How do you install printer profiles in Lion?

After Installing Lion , I cannot figure out how to install new printer profiles.  Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Both Epson and HP have been playing a game of Hide-and-Seek for the last year or two. Instead of putting the profiles they install into one of the common Profiles folders, they are in the /Library/Printers/ folder. For Epson, drill down to /Library/Printers/Epson/InkjetPrinter2/ICCProfiles. At least, this is where the installer for the Stylus Pro 4900 puts them.
It was much harder to find those installed for the Stylus Pro 4000. They are still in this general area, but were hidden inside one of the .plugin packages a bit deeper into the folder structure.
Either way, the Epson print drivers know where these profiles are and show up in the print dialogue boxes. Trouble is, other apps, such as Adobe, Quark, can't see them, so you can't choose any of the profiles from those program's print option boxes.
The only solution is to locate the profiles in the /Library/Printers/ folder and move all profiles to either the /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder, or the Profiles folder in your user account. You want to move instead of copy so each profile isn't showing up twice in the Epson print dialogue box.

  • How can you install Mac OS X Lion on a new, empty hard drive?

    If the only way to install Mac OS X Lion is by downloading it via the Mac App Store, it's going to be very difficult to put it on a brand-new hard drive unless Apple provides us with workarounds,So what should we do when want to install Mac OSX Lion on new HD?
    ThanQ

    What you get from the Mac App Store will be an Installer Application. You will be able to transfer that Installer from Mac to Mac. I have not seen it yet, but we may also be able to burn an installer disk, we shall have to see just how things work.
    Apple has always been known as an innovative company. And when they announce something new folks always go nuts with reasons that this cannot work. When Apple stopped making Macs with floppy drives and iMacs only had optical drives, people went crazy. Today no one makes computers with floppy drives.

  • How do you specify printer profiles in Elements 11?

    I upgraded from Elements 7 where there was a "drop-down" box that listed all of the available printer profiles to choose from.  I don't see a drop-down box in Elements 11 to accomplish the same thing.  I use Color Munki to set up printer profiles and can't find them in Elements 11.

  • How do I install icc profiles? I keep getting message that folder can't be modified.

    How do I install ICC profiles on Lion? I keep getting an error message that the folder can't be modified. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    If the profiles need to be accessed by all user accounts on that Mac, follow Martin's instructions for getting the main Library folder to appear. In order to place items into the folder, you need the admin name and password before the OS will allow you to add (or remove) any items. It's either that, or you have to copy the same profiles into every individual user account.
    If the only user of the Mac is you, then the Profiles folder in your user account will work just as well.

  • How do you install mountain lion on all your macs in the household using one 20 dollar license?

    how do you install mountain lion on all your macs in the houshold with the same license (you only pay 20 bucks for all your macs) is that right?

    As long as they're all logged into the Mac App store with the same Apple ID, you can re-download the installer to all the Macs.
    Or you can save a copy of the installer file before you run it and use that to update the other Macs. The ML installer file will appear in your Applications folder when it's done downloading. Copy it to another location (don't move it).
    If you don't copy it before you upgrade, it will disappear when ML is finished installing.

  • How do you install HP Photosmart Apple software with just an iPad?

    I have an iPad 2 with iOS 7 and a new HP Photosmart 7520 all in one printer. How do you install the Apple software on the CD if you don't have a computer to do so?
    Is there some kind of wifi internet install of the CD's software or do I have to go find a computer to do this?
    This is frustrating and I can't find info that says what to do.
    Thanks in advance for any help with this.

    You should not need to install the CD software.
    Your Printer Model Appears to be AirPrint Compatible as found in the list of printers here.
    AirPrint Basics
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    Basically all you would need to do is connect the Printer to the Same Wifi network your iPad is connected to and off you go.

    Lion and Mountain Lion application compatibility - http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion -  https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store. 
    MacBook upgrade possibilities - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19577869 - "The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion."
    Why?  Good question.  I am a strong believer in not upgrading just because something new comes out, especially if you are running older equipment.  I would say unless you see a need for it, just stick with Snow Leopard until something comes along that absolutely requires Mountain Lion.

  • I'm going to install SSD in my Macbook pro, how do I install for example OSX Lion? I dont have any CD as far as I know.

    I'm going to install SSD in my Macbook pro, how do I install for example OSX Lion? I dont have any CD with OSX Lion as far as I know.

    Ideally, you should clone your HD as Bimmer 7 Series explains. 
    However, if your computer originally shipped with Lion or Mountain Lion, a clone is not necessary to merely reinstall OS X. OS X Internet Recovery will create a recovery partition, download the installer package, and install it on a completely empty SSD or HD.
    Even if your computer shipped with Snow Leopard, it may be eligible to download a firmware update that creates the same ability: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4904

  • How do you install a Digital ID Certificate for use on iPod Touch?

    On my iPod Touch there is a button to turn on s/mime under settings, mail/calender, accounts, advanced but it says there are no certificates installed.  So, if you had a certificate from a COA how would you install it on the iPod Touch?  I have heard of configuration profile utility for the iPhone but isn't that for companies or buisnesses to use?
    Thank you for any helpful information.

    Hi,
    One way is to email your cert to yourself; another is to use cloud-based storage (e.g., Dropbox) that allows you to reference files via URL. In either case, once the file is selected it will be recognized as a digital certificate and you will be asked if you want to install it.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do you delete printer software?

    how do you delete printer software?

    I don't believe you need more than 500Mb of free space if you perform the update through itunes. As all operations are done on the computer, and then the files are simply replaced with the newer versions.
    As to your other questions:

    You don't. As long as you don't install it it will be there. Once installation is complete, the system will delete it from the device.

    Once you press the "Download and Install" button, what happens next? Does it do the former first, the latter first, or both?
    Obviously it can't install if it hasn't Downloaded first. So if you still have the "Download and Install" option as opposed to the "Install Now" option it will first download and then install.

    If you try to download iOS 7 by syncing tyour device to iTunes, what happens if you press "Download only?" Will the software download AND install, or just download only?
    If you are using Itunes and choose to only Download, then it will simply download the update package and store it on your computer. When you are ready to install it you can then press the install button.

    How do I install Mac OS X Lion in my macbook?I already have it in appstore!

    First off, dont call me guy.  Now when you launch the app store, hold down the option key and click on purchased.  You should see a dark grey button next to Lion that says install.  Click install on the other mac.  Make sure you are signing in with the same apple id that you purchased Lion with.  That should do the trick.
