Lost proper printer dialogue box for Epson Photo 870

I recently puchased the iMAC Duo Core and am running OS 10.4.5. I successfully installed the driver for my Epson Photo 870 (which is included with the operating system as a beta version) and was able to print Photoshop Elements files (i.e. pictures) with all of the controls - resolution, paper type, etc needed to get photo quality prints. Now when try to print I get a completely different dialogue box that does not include the Epson-specific features. I have tried to reinstall the driver but have not been successful in restoring the Epson dialogue box. How do I go about doing that?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the suggestion. I located the drivers in the Optional Installs and installed. When I add in printer setup, I do not have the Epson USB option - only Epson Firewire among others. It must have gotten lost at some point if that is possible. That may be the problem. Since the printer did work until recently (i.e. last week), I know it was properly installed at least originally. I could not locate any new drivers for the 870 from the intall - only the Gimp-print ones (for a number of other Epson printers as well).
I had checked at work with 2 new iMAC Duo Cores and they also did not have the Epson USB option but did have the Epson Firewire. An older G5 with OS 10.4.5 did have the Epson USB option included. What else can I try?

  • How to choose the print dialogue box of mac in place of print dialogue box of microsoft office for mac ?

    When I use my microsoft word for mac and that I want to print something, it's not the print dialogue box of my mac that open but the print dialogue box of microsoft.... How to use the defaut print dialogue box ?
    Thanks

    Your take shows iOS 6, but I'm assuming you're talking about OS X since this is the Lion forum.
    MS Word does show a somewhat different layout of the print dialogue, but all of the same options are there under the pulldown menu (where it starts at "Copies & Pages").

  • Looking for "Color Matching" in Tiger Printer dialogue box

    Hello,
    I'm in transition from using Photoshop 7 in Classic to Photoshop CS in Tiger. I built a printer profile in ProfileMaker 5.xx that I would attach to the Printer Dialogue box in Classic under "Color Matching." Thus my prints would pretty much match my monitor. Using Photoshop CS I don't see "Color Matching" option. Do I convert the file to the printer color space and then use "No color Adjustment?"
    Any ideas?

    Bought the HP Color LaserJet 1312nfi for 399.99.

  • Quality and Media options don't appear in Print Dialogue Box

    I recently upgraded my OS and now when I try to print on either my Lexmark Z65 or my Epson R300 (both USB connections), I don't see the "Quality & Media" option in the print dialogue box.
    I need these settings to appear so I can choose Glossy Photo Paper. This is the only setting that will give me the saturated prints that I need for my projects.
    I have tried:
    - reinstalling the latest drivers for each printer
    - deleting and then re-adding the Printers
    - restarting
    I've been reading that others are having similar problems when they upgraded to Tiger, but none of the posted solutions seem to work for me. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jen

    Options such as Quality & Media are known as PDEs (Print Dialog Extensions) and they are added to the standard print dialog by the driver installer. For the new Intel Mac's, to get these extensions to appear (or appear without a line through them) you need to have a driver that is written in Universal Binary.
    You mentioned that you have the latest drivers. Check back to the web site to see if they mention them being Universal Binary versions. If they are Universal, then the previous drivers that were PPC may be interferring with the UB version. Try opening the Printer Setup Utility, click on the title menu and select Reset Printing System. Then close the Printer Setup Utility and open Finder. Navigate to /Library/Printers/ and delete the contents of the Epson and Lexmark folders. Empty the Trash, restart the Mac and try adding the new drivers again.
    If there aren't any Universal Binary versions available, then you can set most applications you are printing from to open using Rosetta. Before opening the application, find its location in the Finder view and go a Get Info on the icon. In the Info window, if there is a setting 'Open using Rosetta', then enable it and open the application. Now you should have the option.

  • Printing dialogue box

    In my older version of photoshop when I went to print my Print Dialogue box gave me options which I can not find on CS6. With my older version under Print Settings the drop down menu for papers included; photo paper glossy and I also had options for advanced settings and advanced setting for B&W. I can not find any of these options in CS6. I do get optios for matt papers, fineart papers, etc.. but no options for glossy photo papers or any option for advanced setting.

  • Problem with inconsistent print dialogue box/Aperture and Elements?

    I just purchased an Epson r1900. In Aperture everything is great! I can pull up icc profiles and the new print dialogue box features all the epson papers (glossy, Matte, Art, CD) in menus with submenus. But in Photoshop Elements 6, I get an old dialogue box which only shows the old Epson papers-Photo. Photo glossy, matte. There is no way, for instance, to choose Velvet art-and that is what I am using. It is driving me nuts. I have thrown out preferences, updated drivers, updated applications, fixed permissions...you name it. same thing in Apple Pages. Why am I not seeing the same dialogue box? Is this not OS controlled? The R1900 is always chosen. ( I do have an older printer as well, but definitely not selected.
    any guidance appreciated!
    thanks
    Nancie

    I have the same problem since I installed Snow Leopard. I have upgraded to the newest canon driver for my Canon Pixma IP5200 printer. Calibrating seems to no longer have a reliable impact on my prints. Also Aperture under SL will not save my preset information for media type, paper source or print quality in the print settings.
    I am assuming this is a bug related to SL and hopefully will be addressed soon... It is very frustrating as I have waisted a lot of time ink and photo paper in the days since I have moved up to SL
    When will we see a fix?

  • "Color Matching" option in print dialogue box...

    Hello,
    I've upgraded to 10.5 (printing from latest Adobe CS3 Photoshop and InDesign) to an Epson R2400 (with the latest 10.5 drivers from Epson). I let Photoshop/InDesign handle color management (rather than the printer).
    Once I hit "print" from the application I'm sent to the OS X print dialogue box. From here I select my Epson settings as I always have (including turning off Epson Color Management) but now, within 10.5, there's a new OS X specific printing option listed as "Color Matching". When I select this I'm giving the options for "ColorSync" (from which I can then choose "automatic" or choose a specific printing profile — though, when I try to select one, I always get a warning saying I'll get undesirable results, and it only goes away when I select "automatic") or "Epson Color Management" (or something like that).
    I do not have an option to turn these "off", I have to select one or the other.
    Now, what exactly is going on here?
    Which do I want to select?
    I assume I would leave it to "ColorSync" since I know I don't want the printer to manage the color, but I'm just confused as to what these settings do since I'm supposed to be managing the color via Photoshop.
    Can anyone shed some light onto this new option under 10.5?
    Thanks!
    Kristin.

    Yes, very strange. If you see a few posts up I actually did get it to work the way I need it to. I called Epson and they had ne reset the printer settings through the system preferences. On my first try this did NOT work, however everything worked as it should in Preview (another image program) and since it did work there the Epson tech basically siad then it's not their problem - most likely adobe.
    However just for the hell of it after I hung up, I tried resetting the printer settings again and sure enough it worked. I was able to change the color settings while using Photoshop to manage colors - namely I needed to print a B&W through the Advanced B&W setting. When they are grayed out I can't do this. But even while doing color I don't like that it's grayed out. I've been printing both color and B&W for the last 5-7 years with photosjop manageing colors. I know about double profiling and how to avoid it.
    If this was by design from adobe, it deosn't make sense that I was able to access it a few weeks ago after resetting the printer settings. And if this was the case when did Adobe supposedly make the change?
    I don't know what's different now, the only thing I can figure is that I had this issue sometime after I installed the lastest Epson print driver - hence the call to Epson... Maybe it's snow leopard weirdness, but I had snow leopard on my laptop and was always able to print sucessfully, but have not tried it since I got the new Mac Pro.
    And the strange thing it works fine on other programs. I can have photoshop manage colors and they are not grayed out. Strange and frustrating. Time to set up the DR.
    I guess I shoud uninstall PS and then try re-installing it.
    thanks...

  • Cannot print. get message to set up  printer instead of printer dialogue box. printer fine with other apps!

    Epson R300 and R1900 are both set up and work fine with all other apps including acrobat.
    After a restart and attempting to print, instead of the print dialogue box an error message appears saying set up a printer as not properly set up. Further attempts are frustrated by print option in menu greyed out. I have deleted drivers and reinstalled without benefit. If this cannot be sorted I will have to cancel and go back to photoshop 5.

  • MacOSX (10.9): Print dialogue box does not appear when printing PDF's

    Hi there,
    I've been having some troubles with the latest version of Adobe Reader on an intel-based MacBook Pro running MacOSX 10.9 (Mavericks).
    Environment Details:
    Device type: MacBook Pro
    OSX: 10.9 (Mavericks)
    Adobe Reader version: 11.0.06
    Details:
    After installing Reader 11.0.06, the print dialogue box does not appear through the print button or through File -> Print... . As a result, I simply cannot print PDF documents when using Adobe Reader.
    - Only 1 MacBook Pro affected
    - The print dialogue box does appear for other application (i.e. Preview, Word, Excel, etc., etc.)
    - Multiple restarts performed
    - Attempted to download older versions with no success
    - Attempted multiple uninstall/reinstalls
    - Reset the CUPS printing system multiple times
    - Validated that the account accessing/using Reader has full administrative privileges to the Adobe Reader application
    - Occurs for multiple PDF's from various sources
      -> Online source
      -> Converted from Word
    Additionally (I'm unsure if this is related or not), but after trying to perform an update, I receive the following error:
    An unimplemented or obsolete function was called
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers!

    Hi there,
    Just bumping this thread for more visibility.
    If anyone has any thoughts, I'd more than appreciate your advice!

  • Print dialogue box is whacked.  Can't find a solution

    I have been having this problem for some time and just working around it as best I can but this is really a problem for me.  I have uninstalled-restarted the computer and reinstalled Reader 11.0.06 from adobe.com and still not fixing the problem. 
    When I open a pdf and click on print, the print dialogue box is unreadable.  I am trying to include a screen shot of the problem.  When I print other type of documents I don't have this issue.  ONLY PDF's.  And as seen in the attachments below some PDF's print box opens up differently than other PDF's.  Very weird and frustrating.    Any ideas?  Thanks
    I am using windows 7 pc

    I guess I must have stumped the Adobe world???

  • I can't print selected text in a Print dialogue box in Yahoo mail or my bank site. I used to, now I can't.

    I am having this problem both in my online banking site and when using Yahoo Mail. When I click on Print on either of these sites and then close the Print dialogue box that automatically comes up, highlight just the text I want printed, then hit Ctrl+P and choose Selection, Print Preview shows me a blank page. When I try printing the selection using either of the 2 printers I have, it prints a blank page. And yet when I do the same thing in Internet Explorer, I have no trouble printing the text I want. I tried doing the prefs.js troubleshoot, deleting everything in that file that starts with print, but it made no difference. I used to be able to print this way in Firefox no problem, but now it doesn't work. Why not, and how do I get it to work again? I'm using Windows XP and Firefox 11.

    A bug was introduced in the latest version of Firefox that affects printing selections that are inside a table. Because many pages use tables for general layout (without displaying the borders), this may appear to strike at random.
    A fix is expected in Firefox 12. More information: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/923294 how to get print selection to work | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help]
    If you expand your selection to include some content outside the table, then the feature should work, but of course it would include some unnecessary information.

  • I cannot and never have been, able to open a file that has been previously saved to hard disk by choosing the print to file option in the print dialogue box

    '''I cannot and never have been, able to open a file that has been previously saved to hard disk by choosing the print to file option in the print dialogue box. Firefox displays gooblygook even though the file name is an html, Windows Notepad crashes, MS Excel does not recognise the file type. MS Word displays goobblys also when the file has no filename extension.'''

    If you use print to file then you get a file that is meant to be send to a printer and that file has all kind of formatting code for that specific printer.
    Opening such a file in Firefox or a text editor can only work if you use a text only printer to print the file to, so make sure that such a printer is installed and selected.

  • Print dialogue box not opening with HDR image

    I created an HDR image using HDR Efex Pro 2 a month ago and printed it.  It is saved as a psd file.  I went to print it yesterday and the print dialogue box won't open. I've tried alt tab to check the box isn't open and hidden.  I've re-created the image and the result still won't open.  No other images are causing this problem.  It's probably something really simple and hopefully someone out there can shed light for me.  Thanks

    Thanks for that - I wondered about the 32 bit/channel but am bemused as to how I got the first print a month ago!!  Now toned which and in 16 bit and print dialogue box opened.
    Thanks guys
