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?

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.

Illustrator cs4 and Epson Stylus R2880 printing problems

I am having printing problems. I am trying to print from my cs4 to my epson stylus photo printer r2880 and am having problem with my picture getting cut off on the left side when I print. The print screen looks perfect but when I go to print, it always cuts off the left edge and the bottom. I tried playing with the x and y's but have no idea what I am doing. Does anyone have this combination of cs4 with the R2880 printer and can help me solve my problem?

Hi Wade,
I have tried playing around with that but I am not sure what I am doing. Here's what it is set at.
On my drop down print screen, i have the size set as US Letter (Sheet Feeder Borderless (retain size).
When I check the 'fit to page' button it actually puts a bigger white boarder around it. The fit to page number says (96.4706%). Shouldn't it say 100%? If I leave it as do not scale I still have a small border around it.
I am not sure about the xy settings. When I have it to 'fit to page' it is:
Top left corner (0,0) Top right corner (0,0)
Bottom left corner (0, .1632) Bottom right corner (0, .1632)
If I have do not scale button clicked:
Top left corner (0,0) Top right corner (0,0)
Bottom left corner (0, -.225) Bottom right corner is (-.3, -.225)
Do these settings look correct? If not, what should my setting say and how can I set it without the setting changing back everytime I open this window.
Thanks for responding,
Celeste

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.

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.

Epson Stylus Pro and Epson Stylus Pro XL

Dear Friends,
I am looking for drivers for my two old Espon Printers "Stylus PRO" and "Stylus PRO XL".
Unfortunately, I did not found anything on Epson Web portal and into the good packet "GIMP Gutenprint".
On web is disponible just version for MAC OS 7 and MAC OS 9, but not for MAC OS X.
Anybody can suggest me how I can solve this issue?
Thank you guys for your help.

PS Those printed are connected on MAC with a Serial port>USB connector, that is going well on Windows Computer (PC well recognize the printers).

Hi there,
Will This Work With My Printer?
The original Epson Stylus Color and Stylus Pro should work. These are the original models of the series and have no other model number associated with them.

Also, have you tried one of the other Stylus Pro Drivers In Printer Setup Utility?

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.

Airport Extreme and Epson Stylus Photo R260

I continue to get a communication error and am unable to print to my R260 through the Airport Extreme hub. Running the latest drivers from Epson, and version 5.3.2 firmware on the Airport Extreme. Airport Extreme show the R260 in its Printer Settings, and the printer shows up in all application print dialogue boxes.
I noticed that Version 5.3.2 (which automatically downloaded and installed on my Airport Extreme), is not rated for Mac OSX 10.4.9. Could that be my problem? If so, is there any way to downgrade the firmware on the Airport Extreme?
Thanks,
Daniel

I found all the old firmware through the apple downloads page. Yes, you can go back to 5.3.1

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
G5 Tower Mac OS X (10.4.6)

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.

Lightroom 2 and Epson Stylus Photo 1280

Using the latest Epson drivers, I am unable to access the color management settings in the Print Dialog Box now that I've updated to LR2. The latest version of Gutenprint (5.2.0 beta3) intermittently displays the Printer Features which mimic the Epson driver color settings, but are too complex even when they do display.
Adobe states it's Epson's issue and old drivers. Epson has no suggestion other than talking to Adobe.
This is running on a Intel MacBook Pro under OS X 10.5.4
Does anyone have any suggestions beside getting a newer printer?
Thanks

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

Try using the pre installed Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Connect the scanner to your Mac whether Wi-Fi or USB.
Launch Image Capture.
Click the very small black box bottom left side of the Image Capture window.
You'll see this pop up menu: Connecting this (device) opens:
You can select a default app to scan (Image Capture) and select a folder from the Imort To pop up menu on the right to save scanned files to.

Photoshop CS5 & Epson Stylus 3800 problem (Mac)

I am experiencing a frustrating problem with Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Epson Stylus Pro 3800 printer with a Mac.
Trying to print on H-M paper, using the appropriate settings (see below), I find that under "Print Settings" on the printer driver, all the "Fine Art paper" choices are greyed out.
Also, which may or may not be relevant, no matter what presets are selected, the parameters remain the same (i.e., it does not appear to be responding to a change of presets).
I am running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4 on an Intel Core 2 Duo iMac. I have loaded the latest Epson driver, and reinstalled it after trashing the old /Library/Printers/EPSON folder.
Settings:
• Photoshop Manages Colors
• Document profile: HFA_Eps3800_MK_PhotoRag
• Printer Profile: HFA_Eps3800_MK_PhotoRag
• Intent: Relative Colorimetric
At this point I am baffled. Can anyone please help?

There are supposed to be Mac drivers and also Leopard beta drivers for the 3800.
There are too many Epson customers on Macs for them to not let the photo printers work with Macs.
P.S. I just Googled "Epson 3800 driver" and the first hit was the driver page. There are Mac drivers there, as there should be. *Did you scroll down past the Windows drivers* on that page? The Mac drivers are right there below the Windows drivers, just as they always are on the Epson site.
