Major printing problem with Epson R1800 and 1.5

I have an Epson R1800 and Aperture 1.5
Any page that I try to print borderless has a quarter inch border around 2 edges. I've tried to calibrate but the two borders are way outside what the calibrate option can deal with.
This happens on all paper sizes. There is no option that I can find anywhere to fix this.
Every other app prints just fine, including iPhoto. It seems limited to Aperture.
Thanks, Bill

Behold the power of asking a question.
It fixed itself.
I have no idea how or why. But after 3 hours of working, it fixed itself in less than 5 minutes.
Thanks, Bill

  • PSE 9 printing problem with Epson printer

    hello there,
    I am using PSE 9  with Windows XP and Epson 3880 printer. I have re-installed all programs/drivers a couple of times. PSE9 Printer dialogue will not let me print choosing "Let Photoshop Manage Colour".  It will only let me print with "Let Printer Manage Colour".  I am using Epson papers.
    When I select "Let Photoshop Manage Colour", a box appears saying "ICC profile no longer available" and it won't let me print.  Is this a PSE 9 problem or an Epson problem?
    thanks !!!

    Well, I actually found the answer. I spoke to an Epson Rep!
    I used to have the Epson 2200 printer, then the Epson 3800, and now I use the 3880 printer on Windows XP and Windows 7 on my laptop.
    When you uninstall the other 2 printers, the color profiles are still in your program files and can become corrupted.
    This is why, in PSE 9, when I checked the box Let Photoshop Elements Manage Colour, it woildn`t print and instead there was the pop-up box ``ICC profile no longer available`` because it was trying to access the old paper profiles and not the ones that came with the 3880. I use Epson papers, by the way.
    The solution was to go into C-Drive, Program Files, System 32, spool,drivers, colour, and this opens to the ICC profiles used by the printer. Then I deleted the old paper profiles associated with my former printers.
    And it worked !!

    Hi Agung,
    Here is a way out for the issue you have submitted. I can't guarantee that this wayout work perfectly:
    Question:
    As we know that the dos matrix printer supports dos prompt and thus printing speed and
    life of the printing head is comparatively more than what we print the same in graphical format.
    So when I tried to print from SAP Bone in dot matrix printer, the printing speed is very slow and quality of printout is not good enough.
    Any clarifications on this regard would prove very helpful to me.
    Regards,
    xxxxx

    Solution:
    Do you use one of this printer types:
    Dot Matrix, Printer, Needle Printer, Citizen ProDot 300 , Oki Microline, Epson FX880, Epson FX890 ?
    Here the stepwise I have tried :
    In order to print using Dot Matrix printers, follow the below
    instructions:
    1. Run SAP Business One.
    2. Click the upper menu 'File' and select 'Page Setup'.
    3. The Print Setup window opens. Under 'Paper', in the field 'Size', select 'Letter' from the drop down menu.
    4. Click OK to confirm your selection.
    5. On your desktop, click Start => Settings => Printers.
    6. Right click on the required Dot Matrix printer and select 'Printing Preferences...'.
    7. Click the 'Paper/Quality' tab page and click the 'Advanced' pushbutton.
    8. Under'Paper/Output'=> 'Paper Size', click on the underlined paper size(e.g. A4) and select 'Letter' from the drop down menu.
    Note that if you leave the value 'A4', each page will be spreaded over 2 pages when printing using Dot Matrix printers.
    9. Under 'Graphic'=> 'Print Quality', click on the underlined value (e.g. 230X250 dots per inch) and select '120X144 dots per inch' from thedrop down menu.
    Note that in case the value '120X144' is not available you should select a similar value from the list.
    I did not test it yet and I am not so sure about the result but you could test it.

  • Printing problem with Epson R290 Illustrator and inDesign

    I am running CS2 on Leopard and have recently purchased an Epson R290. The first time I used it with Illustrator and InDesign it worked fine but now whenever I print anything it prints a tiny version (about a sixth of the real size) of the design in the top left corner of the page. It does this both with new documents and old ones that used to print ok.

    Since I posted the message about this problem I have discovered that it can be worked around by choosing a higher quality print. ie if you choose plain paper when printing from Illustrator or InDesign the printer prints a reduced size image but if you choose Ink jet mat or glossy the print comes out fine. I don't have this problem with Photoshop but that may be that I always print high quality from that application. I don't use Appleworks Draw so don't know whether this solves the problem for that application but iWork documents print ok.

  • Print size problems with Epson R3000 and Mountain Lion

    I am using Mountain Lion on a 2008 MBP and an Epson R3000 printer.  I can not get prints to size to my paper.  In aperture I am choosing custom since there is no option for 11.7X16.5.  I have set the print size to the same and still it does not work.  I tried both landscape and portrait but that did not work.

  • Pausing Problem with Epson R1800

    After searching this as well as many other forums, I have yet to come up with a fix for this problem.
    I am running Leopard (10.5.6) on my iMac. I am connected to the office printer (Epson R1800) via Bonjour. I had a problem with printing a couple months back and fixed the issue by installing the update for Ambrosia Software. Everything since then has been working fine, until now that is.
    Every time I try to print something it connects to the printer then pauses. I hit "Resume Printer" yet it just keeps pausing. I've uninstalled the printer drivers, repaired the disk permissions, and reinstalled the drivers using the most updated version. Even after the fresh install I am still getting the pausing problem. Thinking that it was just my computer, I went to use a co-workers computer (iMac w/ 10.5.6) to try and print the document. The co-worker's computer is directly connected to the R1800 via USB yet when trying to print I still get the pausing problem. I've tried printing with Photoshop CS4 as well as Preview and get the same problem.
    Has anyone experienced this problem? If so, have you found a fix for it? I've been racking my brain and just cannot come up with a solution.
    -binaryskies

    I have two xerox CP245s doing exactly the same thing. I can print to our color HP and our color xerox, just not the black & white ones. They have worked fine for two years and just started this pausing business yesterday.

  • Printing Problem with Epson R320 (Print CD)

    Problem: I cannot print using Print CD with a new Epson Stylus Photo R320, however I can print from applications using the gimp beta driver provided in OS software, via <Print Using> dialogue box.
    Power Mac G4 dual 450, running 10.4.6.
    After phoning Epson, I downloaded the needed driver from Epson and went through the installation process with an Epson tech. However I cannot seem to access this driver in the print utility. The Printer Setup Utility is forcing me to choose a “gimp” driver. Some discussions on this site suggest choosing just Epson usb—the question is how with the way the dialogue boxes are configured in Printer Setup Utility. The problem seems to be I am unable to access the driver through the <Print Using> menu in the utility. If I select more printers, (after highlighting the R320) this causes the print utility to crash.
    I have repaired permissions, reset the printer setup, uninstalled, reinstalled; actually I have done everything I could find to do. The problem seems so simple. I easily created my CD label; now I would just like to print it!! Any ideas from all the pros on this list. Thank you.

    I have an Epson R320 and have communication problems.You start the job and after about 5 seconds you get a ! in the dock on the printer icon and on opening you see "job stopped".
    I am no expert but it seems to me that the program e.g.MYOB accounting fails to pass the data to OSX.
    If I de install and reinstall the epson drivers and repair permission it will work ...but then the next day on re-booting we are back to the same state of not working.
    I have informed Epson and am waiting for a reply. The epson printer tests and standalone mode works. OSX problem?

  • Printing problem with Epson Workforce 840 & iPhoto 6

    My iPhoto 6 works fine with our other printer - HP Officejet.
    However, when I try to print a 4x6 photo with the Epson Workforce 840, the "iPhoto" tab in the print settings doesn't offer the usual set of paper options.  It only offers a limited set including Letter, A4, and a bunch of weird papers called: EPKG; EP8x10in; EPHiVision102x180; EPPhotoPaperLRoll; etc.   No, there's no "EP4x6". 
    I choose 4x6 in page setup, but that doesn't help.  I've downloaded and installed the Epson drivers and rebooted.
    Help!

  • Printing problem with Epson photo 2200

    I have a Powerbook G4 running the most recent version of OSX. I can no longer print to my Epson Photo 2200. When I try and print the Printer window pops up, and the job automatically stops without printing.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the 2200 driver, I have hooked up a Canon printer to the powerbook (and this printer works fine with the powerbook), I have printed a test sheet on the 2200 (which is done without a connection to the Powerbook and it printed fine). The problem lies in the computer printer connection (I am using USB for the link).
    Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    I had a similar problem with a Epson Stylus Photo R800. The printer would not print Word docs or DVD media using the most updated software from Epson. After going through two printers I paid a consultant to come in on a Saturday night who told me that communication errors between Epson printers and current versions of the MacOS are encountered every day in his business. And neither Apple or Epson address the issue directly.
    To get the Stylus Photo R800 to work we had to reconfigure the driver to deal with Manual Feeding of documents and DVDs. It took about an hour of experimentation but once done...with no help from Apple or Epson...the printer did work very well. However, the Epson Print CD software is a total bust. We found a third party solution called DiscLabel that allowed us to print DVDs with the reconfigured driver. I'm disgusted with both Apple and Epson because Epson sells printer with the promise that it will work with the MacOS when three hours of struggle with useless software proved otherwise.
    If others have a better experience or know of simple solutions to the Epson Print CD problem please post them.
    Thanks in advance for tolerating my rant.

  • Elements 9 printing problems with epson 3880

    HI All:
    Elements was working fine with epson 3880.
    Problems developed:
    1. Would print color pics in black and white only while in Editor; color pics printed ok in Organizer
    2. Now Print Preview does not work in either Editor or Organizer
    3. Now cannot print in either Editor or Organizer
    I purchased Elements online.  I do not have a CD for reinstall.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I am having a similar problem that seems the reverse of yours in a way, though it may be related. Mine occurred only with the disk-installed version, not the downloaded trial version, and it was present from the start on my iMac. Everything worked fine with the 3880 and 2400 printing from the trial version of PSE9 (downloaded), just as it had with PSE8. CS5 and Apple Aperture are also installed and had been working normally. Then I received the install disk for PSE9 and installed it. After that, Preview did not produce a preview, PDF did not produce a PDF, and Print did not produce a print. CS5 also would not preview or print after that. Aperture, however, was unaffected. Some experimentation revealed that the problem occurred only with "Photoshop Elements Manages Color" selected and printer color management turned off. With "Printer Manages Color" selected, it printed.
    I uninstalled both CS5 and PSE9 and reinstalled 8, which once again worked properly. Hoping there had been an install error as the cause of the problem with the original installation of 9, I then uninstalled 8 and reinstalled 9, and the problem recurred. So it's back to PSE8, and try to figure out how to call the problem to Adobe's attention without paying for a tech support session. Interesting that a glitch that causes a problem with PSE's printing can also affect PS's printing.
    I suspect your problem is related to mine. Do you use a Mac? I think the reason the problem didn't occur at first with my system is that the trial installation is not the same as the paid one, if only because the trial version doesn't have the user sign up with Photoshop.com or whatever it is, which I had never done until I installed 9 from the disk. So it seems that something in the full, purchased version is causing the glitch. I have no idea why your version should have worked at first, then crumped.
    Two more things I'm going to do now: reinstall CS5 on the iMac (should be OK, as it was before I got 9), and install 9 on my laptop to see what happens.
    My advice for now is to download the trial version of 9, uninstall the current installation of 9, install the downloaded trial version, and (without entering the serial # from your downloaded version) see if it works properly. Then contact tech support. Especially if you have a Mac, tell them you have heard from others who have related the same problem to you.

  • Printing problems with Epson R2880, works fine on Snow Leopard

    I have 3 iMacs running Snow Leopard which comes with driver version 8. These can print just fine to the Epson but as soon as I connect it to my Mac Mini running Lion it refuses to print. I get this error "Printing has been canceled because the paper source selected in theprinter driver does not match the paper loaded in the printer."
    This is nonsense, I only use A4 and A3 but both refuse to print, furthermore there is no paper setting on the driver.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Been googling like mad but while I have seen others with this problem I have not seen anyone with a sollution. I can print just fine to other printers. Have started from the emergency partition and repaired permissions, re-installed latest combo update, and even downloaded the whole epson update from Apple, no dice.
    Help!

    First, the error message is probably telling you that the paper source or paper requested does not match what has been loaded in the printer and has been selected in the printers menu. That means you might have chosen the wrong paper when initially loading the printer. This printer relies on the user to chose the proper media when loading and then to match that when setting up to print through whatever software printing the file. Open the queue in System Prefs, Printer, Queue and delete the job that is stopping the printer; close tab. If the printer is stuck on the job, go to the printer menu and cancel job.
    Be sure that you have installed the proper driver. If in doubt, remove the printer from the Printer list in System Prefs. Download the newest driver software from Epson, install and add the printer in the System Prefs, Printers. The correct driver should say something like "Epson SP2880".
    PS.... have the printer's manual handy. It has most of this in there.

  • Problems with Epson R300 and my IMac

    I have an iMac 24 Intel Duo Core running OS 10. 4.11
    I've had my R300 since I bought the computer and it has been working beautifully until the last 4 months or so. When trying to print a dialog box popped up saying that the computer couldn't communicate with the printer.The printer works with my laptop running OS 10.4.11 as well as using CF card directly in printer. I checked the USB cable with another device in the same USB port on my iMac and it works fine too. I tried resetting the PRAM,repairing the disc permissions,restarting numerous times and eventually resetting the printer and reloading the Epson Software. Before reloading the Epson software I went to the library>printers and removed the old Epson software. I also went to Receipts in the Library and removed the Epson receipts as suggested else where on this forum. The new Epson software reload HANGS at "6 more items to load" . If I connect the printer to my IMac I can see it in the Systems profiler box as well as the print dialog box. I'd really like to use my printer. Please help!

    Hi again!
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
    Disconnect the USB cable from any UPS so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
    Alternate method...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.

  • Printing problems with Epson RX420

    I have an Epson RX420 and every time I try to print to it from Aperture I get horrible colours, and the image looks like its been through some sort of processing that's sucked out some of the detail. Its always been like that since I got my iMac, running on both Tiger and now Leopard. My solution has been to export files as JPEG, email them to a Windows laptop and then print on that from Photoshop Elements to the same printer. That works fine, so its not the printer.
    I've posted an example of it to Flickr
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/khaosproductions/sets/72157622094258487/
    with the original image, and then a scan of the prints of it from Aperture and a Windows machine.
    I've tried to get new drivers, and am currently using the latest Gutenprint drivers to print, but it doesn't help.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Anyone successfully printed from Aperture to an RX420? Or should I bin it and buy a new printer?
    Thanks in advance
    David

    I managed to find some new drivers for it which I couldn't find on the Epson site in previous visits:
    http://www.epson.co.uk/Printers-and-All-In-Ones/Inkjet/Epson-Stylus-Photo-RX420/ Drivers-Support
    Seems to work, very slight green colour cast on prints but not really noticeable
