Epson Stylus pro 4800 on my iMac.

I am attempting to use my Epson Stylus Pro 4800 on my new iMac (OS X 10.7.3). It is connected by USB. No luck. I have installed the driver 14360.dmg however I am still unable to set up the printer. When I go to add printer no fields are available and the printer is not listed? Am I missing a step? Do I need to add more software? The disc that came with the printer says it includes drivers, not software. Help.

The printer dialogue will only show printers connected (either physically or wirelessly) to your Mac.
There's got to be a simple answer to this as your Mac should find the printer. Epson has a Lion driver, so your printer should work.
Try a different USB cable and / or plug the printer into a different USB port on your Mac, then switch your printer on.

Problem printing from cs6 photoshop to epson stylus pro 4800 printer

Has anyone had trouble printing from cs6 on a mac running lion to a epson stylus pro 4800 printer? I keep getting an error message saying "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."" The computer sees the printer just fine and has the latest driver installed. I have removed it and reinstalled it many times . I need help with this.

Yes, the menu items are not unavailable. We were already aware of the "Reveal Arrow" issue under OSX v10.5.3. The most important print menu items such as "Print Settings" and "Color Management" are simply not present. As previously stated we've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the latest (v3.66) "Universal" print driver on both hosts and all of our client Macs. A resolution to this problem is very urgent as our semester begins this week and currently students can not print their next week assignments.

Bonjour with Epson Stylus Pro 4800

I can't connect the Epson Stylus Pro 4800 with Bonjour.
Bonjour detects the Printer but after a few seconds there comes this message:
Error: -9672

Shame on me! :-O
Still... it seems the -9672 error is attributable to the Printer in all the cases I've found, but a very few have been able to cure it by downloading the Instaaller/Driver from the Manufacturer, rather than using the ones on the CD.

Problem with printing (Epson Stylus Pro 4800)

All of a sudden, my black and white photos are printing in sepia tone. I have Photoshop CS3 and an Epson Sylus Pro 4800. Interestingly, in the printer profile drop-down menu, it used to say "Pro 4800 PLPP". Now it defaults to "Working RGB - sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1". I suspect it has something to do with Color Settings... but I didn't change anything. Please help!!! Thank you in advance.

Once you've digested that entire web site, come back if you have further problems. You need to understand color management first.

Epson Stylus Pro 4800 Printer Sharing Broken

We have 2 Epson 4800 printers, each attached via USB to it's own dedicated iMac (Intel OSX 10.5.3 w/ Epson SPR4800 Universal Driver v3.66). The iMacs have printer sharing turned on. The printers are shared across our ethernet LAN to approx 50 other Mac workstations. Over half of those are PPC G5 PowerMacs the rest are Intel MacPro's. All are running OSX 10.5.3 with the latest Epson 4800 Universal Driver v3.66.
Our problem is most of the printer control menu items are missing from the print window when client Macs attempt to print from Photoshop CS3 using Photoshop color management.
We've tried unstalling and reinstalling the lastest universal driver both on the host iMacs as well as the client PowerMac's and MacPro's. Any comments on why this happening and suggested remedies would be much appreciated.

Epson Stylus Pro 4800 with 10.7.5 - yellow printouts

Since getting a new imac I am unable to get a good printout. all the printouts are yellowish, with red flaring and type is green (see images below). I first thought my print heads were clogged due to lack of use but I had it serviced and the nozzle check and alignment are fine now. I have checked and rechecked the setting. Tried different settings. I have reinstalled the driver. I still have the old computer and now that also produces yellow printouts. Could it be the cable I'm using? I have a USB connection which I thought was a firewire at first because where it plugs in to the printer its more squarish rather than traditional usb retangle. There is an unused port that is larger that I'm not sure what its for? Perhaps there were 2 options for connecting the printer and I need to try the other one? Could it be a compatibility issue between the new computer and old printer? Could there be a glitch that I need a patch for? I've been working on this all day and I'm stumped and can't find information online or at Epson. Please send any information you may have.

As has been suggested in your other thread, most printer software includes a 'clean nozzles' command, but I would add that you should all replace all your printer ink cartridges since you said that they haven't been used for a while, as they will probably keep clogging.

Bonjour on Windows Vista Business (Epson Stylus Pro 4800)

I've installed Bonjour 1.0.3 on Vista Business.
But the print stuck on about the half page. I think, Apple has to update Bonjour for Windows Vista.
Do you have another idea?
Best wishes.

Epson stylus pro 4800 prints very yellow prints

No combination of the settings in Print dialogue, or "Print Settings..." dialogue seem to generate anything other then a dramatically yellow cast image. Photoshop on the same computer, and all tests on the PCs print normally. Other people on this list have said they can print consistently between Photoshop, Aperture and the 4800.
So is there anyone here who has a 4800 that is working for you so that I can find out what the missing piece.
Thanks

No combination of the settings in Print dialogue, or "Print Settings..." dialogue seem to generate anything other then a dramatically yellow cast image.
All other things being equal, a yellow cast could occur (1) if the gamut mapping in the ICC profile for the configuration of the printing system (hardware behaviour + inkset + paper) is compensating for a bluish tint in the paper, caused by optical brightener in the paper, by shifting the graybalance in the image towards yellow, and (2) if some other paper than the paper intended in the ICC profile were loaded. In this scenario, the compensation in the graybalance, which would appear neutral on the intended paper, now appears as a colour cast in the graybalance. Colour appearance, including graybalance compensation and softclipping in shadows (as opposed to colorimetric linear clipping) is part of the gamut mapping in the printing table, 0 Perceptual.

Networking Epson Atylus Pro 4800

I have a Firewire Epson Stylus Pro 4800 on a G4 running OSX10.2, this is on an ethernet network connected to 3 MacPros. I've just upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6 and can no longer see the Epson on the network. As Appletalk is no longer supported on Snow Leopard, is there a way to connect to the Epson? I've tried adding an IP printer using the G4's IP address with the Epson print driver, but no luck.

Contacted EFI who have said that 10.6 is NOT supported, nor are Intel macs. I will need to upgrade to EFI Express or downgrade the MacPro to 10.5.

I have a fairly new 27" iMac running Mac OS10.6.7, I'm trying to print to an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 via an in-house wireless network. I have installed the latest Epson drivers.

I have a fairly new iMac running OS 10.6.7. Im trying to print to an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 via an in-house wireless internet. I have installed the latest drivers. It was working a couple of months ago. My wife is on the same network using a MacBook Pro and the same OS and is having no problem.

I have been using an Epson 3800 with my I Mac for four years and up untill I upgraded to OSX Lion the only problem I had was colour issues associated with some ICC profiles. After upgrading to Lion and downloading the latest OSX update (10th May) I could not print.
One of the problms was that the print settings continuously defaulted to:
Page Setup: Sheet Feeder
Media Type: Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster
I would change the settings to what I wanted, I saved them selected Print. My printer promptly started changing from Matte ink (what I had set my print setting s for) to Photo Black.
After trying all i could to correct this. I finally gave up and rang the Epson Helpline. After 3 telephone calls over a day and a half during which I was talked through the procedure you described, the problems were still not resolved.
My contact on the Epson Helpline then tried to simulate the problem on his MAC. He discovered that he had the same problem the print settings would not save, albeit on a Epson 3880 driver. He then advised me that the problem was not with thw Epson Drivers it was a MAC/Apple problem.
I then rang the Apple Helpline (at £1.35 a minute) described the problem and was eventually put through to a supervisor. Who asked me to send her a set of screen shots describing the problem, This I have done, I have received an acknowledgement of receipt and have been advised that I should get a response within two working days.
I am waiting hopefully.
I have tried to print both via CS5 and Aperture the problem is the same in both instances.

Epson Stylus Pro and system resources. PowerMac G4 and iMac iSight

Originally in Mac Pro discussions
Hi Ned,
If I may, I would like to extend the discussion regarding Macs and large format printers.
At work we have a Stylus Pro 9000. On a G4 Power Mac 533Mhz/Panther/640MB RAM, the processing of jobs takes a very long time. On the iMac (G5 iSight/20"/stock 512MB RAM), it is about a third of the time in processing jobs.
Now I don't use this printer, but others are pulling their hair out to get jobs beyond the processing in the print queue. The jobs tend to cease. I have run some test jobs myself without any problems. The only difference I can see is that they are using custom sizes in the page setup where I have used set sizes i.e. A0. The other factor is that I think they have been trying very high quality output in terms of the settings they are using. (I'll add that my test runs are done when they are not in at work and vice-versa. This is a studio for artists/printmakers). I note that activity shows very little free RAM during the processing of jobs, more so on the iMac. I am wondering would adding an extra 512MB RAM improve the processing times. I am not sure if it will solve the not actually printing situation though?

I'll add that the Epson Stylus Pro printer is connected by Ethernet

Printing to my Epson Stylus Pro 3800 (Grr...)

Hi All,
I'm a fairly recent convert from Windows and I LOVE my Mac for everything EXCEPT printing to my 3800.
I have always had a problem with my Epson Stylus Pro 3800 printer on my Mac. The two just don't seem to get along. I've wasted countless pages of expensive paper and what seems like gallons of ink trying to resolve this issue, but I'm getting nowhere. I've ruled out physical problems with the printer - it works flawlessly on the three PC's I've connected to it (via usb).
Until this evening I was using the Epson drivers for this printer. They were flakey at best. I would get random 'communication errors' that could happen at any time during a print - start, end, somewhere in between or, if I was lucky, not at all. Having had enough I went looking for a solution (again) online tonight and stumbled across Gutenprint 5.2.6.
I've been able to install the drivers successfully by following the documentation but I can't get the printer to print via USB or IPP. Using usb, I get a message in the print queue 'backend USB Failed' and the printer goes into a Paused state. Using IPP the print job apprers to spool and queue reads 'Connecting to printer... ' for a while then returns with 'Unable to connect to printer; will retry in 30 seconds..'.
I believe the IPP is failing because the print queue options in the Gutenprint setup. The install says to leave Queue blank for the default queue. I tried that - it didn't print.
I browsed to the embedded 'EpsonNet Config' page in the printer and named what they call 'printer name' as printer. I presume that's the queue that the gutenprint driver wants, but I still get the same result.
When I look at EpsonNet Config, the IPP URL is http://192.168.9.166:631/printer.
When I look at the Printer Setup on the Mac, I see
Queue Name: 192_168_0166
Driver Version: 5.2.6
URL: ipp://192.168.0.166/printer
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm frustrated beyond belief with this problem and really could use some help using either the Epson drivers or Gutenprint drivers - I just want some consistent output.
Thanks in advance for any clues you may be able to offer.

Epson Stylus Pro 9800 errors on 32-bit Windows 7 with Adobe CS4

Epson Stylus Pro 9800 errors on 32-bit Windows 7 with Adobe CS4
Question: We are experiencing some major errors with printing to our Epson Stylus 9800 Pro. Some of our large files are spooling about 16K, then crashing Photoshop. Sometimes we are getting partial prints (the left most 3-4 inches of print, or the file starting to print about 1/2 way into the file itself), sometimes it just spools for a few minutes, then stops, with nothing coming from the printer at all.
At Epson's request, we have tried the following:
reinstalling Windows 7 print driver
Reinstalling Adobe CS 4
Installed NEW NIC in printer
Installed new network line to printer
Installed new main board on printer
Printed from a PC directly connected to printer via USB and crossover cable
This issue is very bizarre in that it is random and sporatic. Same file will cause one of the above errors, then, another attempt to print same file will be successful. We have several Windows 7 machines that get the issue, while several Windows XP machines are fine. Epson instructed us to install the newest (win7) driver on the XP machines, issue then affects XP machines. Uninstalling new driver and re-installing old driver on XP machines resolves issue on XP machines.
Is this an issue with the Epson driver? CS4 on Windows 7? Or some other malady?

Photoshop CS6 on a Mac using an Epson Stylus PRO 3800 printer.

Installed Photoshop CS6 on a Mac Version 10.9.4. Installed an Epson Stylus PRO 3800 printer. When I try to print through Photoshop the dialogue box won't give the option to color manage. I followed the link suggested in the print dialogue box but that was for CS5 and said it will only work with TIFF files. I work with .psd files. I downloaded it but my Mac will not let me open it. Any help would be most appreciated. Mary Ellen

From Chris Cox: If you choose "Photoshop manages color", then Photoshop is managing the color and the printer driver is supposed to disable it's color controls (and let Photoshop manage the color).
If Photoshop is managing the color, then there is nothing else for the printer driver to do - so it grays out it's own color controls because they don't apply while Photoshop is managing the color.
