IPhoto 6 and Epson Stylus Photo 2200 Printer

The photos that I print from iPhoto 6 to my Epson 2200 printer are all coming out way too green. What settings do I need to use in the print dialog -- and color management? -- to get decent results? I can print beautifully from Photoshop CS2 to the 2200. I just can't figure out what settings to use in iPhoto. Thanks in advance for your help with this question. _sidpink

Kingstone's reply was helpful even though a little discouraging. But it made me realize that the problem probably lies with the choice of which software is doing the color management. The Epson 2200 printer driver provides some "advanced" settings in the print window, and I had been specifying "No color adjustment," because that's the setting recommended when printing from Photoshop. I had simply been trying the same setting when printing from iPhoto. But I went back and printed a photo from iPhoto using the "Color Controls" setting (without changing any of the variables), and the print came out perfectly! So I've answered the question to my satisfaction thanks to Kingstone's reply -- and I don't have to go out and invest in Photoshop Elements.

Problems printing using iPhoto and Epson Stylus Photo R2400

I'm using OS 10.5.6 and iPhoto 8.0.2(402) to print pictures on my Epson Stylus Photo R2400.
I have other printers set up on this computer and they all print everything just fine regardless of the program I am using.
Using the Epson Stylus, I'm able to print from any other program than iPhoto.
When I try to print pictures from iPhoto, I get the error message...
can't open ` /private/var/spool/cups/tmp/4a18c65407c9b (the numbers at the end changes each time I try to print.
When I go in to check the folders out to see what might be causing the problem, the permissions on the folder cups and tmp have the following rights set up. system = Read & Write, _lp = No Access, everyone = No Access.
I've been able to set the everyone setting to equal Read & Write access, but I can't get the _lp access to change. When I reboot the computer, the everyone setting goes back to No Access.
Any ideas for how I can get this to work?
Thanks,
Bill

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't have a tried and true fix for that but I would start with dumping the printer driver via the System/Print pane and then reinstall it. Go to the Epson site to download the latest driver for that particular model in case there's a newer one released.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Using iMac, Aperture 3, and & Epson Stylus Photo R1800 printer: How come my prints look like trash?

I have calibrated my iMac Intel Core i3 and printing through Aperture 3 with an Epson Stylus Photo R1800 is not producing great results. Cyan is dominating along with blue lines through the grass in the picture. I figure the lines are a result of clogged head...but the fact the prints are not close to the image on the screen is alarming. HELP!!!

SFSteinie,
There is an Aperture forum, I'd recommend reposting there and perhaps another R I 1800 users has some insight you may not know about.

Problem to print with iPhoto and epson stylus photo RX620

I asked a question about the print with Iphoto. Larry gave some explainations but it still doesn't work. I can change the reglages with Safari, with Mail but not with Iphoto. So when I try to print photos, the reglage is standard and the result is bad. I would like to change the reglage, if i use glassy photo paper. With my PC, I have no problem to print with window or picassa. Thanks for your answer.

First I have no idea in the world what "reglage" is
But what ever printer specific options are available are supplied by the manafacturer's print driver and these are available on the last print window

Epson Stylus Photo 2200 and Bonjour

My Epson Stylus Photo 2200 printer can use either Firewire or USB. When connected directly to my G5 with Firewire I can add printer features which include setups for "Borderless" and "Minimal Margins" printing.
However, from my MacBook Pro, after installing the latest Epson driver, I can print only in Standard mode through Bonjour. This is with the printer attached to my Airport Extreme USB port.
I contacted Epson and this was their reply:
"Thank you for contacting the Epson Connection.
You will need to contact Apple and inform them that there Bonjour protocol
doesn't support extra features like borderless and minimal margins. As
stated before, Epson America supports the product only with a direct USB
connection to a USB port on the computer and a direct Firewire cable to a
firewire port on the computer. Epson America doesn't support or test any
type of third-party printer servers, switchs, routers or Apple base
stations. Apple has already stressed that there base stations do not
support the Epson Status monitor. Unfortunately, if the Apple Bonjour
protocol only supports the "Standard" printer driver, there is nothing
Epson can do about it and you will need to talk to Apple and see if they
have any work around. "
How can I get this printer to use these features that I use regularly without connecting directly from computer to printer? Is there a work around?
It seems silly to have to connect directly. After all that's why we got MacBooks - to access the internet and print - remotely!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 2GB SDRAM

You can try uninstalling the drivers for your printer and re-installing the printer drivers....Also, then try to add the printer port and try to check the same.....hope that should sort this out....

Epson Stylus Photo 2200 RIP Software errors

I'm at my wit's end! For no apparent reason, I cannot print to my Epson Stylus Photo 2200 with my Stylus RIP Pro 2.0 PS server software from either of my 2 computers--I get the same problems from both computers. I have a Dual 1 GHz PowerPC G4 running Mac OS 10.4.7 and a new 2x2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon running 10.4.8. I'm trying to print from Illustrator CS2. Several different things are happening when I print the job.
a) It sends the print job to print far too quickly. Sometimes it times out and never even appears in the 127.0.0.1 window, and doesn't send it to the RIP. The job simply disappears. When it does send to the printer, it stops the job, putting it on hold and when I click start jobs, it promptly stops it again and this repeats itself going nowhere.
I gave up, unplugged it, disconnected the USB, plugged it all back in, repaired permissions to both computers, restarted and then tried to print again and then:
b) In the printer list the job shows up as first printing to the RIP (127.0.0.1) for a few seconds, then it quickly bounces to the next printer on my list, an HP laser jet???!!!
I've uninstalled and reinstalled both the RIP software and the 2200 in printer setup utility and on both systems. All the files I'm trying to print will print directly to the 2200, just not through the RIP software, so I know it's communicating. The files will all print to my other printers as well, but I need to print them to the 2200 with the RIP for best quality.
When I launch the RIP software, sometimes--but not every time--I immediately get a PS server error that says: EPSONLPRService EPSONLPRService error. This happens on both computers. I have received no help from Epson whatsoever. I run a business and I must print this job. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks!!!

Thnx for the reply. I think I have a better understanding of your setup. I was thinking that you had a physical RIP, rather than it being software. That would explain why you are using the loopback address to view the spool area of the RIP.
However, could you confirm some more. Is the Epson physically connected to one Mac via USB or is it network with its own IP address?
You also mention in your original post a HP printer jobs were switching to. Is this an Ethernet or USB printer?
The reason I ask is that I was thinking that if they were both networked then there may be an addressing issue. As a test I would change the RIP software so that only the Epson printer is spooled to.
I would also only print from TextEdit. The CS2 suite is not an ideal test app, unless it is only the suite you are having trouble printing from.
I know that you have already performed a repair permissions, but I would do it after booting from the OS X disc. I'm guessing the RIP software acts as a service and starts on boot. If you boot from the disc, the service won't have started and therefore it will respond to any attempt by the system to repair it.
The other thing I would try is downloading the full 10.4.8 Combo updater for Intel and PPC and run this on both Mac's respectively.
Also, check that you have correct queue names for the LPD queue. This can cause jobs to behave as you mention. Better still, see if the software supports some other protocol such as Raw (Port 9100). If it does then you can connect using the HP Jet Direct-Socket to see if that works.

Paul

Bought a new Mac Pro, purchased a Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter, then hooked up Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer but the system preferences does not see the printer. Started, restarted, hit the " " to add a printer but no go.

How to connect via Firewire/Thunderbolt adapter an Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer to a new Mac Pro

When you switch from USB to FireWire, you have essentially installed a new (i.e., different) Printer.
In the Add-a-Printer dialog, delete[-] the existing Printer queue which is set up for USB. Then, with the Printer connected via FireWire, Add [+] a new Printer queue and it should set it up correctly this time.
To go back to USB, you would have to delete and re-add in a similar fashion later.

Using Lightroom for Windows 8.1 with Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer.

Using Lightroom for Windows 8.1 with Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer. From PRINT section, if I click either "Page Setup" or "Printer" I get the Epson printer dialog box, drill down, change settings- so far so good. When I'm finished with the settings and close the dialog box (hit OK) the print job starts immediately; I never get a chance to hit the Lightroom "Print" button. Question: does this bypass any Lightroom processing or control of the print job?

Even if I just click the Printer button to verify my settings I should then return to Lightroom, and then click Print to start the job. This does not happen, the job starts as soon as I close the properties dialog box. Again, is any Lightroom processing or control being bypassed because of this?

Epson Stylus Photo 2200--Roll Paper function not found

After I reset my printer function for another problem, I lost my ability to print on Roll Paper altogether. The other fuctions that go along with the Stylus Photo 2200 driver are not made available. I cannot print my panoramas. I have gone around and around and around with Epson who finally seemingly gave up.
When Stylus Photo 2200 is listed as the printer only Epson (SP2200) comes up as a companion printer. No matter what I do, and I have done everything from dumping everything Epson and starting completely over to every thing Epson suggested.
It seems the menu Printer Setup Utility has changed and when the printer is listed, it only offers only "Printer Model" that stays greyed out instead of "Page Setup" which was what gave me the functions I needed to add in the past . Is there a way to revert back to the old Printer Setup Utility? Using the Epson Printer Utility doesn't work because, although it shows the printer driver, it offers no way to add the Roll Paper function. I hope this makes sense and that someone can figure this out! Thanks

Anyone else having difficulty with Adobe Photoshop CC and Epson Stylus Photo R3000?

Everytime I try to print an image from Photoshop CC to my Epson Stylus Photo R3000, it can't seem to find the printer. I have no problem printing the same image from Lightroom 5 or Preview on Mac. The printer shows in the Photoshop Print Dialogue box but after I click Print the print queue just says searching for printer and can't find it. I can print a test page from the printer Utility and anything else I try, just not Photoshop CC. I'm running OSX 10.9 Mavericks. Thanks.

Epson Stylus Photo 820 print workaround for OS 10.3.9?

Howdy!
I have an Epson Stylus Photo 820 that I'm using under OS 10.3.9- that I can't seem to (directly) print to out of in most applications. It works fine in Safari and Entourage and Quark; but out of Photoshop, Illustrator; InDesign, Word, etc., there's no print option. I have to click Preview first and then am able to print. It doesn't work at all with Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 and one or two other apps. The driver I have installed is version 1.1.0 (I didn't see any updated drivers on the Epson page). The Print Manager sees it in the queue. It's checked and set as the default printer. Yet, I still have the headache.
Anyone else having similar problems? Is there a workaround?
Also- I kind of miss my printing options of my (long gone and MUCH better quality) Epson 740 under OS 9 where I could set the print quality level of the print out. Is there a similar option for the 820 under OS 10.3.9?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks, but the one driver that may have worked (though it states for OS's 10.1.3-10.2.6... there is no 10.3.9 version) has a dead link.

This is really frustrating that Epson will take your money and not support their product. No wonder they have a huge class action suit against them.

Mavericks AND Epson Stylus Photo R280-driver?

I just removed one EPSON Stylus Photo R280 and plugged in another one of the same model. Can't find the printer when I send something to print, so I deleted the printer from my printer list and then added it back. It wants to go to the Apple server and get the software, which it says is available. When I hit add, it looks and says software is not available. The old printer was runnning printing fine, so obviously there is a driver. How do I get it to recognize it?

What if you try deleting the /Library/Printer/EPSON and the/Library/Caches/Epson/ folders and then reinstalling the updates?

Tiger and Epson Stylus Photo 870

I just upgraded to 10.4.11 from 10.3.9. My Epson Stylus Photo 870 (USB connected) was working fine under Panther. However, now with Tiger, I can't get it to print. It still works fine in Classic mode. Had the same problem with Tiger and my HP 1200 but, after reinstalling the HP software from the CD, that works fine now in Tiger. Tried reinstalling the Epson software also, but it still won't print in Tiger. What am I missing?

Thanks to all the advice I found in earlier posts. I downloaded and installed the Gimp drivers and everything works correctly now.
