IPhoto & epson 4800 printer

When i print FULL PAGE 8.5 x 11 prints i can't get equal top/bottom margins (in other words the print doesn't center onto the paper. In page set-up I've tried creating a custom size with 1.43cm top/bottom margins. once i get back into iphoto to print it loses the settings. Any advice? Thx.

Here are a few things to try:
1. Run Software Update as there were a number of new Epson drivers added on 12/15. This should update your driver to the latest version. See if the problem continues.
2. If it still does have the issue, remove and re-add the queue.
3. If the issue still occurs, reset the printing system by:
a. Control-click or right-click a print queue in the "Printers" pane.
b. Choose "Reset printing system..." from the contextual menu.
c. Click "OK" in the "Are you sure..." confirmation sheet.
You can follow the troubleshooting steps in these Apple articles:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669?viewlocale=en_US
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3771
If all of this doesn't work, you can see if the issue is with the user account or system wide by creating a new OSX user account and see if that user has the same issue.
Let me know if any of these steps worked for you.

Epson 4800 Ethernet IPP Network Cant Add PRINTER SETUP UTILITY

Greetings!
Any known issues?
Does anyone have this working??
I am having a time TRYING to ADD a new Epson 4800 printer, Epson Ethernet card onto new Mactel laptop and new quad G5 (both 10.4.7).
Epson NetConfig Utility sees the printer and set an IPP address.
However, Apple PRINTER SETUP UTILITY Add IP printer isn't working.
I had qualified Epson support taking me through the steps...he said some issues with the Intel books, but that doesn't explain why the G5 isn't working.
Three hours yesterday and I'm back on it later today...any tips/info appreciated.

Hi all,
I recently bought an Epson Stylus DX4850 and I'll be damed if I get the thing installed on my Intel based Mac! This is driving me mad, I've been told that it is compatable. I've downloaded all the drivers from the Epson website but when I go to add the printer it's not listed. Does this mean that I need to use a different driver or gimp driver?
Any help would be greatly appreciated and would prevent me from going insane!
Many thanks, Jon

Epson 4800 USB connection unrecognised

Epson 4800 print perfectly on direct USB connection to MacBook Pro with the 9.17 Epson driver, but when connected to USB port on the Time Capsule, there is red sign and notice that the printer is unconnected. Both the port of the Time Capsule and the cabel are OK. Time Capsule is correctly recognised on the local WiFi and set with correct password. USB port is working for other printers correctly. Just the 4800 is not recognised. I tried everything (deleting the printer and reseting all printers too)...
Any help would be much appreciated.
Mike

hi I have been plagued by this recurring problem for ages finaly seem to have solved it by going to print when drop down page to print comes up click on box a top of page showing your printer from the drop down list go selsct add printer Another pop up box will highlight your printer and select IP at the top of the page. Then in protocol select Internet Printing Protocol - IPP which is the correct one for all modern printers. This resolved the problem for me after months of trying Richie

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.

Printing Problem from LR5.3 to Epson 4800

When trying to print to 13 x 19 paper on either of 2 Epson 4800 printeres, the margins and cell size set are ignored and the printers produce a roughly 8 x 10 image in the corner of the 13 x 19 paper. I've tried from 3 different iMacs and 2 different printers (this is a school lab). Paper setting is Super B/A3, though I've also made a custom 13 x 19 paper size and that produces the same error. If I print to 8.5 x 11 paper (with appropriate settings), it works fine. It's only to the 13 x 19 paper that the problem occurs. Everything looks good in the print preview window. Has anyone had this problem or have an idea for a solution?

Fauxto,
I am having the exact same problem with 13 x 19 paper on my R2880, working in lightroom 5, iMac Osx 10.8.5. I did not have this problem before I upgraded to LR5 and Osx 10.8.5. I am still searching for a solution. The problem is erratic. I got lucky and printed a 12 x 16 on 13 x 19 paper yesterday, but after printing some 8 x 10s the 13 x 19 problem returned. I suspect that LR5 and Osx are not playing nicely. This is unacceptable in terms of inability to deliver the finished product to my customer and a very expensive waste of paper and ink.
There must be someone out there having the same problem. I would think Adobe is aware of this issue. Someone PLEASE HELP !!!

Printing incorrectly to Epson 4800 and 9900

I've recently started having printing problems printing to my Epson 4800 and 9900.
On the 4800 every time I print, the 1st print comes out dark. Then if I print again with the same settings it comes out fine every time. I've been putting in a sheet of regular paper to "fix" the problem for now, but would like to fix it properly.
On the 9900 I have the same problem only it's not dark but the wrong color. This is only happening on one computer (mine) on others it seems to be printing fine. In fact we started using an old mac here because it prints correctly every time.
It's not a profiling issue or setting issue. Been doing this for a long time----1st I've seen this.
I've run disk warrior and have replaced the print driver, but problem is still there.
Mac/Power PC G5/Non-Intel/10.4.11
Any help is appreciated!
Jim

That's a great idea. I tried that and the 1st. print turned out dark again. The next was correct. I've been quitting photoshop and restarting and it seems to print fine now. I've logged into my original acct. and is printing fine. Unfortunately, having intermittent problems are worse than it not working at all. If I have a client come in and I print it I wont know if the subtle color changes are there file or my weird printing problem. I'll post back if/when it returns. I assume it will start again on Mon. You know, just because it's Monday.
Thanks for your help!

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.

Problems printing out of PS CS5 with Epson 4800 using latest epson driver

This is my first post here at the forum.
Has anybody experienced the following:
While printing out of Photoshop CS5 12.0.1 with an epson 4800, using the latest driver (6.65), the following happens:
Around the document, the printable space is filled with a very light colour.
(If I print an emty canvas, the canvas will not be printed - as expected - but around, the paper shows ink.)
I already talked to Epson about the issue.
We went through the whole printer reset, to make shure it´s not a driver issue)
The picture shown is printed several (5-6) times to better see the problem.
I did not select to print a background in the print dialogue.
Does not matter if PS 32bit or 64 bit is used.
OS is Snow Leopard 10.6.4
(Rosetta is installed, but should not be needed)
So, has anybody had similar problems?
Is there a solution?

Look at this new driver update.. Will test as soon as my new cartridges arrive..

Trying to add our Epson 4800 after updating 10.8.3. our iMac is shutting down and so is our Mac Book Pro.

Trying to add our Epson 4800 after update 10.8.3 our iMac is shutting down and so is our Mac Book Pro. Any advise??

Thank you Linc. We just half solved our problem. The update 10.8.3 has a bug for using our printer with a special kodak proback firewire cable by don't giving a support. So we skipped the old way by downloading a new driver,
using an USB cable and adding our printer again and it works. The reactions of collegues and those on the Apple site showed us that the update 10.8.3 is having a major problem.

Epson R2400 prints from Apterture and CS2 are VERY close.

Using the same NEF file that Frank donated, I printed an untouched(cropping only) print from Aperture to my Epson R2400 on premium lustre paper.
I took the white balance temp(4906 K) and tint(-14) from the HUD and applied these into Bridge(temp/tint for the same NEF), with default values for everything else default(exposure:0, shadows:5, brightness:40, contrast:+25, saturation:0, sharpening:25), and color space sRGBIEC61955-1, then opened it in CS2 and printed it.
NOTE: I am using PowerRIP-X V7.2 from iProof Systems for my print driver, it is installed like a printer and shows up as a printer on the selection list. IMHO, the $200 I spent on the R2400 RIP was money well spent. Between the RIP and the calibrated monitor, my color matching from screen to print is dead on, regardless of the paper type.. no more wasted prints and frustration. They also sell a RIP for the Epson 4800.
The prints from both are very, very, close. I have been shooting digital since 1997 and therefore do not own a scanner, so this is my visual review. Although I might shoot em tomorrow with my D2X on a tripod while lighting with a 47" Octabox... we'll see.
The CS2 print has a very slight bit more saturation of the skin tones(reddish) than Aperture. The shirt in the Aperture print is a very slight bit darker than the CS2 print.
If you look very closely and angle the light just right you can see a slight bit of the earlier mentioned blocking in the shadow on the subjects left shoulder.
I suspect the slight darkening of the shirt color may be due to the same reason for the aforementioned blocking in the shadow areas.
There is no appreciable difference in print quality.
I calibrate my 20" Cinema Display with a Spyder2PRO device and these slight differences are seen on screen as well, therefore on hardware calibrated displays the following screen capture should represent the differences..(I have no idea what this will look like on a windoze monitor!)
To see this full res in Safari, right click and select 'Open Image in New Window'

There seems to be two issues here. For output, using
the same output profile, Aperture and Photoshop
should be pretty close however, keep in mind that
unless you set Photoshop to use the Apple CMM (not
ACE) there could be a tiny bit of difference.
Hmmm.
I'm trying to remember what Bruce Fraser said about CMM choice the last time I attended on of his lectures. If I have it correctly he had reservations about all of them but the Adobe CMM was the best of the lot.
This was over a year ago so conditions may have changed and my memory may be faulty....
But I imagine that their might be negative consequences to using two different CMMs to process your data. Photoshop allows you a choice of CMM's, which is consistent with an application "designed from the ground up for professional photographers."
Aperture limits many choices, both basic and esoteric.

Epson 9880 printer drivers not displaying

Hi. I'm using LR4 current version on a Lion machine (also current version) - IMAC 27" (also current version) with an Epson 9880 printer. Currently trying this with the Lion driver and version 6.1.2 Epson profiles. I've also tried this with the most recent Snow Leopard driver with the same results. The profiles are not showing up in the "other" dialog within LR4. They do show up in printer setup. I also have a 4800 here and that is working fine. I notice that the Color Sync utility is not displaying them. I've tried downloading and reinstalling, restarting, etc. - no change. I don't recall this being a problem with LR3.
I have been using the Snow Leopard profiles because of the problems associated with the shaded color/BW print dialog in the Lion printer dialogs, for what that's worth, and I thought everything was fine but now, this problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks
Chris Hutcheson

I discovered the solution to the problem in the Photoshop forum, here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/4477066 - same results in Lightroom - problem solved. I'm wondering, though, whether there is any advantage going to the Epson Lion printer driver as opposed to the Snow Leopard one. It seems the Snow Leopard one has more functionality as far as selection of accucolour vs. B& W, but then again, wouldn't it make as much sense to simply print my black and white documents managed by Lightroom, without paying attention the print dialog settings (in Lion, that is, where I can't do anything unless I let the printer manage colours)? Particularly since I use non Epson paper a lot of the time?
Thanks for any advice...
Cheers
Chris

Error -9672 when adding an Epson 4800 via Airport Express & Bonjour

I cannot add my Epson 4800 via Printer Setup Utility connected via USB through an Airport Extreme. Windows PC's via Bonjour have no problem but my Mac is just not connecting. It correctly sees it via the add printer dialog and even recognizes it as a 4800 but when I go to add it I get the Error -9672.
Any ideas?

What is the printer make & model that you are connecting to the USB port of the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)?
You may want to double-check this iFelix site to see if it's compatible with the AEBSn.

Ihave an ipad and an epson nx430 printer. I tried to print my airline itinerary and it printer 4 pages that was mostly ads. How can i print just the itinerary which fits on oneage?

I have an ipad2 and an epson nx430 printer. I tried to print my airline itinerary and it printer 4 pages ,most ofwhich were ads. How can i focus just on the information that i need?

Does the website you're using offer a "printer freindly" button or perhaps the faciltiy to email the intenerary to yourself?

How do I connect my Airport Extreme 802.11n to Epson 645 Printer?

I can't figure out how to connect my Airport Extreme 802.11n to my Epson 645 Printer. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

You may want to try reinstalling Mavericks. Airport Utility installed by Mavericks may no longer connect to your older AEBS (though I've not heard that.) Installing the Old AirPort Utility (Version 5.6) on Mountain Lion | frank.is.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
     Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
     Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select ReinstallLion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from
     the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
     Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
                three times faster than wireless.
