Printing problems with CS5 and Epson Photo R2880 printer

I'm having problems getting good prints when using Photoshop CS5 with my Epson Photo R2880 printer, problems I never had with CS4. Here's the situation:
If I take a PSD file and print it using CS4, everything works out perfectly. But if I take that same PSD file and print it out using CS5, the print is now offset top to bottom, as well as left to right, along with a 1/8" black strip being printed down the right edge of the paper. As far as I can tell, everything is set the same.
I've compared all the print information found in the Print dialog summary box between CS4 and CS5 and everything appears to be the same. I've verified that I'm using the latest print driver with my printer, and I am. It's 8.27. I've verified that I've checked off the box to center the print to the paper, each time I've made a print. And in trying to figure out what's going on, I've discovered that this problem occurs with any paper size when using CS5, but not with CS4.
I'm stumped and frustrated and without any more ideas as to what I should do next, except to always print my projects using CS4. If anyone has an idea for me, please let me know! Thanks!
P.s. I'm new at using this forum, and though I thought I sent this out once already, I never saw it posted. If I'm in error and it's already out there, sorry for the mistake and posting it twice.

>"Unfortunately then I'd have to say all bets are off. The only true test is to print with the standard materials that Epson has designed their printer for. Only if that works well should you be trying third-party materials. For example, third-party inks in general are of poorer quality, are inconsistent, clog more, and in the long run, do not save you anywhere the amount of money they advertise over the genuine Epson products."
Getting very nice results with an R1800, Inkjetfly CIS, and Red River paper. The R1800 has never had Epson ink run through it and has no abnormal clogging problems. In fact, clogs are rare.
Getting near perfect matches to the monitor with both Colorvision and x-rite calibrating/profiling equipment. The printer stays on 24-7 so the only ink used, other than printing, is a periodic nozzle check. I am not alone in this, so blanket statements like the above are specious at best.
And no, I don't sell prints for big bux, so whether they are going to last a hundred years is not a concern. Besides, until someone is around long enough to verify those claims, the jury is out. I've got color prints from the wet days that are fading after 20+ years. Third party inks are not necessarily lower quality than OEM. One of the reasons for the development of high quality third party inks was the dissatisfaction of B&W and fine art printers with the OEM products.
Of course the cheap refilled/knockoff carts being hawked on ebay and the like are a different story.

Prinitng issue with CS5 and Epson pro3800 printer

CS5 will not hold printer driver settings after leaving driver setup screen. Eg., after setting ICM and choosing Adobe RGB color space and icc profile from menu, when you click OK, Adobe screen reverts to Photoshop adjusts colors and not printer adjust colors as it should. If you change the setting manually, when you renetr driver setup, it now shows 'no color management and not ICM as it should. This does not occur with CS3 or 4. Any help is appreciated.

I don't have this problem but i can tell you printing out of CS5 is a mess nothing works the way it should....check out my forum i started... right now i just chucked cs5 and went back to cs3

Can't open print settings with CS5 and Epson R1900

In Photoshop CS5, go to File > Print. In the Print dialogue window, click on Print Settings... and no response. The blue Print button in the lower right corner flashes when I click, but nothing else happens.
I've tried running Photoshop in 32-bit mode as well. Doesn't behave differently.
Running on a Mac Pro 2.26 GHz (most current generation).
12 GB RAM
OS 10.6.4
Printer is connected to Airport Extreme USB (most current generation).
Can successfully print with CS4; seems to be a new issue with CS5.
Hope I've included enough info to troubleshoot this problem.
Thanks for any help!
Brian,.

I've been trying to trouble shoot this problem since the beginning of September. I wasn't sure if it was a snow leopard issue, a Driver issue, or a CS5 issue. I guess it's CS5. I recently discovered the work around of asking Photoshop to manage the colors, opening the print settings, saving, then returning to printer managing colors but this just doesn't cut it in our graphics lab. We need the settings to be as straight forward as possible for our students.
Also, unrelated sort of, Photoshop remembers the settings from the previous print job. Which again doesn't work well in a lab/public environment. So if jimmy printed 20 copies of a file and set it to print colors as gray; Susie, the next in line, would have the same print settings for her file. This seems to only happen with photoshop. Not Preview, not safari, nor any other program.
We're seriously considering moving back to CS4.
...at least that had contact sheets.

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
System: Windows 7
Adobe CS5
Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
Epson driver up to date
After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling: Printer manages color. Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create?
Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
I hope this may help...............

Photoshop CS5 and Epson 9900, Win 7, 64bits

Hi,
I recently upgraded from photoshop cs3 to cs5 and now all of my prints on epson 9900 large format printer come out too dark. The same pictures printed with cs3 look good but not on cs5. How can I fix it? Is there a patch for this issue on Adobe website? Just to clarify: same image printed on CS3 looks good but printed with CS5 looks too dark. It can't be the printer driver issue since there is one driver for both version of Photoshop (6.62, most recent).
I have Photoshop CS5 and Epson 9900, Windows 7, 64bits.
I have "Photoshop manages colors" selected and "no color management" for printer - I know the proper set up, I've been doing this for quite some time, so it's definitely not the settings issue or media profile issue. Well, the same settings are use with CS3 and CS5 but results are different, that's why I think it's photoshop's fault. If I can't print color managed prints than CS5 is useless to me.
Any ideas? I have seen post reg. this but no solution and they go back few years back. Has Adobe finally addressed the issue?
Please, help.

Hi Chris,
I have the latest patch 12.0.4 but it does not solve the problem. What kind of "user error" are you talking about? As I stated before: I use the same settings in both version of PS: photshop manages color, printer profile: my canvas media profile, BPC: on. In print settings: mode: custom (off, no color adjustment), media type: my canvas type. There is no room for "user error" here.
As for driver bugs: are you referring to Epson driver? I have the latest driver v6.62. What else can I do? Did i skip something?
Well, of course I'm using Windows (64bits), so I guess there is lots of room for error there, right , but I don't think it's OS since it prints fine in CS3 but not in CS5.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Lyall,
I have seen this before, a long time ago (several years), and I cannot
remember how/if we resolved it.
If this is an impotant issue to you, I suggest that you open a case with
BEA support.

This is a rather important issue, I have seen another post with a similar problem.
While not being a show-stopper it certainly raises concerns.
The application works ok until the application exits (in both development and

Apparently this did not happen with Tux 7.1
It does with 8, I do not have 7.1 so I have no workaround.

Scanning with iMac and C310a photosmart premium all in one

I am trying to Scan a document and It scans just fine but fails when I try to save, print or email the document. It works fine if I only scan one page, I can save, print or email the file. However when I try to do this with a document of more than one page, when I go to save/print/email I get the following error box: "ERROR: An error occurred when saving the file because it couldn to be written to. check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read only." If I hit OK at this point my software hangs up and the only solution is to "Force Quit" the software to get out of the loop.
Yes, I have checked all files and none are read only, and it works fine with single page scans.
I am using the HP Scan utility. When I try to scan using the controls on my printer it works fine but I can only scan single page documents.
I am running Imac with version 10.9.4 software. I have run all software update scans and no updates show. I have tried rebooting the mac and the printer, no change?
Any help is appreciated.
James

Hello James, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing print and scan issues. I would like to try and help.
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend readding the driver to your system, using this document on OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Running Adobe Photoshop CS5 and when I try and print using Epson wf 35-20 version 9.04, Photoshop quits. Have OS 10.9.3. Any advice sincerely appreciated....

Hi Chris thanks for emailing. I originally emailed Epson about this issue and they said it is something you should contact Adobe about!
When I hit print, the colour wheel turns and then the application quits.   then get the following:

Windows 7 Firewire Issues with CS5 and ADVC-700

I've got a Windows 7, 64 bit system with CS 5. In dubbing out for playback, I route a firewire cable from the PC to an Canopus/Grass Valley ADVC-700. Both units are less than a year old and are having issues with "black outs" during the dub out process. I've read different things about Windows 7 having issues with firewire drivers. After speaking to someone with Adobe, I've changed my firewire driver to Legacy. That hasn't helped.
The ADVC-700 has s-video out running to preview monitor and BNC out/XLR audio running to my playback system for ingest. When the video goes to black (usually for a 1/2 second), the audio drops out with it.
I've reset the settings on the ADVC-700 with no luck.
Any suggestions on a fix or something else to try?

I did test with a JVC GY-HD200U and there weren't any performance issues which led me back to the PC or other on the PC.
The system is running Windows 7, 64 bit with CS5 Production Premium following an upgrade from the CS4 version.
I've got 12 GB of Ram, (2) Intel Xeon Quad Core E5560 -2.8 GHZ processoCrs.
(1) 500GB SATA2 hard drive, 7200 RPM, 32 MC (System Drive)
(3) 1 TB SATA2 Hard drives, 7200 RPM, 32 MC (3 TB, RAID0 Storage Drive)
Nvidia GeForce 9800GT graphics Card
Supermicro X8DAi motherboard, Intel 5520 Chipset, 2-PCIe X16, 1 PCIe x4, 3-PCI, 10-USB2 ports, 2-pro/1000 NIC, 8-channel HD audio, 6 SATA ports, RAID 0/1/5/10
I've got the legacy drivers for the firewire card. I've checked to make sure all of the power save options are off along with all screen saver options. I've cleaned my Adobe Cache out, deleted my Adobe Preferences, went from the 4pin/6pin cable to a 6pin/6pin cable to feed the ADVC-700 from the PC, reset the ADVC 700 back to factory specs...all of this with no luck.
The problem seems to be worse since the move from CS4 to CS5 but it's hard to tell.
I've also hooked up an older ADVC-500 unit with the same output results.
I think I noted in the first post that this is happening on two indentical systems with the same cabling and programs and the same ADVC-700 boxes.
I've been told by Adobe to clean my C; drive and reload the OS and Adobe CS5 as I should have done that when I upgraded instead of just upgrading the system from CS4 to CS5 using the discs. I haven't done this yet as I have to budget time/workflow to accomodate.

Pressure problems with CS5 and Cintiq 12WX

So I have Photoshop CS5 and a Cintiq 12WX. I use 64bit and Win 7. When I'm drawing, at what seems to be random times, the pressure will turn off. It might work the next time I draw a line or after the 7th or 8th time.
I don't remember this ever happening with any other programs (including CS4) so I'm guessing it might well be CS5 to blame for this more than the Cintiq. Does anyone have any experience with this? Could it be something clashing causing the sensitivity to turn off?
Thanks for your time.

There is a known issue with the very latest Wacom driver for the tablet.
Most people find that visiting the Wacom site and downgrading to a slightly older driver alleviates the problem you're reporting.
At the moment, owing to search problems I'm unable to find the specific thread here that identifies the version you need. I think it was something like 6.1.5.

Problems with CS5 and font check Function

There is a function that I have been using that works from cs to cs4 now with cs5 it does not error it just doesn't find all the missing fonts. If anyone is willing to take a crack at this it would be very helpful. Here is the function:
function myCheckFont(currFile){
    numMissingFonts=0;
    docFonts=app.activeDocument.fonts.everyItem().name;
    appFonts=app.fonts.everyItem().name.join('');
    var numFont = myDocument.fonts.length;
    myFile.write("MISSING FONTS: ");
    for (var loopvar=0; loopvar<docFonts.length; loopvar++){
            if (appFonts.match(RegExp(docFonts[loopvar]))==null){
                if (myDocument.fonts.item(loopvar).status=="1718832705"){
                    if (numMissingFonts==0){
                        myFile.write(docFonts[loopvar]);
                        numMissingFonts=numMissingFonts+1;
                    else{
                        myFile.write(", "+docFonts[loopvar]);
                        numMissingFonts=numMissingFonts+1;
    if (numMissingFonts==0)
        myFile.write("none");
    myFile.writeln("");
    return [numMissingFonts];

Hi
I run this script to same documents both CS4 and CS5,
and insert the snippet to check status.
$.writeln(app.activeDocument.fonts.item(loopvar).status);
font status return differnt value!

Another problem printing with Aperture and Epson 2400.

Hi -
I posted this on photo.net a while ago and nobody could seem to figure this out. I've searched through here with no help either. Here is the original photo.net post presenting my problem:
I've been having a problem with my print workflow that started about 6 months ago but has only now gotten to the point that I really need to fix it.
My equipment: Epson R2400 with stock inks, Aperture (latest version), iMac 2.33Ghz fully loaded and updated. I typically print on Epson Premium Luster or Enhanced Matte (I change K cartridge accordingly).
Once upon a time, I had this workflow working perfectly. Prints were coming out exactly as I wanted them to, really better than expected. Then something changed, but it wasn't hardware. Somewhere along the line, I'm guessing in a software update, all my profiles changed. I typically do all my adjustments in Aperture, then in the print dialogs do the following:
+In the 2400 settings, I turn color management off, and in the Print Settings, I select my paper, switch to Advanced, and typically choose Best Photo or whatever quality I'm needing.+
+Then in the Aperture print settings I choose the ColorSync profile that matches the paper and quality I selected in the above Print Settings window, keep Black Point Compression checked, and I'm off. As I said - this has worked flawlessly up until recently.+
The one thing I noticed that has changed is the available profiles in Aperture's ColorSync Profile pulldown menu. It used to only show paper profiles specific to each paper and quality, ie. "SPR2400 PremLuster BstPhoto.icc". Now, it shows not only those specific profiles, but also more generic paper profiles, such as "SPR2400 PremiumLuster", with no quality specification.
The problem is this: When I now select the paper/quality-specific profile, as I used to do, the prints come out all washed-out and flat. It even shows this in the preview window. It's slightly better when I select these new generic paper profiles, but still not like what I had. This is true with both types of paper I use.
I've attempted all the usual fixes, such as trashing all my profiles and re-loading new ones from Epson, re-installing Aperture and Epson software, and trashing prefs. Heck, I've reloaded all software that even remotely related to photography so many times, I can't even count any more. Nothing - just washed-out, dead-looking prints every time. And it all changed when I noticed those new generic profiles mentioned above.
I did make one hardware change after I first started experiencing these problems. I went from a PPC Dual 2.8Ghz G5 to the iMac, but as I said, these problems first occurred on the G5 and continued with the new iMac.
Any thoughts?

Well, you could dump Aperture only to find that a 2.0 came along with OS 10.5 and fixed your problem, who knows.
And I wouldn't call 6 months of not being able to print anything at all from Aperture jumping to conclusions. When I press Apple P in any other application I get prints that even unprofiled will come out better than Aperture. It's serious. Not just sorta bad. The ocean looks like sewage water- not just mildly unappealing- sewage.
The solution for us, I suppose, is to buy calibrator hardware. I guess anyone who is professional should have one of these (and I do not) but I didn't buy Aperture to export for printing.
As far as how to get Apple to acnowledge this... I don't know. It seems as though they are tired of hearing me talk about this. This is the first post of recent about this that hasn't been deleted by an admin. Who knows? I'm just tired of having to buy all the hardware and all the software that is all supposed to work together and then once you pay, you find that you're up the creek for prints.
Don't get me started, or I'll start talking about how they don't support my camera make yet (or ever).... (Sigma). As you can imagine, I'm already IMPORTING 16 bit tiffs from my raw converter. I guess I need 3 copies of the same shot to do business in Aperture for now. I need some mylanta.
Otherwise, love ya Apple!
P.S. If you are looking for someone with the same hardware and problem as I, it's easy. Check out the print proofing podcast page on O'reilly "Inside Aperture". There's one there in the comments part (that I replied to). Others can be found on this forum.

Non-sequential scanning with SCXI and Labwindows/CVI

I'm trying to scan channels 0 and 2 (skipping channel 1) of a SCXI-1520 module with a SCXI-1000 chassis using LabWindows/CVI, but am getting error 10370 (Invalid Scan list).
I've read here that the SCXI-1520 module supports non-sequential scanning, even with traditional NI-DAQ drivers, but I can't get this working.
I'm using NI-DAQ 6.9.3 and LabWindows/CVI 6.0.
I'm not using a channel string, but intead am using SCXI_Track_Hold_Setup and SCXI_SCAN_Setup.
For the scan setup my arrays are:
Module_List={1,1}
#_of_Channels_List={1,1}
Start_Channel_List={0,2}
I've tried setting the Hol
d_Count for the module to both 1 and 2 in SCXI_Track_Hold_Setup, but that doesn't help.
Is this possible, and if so, how?

OK, in essence, my code is:
SCXI_Reset(chassis,-1);
SCXI_Load_Config(chassis);
hold_count=2; // Note: Tried 1 but that doesn't work either.
SCXI_Track_Hold_Setup(chassis,slot,2,2,0,hold_count,device);
// Note: tried 2,0,2 but doesn't work either, and then can't scan multiple modules.
SCXI_Set_Gain(chassis,slot,-1,1);
SCXI_Set_Excitation(chassis,slot,-1,VDC,5.0,&actual);
SCXI_Configure_Filter(chassis,slot,0,BYPASS,0);
SCXI_Configure_Filter(chassis,slot,2,BYPASS,0);
SCXI_Configure_Connection(chassis,slot,-1,QUARTER);
num_modules=2;
Module_List={1,1};
Channels_List={1,1};
Start_List={0,2}
SCXI_Scan_Setup(chassis,num_modules,Module_List,Channels_List,Start_List,device,0);
// This causes error -10370:badScanListError
Any help greatly appre

Problem with Lightroom and Epson Printer

I'm suddenly having problems printing from Lightroom. I have Lightroom 1.4.1 installed on an iMac G5, and have an Epson Photo Stylus R2400. I've been using this combination from the beginning with no problems. Now suddenly when I try to print I get an error message that says Media is out or not loaded correctly. Neither is the case. I have tried restarting my computer, the printer and everything else I can think of, but nothing works. I can print from any other application without problems, so I'm assuming it's an issue with Lightroom.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? I was going to uninstall lightroom and do a reinstall but I can't find my installation disc. Now I'm at a loss to figure out what to do.
Thanks,
Craig

Try deleting you prefs file and/or print templates.
Lightroom is unique to many other programs in that it saves and restores printer settings. Some bad data may tried to be passes. A "fresh start" might help.
