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?

Can't install printer driver for Epson Workforce 845 on Lion

I can't seem install the printer driver for the Epson Workforce 845 on my MacBookPro running OS 7.2.
I installed the software from Epson but the printer installer can't find it.

I just finished installing an Epson Workforce 545 on Lion. This info is valid as of early March 2012. The trick seems to be this: DON'T install using the CD that comes with the printer. DON'T download the driver from Epson.
First do an Apple Software Update to make sure the machine is up-to-date. Then simply open the Printer & Scan preferences and add the Epson printer. It will download the driver directly from Apple and you will be good to go. If you do install the bad drivers from Epson, you have to remove the /Library/Printers/EPSON folder and also anything EPSON in the Cache folder, then start over.

Why doesn't my macbook recognize printer driver for Epson T13X? I am using Mountain Lion 10.8.2

I just downloaded the driver for Epson T13x from Epson's website and after downloading the 22mb file and trying to install it, I get the error "dmg not recognized" or something like that.
OS X 10.8.2
Thanks in advance!

It's a corrupt download. Try downloading it again.

Printer Driver for Epson Stylus R800 Printer Included with OS X 5 Leopard

How many faulty drivers may there be included with OS X 5 Leopard?
After installing OS X 5 Leopard I found that when using my Epson Stylus PHOTO R800 printer photograph prints and ordinary lettering were extremely feint and unusable.
From the list of printers installed with OS X 5, as given in Apple "K"base Documents, I checked the version number of the driver for the Stylus Photo R800 and it was given as "SPR800 3.09 app"
I next checked the latest driver specified by Epson on their website---it too was given as
"SPR800 3.09 app".
Despite this information I downloaded the "SPR800 3.09 app" from Epson and installed it and the problem was solved.
I am writing this to inform others that despite the driver included with OS X 5 being specified as
"SPR800 3.09 3.09" it certainly is not!!!
The only answer is to use the latest version provided on the Epson website.

Dear scb
Many thanks for taking the time to reply to my post, you are so right in your remarks.
Although I've been on Macs for around 25 years I hadn't come across something as blatant as this before---maybe I've been lucky!
Your comment regarding the avoidance of software included with the product is very relevant particularly at the present time, so soon after the release of OS X 5 Leopard. There must be thousands of printers and the like which are being sold right now with software applicable to OS X 4 Tiger included with them.

Snow Leopard Updated Epson Printer Driver for Epson R800 - poor colour !

I just installed through software update the latest epson printer drivers and, then, deleted the Epson R800 from my printer list and added it back in (with the new printer driver). I did find a slightly different printer dialog box and found the setting of "presets" worked now (it did not previously).
However, when I printed out of Adobe Lightroom 2.6, using a custom paper profile and no colour management, that the print was faded, the colours were washed out. The result was unacceptable. After a few attempts, I looked in the Library folder, printers, epson and found two folders labeled, "inkjet printer" and "inkjet printer2". I determined that "inkjetprinter2" was the new folder and deleted it and deleted/added in my Epson r800 (using "inkjetprinter" folder. The resulting print was perfect.
So, my conclusion is that the new driver is not functioning as it should and I would warn users to be prepared for problems. Am I missing something here? Could I have done the updating of the printer driver and printer differently?

You may need to recalibrate you monitor color settings.
One of the things that changed from 10.5 to 10.6 was gamma; if you are using calibration from 10.5 or earlier, the gamma change will throw off print colors.
Personally, on my last 2 epson printers (R300, RX685), I've configured to let the printer color manage, and used the Vivid setting.
Have not had any off colors, etc.

Printer driver for Epson printer not found

I have an Epson Stylus Color 860 printer. Epson apparently does not support this printer anymore, at least with Lion. I downloaded a driver from Gutenprint that seemed to do the trick. The only "problem" is that I get this message in the Printer Utility whenever I print.
Is there anything I can do about this? Or should I just leave well enough alone? Like I said. The printer seems to print just fine from both OS X 10.7.1 and 10.6.8.

It sounds like you may have a preference file left over from the Epson Stylus Color 860 printer.
1) Have you followed the directory path, /Library/Printers/Epson/CIOSupport, to see if the plug-in exists.
2) Check for a preference file named for the printer in /Library/Preferences
3) Check for a preference file named for the printer in ~/Library/Preferences
4) Check for an Epson print driver named for the printer in ~/Library/Printers
If you find items in those locations from Epson for the Stylus Color 860 printer, move them to the Trash or a folder on the Desktop. See if the message goes away.
Be careful not to Trash any files related to the Gutenprint driver.

CD printer driver for Epson Stylus Photo R265

Just bought an Intel iMac 20" together with a Epson Stylus photo R265. It should print CD's and DVD's but, every time I try to print these, it tells me that the CD printer driver has not been installed.
After reinstalling the drivers from the cd which came together with the printer it still didn't print CD's. Also installing the drivers from the Epson website didn't do the job.
After discussing this problem with people from the Epson helpdesk, they answered that the CD printing feature only works on powermacs and that Rosetta should do the trick on Intel based Macs. Knowing that Rosetta operates automatically in OS 10.4.8, this answer was unsatisfying.
I now consider to buy a Canon printer but I am not sure if these printers (cd printer drivers) have the same problem with Intel based Macs.
Does anyone know a proper solution?

Cannot install the XP Modem driver for Satellite Pro A200

I'm a local network admin for Newbold College. We have new A200 laptops and we need XP Pro on some of them. I have tried to install the modem driver as one of the last drivers downloaded from the european support site. I also tried to Canadian site as well.
The driver install program doesn't seem to do anything. I tried to manually install the driver from one of Windows modem Agse/Toshiba software modem, but I have com port issues and I can't quire the modem.
Can anyone help me please!!!!!!!

Hi
What to say; I have checked the Toshiba Europe driver page and found all necessary and important XP drivers for the Satellite Pro A200.
Please note that the Toshiba European driver page provides XP drivers for 3 different Sat Pro A200 series!!! There is PSAE1, PSAE4 and PSAE7 series.
Please choose the right one!!!!
Furthermore you will find an installation instruction txt file on the Tosh page.
In this file you will find a right and important installation driver order!!! Please follow these steps!!!
I dont know exactly why you get the modem com port problems but I assume that a new XP and driver installation should solve this strange issue.
Good luck

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.

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.

Keep getting a "the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" when I insert my printer cord into either USB port. Recently installed a portable hard drive for back up purposes. Related?

Does your printer have a slot for an SD card? Is there are card in the slot? If so, the computer is trying to mount that card as an external device. It might be corrupted so that it can't be read.
