PHOTOSHOP AND EPSON 3800, HELP!!

I bought a Epson Stylus 3800 4 months ago, everything was working perfectly, but since 2 weeks (I don't remember doing something special) when I print an image this dialog box appear just when use the button PRINT "Some postscript specific settings (Interpolation, calibration, encoding) will be ignored since you are printing to a non-postscript printer". And now my photos are darker and the colors looks awful. I have an exibition in two months and this is a nightmare... Someone having an idea???

No, this is not a new driver. As per the Epson description I posted, this driver was made available on 9/18/08. If you read it carefully, the blurb also indicates the driver (technically ver. 6.11), is compatible with SL.
I'm out of my pricey Epson paper but I just ran a test using some old Heavyweight Matte I had laying around. Seems to print fine and produced a fairly accurate print - especially considering I used a mismatched Epson canned profile.
When you install SL, you have the option to install Rosetta - I did but as far as I know, nothing is running through Rosetta during the print process. The installer file has the option to run through Rosetta with Get Info, but I didn't enable it.
I installed SL the same way I always install a new OS - on a (wiped), test drive keeping my production drive completely in tact. I install apps from scratch and configure everything a little at a time. If I run into problems, my production system is a reboot away - no bleeding edge here. :-)

CS5 and Epson 3800. Prints Too Dark.

I've seen old posts about this, but nothing recent with this configuration of software and OS:
After years of printing successfully with my Epson 3800 from a PC, I recently switched to a Mac (Mac OS X 10.6). I am using Photoshop CS 5.
Despite many iterations of monitor calibration trying different settings, my prints are consistently about 2 stops too dark. I'm very vexed.
What is the latest information about this and how do I resolve this?
Thank you.

10.6.7 Upgrade and Epson 3800

Having difficulty reestablishing connection with my Epson 3800 after upgrading to 10.6.7. I have downloaded the Common Updater 7.0 and the Printer Driver 6.6, installed both, still cannot print. When I open Print Preferences and select the 3800, select Option and Supplies, and then select the Drive tab, it displays "The driver for this printer can not be changed." The exact error message I receive after attempting to print is "Error:/System/Library/Printers/Printjobmgr/Contents/MacOS/Printjobmgr Failed."
Has anyone experience the same issue and, if so, can you share with me how you rectified this?
Thank you.
Rich G.

Try resetting the printing system.
How to Reset the Printing System
1. Open System Preferences > Print & 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
This will remove your print queues but not your printer drivers. So you will only need to add your print queues again.

Leopard and Epson 3800

Like most folks using Leopard and trying to print on an Epson 3800, I have lost most of the printing functions that should be available on a printer of that calibre. So much for my brand new Mac Pro, and my almost brand new Epson. However, with Tiger loaded on my MacBook Pro, the printer works just as it should. I really don't want to downgrade the Mac Pro from Leopard to Tiger, and I'm wondering if I can somehow link the Macbook to the Mac Pro in target disk mode, and print from there. Alternatively, I have three hard drives on the Mac Pro and I'm also wondering if I can load Tiger into one of them, and print from that drive. Has anyone tried either of these alternatives, and if one works, can you walk me through it? Any thoughts on this pesky problem would be appreciated (and, yes, I have read most of the threads I can find). Thanks.
Andy.

I am having the same Error:-9672 issue with my networked SPro 3800 Pro Edition and my PowerMac G5 running newly installed Leopard. I'm at a loss and a little confused. In order to work backwards as some of you suggest, how do I delete the new PPDs? Where do I find them in the Printers folder and what are they called? I just downloaded the Printer Driver v3.5cE and can't find what it loads. I want to go back to the older PPD and see if that works. If that doesn't I might try the Euro version. Is that a Beta version?
My issue is also Express won't see any PPDs in the print window even after all the updates. Depending on the printer selected it is ether grayed out or I can only select Generic versions.
Has anybody spoken to AppleCare?

Photoshop and cropping. Help!

Hello,
I have a problem with cropping images. I have about 2,000 photos that I cropped to the size of 80x60, 100x80, etc. Unfortunately, my actions do not help because some of the pictures are larger and some smaller. Some images are not properly trimmed or cut off. I would like to X-axis and Y framing the left side of that is the point 0 there is a beginning and it was matched to the height of the image then the right side of the picture would be cropped.
Does anyone know how to do? You need to write a script or some special action?

If you have the original un-cropped images you can design a process to do whatever. If not what has been cropped off is gone.

Problem printing with Epson 3800 and Photoshop CS5

I came across a problem trying to print with my Epson 3800 in Photoshop CS5. I recently upgraded to Photoshop CS 5 (and Lightroom 3). I tried to print using my Epson 3800 with CS5 but could not adjust Print Settings, Color Mamagement, Paper Configuration, Expand Border because those options are unavailable and there is a line crossing through them. I get a message that says "The bundle 'Print Setting' could not be loaded because it does not contain a version for the current architecture". It then says to contact the creator listed here for the latest version: PrintSetting version 3.57, Copyright SEIKO EPSON CRP 2001-2006. I can print through Photoshop CS4 as usual, but CS5 is a problem. I haven't tried printing though Lightroom 3 yet, and have not typically used Lightroom to print, but I wonder if that will be a problem too?
Any help will be appreciated.

If you run CS5 or LR as a 32bit application you will have all these option available to you. You can then save these options as presets that can then be applied when you are running the applications in 64bit mode even if you can not access them individually.
Also you might want to check Epson's download site especially the European site to see if there are newer drivers or updates for your printer. The newest drivers for other printers like the 7600/9600 support application running in 64bit mode.

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.

Image printing problem with Photoshop and Lightroom specifically with 11X14 cuts off top of image and moves bottom border up. Windows 7 OS - Epson Printer is working properly.

Have an unprecedented problem with printing 11X14 photos in both PS and Lightroom. The printer is operataing properly. Printing 81/2X11 correctly. Have double and triple checked all the printing settings and they are correct. Have checked with friends to no avail. This problem started yesterday. Widows 7 OS. Need help.

You show the OS receiving an image from Photoshop, and the OS starting the Epson print driver and handing it part of the image, the driver connects to the printer, then the print driver fails. It looks like a bug in the Epson rasterizer, or the printer communication.
You really need to talk to Epson. Photoshop isn't involved in that error.

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
System: Windows 7
Adobe CS5
Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
Epson driver up to date
After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling: Printer manages color. Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create?
Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
I hope this may help...............

Photoshop CS5 and Epson 9900, Win 7, 64bits

Hi,
I recently upgraded from photoshop cs3 to cs5 and now all of my prints on epson 9900 large format printer come out too dark. The same pictures printed with cs3 look good but not on cs5. How can I fix it? Is there a patch for this issue on Adobe website? Just to clarify: same image printed on CS3 looks good but printed with CS5 looks too dark. It can't be the printer driver issue since there is one driver for both version of Photoshop (6.62, most recent).
I have Photoshop CS5 and Epson 9900, Windows 7, 64bits.
I have "Photoshop manages colors" selected and "no color management" for printer - I know the proper set up, I've been doing this for quite some time, so it's definitely not the settings issue or media profile issue. Well, the same settings are use with CS3 and CS5 but results are different, that's why I think it's photoshop's fault. If I can't print color managed prints than CS5 is useless to me.
Any ideas? I have seen post reg. this but no solution and they go back few years back. Has Adobe finally addressed the issue?
Please, help.

Hi Chris,
I have the latest patch 12.0.4 but it does not solve the problem. What kind of "user error" are you talking about? As I stated before: I use the same settings in both version of PS: photshop manages color, printer profile: my canvas media profile, BPC: on. In print settings: mode: custom (off, no color adjustment), media type: my canvas type. There is no room for "user error" here.
As for driver bugs: are you referring to Epson driver? I have the latest driver v6.62. What else can I do? Did i skip something?
Well, of course I'm using Windows (64bits), so I guess there is lots of room for error there, right , but I don't think it's OS since it prints fine in CS3 but not in CS5.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Barbara Brundage, can you help with PS Elements 11 and Epson R2000 printer issue?

Seeking help with PS Elements 11 which does not work with Epson r2000 printer. Epson tech support could not fix, said it is PS e11 problem. Receive prompt on PS e11 screen when I try to print stating "not compatible or settings are not correct. Have set PS to manage color and printer manages color to off. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

Hi,
Sincerely appreciate your help. Running Windows 7 on a Dell XPS420. System has been very stable for years. Before purchasing the Epson r2000, I owned an r1800 which was an excellent printer but after seven years started to exhibit paper feed problems. The r1800 worked with all applications and I was well satisfied with the saturation, contrast, etc. printing mostly 8x10 and 11x17 prints.
Thank you for the information about the # of installs for PS E11, will try uninstall/reinstall this morning.
Will let you know how things go.
Richard

Photoshop CS3 and Epson R2400

Since I installed Leo on my Mac Pro, my R2400 will not work as it used to. I can not access the printers option menu where I can setup the paper, printer resolution, etc. When I am printing out of photoshop CS3 I will only get a standard printer menu provided by Mac OS and not by epson. I can´t change any settings and the prints come out terrible. I use the latest Epson driver - 6.12 - but nothing works as it should. Does anybody experience the same problems or might have a solution for this? I got plenty of print jobs to do before christmas! Thank you for any hints ... Jochen, Germany

Jochen,
I managed to get my 2400 printing OK now. I spent a completely wasted hour e-talking to Epson UK Support yesterday. They offered nothing useful and spent all the time telling me to do obvious things, which was very frustrating. Then I decided to go back to basics. I ditched all the personalised settings in all the print dialogue boxes and tried printing with only basic settings. I had professional print profiles for each of my papers and printers, but none of these will now work and I think that they were the crux of the problem.
This is what I did:
Step 1 - I turned off my printer. After ditching the entire Epson folder from the library and restarting Leopard, I downloaded the current Mac drivers from the Epson Support website and started by reinstalling the 2400 from scratch. I turned on my printer. I ran the downloaded installer and then went into Apple/Preferences/printers and faxes and removed the 2400 that leopard had installed with the gutenburg driver. I then installed the 2400 again through this screen and checked that the downloaded Epson 6.12 driver had installed. It had.
Step 2 - I went to page set-up for the photo I wanted to print in Photoshop CS3 and in Format For: I selected Epson Stylus Photo R2400 and in paper size: I selected A4 (sheet feeder - borderless) and clicked OK
Step 3 - I selected File/print. In Printer I selected Epson Stylus Photo R2400. In colour handling I selected Printer Manages Colour and in Rendering Intent I selected Relative Colorimetric. The I pressed the Print button.
step 4 - I then pressed Proceed in the larger than paper dialogue box taht then appeared and this closed.
Step 5 - This brings you to the Epson Printer Dialogue box. I selected the Print Settings section and selected Premium Glossy Photo paper as the Media Type. In colour settings I selected Epson Standard (sRGB). and selected the Advanced radar button below and best photo as the print quality. When I pressed print I got a good quality print....and it seems to work every time now!
I have also tried this with my Epson 950 and it also works. In fact I am getting better prints with this one than I was before Leopard!
Don't ask my why it is working this way. I don't know. I used to let Photoshop CS3 manage the colour using my profiles, but this will not work now. I suspect that as my profiles were done in tiger they are Tiger dependent. I will contact my supplier next week and discuss this with him. I am still disappointed that I seem to have lost complete control over my printing and blame Apple and Epson in equal measure. From my "discussions" with Epson support it is clear that their "fix" is aimed at the amateur user and not those requiring control over the production phase!
I hope this helps.
David
