibrated using a Spyder 3.
Does anyone have suggestions regarding fixing or diagnosing this problem?

I take it you are seeing "Photoshop Manages Color" in the print dialog box? Epson drivers are pretty good, so I'm not surprised you are getting somewhat better results with "Printer Manages Color". The key is to apply the RGB and CMYK profiles used in Photoshop in the driver dialogs. For instance, if you've set the RGB work space in Photoshop for Adobe RGB, then ( I would ) use the same profile in the driver. Some images perform well in sRGB; but I typically stay away from sRGB because of its limited color gamut. I've used "Colorsync" in the print dialogs, but there are several other options you can try to get closer. The Blues and Reds you see on screen will sometimes not be able to be printed with certain printers because of their limitations. However, you've said you didn't have problems before and now with this new printer you are seeing new problems. Try contacting Ballard again and see if he has any recommendations. He might even be able to calibrate that printer for you. Or, try a third party calibration service like ColorHQ.com. If you apply an RGB profile in Photoshop, like the Adobe RGB profile, then you are somewhat having Photoshop manage color in the application. By selecting "Let Printer Manage Color" in the print dialog, you are telling the driver to honor the color coming out of Photoshop and you can confirm that by selecting Adobe RGB in the print dialogs. I would experiment with all of the RGB profiles ( Colormatch, ProPhoto, Adobe RGB, and sRGB ) to see which one performs the best using the print driver.

Epson Stylus 820 Print Image Matching Problem

I've recently upgraded my system to the OS 10.4.10 and am having a problem with my printer. It will not recognize the PIM II from my Photoshop or for that matter any other application. Printing Colors are no longer matching? When I was using the 10.3, PIM II was working great but with the upgrade it's not.
I find that the 10.4.10 is using an Epson Stylus Photo 820 Gimp Print V5.0.0 Beta driver. Epson unfortunately does not offer a driver specifically for this printer for my system and I believe this may be the problem.
Can anyone shed some light on the for me...
Sure would appreciate some advice and input..
Thanks,
Ron

I also upgrade my G4 to Leopard and now seem to have lost the printer utility that came with the Epson 820. I reinstalled from the CD and I still can't find it in my applications folder. I had it right on my dock before the upgrade and then it had a Question mark in it's place after the Leopard upgrade.
The reinstall seem to do nothing and now I can't check my ink levels or clean heads or any of that.
What's up? I guess time for a new printer eh?

Cannot print from E65 to bluetooth Epson RX620

Hi,
I have paired my printer and authorised it with my E65.
When I attempt to print a gallery image, first it asks me for the passkey (remember its authorised), then it says unable to print.
Please advise on how to get the two talking via bluetooth.
Thanks.
Neil

I'm having the same problem with my HP Z3100 in Windows 7 64-bit
The kludgy workaround is to choose a different printer from the "Printer" drop down list at the top, then re-choose the printer you wanted in the first place.
But at least you don't have to quit Photoshop to start printing.
(Careful - your choices in color management may change to defaults when you re-choose your printer.)

Time Capsule with Epson XP-200 wireless set up problems

I'm going through the Epson install software to set up my Epson XP-200 to print wirelessly.
I am running a network off of my TimeCapsule. As instructed I have the printer plugged in via USB to my MacBook running 10.6.8.
I have confirmed that the MacBook is on my TimeCapsule network.
During the setup process in the Epson install software I am getting this error:
"The network channel assigned to your Wi-Fi network is not supported by the printer. This may disable your printer's Wi-Fi connection."
Any ideas what this means and how to fix?

Not an error I have ever seen, but not all channels are allowed in every region.
See list here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels
For instance in europe or any country using ETSI regulations the channels 12 and 13 are allowed..
But equipment made for US is restricted to max channel of 11.
Anyway have a try with just manually fixing channels in your TC.. that function is available in airport utility. Set the TC to channels, 11, 6, 1 in that order for 2.4ghz and pick what works best.
Whilst you are there, change the wireless names to SMB compatible.. since most printers are designed for SMB ie windows networking.. the names should be short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.

In trying to install epson software in my powerbook g4, it states that I do not have admin priveledges. In all other uses, I have admin priv. Without the epson driver, nothing prints properly. Epson says it is a mac problem. Have had filevault problems.

Thanks for all help.

The Epson drivers need to be installed from an administrator's account and not just have a standard user supply administror's credentials. I suppose it is possible that Epson's installer gets confused by FileVault on this account.
Try creating a new account and allow it to administer the computer. Don't turn on FileVault for that account. Install the print drivers from the newly created account. You can then delete the account or demote it to a standard user account as you wish.
