No Matte paper option in paper settings Epson 2880

I have an Epson 2880. running with Lightroom 2.4 on a mac with OSX 10.5.7
However when I try to select the Epson Matte paper option in print settings> paper settings , it's not there.
I have loaded the latest Epson drivers and have got Premium Luster surface added but no Matte heavyweight. I can't select this in either 64 or 32 bit mode.
I have the same problem with Photoshop. Now this isn't a major problem as I can use the Premium Luster as a alternative and it works fine.
I have profiles for the Matte paper available, but it makes no difference
I just wondered why I couldn't select the Matte option. It has been suggested that It wont appear unless I have the Matte Black cartridge installed, but I was of the opinion this cart was for uncoated stock, which I thought the Epson matte paper wasn't.
Any ideas???

John, you need to do two things.
First, you need to insert the Matte Black cart. Whatever you may have heard elsewhere, Matte Black is not solely for printing on uncoated stock. It is for printing on whatever papers were designed to be used with Matte Black inks, whether coated or not. Enhanced Matte (a.k.a. Archival Matte, Ultra Premium Presentation Paper Matte), Velvet Fine Art, UltraSmooth Fine Art, Entrada, Photo Rag, etc. are all coated on the printing surface and are designed to be used with Matte Black.
Second, you need to visit the Page Setup dialog box and make sure you have the appropriate paper feed selected. Otherwise you won't have access to all of the matte black-compatible media types, such as Velvet Fine Art.

Trouble accessing Paper Source in page settings db for Epson printer

I am trying to print on an Epson 7600 using a sheet of paper, but the default settings are for roll paper. I see the setting in the page attributes of the print dialog box, but cannot find a way to change it. I've tried the page setup (where it is supposed to be), the printer setup (no option available at all), and have followed every button option of every window. It is the same for apple Mail program as CS2, so I think it is a printer db problem, not photoshop.
ps, my epson C84 works fine... it is the 7600 default settings that are not accessable-
HELP! and thanks for you help-

my problem is now solved. I got with Epson support. We had to remove the printer from the printers/scanners in the Preferences section of the iMac HD after unplugging the usb cable. Then, we went to the disc utility in Applications folder and performed a disc repair. After that we connected the printer, rebooted, opened PE12/LR4.4 and, voila, the paper source and media type now contained the appropriate info. Something was not right in my system, one of those mysteries.

How do I select a differnt media type/paper in lr5 if the media/paper options are grey?

I recent changed ink from photoblack to matte. How do I select a differant paper if all options are greyed out?
EG in Print Module I have seectedMelect Printer Settings, Media Type:
All options of paper type can't be selected...greyed out!!!!!!

Select the eventy and use Organize Event in the Fiule menu.

CS5 will not print on new Epson 3880, message paper out or paper not loaded correctly

CS5 will not print on new Epson 3880, message paper out or paper not loaded correctly

In the Print dialog box, click Print Settings and verify the Paper Size you chose. This is important because the 3880 has three paper feeds (auto sheet feeder, rear manual feed, front manual feed). And for each major paper size you have to choose not only the size but also the correct feed. For example, if you want US Letter, choose US Letter, notice that this menu expands to five more US Letter paper size options, and choose the specific US Letter paper feed you want.
If there is a mismatch between the paper size + feed combination you picked and the feed where the paper actually is, you can get the error that you're seeing. Because the Epson printer driver will look for the paper in a feed where there isn't any paper.
So if you've added US Letter paper to the automatic paper tray, in Paper Size double-check that you chose the US Letter submenu command that says just US Letter, not one of the other options like US Letter (Manual - Front).

How to change the paper type in printer settings?

Does anyone know how to change the paper type in printer settings? I'm trying to have the ability to change it to photo paper from Photoshop Elements. I can't find the option in printer settings or through Elements. I'm assuming I could save an additional printer setting for photo printing, but can't find how to even select a different paper type.
thanks!

It would help to know which OS you are running as the answer will be different if it's Lion or the previous OS's. You are not running iOS 5.0.1 on your MacBook Pro so provide the correct information.

Almost no paper options in PS print menu

I'm using Photoshop CC on a Mac yosemite and want to print on transparencies. However the print menu only lets me choose photo paper or plain paper (with different qualities).
How do I get more options for different kinds of paper like vellum or transparencies? My printer is a HP Photosmart.

That's entirely up to your printer driver, but with such generic info nobody will be able to point you in the right direction. HP do not produce jsut one printer, you know, nor do we know anything about your exact print settings, how the printer is connected and so on...

HP Photosmart 3210 installed on my iMac But is showing as but is showing as HP Color Laserjet 2800 series PS which means I no longer have access to all the paper options especially the photo tray

I have recently purchased an iMac running Lion. The HP Photosmart 3210 printer was connected through the network and I was happy that it recognised the printer - good old Mac's!!
However, when I tried to print some of my photos from the photo tray, the option was not available and when I looked at the printer properties, it was showing as a HP Color LaserJet 2800 Series PS which does not have all the paper options I had before. Reinstalling the software from HP did not make any difference - do I now have to buy a new printer as well???

I suggest opening the Print & Scan System Preferences, then highlight your HP Photosmart printer in the printers list and delete it by pressing the minus sign. Now, re-add the printer by clicking on the plus sign and select the printer. Make sure that the 'Print Using:' pull down aut selects the correct driver for your printer. If it doesn't, pull down the list and manually select the correct driver using the 'Select Printer Software' option. Hopefully that will resolve your issue.

Wrong photo paper used -- suggestions for settings changes to correct

Ordered ink online & ordered the suggested paper (Advanced Photo Paper). I usually use Premium Plus photo paper. The prints using the Advanced Photo Paper are unusable. Are there changes I can make in the settings to use this other paper until I use it up & can buy the correct paper?

What printer model? What operating system?

Epson 2880 Print Paper Profiles

Hi Folks,
I just bought an Epson 2880 printer and also downloaded some Icc paper profiles for it from Epson. On install(double-clicking) on the zipped files all but one of them went through and install process, and now show up when I select printer profiles from within Photoshop CS4. The other just unzipped a file that was put into my downloads folder and says, "colorsync" on it. Where should this Icc profile be placed so it shows up properly in my CS4 profile selections?
Many thanks for any assistance.
Jim

John-Thanks, I thought that was where I should be putting them. After I wrote this note I put the icc profile into my color sync folder and it does show up from within PS 4 as it should.
Thanks again for your help.
Jim

iTunes places the .ipsw file here:
OSX:
~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
7 &Vista:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
Find and delete any and all .ipsw files on your computer. There should only be one, but delete all that you find. Next, disable ALL firewalls & security software on your computer. Connect your phone, iTunes running & restore from backup. Follow this by syncing your content back to your phone.
This will force iTunes to re-download the .ipsw file, as I suspect yours is corrupt.

I can't seem to get my iPod touch (4th Gen) to play photo slideshows or videos through my TV. Is this a design flaw? Or is it me? My old iPod used to do it no problem, but now I can't even find any video out options in the settings.
