PC running Windows 7 with Photoshop Elements 7 printing to an EPSON Stylus PHOTO R1800

Please help!  I am an amateur photographer. This printer produced excellent photos until my old PC died. I just bought a new Dell XPS 9000 with Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 and connected my printer. The photos look terrible.  Clearly, the PC and Printer are not working together properly (syncronized COLOR wise). To consistently obtain the best, life-like colors in my pictures, what do I need to do?  WHICH (Photoshop Elements or the Epson) should manage the color, and what settings should I use?  Each has a setting to allow the other to control the color.  Which will produce the best photos? I have tried many different combinations of settings without success. All of my photos come out brownish yellow. I am feeling desperate. I am an older,retired person with a limited understanding of computers, so I need simple,detailed,step-by-step instructions on how to correct this problem.  Thank you.

This might be helpful.

    Also, how to find that tutorial?

  • PRINTING Fto my epson stylus photo r1800 - pictures are dark

    I have the MACPRO BOOK 1.1 , os 10.4.11
    i have been using IPHOTO 8 for a while (bought it last summer 2007. i have just noticed
    that when i print pix they are dark - yet IPHOTO page is perfect, and when i use my PC to
    print the same pix to the EPSON printer (r1800) pix is fine
    What's going on? Do i have a setting wrong.?
    i read in one of your forums a brief note about
    IPHOTO likes SRGB settings, so i changed the setting on my computer to read: EPSON SRGB
    - still not working, and i can't remember how i did this. need
    HELP - this is why i got a MAC, it's supposed to be smarter.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Check your monitor calibration and set the gamma to 2.2, adjust a photo to the brightness you like and print a test. See if that works.
    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) 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), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. 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.

  • Problem with Photoshop Elements Printing

    I have been using Photoshop Elements for a couple of years now and know it pretty well.  Today while attempting to print, a strange problem came up:  After going through the protocol to make a print, just before the image prints PE does a very fast auto correction that basically ruins all the color correction I have made on the image.  How do I disable this function?

    Hi and thanks for your reply. I checked the settings under "Print", "More Options", then "Color Management" and it only has "Print Space", none of the three options that you said I should have.  Am I looking in the wrong place?

      Check your color management by clicking More Options in the print dialog There are basically three options:1) Printer Manages Color2) Elements Manages color3) No color Management Make sure everything is consistent e.g. if you choose Elements manages color make sure color management is switched off in the print driver.

  • Print quality on Epson Stylus Photo R800

    Hi...
    I'm using Lightroom 3.6 and an Epson Stylus Photo R800. This printer is capable of printing very high quality pictures, as I know by using it for almost 5 years.
    I have bought Lightroom about 6 month ago. I have tried anything I can think off to get those fabulus pictures out of my Epson printer. I alterd color managment settings, changed print resolutions, downloaded new printerdriver, ... Nothing works. Print quality when printing from Lightroom is very poor. Bad colors (dark), stripes over the whole image, it looks like nothing realy.
    One of the things that I noticed is that the maximum resolution for printing in LR is 720 ppi. My Epson is capable of 1550 ppi.
    I see a lot of discussion going about print quality with lightroom... I think however this is a more basic problem. My print qualiti is realy very very bad...
    Does anyone have similar problems or (even better) a hint to a solution?
    Note,
    When I export a picture to .jpg format (I shoot in RAW only), and print this directly from Windows, I do get the perfect picture a was used to... I cannot believe that Lightroom is unable to do the same.
    Thanks!
    Erik.

    Sorry for calling you 'Frank' Frans...

  • Epson Stylus Photo R1800 on Linksys Printer server

    hi, I'm currently running Tiger 10.4.11 on my power book G4 and trying to connect to a network printer on a Linksys Print Server (PSUS4). The printer connected to the server is an Epson Stylus Photo R1800.
    I'm able to print perfectly from my computer via USB direct, but when I try to find the printer as a network printer I can't locate it.
    The print utilities finds the location of printer from the Linksys server, but none of my drivers are coming up that are compatible to the printer when it finds it like that.
    When the printer is turned on the print browser cannot find it at all, but when it's turned off the browser comes up with the name Linsys gave it to be discovered. It says it's connected via AppleTalk, but when I click on it to try to add the driver doesn't come up. BUT it's the correct driver when I connect manually.
    What am I doing wrong? I was on the phone with tech support for an hour and 24 minutes only to be told (when transferred to a specialist) that they aren't trained for this kind of thing, neither is Linksys (who I spoke to for 30 minutes). I read the thread on the similar issue to this and don't think that it's a driver issue, but a print server issue, what do you think??
    thanks for any help.
    -melissa

    Driver issue - the driver provided by Epson was written for USB only (well, maybe Firewire too for the 1800). You will have to use either the Gutenprint driver or the printfab driver for network printing:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3

    Sounds like your print server will work via appletalk -- but, if you want to try IP printing, don't forget to enter the correct queue name for the LPD and IPP protocols.

  • 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.

  • Problem using Print CD on Epson Stylus Photo RX700

    I recently installed OS 10.5.1 (leopard) on my iMac (intel core duo) and my Epson Stylus Photo RX700 all-in-one printer appears to be working okay, except when I try to use the Print CD application, I get a message "Epson printer driver dealing with CD printing is not installed". I tried downloading updates from the epson.com site ( 1- Epson Easy Print v3.1bA for intel, 2- TWAIN Driver & Epson Scan Utility v3.02A, 3- Printer Driver v3.0aAS), but I still get the same message. Any suggestions? -Don

    You need to add the Epson drivers from the OS X Install disk. Below is what Epson sent me. Note that when you re-add the Printers, there no longer is a Printer Set Up Utility, go into Preferences > Print & Fax and do it from there. Worked for me. Good Luck.
    REMOVE FILES
    1.  Double click on the MAC HARD DRIVE.
    2.  Double click on the LIBRARY folder.
    3.  Double click on the PRINTERS folder.
    4.  Drag the EPSON folder to the trash can.
    5.  Close any open windows.
    6.  Double click on the MAC HARD DRIVE.
    7.  Double click on the LIBRARY folder.
    8.  Double click on the RECEIPTS folder.
    9.  Delete any EPSON receipts.
    10. Close all open windows and restart your computer.
    REINSTALL THE EPSON DRIVER PACKAGE
    1. Insert your Mac OS X 10.4 Install disc. Open CD when it appears on the
    desktop.
    2. Find and double-click on the Optional Installs.mpkg.
    3. After the installer opens, choose the following custom install options:
      -Check PRINTER DRIVERS and use arrow next to this entry to expand this
    category.
      -Check EPSON below the PRINTER DRIVERS heading. (You do not need to
    install other manufacturer's packages.)
    4. Click INSTALL (or UPGRADE) and follow prompts to reinstall the resident
    Epson printer driver package. Remove the OS CD and then restart the
    computer after installation is complete.
    READD THE PRINTER
    1. Go into HD > Applications > Utilities and open the Printer Setup
    Utility. The PRINTER LIST window appears.
    2. Highlight and delete any existing references to your Epson printer. (If
    you want to be thorough and do not have any other printers on the Mac,
    choose PRINTER SETUP UTILITY from the top of the screen and RESET PRINTING
    SYSTEM. Confirm resetting the system. This clears any existing printer
    entries and queues. If you have other printers on the Mac and use this
    reset, you will need to readd them later.)
    3. Turn the printer OFF and back ON to make the Mac redetect it and add it
    to the list automatically. (Do not change the PRINT USING field. Selecting
    EPSON here would add a GIMP Print driver which does not support all of the
    functions of the resident Epson driver. Epson does not support or recommend
    these third party drivers.)
    4. If you have other printers on the list, make the Epson entry the
    default.
    5. Close the Printer Setup Utility and try a test print from any OS X-based
    application.
    *NOTE: If the printer does not show up on the list, it may mean a lack of
    detection. Ensure the printer is online (no red error lights) and connected
    directly to the Mac. Try moving the cable end to other USB ports, if need
    be. If you have not done so already, you can also try resetting the Printer
    Setup Utility, as described above.
    If you are working with a printer model which supports borderless and/or
    roll paper printing options, you will be able to select these options in
    the program you are printing from as you set up your print job.
    1. Once you have an image or file open, go to File > Page Setup.
    2. For FORMAT FOR select the Epson printer name (rather than ANY PRINTER)
    3. Select the appropriate Paper Size. If your printer supports different
    layout features, each paper size will have several different options. For
    example, the 4x6 paper size will have an arrow pointing right which offers
    choices of 4x6 Borderless, 4x6 Standard-Minimize Margins, etc. Pick the
    paper type plus layout/margin option you want to use here.
    4. Click OK on Page Setup. You are now ready to print.

  • CD printer driver for Epson Stylus Photo R265

    Just bought an Intel iMac 20" together with a Epson Stylus photo R265. It should print CD's and DVD's but, every time I try to print these, it tells me that the CD printer driver has not been installed.
    After reinstalling the drivers from the cd which came together with the printer it still didn't print CD's. Also installing the drivers from the Epson website didn't do the job.
    After discussing this problem with people from the Epson helpdesk, they answered that the CD printing feature only works on powermacs and that Rosetta should do the trick on Intel based Macs. Knowing that Rosetta operates automatically in OS 10.4.8, this answer was unsatisfying.
    I now consider to buy a Canon printer but I am not sure if these printers (cd printer drivers) have the same problem with Intel based Macs.
    Does anyone know a proper solution?

  • Anyone had trouble with photoshop elements printing to wrong printer when you have lots of printers connected (windows 7)

    I have a number of printers connected to one computer via USB/Network
    Epson 9600
    Epson 7800
    Epson 1500
    Canon Pro MkII
    HP laserjet 4650
    regardless of what printer is selected it tries to print to the epson 9600
    Originally this started happening on PSE12, so i thought it maybe fixed in upgrade so i bought PSE13, and performed a fresh install - no difference.
    so i used a new harddrive, reinstalled windows and then PSE13, it was ok for a few weeks, but now its done the same again
    Ive just downloaded the CC trial of "photography" and at present this seems to be working fine.
    Anyone have any ideas what may cause this to happen??

    Suggest as a test to connect one of the printers to USB port on your computer. See what happens when it is out of the network.

  • I upgraded from OS 10.4.11 to 10.6.8 and now cannot print to my Epson Stylus Photo RX595. When I try, I recieve the following error message: Error:/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/PrintJobMgr/Contents/MacOS/PrintJobMgr failed. Is this a driver issue?

    Is my inability to print from my Intel iMac with OS 10.6.8 related to a driver problem? I checked the Epson website for up-to-date drivers, but they appear to only have print drivers good through OS 10.5x. I did the Apple software update yesterday so everything is up-to-date. Is there no support for the Epson RX545 under OS 10.6x?

    When you upgrade from a previous OS there is always a chance that you will bring some setting that is not compatible with the new OS. This can be the driver as noondaywitch suggests but it can also be the core printing system. In the case of the latter, it is a good idea to reset the printing system when a core error occurs. Note that the reset sets the printing system back to default and removes your currently installed printer and scanner queues. But it does not remove the supporting drivers, so you only need to install the driver again.
    How to Reset the Printing System
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Scan/Fax
    2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
    3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
    4. Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
    5. Restart your Mac
    Just one additional thing to note. In checking the supported printer list for 10.6 from Apple, your RC545 is not listed so running the Software Update will not provide you with a driver for this printer. So if Epson does not have a driver for 10.6, and it appears that Apple does not provide one, then what you have already from the previous installation is it. And if this doesn't work, then you may have to look at either an alternate driver or getting another printer. But let's wait and see what happens after the reset.

  • Printer Driver. EPSON Stylus Photo 1280

    Hi, I'm just setting up my printer for use on my MacBook Pro. I initially installed the Printer driver provided by EPSON and had the driver working fine. Afterwards, I setup a home network and am currently accessing the printer through my network. The printer is hooked up to my desktop, which is running XP Pro.
    Now when I try to access my printer through the network, on my MacBook, which i'm running Mac OS X, 10.5.6, I can print, but it is using the OS X software, and I cannot figure out how to the EPSON driver as the driver allows me to use all the quality settings. If anyone can provide any help to me on this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Former Windows users are often dismayed to find out that print drivers on OS X aren't like on Windows. Apple has allowed printer manufacturers to continue using legacy print methods (Carbon) - where whoever writes the driver gets to choose exactly which comm protocol(s) are supported. Your Epson print driver is for USB connection only. Apple has included GutenPrint drivers (new CUPS drivers that can use any comm protocol) to help us print via the CUPS network protocols like Windows Printing. But the Gutenprint drivers aren't provided by Epson and don't have the same options. You might want to try updating your Gutenprint drivers - maybe the newer ones have better option choices.

  • CS4 soft (out of focus) print preview w/Epson Stylus Photo R260

    The print preview and actual printed photo is softer/fuzzier/out of focus compared to the image in Photoshop CS4.  Printer profile SPR260 270 UPGP is being used with Color Controls OFF.
    I have just shifted from CS2 to CS4 and moved from a PC to a Mac Book Pro.  I'm still on the steep part of the learning curve so any help would be greatly appreciated.  This is a new problem had not encountered before with this printer.

    Thank you Ramon.
    The image is 1650 wide by 900 pixels high.  Printing resolution is 300 ppi.
    Print size is 5 1/2" wide by 3" high.
    It is a tiff file.
    OS version is 10.5.7
    The CS4 11.0.1 update has been applied.
    The monitor was just calibrated using a Pantone Eye-One LT.
    Comparing the print preview on the monitor screen with the original image
    also on the screen, the print preview is not quite as sharp as the original
    and is slightly less saturated.
    I checked out the workflow on Gary Ballard's web site and mine follows it.
