Epson stylus photo r2880 printer problem

I changed the settings for printing color prints and now I can't correct what I've done.  I was getting dark prints and so I figured I'd try a different setting... between "Printer manages colors" and "Photoshop manages colors".  I've completely mucked things up so now I'm getting really dark prints with very little magenta and cyan.  I'd like to return to what I had as I'm on a deadline but, I can't remember what the original setting were.  Relative Colorimetric or Absolute?  Was Black Point Compensation checked? Was 16 bit/channel checked?  I'm so confused and I have prints that clients need.  Thanks in advance for any HELP!  Gregory

be sure to UnCheck the 16-bit option in the Epson print dialogs (it is a known bug that causes dark, off-colr prints)

  • HT3669 I have a wide format Stylus photo R2880 printer. Since connecting to my OSX 10.92, my images are printing grey. What can I do?

    I have a Epson Stylus Photo R2880 printer. Since installing it on my IMac sometimes I get good images, but sometimes they are grey or faded. What is the problem?

    You could have a mechanical fault. Without knowing the exact mechanics if this model, many ink printers have two sections to their print head - a black section and a colour section consisting of cyan, magenta and yellow inks. For you to be getting faded or grey prints then it can indicate the colour section is not working correctly. So see if you can perform a nozzle test to check that all colours are working correctly and if not, perform a print head clean.

  • Kodak Professional paper color profiles for Epson Stylus Photo R2880

    Is there a color profile for the Epson Stylus Photo R2880 for Kodak Professional paper (lustre)?

    A member of the Brand Management Group responsed. There is no color profile for my printer at this time. However, I was given a profile to try and it worked very well.
    Thank you Brand Management Group.

  • Epson Stylus Photo 1400 detection problem

    Hi all,
    I have an Intel based iMac with 27 inches display and a Macbook. They are both running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    I'm trying to install my Epson Stylus Photo 1400 printer on my iMac but having quite difficult times. I installed everything that came with the Epson installation CD. But I see the problem is beyond a driver issue because my iMac does not detect the printer at all.
    When I plugged the printer to my Macbook without even installing the drivers it automatically detected that a printer is plugged in. In the case of iMac however, I even updated Epson printer drivers from Apple Software Update page but it still behaves like nothing has been plugged in to any of the USB ports. I have four ports and I tried every one them by the way. The ports themselves are OK because I have an external disk and it works in all four ports.
    Have you ever came across with such an issue where iMac does not detect a plugged in USB printer.
    Thank you.

  • Bought a new Mac Pro, purchased a Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter, then hooked up Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer but the system preferences does not see the printer. Started, restarted, hit the " " to add a  printer but no go.

    How to connect via Firewire/Thunderbolt adapter an Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer to a new Mac Pro

    When you switch from USB to FireWire, you have essentially installed a new (i.e., different) Printer.
    In the Add-a-Printer dialog, delete[-] the existing Printer queue which is set up for USB. Then, with the Printer connected via FireWire, Add [+] a new Printer queue and it should set it up correctly this time.
    To go back to USB, you would have to delete and re-add in a similar fashion later.

  • Using Lightroom for Windows 8.1 with Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer.

    Using Lightroom for Windows 8.1 with Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer.  From PRINT section, if I click either "Page Setup" or "Printer" I get the Epson printer dialog box, drill down, change settings- so far so good.  When I'm finished with the settings and close the dialog box (hit OK) the print job starts immediately; I never get a chance to hit the Lightroom "Print" button.  Question: does this bypass any Lightroom processing or control of the print job?

    Even if I just click the Printer button to verify my settings I should then return to Lightroom, and then click Print to start the job.  This does not happen, the job starts as soon as I close the properties dialog box.  Again, is any Lightroom processing or control being bypassed because of this?

  • Epson Stylus Photo 820 print workaround for OS 10.3.9?

    Howdy!
    I have an Epson Stylus Photo 820 that I'm using under OS 10.3.9- that I can't seem to (directly) print to out of in most applications. It works fine in Safari and Entourage and Quark; but out of Photoshop, Illustrator; InDesign, Word, etc., there's no print option. I have to click Preview first and then am able to print. It doesn't work at all with Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 and one or two other apps. The driver I have installed is version 1.1.0 (I didn't see any updated drivers on the Epson page). The Print Manager sees it in the queue. It's checked and set as the default printer. Yet, I still have the headache.
    Anyone else having similar problems? Is there a workaround?
    Also- I kind of miss my printing options of my (long gone and MUCH better quality) Epson 740 under OS 9 where I could set the print quality level of the print out. Is there a similar option for the 820 under OS 10.3.9?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Thanks, but the one driver that may have worked (though it states for OS's 10.1.3-10.2.6... there is no 10.3.9 version) has a dead link.

    This is really frustrating that Epson will take your money and not support their product. No wonder they have a huge class action suit against them.

  • Using iMac, Aperture 3, and & Epson Stylus Photo R1800 printer: How come my prints look like trash?

    I have calibrated my iMac Intel Core i3 and printing through Aperture 3 with an Epson Stylus Photo R1800 is not producing great results. Cyan is dominating along with blue lines through the grass in the picture. I figure the lines are a result of clogged head...but the fact the prints are not close to the image on the screen is alarming. HELP!!!

    SFSteinie,
    There is an Aperture forum, I'd recommend reposting there and perhaps another R I 1800 users has some insight you may not know about.

  • What's the best driver for an Epson Stylus Photo R260 printer?

    After the last couple of driver updates for Mavericks, my printer won't print just black although it is using the black ink to shade colors darker. I previously used another driver but didn't buy it after the trail period was up but now I'm getting desperate. Unfortunately, I can't remember that driver's name. Does anyone have a suggestion for a driver for an epson stylus photo r260 inkjet?

    How are you trying to set the print to just black? Are you setting the color to Grayscale under Print Settings in the Print window?
    Should be the same for the 260 as the 280. 

  • Epson Stylus Photo R2880 feeds paper straight through without printing

    So I recently got an Epson R2880 at work, and it at first it was awesome. After a few days, it started feeding paper straight through without printing (it doesn't even pretend to print) and telling me that the "Media [is] out or not loaded correctly". I went back and forth with Epson on it for a bit, and they ended up sending me a new printer.
    The new printer seemed to work fine for a day or so, and then it started doing the same thing. If I turn it off and remove it from my printers list and then turn it back on and try again, sometimes it will make a print before starting to feed straight through again.
    Here in the office, most of my printing consists of PDFs that I do through Acrobat XI. Some of them are borderless, some of them aren't. I have also tried printing from Preview and straight from InDesign CC and received the same results. I have tried multiple USB cables and my permissions are all in order.
    I am running Mavericks 10.9.2 on a 2013 Mac Pro.
    Since it seems fairly unlikely that I received two consecutive printers that have the same problem, I'm thinking that the problem is with something on my end. I'm willing to entertain the possibility that my luck really is bad enough to have two printers feed paper instead of print on it. I'm also willing to entertain the possibility that I'm an idiot and am repeatedly doing something idiotically. Regardless, I'm hoping that someone out there has some experience with this and can point me in the right direction, because holy cow this is annoying and Epson hasn't been super helpful.
    Thank you for reading this.

    I've never seen that one!
    While waiting in the hope that "someone" will know the cause, I suggest you try the two generic fixes I try for all print problems:
    First, Reset the Printing System:

    If that doesn't help, restart from the Recovery partition, and use Disk Utility to repair the hard drive and repair permissions:

  • IPhoto 6 and Epson Stylus Photo 2200 Printer

    The photos that I print from iPhoto 6 to my Epson 2200 printer are all coming out way too green. What settings do I need to use in the print dialog -- and color management? -- to get decent results? I can print beautifully from Photoshop CS2 to the 2200. I just can't figure out what settings to use in iPhoto. Thanks in advance for your help with this question. _sidpink

    Kingstone's reply was helpful even though a little discouraging. But it made me realize that the problem probably lies with the choice of which software is doing the color management. The Epson 2200 printer driver provides some "advanced" settings in the print window, and I had been specifying "No color adjustment," because that's the setting recommended when printing from Photoshop. I had simply been trying the same setting when printing from iPhoto. But I went back and printed a photo from iPhoto using the "Color Controls" setting (without changing any of the variables), and the print came out perfectly! So I've answered the question to my satisfaction thanks to Kingstone's reply -- and I don't have to go out and invest in Photoshop Elements.

  • Epson Stylus Pro 3800 printing problem

    I have run the software update today and my iMac shows 10.6.2 now. After the upgrade my Epson printer stopped working. I was still printing photos yesterday before the software update. I got this message:
    Library not loaded: /Library/Printers/EPSON/CIOSupport/CIOSupport.framework/Versions/A/CIOSupport
    Referenced from: /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter/Filter/rastertoescp.app/Contents/MacOS/ra stertoescp
    Reason: image not found
    I have already uninstalled the printer drive software, delete the printer in system references, rebooted the computer. Then I installed the printer driver from scratch and added the printer in system references but still not working. Please advise.
    Thank,
    Edmond.

    I have a 24" iMac connected to a USB hub and an AT&T 2-Wire DSL/ethernet hub. When I upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.1 and now the update 10.6.2, the two printers on the USB hub work fine but the HP Laserjet 4100dtn does not print. This old printer has only ethernet or serial ports. I've downloaded and installed the HP driver updates from Apple and HP to no avail. According to HP, I must add the 4100 manually using its IP. I've followed the instructions while adding a printer to select IP- HP Jetdirect - Socket. The address of the printer is 10.0.1.100. When I type this in, the window says that this is a valid and complete address. It searches and then says the "Print Using:" is a Generic PostScript Printer. The driver for this printer, I believe, should be "HP LaserJet 4100 Series v.3010.107" Regardless, when I click Add the window "Determining Installable Options" shows "Status: Connecting to printer..." It never establishes a connection.
    The 2-Wire DSL/Ethernet Hub/Modem, has an IP of 192.1687.1.66, Submask 255.255.255.0 and Router (DNS) 192.168.1.254.
    If I plug the ethernet cable directly from the printer to the iMac, the supply level shows correctly but will not print. If I plug the ethernet cable from the printer to the 2-Wire and then to the iMac, it neither shows supply level nor prints.
    Any suggestion as to how to fix this problem? (I've been on the phone with 3 different Apple respresentatives and 1 HP representative with no success.)

  • Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer driver will not update from 2.53 to 3.0

    I am having an issue with installing a print driver from Epson's web site. I do not have access to the print options or any other settings of the printer when i try to FILE>PRINT. The choices are crossed off the list and say "This panel is not compatible with your computer. Contact the printer manufacturer for the latest version of your printer software."
    It says my driver is version 2.53, I installed the 3.0 Driver numerous times today, one of which was with an Epson tech support representative and their conclusion was that it is something wrong with my computer.
    The printer prints and is recognized in the print & fax utility; i can add and remove it at will, but the 2.53 will not upgrade to 3.0.
    Has anyone had this problem?

    Hi Apos, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Is this the driver you got, v3.10...

  • Epson stylus photo RX595 Printer stopped after updates

    I just updated my computer stuff to 10.5.7 and my printer suddenly stopped working. I actually updates several items, but I imagine it was the OS. I can access the printer utility and it will still give me ink levels and other info, but it won't print. The status just changes to "stopped." Stuff like this makes me want to not update the computer.
    Any ideas?

    I don't have any answers for you. Something similar happened to me . . . when I went wireless with Apple Airport Extreme. I did everything: read all the postings on the topic . . . and there a zillion! I called Epson, they have NO CLUE. I finally connected the printer directly to my iMac, so I am able to print, but I am still unable to scan.
    You might try trashing all the Epson stuff in your apps folder and reinstalling from the discs or from the website. Good Luck.
    If anyone else has an idea, I'd love to hear it. I have a drawer full of Epson inkjet cartridges, so am reluctant tow switch to another printer . . . but I am sorely tempted.
