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.

Printing from iPhoto to Epson Stylus R1900-Lack of Layout and other options

I have just begun using my MacBook Pro for photo use, and also just acquired an Epson R1900. When I print from iPhoto to the R1900, I can only print 1 photo per page. The usual Epson screen which has an option to change layout, e.g., to multiple photos per page does not appear. If I try to print from Mail the usual Epson screen does appear. Why not in iPhoto like it always has in the past on my iMac when printing to my previous, Canon i950? This is a major concern to me since my wife likes to keep our photos as multiples per page in a scrapbook. I'm using iPhoto '09, vers. 8.1.2., and OS 10.5.8, and the latest update of the Epson driver for the R1900 which claims to be fine with OS 10.5.8.

Well, I found how to get to "Settings." There is a button in the photo area entitled "Customize," which leads to a screen with various options on the bottom, one of which is "Settings." If I click on that I get a small dialog box including the option to select "Multiple Photos per Page." So far it looks like I need to do some very tedious custom sizing to get, say, 4 photos on 1 8x10 page. There is a "Layout" button on the "Customize" screen; however, it only wants to give me horizontal or vertical page orientations; or ones which have the option of adding a title underneath. In the past, if I choose multiple photos per page (or "N up") I could then choose how many: 2, 3, 4, etc photos per page and the program sizes them accordingly. I still get that when I use my old iMac with iPhoto '05 to print to the Epson R1900. Works nice and easy.
Also, I'm confused by the fact that iPhoto '09 does not allow a "Page Setup" file command. This is making it difficult for me to get the photos oriented in a way that they will fit in groups. So far, iPhoto '09 is proving to be very awkward to work with compared with my past experience with iPhoto '05.

I'm having trouble getting my photos centered for printing from iphoto to lexmark pinnacle pro 901 printer. How am I able to do that? Thanks. Sheila

I'm having trouble centering photos from iphoto to Lexmark Pinnacle Pro 901 series printer. How might I accomplish that?
Thanks,
Sheila

even when the hard drive is compatable with my MacBook Air.
What is the file system on that drive? Is it formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled)?
And what is your iPhoto version? iPhoto 9.5.1?
Some how I have trouble trying to drag my photos to my drive and it is not letting me to do so
What exactly happens when you try to drag photos to your drive? Are you dragging from iPhoto's window to the drive?
Can you export your photos, when you select the photos on iPhoto and use the command "File > Export"?

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 Pro 3800 - Prints too dark.

I had a Hewlett - Packard pigment ink printer and until it bit the dust, it printed very accurate, beautiful and to the display prints. I have a cheap Canon printer that puts out prints that can match the display too. I just purchased a new Epson Stylus 3800 printer and my prints are much too dark, too much contrast and ever so slightly posterized.
I am using Photoshop CS2. I have checked and I believe the drivers on my printer are current. I have tried letting the printer determine colors as well as letting Photoshop determine colors and turning off the printer controls in the print setting dialogue. The prints are OK - ish, but just not what's on screen and not what I want them to be. My screen is calibrated well enough. It is not paramount that my prints be totally and completely like the display but close.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you one and all for all of this valuable advice. I have a professional coming in to tutor me. I know I can love this printer and want it to work for me as it works for some of you.
Ralph: The 3800 IS set as my default printer. I think I have the most recent drivers but am not positive because I can't find the driver folder to check the version. I know . . . . please bear with me, I try very hard. I have crashed three computers (crashed to the point of needing to be reformatted) and have learned the hard way, be careful when you download.
I used the in house (display calibration device) to calibrate my monitor. I feel it will do well enough for what I want to accomplish. The white point is set at 6000 and I set the tgarget gamma at 2.2 because I found the Mac Standard 1.8 made the display too bright.
My step by step printing settings are pretty basic: I use the embedded profile on one it is sRGBIEC61966-2.1 and on the other it is Duotone. Print With Preview, Let Photoshop Determine Colors, Black Point Compensation checked, and Rendering Intent set to Relative Colormetric. In the Printer Profile: I use the profile I downloaded from the paper's site OR an Epson profile. In the printer driver dialogue I make sure the 3800 is the chosen. Printer Color Management: I check the radio button for Off (No Color Adjustment) In the Print Settings dialogue (I have tried many with the same results.) The closest I came to what I wanted is when I used the front manuel feeder setting, with Velvet Fine Art Paper and checked Advanced Setting, Superfine - 2880 dpi and unchecked High Speed.
For the Let Printer Determine Colors I used Relative Colormetric. In the Printer Color Management I checked Color Controls. In Print Settings I used the same as above, Velvet Fine, Advanced and 2880dpi with High Speed off. The results were similar to the Photoshop settings but both were still too dark with very faint posterization in the gradients.
I have tried many combinations and I always go back to be sure, if I am letting Photoshop do the colors, to check and see if Off (No Color Adjustment) is still checked.
Jeff: Again to all and to you Jeff, thank you for your input. I AM trying but it's difficult. Around here there aren't many with the kind of expertise you have and so I have tried to learn this on my own. All I want to do is print my things. Just get the printer to do my things . . . . one good print at a time.
Sorry this is so long. I am going to get booted now. My server is going off-line to do upgrades. I am receiving my internet through low frequency microwaves and the little start up wants to make it better.
Thank you all for this helpful advice. I will now try to digest it.

If anyone knows were I can find the driver folder (exactly) I will look for it. When I open the Epson Utility it says Epson Printer Utility2 3.57 . . . . when I go to the Epson download site it says the version of the driver offered is 3.57 and so I think that I've got the right version.

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.

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.

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.

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 Pro 3800 - reporting an issue

I have an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 connected via Ethernet which is recognized by Bonjour.
When I tried to add this printer, the driver was not recognized as I was presented with "Select Driver to Use" for "Print Using".
I then went to the Epson support page and found Printer Driver v3.5cE which has Mac OS X (v10.5 - 10.5.x) listed. After downloading and installing, I am presented with "EPSON SPro 3800" for "Print Using" but when I "Add" the printer, I get the following error message "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. Error: -9672"
I am testing this out on my Powerbook G4 before I actually install Leopard on my production machine.

After uninstalling the Epson driver, installing the Epson drivers (1.5GB) from the Optional Install package (which didn't contain the driver for the 3800 but you can't know until after you've installed the optional drivers), and reinstalling the downloaded 3.5cE driver, I was still given the error.
Bonjour doesn't work, but IP does. By selecting More Printers and then selecting Epson TCP/IP, the printer showed up in the list and I was able to add it to my list of printers without the error. The Supplies button in the Printer Queue window doesn't work but Epson's utility can access the printer and get the ink levels, etc as usual.
It appears to be a CUPS bug. In the cups/access_log, I noticed the following lines while trying to add the Epson printer:
localhost - - 27/Oct/2007:16:46:57 +0800 "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 75 CUPS-Get-Default client-error-not-found
I have just printed a high-res photo on the printer, a photo I printed using the same printer/sharpening/settings/etc only a week ago. I compared the two photos and there are no discernible differences. My Epson is accessible and working

Printing from iPhoto on Epson CX6600

Well I have tried printing photos using my Mac for the 1st time since I got it, and I am having terrible trouble.
I have installed the Intel Compatible Epson CX6600 drivers on my Macbook. I am using Tiger 10.4.8 and iPhoto supplied with the Mac with all the latest updates. Printing from iPhoto (and actually the GIMP) is proving problematic. 1stly is seems to be difficult to orient my pictures to fit 4x6 photo paper and crop in so there are no white borders and also to print the right way around.
Secondly, the print quality when I finally do print is terrible. The colors are washed out, it's grainy and there are faint lines in the image. Oddly enough, if I print using Windows (parallels) the image quality is perfect. However since I have chosen iPhoto to organise my photographs, it'd be nice to use it.
I see two issues. One is that the paper size is not shown correctly in the drop down. I get a choice of letter, legal, A4, A5 and then a bunch of codes like W665GH45 or something.
Second issue is there does not seem to be any 'print quality' option, as I am sure that this is the issue. The image comes out with a print quality similar to "Draft" in windows. In Windows you can change this to high quality or photo quality easily, in OS X I cannot see where this option is.
Thanks in advance for help.

Anyone?

Problems printing using iPhoto and Epson Stylus Photo R2400

I'm using OS 10.5.6 and iPhoto 8.0.2(402) to print pictures on my Epson Stylus Photo R2400.
I have other printers set up on this computer and they all print everything just fine regardless of the program I am using.
Using the Epson Stylus, I'm able to print from any other program than iPhoto.
When I try to print pictures from iPhoto, I get the error message...
can't open ` /private/var/spool/cups/tmp/4a18c65407c9b (the numbers at the end changes each time I try to print.
When I go in to check the folders out to see what might be causing the problem, the permissions on the folder cups and tmp have the following rights set up. system = Read & Write, _lp = No Access, everyone = No Access.
I've been able to set the everyone setting to equal Read & Write access, but I can't get the _lp access to change. When I reboot the computer, the everyone setting goes back to No Access.
Any ideas for how I can get this to work?
Thanks,
Bill

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't have a tried and true fix for that but I would start with dumping the printer driver via the System/Print pane and then reinstall it. Go to the Epson site to download the latest driver for that particular model in case there's a newer one released.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.
