IMac G4 compatibility with Epson Pro 3800

recently put downpayment on Epson Pro 3800 printer, all advertising said it will work with os 10.4.x, but on further buried research, they "recommended" a G5, or intell etc.
will this Epson work on my iMac G4

I don't have an E P 3800, but I see system requirements: Mac or PC on the web page. I have never seen a printer from a major manufacturer not work on a G4 if it works with any PPC.

Strange colors when printing (lightroom & epson pro 3800)

After buying a new computer I'm having printing problems in lightroom.
Printing with other software (photoshop for example) works flawless.
I've used new and old drivers for my printer: didn't change a thing
I've looked at different printing profiles, custom or letting the printer handle it: hardly any improvement
The problems appairs with lightroom 2.4 64bit installed on a windows vista 64bit version.
The printer I'm using is a epson pro 3800. Normally i would say it's a driver problem.. (on my old computer (xp 32bit) it's works fine) but the problem only appairs in lightroom. And i used a few drivers. I must be missing a setting or something.
Does anybody have an idea?
You can look at the attachment to see the problem i'm having.
Thanks in advance

I am also suffering with the light room print module.
My Eizo monitor is calibrated with a Gretag Macbeth i1Pro.
My printer profiles are paper and ink specific.
In CS3 my working color space is Adobe RGB(1998) and my prints are a perfect match to the monitor appearance on both an Epson Photo 2200 as well as an HP Pro B9180.
I understand that there is no soft proofing option in LR 2, but is there any work around to change the working color space in LR to Adobe RGB(1998) and get a decent print without kicking the image over to CS3 first? Since both products are from Adobe, I don't understand why they should be working at cross purposes.
I went to Photo Expo in NYC today, but unfortunately Adobe did not take their usual booth at the Javits Center so that I might address the question to an Adobe specialist.
Thanks

Epson Pro 3800

I know this is probably an Epson issue, not an Apple one, but two great companies really do need to work together, and this site offers the best support. So, is there anyone out there who is as frustrated as I am trying to print on an Epson Pro 3800 using Leopard on a Mac Pro? The printer driver works just fine on a MacBook Pro operating on Tiger, but the Leopard driver that Epson has provided just isn't up to the job. I'm looking at either turfing the printer, or downgrading the Mac Pro to Tiger, and neither option appeals to me. Any other options, anyone?

Hello,
Can you confirm what is the Epson driver version that you use?
Version 3.x is originaly designed for 10.4.
For 10.5 (and also 10.4), it is better to use a version 6.x.
You can download this version from European web sites:

Let us know if it works bettre with this driver release.

Installing most recent print driver for Epson Pro 3800

I like to make sure that I use the most recent print driver for my Epson Pro 3800.
So I downloaded the driver "epson 328233 eu.dmg" and it shows up in "Finder downloads"
* I assume that this driver is the most recent one?
I have no idea how to continue to replace the existing driver and how to install the latest driver?
* Do I have to remove the present driver? If so: how do I find the old driver and how do I remove this driver?
* Thereafter in what way do I install the new driver?
I am far from a software specialist and I recently switched from PC to iMac which is still troubling me!
Thank you for helping me!
Harry

Dear Sig,
Thank you for your answer which solved my problem.
I had the imprerssion that in Mac some downloads are installed automatically and some are not?
But this might be a wrong observation and is installing always necessary?

Is this the most recent driver?
If not in what way can I locate the latest driver?

Epson Pro 3800 driver now installs on Leopard ...

FYI I just re-download the 3800 driver from Epson and installed it. The printer now finds the driver fine and printing to 3800 works as before.

I have the same problem with my Epson Stylus Pro 3800 and Leopard. - basic printing but no real functionality. Not what I would expect for a printer in this price range. From what I can gather, Epson has no intention of upgrading the driver for this particular printer. Check out their website, and read the fine print. http://www.epson.ca/cgi-bin/ceStore/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid =79928&prodoid=60075552&infoType=Downloads&platform=Macintosh
The only option I can find is to revert to Tiger, which the Epson driver supports fully. If you find some other solution, please let us know.
Andy.

Compatibility with filemaker pro 11.x

hello !
Please: compatibility Mavericks with filemaker pro 11.x ?
I work fine on my Macbook pro 10.8.5 with filemaker pro 11.0.4.
Thanks.

Filemaker says no for 11: http://help.filemaker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12643
and
Filemaker says yes for 12 if it is updated to 12.0.5: http://help.filemaker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/11930
I haven't had a chance to try out 11 on Mavericks yet to see how well if work or if at all. On the web some say it did work after they deactivated a plug-in or two. Hopefully more of us will be trying it out and let the whole community know how FMP 11 performs.

Audio/MIDI Interface Compatibility with Logic Pro 7.2

Hello,
Is/are there a recommended audio/midi interface(s) that will work without audio/midi timing glitches with Logic Pro 7.2? Currently, I am using Pro Tools LE v7.1, along with the DIGI002 Rack. That combination works very well, with no glitches whatsover. The possibility of using Logic Pro 7.2 raises the question of what would be a compatible interface. I don't think the DIGI002 Rack has the necessary drivers, although I may be mistaken. However, there must be an interface that works well with Logic Pro 7.2.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you,

Hello,
I went to the Metric Halo Web site and was not able to find the interface that you may have been referring to. It looks like the Mobile I/O may be the correct one, however, that interface is much more than I would want to spend (http://www.mhlabs.com/metric_halo/products/mio/)
The price seems to be @ $1200. Anyway, I am somewhat confused regarding the Metric Halo.
Any additional advice/help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

What logic boards are compatable with macbook pro mid 2010

i'm just curious about what logic boards are compatable with my macbook pro mid 2010? didn't know if i needed to stay within the same year or if there are others that would work with mid 2010 layout inside the casing. right now i have 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB and really looking to upgrade this if i can find one online from a mac with a broken screen or some defect with the logic board intact.

Rather than the Samsung EVO, I would get a Crucial M500 series - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crucial-960GB-Solid-State-Drive/dp/B00BQ8RGL6/ref=pd_sim _computers_5 - they just seem to 'play well' with Macs where some people have reported problems with Macs and the EVO series.
Good luck,
Clinton

Hello Chuck,
Yes, you can install Reader XI with Acrobat Pro 9.5.5; it should not create any incompatibility issue.

LR 1.3 using Epson Pro 3800 anyone?

I haven't tried printing yet, but the current driver from Epson for the 3800 doesn't indicate the paper profile specified in LR when printing. This may be an Epson driver issue with Leopard. Anyone?

kevinzdyb,
You've chosen a fantastic printer. I love mine; however, it's a little 'high strung' and you have to use it precisely.
First of all, make sure you have an updated driver if you're on a mac with Leopard. Driver from the Epson UK web site version 6.10.
Use paper profiles from PS and LR when printing.
Select 2800 DPI when printing color and 1400 DPI for B&W.
Turn off finest detail and high speed and chose No Color Adjustments
For B&W - check out this web site!!:
http://people.csail.mit.edu/ericchan/dp/Epson3800/index.html
Choose his B&W profile in the software, but choose Advanced Black & White in the 3800 driver. This will result in the 3800 using ONLY black inks and the profile will cause the print to match what you see on the screen, assuming you've profiled your monitor.
Also, only use the front tray for very thick paper - I never use it
Make sure the paper is really flat, to avoid head strikes, and manually set the thickness in the driver, when using non-Epson papers. I use the rear manual feed for fine art paper.
My favorite for color is Hahnemule Fine Art Pearl.
Good luck.

Imac Graphics cards with Premiere Pro cs6

Hello
I just changed over to Premiere Pro cs6 from avid and fcp 7/x. I am already sure i made the right decision. I love the interface, i really love it! and cant wait to get stuck into it properly.
I just bought a brand new, all singing all dancing 27 inch imac full spec 32gb RAM with a NIVIDA Geforce GTX 680MX 2048mb card. However pro cs6 by default is using the “Mecuary playback engine sofware only” instead of the “Mecuary playback engine Acceleration [CUDA] and i cant change it. Does it cs6 not support this card and if so will it in the future?
Any help would be greatly apericated!
Kind regards
Philip

Hi Paul
You mention last week that you had the same problem as me with your new iMac and graphics card with cs6.
I was just onto Adobe and they told me that they could not assist.
Can you tell me who you death with?
I am really keen to get this card running!

Family Tree Maker compatibility with MacBook Pro upgrades

Blessings to those who are able to reply with possible answers. I am sorry....but I have spent days working on getting my two USB ports to work also. I basically use the USB ports for a wireless mouse and various flashdrives/memory sticks. I have a MacBook Pro 2011 Snow Leopard 10.6.8 I have tried software update, SMC and PRAM resets, battery reset, hardware test, creating a new user account....and browsing and reading numerous discussion boards.....awgh! I have stopped short of using my install DVD (fear of loosing data), upgrading to Lion or Mountain Lion (some fear of loosing an application that might not be compatible FAMILY TREE MAKER 2010 19.2.1.241), contacting an Apple Store (AppleCare or whatever--live 2 hours away + fear of expense), and of course, trashing the laptop. Does anyone out there have any possible solutions? I see I am not alone. --A frustrated first-time Apple products owner.

Quote below from the Family Tree site:
System Requirements:
Mac OS X 10.5 or later, including OS X Lion (10.7)
Intel-based Mac
DVD Drive
All online features require Internet access.
Since Mountain Lion has not been released, there is no mention of compatibility.

Pcie card compatability with mac pro

I started getting regular Kernel Panics after installing a PCIe card (in slot 3) to connect my 750gb seagate pro drive to my mac pro via eSATA (the specs for the PCIe card are below).
http://www.avlab.com.tw/sata/10060109000bx.htm
I have uninstalled the drivers and my mac has stopped crashing. My problem is that since the silgate 3132 driver is (im told) pretty much universal for running this kind of pcie card, how can I be sure that if I purchase another card it won't start causing kernel panics again?
Any help much appreciated,
Henry

I know im being stupid (sorry) but what do you mean by using up all four of the drive slots in the mp?
I inserted a pcie card in pcie slot 3 because there are no external esata ports on my macpro and i needed one to connect an esata drive.
with regards to the pcie card itself i've pretty much given up on making it work as from looking at their site whilst they claim mac compatability it seems to have been something of an afterthought.
my problem is that im worried any pcie esata card i buy will conflict with my mac because i've been told that they mostly use the same generic si3132 drivers which caused the kernel panic.

Audition CC - Compatibility with Mac Pro 2012 (Quad-Core) & RME UFX

I am new here and wanting to use Audition again after being away for years, so I apologize if this is a dumb question. In previewing a training video about Audition CC it highlighted that Audition CC is now 64 bit. Before I download CC I want to be sure that the 64 bit part does not present a problem for me on my system. I do not know if my hardware is 32 or 64 bit. My question is - Will I have any compatibility issues with my hardware: Mac Pro 2012 Quad-Core & RME UFX interface and the Audition CC software? Thanks for any light you can shed on this for me.

It's not the hardware you want to worry about (that will be 64-bit capable, as all Macs are) but the software. If it's a recent Mac I don't think you'll have any problems at all, though - do they actually do a 32-bit release?
The best thing to do if you're worried about this is to download the trial version and see if that's okay.
