I downloaded a dmg file containing Epson ICC profiles . After running the installer, I found the path to the profiles is

  • Epson printer 3880 will not print

    iMac 2009
    OSX 10.8.5
    After upgrading from Snow lipard to Mountain Lion bouth my Epson R1900 and 3880 will not print in Adobe Lightroom 5.
    I have checked in the PPD file and the R1900 is listed but the 3880is not. I ran update from the apt stor and also tried the Epsom web site updates and still it will not work. I also tried the cds that came with the printers and I get this"You cant open the application :Epson" because powerPC applications are no longer supported.
    Please help if you can. Nemo

    Have you downloaded the 3880 drivers? There is a driver for 10.8 listed. You can check the same link for the other printer.

  • HT1338 my Epson R3000 will not load printer paper

    Hi, my Epson R3000 will not load printing paper and say's there is communication error, has  any one had this problem? , thanks

    Yes, 90% of the time I try to print something I get that error, and have been gettign that error for years, since the days of OS X Leopard. I have been pausing/resuming each printer to get it to start transferring files again, or, sometimes it won't work and I have to go through the wifi setup again, or unplug cat5 cable and plug it back in, or power cycle the printer if on USB.
    I contacted Epson, and as you most likely know, they have no qualified personnel. They got me throuhg the obvious steps like removing the drivers, re-installing them (I actually did a find / -name "*epson*" and removed everything I found), rebooting the router (poor thing has nothing to do with it, it's working fine otherwise), swapping cat5 cables, usb cables.
    I have 3 of these R3000 printers and they all exhibit the same issues. All of my other printers connected to the same computer/router/wifi do not exhibit this issue. I have Artisan 50 (usb), the 1400 (usb), and 3 Artisan 835s (wifi).
    The things I hate most about  Epson and its printers are the following:
    - they come with 0 support form Epson. If you know what find . -name is, you're already more qualified than any CS rep that's going to answer
    - their drivers get updates very slowly for the OS X platform at least
    - only some older printers will how you # printed pages/ # pages remaining. The R3000 for example shows "spooling job, 3% complete". Very informative.
    - the printer driver for the R3000 creates some kind of proxy files that are HUGE in size, and it's done every time, for each page. It effectively takes 10 minutes to start printing 60 copies of 300DPI letter size photoshop designed files. The printer definitely doesn't have 5GB of RAM or temporary space to hold all that, so why not START FREAKING PRINTING while that stuff goes on in the background for subsequent pages? And if it's the same exact graphic, why doesn't the computer just simply send the first generated proxy file 60 times in a row rather than create 60 different proxy files?
    - all Epson printers I've ever played with will stop printing mid page when it thinks it's out of ink. This determination is done in the chip of the cartridge in combination with the printer firmware, not by actual reading of the ink levels. I would much prefer that the printer would continue to print that page and stop after. Less wasted paper, and the cartridges I throw out ALWAYS have enough ink in them to finish printing one silly page.
    - print quality doesn't change until you spend $500 or more on a printer (print heads are virtually the same type/size on all of Artisan printers for example), ignoring, of course, dye ink vs pigment ink
    - did I mention no qualified customer service personnel and complete disinterest in taking any customer feedback into consideration?
    In conclusion, I am very sorry to let you know that I have yet to find a solution to this, and Epson has been ignoring it for years. If you do bump into something worthwhile though, please post it here.
    Thank you!

  • It will not let me print the score!

    my kid did a project on GarageBand. but GB will not print a score (all instrument on one page). so i imported his GB file into Logic, just to print a score of it, and now LOGIC will not let me print the score (the "print" option on the menu is 'grayed-out'). help! he needs this by 3:00 today. thanks.

    The Quiz Results slide will always pause and there's no way to prevent that.  Look at its timeline and you can see a faint vertical line that indicates the pause point.  You can use your mouse to move this sideways and delay the pause untill objects enter the timeline.  But the rest of the slide beyond that pause point will only play once you click the Continue button.  If you have set a very long duration for the Quiz Results slide, then once you click Continue, what you see as the Continue button not working could just be the timeline continuing to play until it reaches the end of the slide.  Watch the scrub bar on the playback bar to see if it's moving.
    Once the slide is paused the user has to click one of the buttons on that slide to move elsewhere.  If your Continue button is not working, the usual reason is that you have the Quiz > Settings > Required option set to something that will prevent the learner from moving beyond the Quiz Results slide until they fulfil some kind of requirement (e.g. answer all questions or pass the quiz).  So check that setting.

  • My epson stylist 3880 will not print with Photoshop CC on Mac OS 10.9.3. I've already talked to epson, the printer works with Preview.

    There is nothing wrong with the printer or drivers. Something is wrong with Photoshop CC.   The error box says:
    "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."
    Any suggestions?

    Hello charlottedk, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are having cartridge and printhead problems.  I would like to try and assist.
    I would suggest performing a power reset.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would also recommend following the steps in this document on an 'Incompatible Print Cartridge' or 'Print Cartridge Problem' Message Displays on the Computer or P...
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Epson rx680 will not print after apple update print driver

    I have an Epson RX680 which worked perfectly until I allowed the latest apple update to be installed with newest epson printer driver. It now will not print but comes back with a rasce blah blah error. Tried restoring to the previous software but to no avail.

  • Epson R340 will not print higher quality photo - Jobs Stopped!

    I have seen posts on this problem before but I've tried the recommendations and haven't had any luck. From IPhoto 5 (version 5.0.4) I can print regular resolution photos but if I switch to the higher resolution photos the printer stops printing. If I restart printing it says "Opening Printer Connection" and then again "Jobs stopped".
    It is very frustrating since I have printed the higher resolution photos before with the same software, drivers, etc. but I cannot repeat it every time.
    I have tried verifying and repairing disk permissions but it did not work. I have also tried all combinations of Advanced Options - Print Setting along with the Presets.
    Help!
    Mac Mini 1.42 GHz Power PC G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   512 MB DDR SDRAM

    I reinstalled the drivers from the original set-up disk (didn't do anything)
    I reread the Help topics and noticed that Epson had set the Presets to "Standard"
    I noticed that in the ColorSync Utility the default preset was "Standard", so...
    I set the "Format for:" to "Stylus Photo R340"
    I then changed the "Paper Size" to "4x6 (sheet feeder - borderless)"
    - I used to have it as a custom 4x6 size - this may have been the problem
    Then I went into the Print menu from iPhoto and checked to see that the
    Preset was "Standard"
    From there I went into "Advanced Options" -> "Print Settings" and changed the Mode from "Automatic" -> "Speed" to "Quality"
    I hit print and out came the higher resolution, higher quality photos.
    Thanks for helping - I think you put me on the right path.

  • LR /Epson 3880 Color Profile / Monitor Calibration / Printer Calibration etc - X-Rite  Color Munki

    Looking for opinions on the X-rite product colormunki or spyder etc. to calibrate my monitors with the Epson 3880.  My preview screen for printing in LR 5.7.1 looks VERY grainy (at times) and often the printer does not produce accurate color renditions of the monitor screen.  Do folks have an opinion on this or a path they followed to produce the best prints having post processed in both Lightroom and Photoshop?

    Excellent.  Thank you.  I did not realize that you were working with two sets of profiles, one for the monitor to ensure correct color/brightness etc that best duplicates what you will receive from the printer, and a second color profile that adjusts the printers interpretation of the print colors for the type of medium (paper, e.g., gloss, hot press, etc) that you are using to produce the product.  This now makes sense to me.  Therefore, if I am using the correct color management profile in the color management section of the LR print module, e.g. let's say an Epson Hot press paper, if my printed product does not render the colors in the same manner as I viewed them on the monitor, my next step would be to calibrate my monitors using a X-rite device or Spyder etc. 
    Going back to the X-rite Colormunki verses for example a spyder of x-rite i1Display Pro, I assume that the colormunki is able to create a profile for both a monitor as well as the paper you are using. The Colormunki is twice the price of the i1Display Pro.  (I guess it scans the paper).   Unless you are using a non-standard paper from a manufacturer that HAS NOT created a profile which you can download, you do not need a Colormunki and the i1Display Pro (or Spyder) to calibrate the monitor is all that is necessary.
    Finally, your point about ensuring you do not "double" manage the color profile in the software (LR or PS) and the printer driver software is very helpful.  The Epson 3880 printer driver allows you to turn off the color management by the printer but you also can set an input profile, printer profile, and a host of other settings etc depending on your production objective.  You were correct in that, in some cases,I was double managing the color, hence, my product was much more accurate when I choose one or the other.
    Thanks again for being so clear and taking the time to respond in detail.  Much appreciated.

    I had this problem for about 3 months Now, but today I think I fix it,  by clicking on SETTINGS and then DO NOT DISTURB and switching MANUAL from green to White, now I receive my calls, try this it worked for me..:)
