Photoshop CS4 11.0.2. Epson stylus R3000 Compatability Issue

Due to financial constraints, I am still using Photoshop CS4 11.0.2. I am printing on an Epson stylus R3000 and cannot get it to recognize any of the listed profiles for Epson Archival Matte papers or similar. The printer seems to recognize I am trying to print using a different printer profile (Epson R3000 Archival Matte) but after attempting to recognise that communication, just feeds the paper straight out. I think there's a communication issue between Photoshop and printer. It's not the printer as the same thing occurs on a different printer too. Any ideas. I'm going frantic!

I think the would be a OS configuration problem. What OS are you using. If Windows can you use the start button Devices and Printers see your Epson printer click adjust print options and see the profiles in the dialog Also in the control Panel there is a color management applet that show what profiles are associated with devices. Herewhat I see on my Windows system.

I have a color management problem. I have OS X v 10.5, Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, and an Epson Stylus Photo R800. I want to print images I have scanned on a Epson Perfection 1660 Photo and corrected in Photoshop and get the colors accurate.

Photoshop CS4 Verknüpfung zum Epson Scan herstellen

Hallo, ich habe auf meinem neuen PC mit Win7 64bit, Photoshop CS4 und mein Epson V700 Scanner installiert.
Der Scanner mit der passenden Software funktioniert ohne Probleme.
Wenn ich jedoch mit CS4 Bilder importieren möchte, wird die falsche Software geöffnet.
Unter /Importieren/WIA Unterstützung wird der Canon Scanner und der Epson Scanner aufgelistet.
CS4 öffnet beim Canon Scanner, die Canon Software
und beim Epson Scanner auch die Canon Software.
Ich möchte die Fotos aber mit der Epson Software einlesen, wie bitte kann ich eine Verknüpfung einbinden?
Unter CS2 hatte ich dieses Problem nicht.
Danke für Infos.

Importieren/WIA Unterstützung
Warum dieses? Der Fehler liegt im System. Ganz offensichtlich paßt die Treibersoftware eben doch nicht. Photoshop selbst kann nur TWAIN direkt steuern, WIA ist halt Windows. Da mußt du schon an andere Stelle mal nachforschen, welcher Treiber nun der richtige ist und wie die sich untereinander vertragen. Auf jeden Fall als Minsdestanforderung mal in der Systemsteuerung nach Bevorzugte Geräte unter Kamera & Scanner schauen. Kann sein, dass es immer auf einen Scanner festgelegt ist. Bei USB-Geräten reicht es auch manchmal schon, die an einen anderen Bus zu stecken, also einen Scanner hinten und den anderen an der Vorderseite, damit die Treiber sich nicht in die Quere kommen....

Epson Stylus Photo R800 issues

I have just installed Mac OSX 10.5, Leopard on a G5 2.7Ghz DP tower (OSX 10.4.11, Tiger still on an alternate drive in the computer). I installed on a new drive and used Migration Assistant to move all my personal data and settings. I use an Epson Stylus Photo R800 inkjet printer.
I am not sure if I have an Epson or an OSX issue.
In Tiger I was able to select “Stylus Photo R800 (Manual Feed)” and “Stylus Photo R800 (Sheet Feeder – Borderless)” as additional printers to use for Print CD and printing true borderless 6”x4” photos, but in Leopard I cannot “find” these choices, neither can I find a way to “Add Printer” as I could in Tiger. I have looked for new drivers etc. and nothing helps. Using Epson’s Print CD selecting the “Print” pull-down menu to choose “Epson Print CD” brings up the “paper out or incorrect output tray position” message—the statement not being true.
What am I missing? I notice that the hierarchy, folders, files etc., appear vastly different in Tiger and Leopard and am afraid to “manually relocate” any items! Can anyone please show me or describe for me how to add these very necessary selections in Leopard?
Any expert help will be sincerely appreciated.

Thanks for your support-- you are correct Epson did not solve my problem. Over time, none of my several printing issues have been solved by Epson . Self-help and Forums have been my best solutions. Once Again I discovered the answer myself. The menu options have been moved around in Leopard compared to Tiger. In "EPSON PrintCD" you now go to Print..., choose Page Setup and unlike Tiger when you choose "US letter" under Paper Size, pulled down to US Letter, there is now a side menu that pops up and allows you to choose US letter(Manual Feed). This takes care of the CD printing problem. Though I haven't tried it as yet, I think that under this new "Paper Size" menu choosing "4x6 ( borderless)" will solve my borderless printing problem!
Sorry I can't shed any light on your particular issues

Photoshop CS4 Extended Windows 7 Epson XP310 Printing Problem

I went through the resetting preference file as most of the solutions suggest. But put my preferences back because it made no difference.
Photoshop print dialogue comes up fine when I'm printing a .jpg, or a .psd photograph in photoshop. The print dialogue box shows the correct printer, and it prints the picture.
I set up an avery label template so I could design labels in photoshop, and even if the template has been finished and changed to a .jpg, the "before you can perform printer related tasks such as page setup or printing a document you need to install a printer . . ." message appears at page setup or print.
I CAN open the document in Adobe 9 Professional, save it as a pdf, or save it as a pdf in photoshop or a .tiff and it prints fine in Adobe 9. Still won't print in Photoshop.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance . . .

Mac Pro to Epson Stylus NX420 printing issue

I have not been able to print from my Mac to my Epson printer. Network status on printer report shows everything passed (password, wireless network name, communication mode check, etc.) yet when I try to print, message I receive is "printer not connected"??? help

Longshot because my issue is with a PC and an epson printer. But I recently needed to uninstall and reinstall the epson software. You might try doing that.
I was having issues printing wirelessly, both from my laptop and my ipad/ipod. It started working after I uninstalled/reinstalled the software. I also didn't install the e-print and webprint. Don't know if that's a factor or not, but if you choose to reinstall you may want to do it in stages.

Trouble with photoshop(cs4) manages colours

Hello there. I have callibrated my printer, and have callibrated my monitor monthly over the three months since I purchased my Color Munki. I have set up a printer profile that I want to use. I have CS4 and using a "two up view" for soft- proofing, the copy to be printed (on screen) was at first rather dull with a green cast and with blacks greyed off compared to the master copy and very difficult to match the master even closely. The prints were passable after a lot of fiddling but not as good as I had hoped even compared to prints I produced before I used my own printer- paper profile .. However recently the prints have got even worse. They are really, really dark when printed even though they dont look so on screen.They also still have the colour cast etc. I have been selecting "no color management' in the printer dialogue along with the printer- paper profile. I have had to resort to using "Printer manages colour" and a generic printer paper profile again as I used to do. I am getting far better prints with good colour matches this way so it would seem that there is nothing wrong with the printer. I have concluded that it must be a problem with the colour management in my CS4 Photoshop. I have an Epson Stylus photo 1410 printer, a Dell flat screen U2410 monitor and a nikon D90 camera. I feel so disappointed after forking out for the Color Munki etc hoping to get really top class prints. .I would really appreciate some advice.

You have to make sure you have configured everything to work together - i.e., to make the printer driver expect that Photoshop is going to do the color transform.
However, there were some posts last year implying people with Epson printers were seeing "double profiling" - meaning somehow two color transforms were being invoked, and they couldn't turn the behavior off. I think at least some people just broke down and bought new printers, as Epson apparently would not fix the drivers to work properly with Photoshop CS5.
I don't know whether yours might fall under the same issue, but you could double check with Epson.com and see if there have been any newer drivers released for your model.

Can I merge Photoshop CS6 with extended into Photoshop CS4 or CS5 will work together ?

Can I merge Photoshop CS6 with extended into Photoshop CS4 or CS5 will work together ?

Versions of Photoshop have different installation trees and user preferences. You do not merge Photoshop versions. Each version is independent. When you install newer versions of Photoshop the are options to migrate your presets and Preferences. You can start and use any version installed on your machine. For the most part newer version of Photoshop are backwards compatible with older versions of Photoshop. However some changes Adobe make to Photoshop change user interfaces and and the way Photoshop performs some functions these changes break some user actions, scripts and user work-flows. In fact all the version you listed CS4, CS5 and CS6 have comparability issues. In that respect Photoshop CC is not any better it has compatibility issues.
Newer versions of Photoshop have new functions and updated old function. Older versions can not handle everything save by newer versions of Photoshop. If you save PSD and PSB files with the maximum compatibility option checked. Older version should be able to open you layer document with layers that look like what was saved though some layer may be altered and may even be a different layer kind then was saved. If you need to support older versions of Photoshop always use the maximum compatibility option.

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.

Photoshop CS3 - Epson Stylus Photo R3000 Color Management Problem

I just purchased an Epson Stylus Photo R3000 to replace my R1800 which finally had print head clogs which could not be fixed. I had some christmas photos that I wanted to print and when I attempt to print one particular image I am getting inconsistent and incorrect results. When I print from Photoshop using Photoshop Manages Colors and selecting SPR3000 Premium Glossy to print on my Epson glossy paper the image comes out much too dark. If I print the same image from Aperture using Aperture manages colors and the same profile the print is lighter and closer to my calibrated monitor but a blue shirt is still too purple. To get the print correct I must use "Printer manages color", use Colorsync in the printer and select the SPR3000 Premium Glossy profile.
I downloaded the PDI_Target_AdobeRGP image from George Ballard's website and printed it both with photoshop managing colors and printer manages colors. The two images are close but the photoshop manages color printing method results in a print which is a little too dark while the printer manages color selection is almost perfect.
I have never had this problem before and have always head excellent results using Photoshop Manages Color. I suspect that perhaps the profile supplied by Epson has a problem.
I am using OSX 10.8.2, Mountain Lion. My monitor is recently calibrated using a Spyder 3.
Does anyone have suggestions regarding fixing or diagnosing this problem?

I take it you are seeing "Photoshop Manages Color" in the print dialog box? Epson drivers are pretty good, so I'm not surprised you are getting somewhat better results with "Printer Manages Color". The key is to apply the RGB and CMYK profiles used in Photoshop in the driver dialogs. For instance, if you've set the RGB work space in Photoshop for Adobe RGB, then ( I would ) use the same profile in the driver. Some images perform well in sRGB; but I typically stay away from sRGB because of its limited color gamut. I've used "Colorsync" in the print dialogs, but there are several other options you can try to get closer. The Blues and Reds you see on screen will sometimes not be able to be printed with certain printers because of their limitations. However, you've said you didn't have problems before and now with this new printer you are seeing new problems. Try contacting Ballard again and see if he has any recommendations. He might even be able to calibrate that printer for you. Or, try a third party calibration service like ColorHQ.com. If you apply an RGB profile in Photoshop, like the Adobe RGB profile, then you are somewhat having Photoshop manage color in the application. By selecting "Let Printer Manage Color" in the print dialog, you are telling the driver to honor the color coming out of Photoshop and you can confirm that by selecting Adobe RGB in the print dialogs. I would experiment with all of the RGB profiles ( Colormatch, ProPhoto, Adobe RGB, and sRGB ) to see which one performs the best using the print driver.

Epson Stylus Pro 9800 errors on 32-bit Windows 7 with Adobe CS4

Epson Stylus Pro 9800 errors on 32-bit Windows 7 with Adobe CS4
Question: We are experiencing some major errors with printing to our Epson Stylus 9800 Pro. Some of our large files are spooling about 16K, then crashing Photoshop. Sometimes we are getting partial prints (the left most 3-4 inches of print, or the file starting to print about 1/2 way into the file itself), sometimes it just spools for a few minutes, then stops, with nothing coming from the printer at all.
At Epson's request, we have tried the following:
reinstalling Windows 7 print driver
Reinstalling Adobe CS 4
Installed NEW NIC in printer
Installed new network line to printer
Installed new main board on printer
Printed from a PC directly connected to printer via USB and crossover cable
This issue is very bizarre in that it is random and sporatic. Same file will cause one of the above errors, then, another attempt to print same file will be successful. We have several Windows 7 machines that get the issue, while several Windows XP machines are fine. Epson instructed us to install the newest (win7) driver on the XP machines, issue then affects XP machines. Uninstalling new driver and re-installing old driver on XP machines resolves issue on XP machines.
Is this an issue with the Epson driver? CS4 on Windows 7? Or some other malady?

Does anyone know how to fix this?

What EXACT version of Photoshop CS4 are you running? You should be on Photoshop CS4 v 11.0.2.
Also run Apple's software update to see whether it offers you the latest Epson update:
Printer Driver v9.33
Epson Stylus Pro 3880, Drivers & Downloads - Technical Support - Epson America, Inc.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: have Photoshop re-create its own Preferences:
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by manually deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here:

More on Photoshop CS4 and Epson print drivers

I just got my Epson Stylus Pro 7900 with the SpectroProofer option. One thing the SpectroProofer enables is bypassing everything to talk to the printer directly. I made up a sample target (based on Bill Atkinson's RGB 5x12 Hues Target) and printed/measured this with the SpectroProofer. I then took the output printed by the SpectroProofer and measured this manually with MeasureTool and my Eye-One Pro (Rev B ). The average/worst correlation was 1.00/2.02 Delta E 2000, good enough for me given two different instruments and the SpectroProofer patches are a tad narrow for the Eye-One.
I then printed the same target with Photoshop CS3 and No Color Management and this compares well with the SpectroProofer output (0.69/1.90). So I have confidence that CS3 is passing the data directly.
I then printed the target again with Photoshop CS4 and No Color Management, same driver settings and get a CS3/CS4 difference of 3.22/10.25. I repeated the CS4 readings and get 3.21/10.29.
The odd man out here is CS4. The differences between the CS3 and CS4 printouts (remember both with No Color Management) are clearly visible. GIven that the Epson 7900 drivers are brand spanking new, I'm not expecting architectural changes in the short term so I plan to stick with CS3 for profiling/printing.

Essentially, with the newer Leopard APIs, the recommended approach is for a printer driver to register its printer profiles to the system (i.e., Leopard). That is, the driver needs to provide a default profile to Leopard so that Leopard can provide the appropriate color matching. The default profile provided usually is a function of the color mode (e.g., RGB color or black-and-white), media type, resolution, etc.
CS4 was updated to use the newer printing APIs (a requirement moving forward) and hence relies on the driver providing the correct default profile.
If the driver doesn't do this, then Leopard will provide its own default profile, which is obviously not the correct printing profile and will have the side effect of making prints appear too dark and possibly with a strong color cast.
(BTW, this is exactly what was going on with some Canon iPF printers recently with many users blaming Adobe for introducing printing bugs in CS4, when the real issue was the driver not correctly providing the default profile to Leopard. The issue was resolved a couple of days ago when Canon released an updated driver.)
The problem appears to be Leopard indeed, ironically because CS4 was
optimized for Leopard, while early versions are not.
The solution/workaround has worked for several users already, and it's certainly easy to implement.

Printing with Photoshop CS4 with Older Epson Printers

I am looking at upgrading to Snow Leopard, but having had some trouble with Leopard and CS4 working well with my older Epson printers (Stylus Pro 4000 and Stylus 1280) I am somewhat hesitant. Has it been established that the older Epson printers are fully supported by Snow Leopard?

I am about to install CS4 with OS 10.5.8. Before I get in to a new set of issues, I thought I would post what currently is working for me with CS3. I have been using Gutenprint 5.2.4 to print to my ancient but beloved Epson Pro 9500. When I first tried Gutenprint 5.2.4 with the basic settings, the prints were washed out and pink.It took me two weeks of trial and error in terms of tweaking settings, but I am now able to get better prints than with the old Epson driver that only runs in OS 9, using PS7--but I still keep a G4 with true 0S 9 to print photos to maintain consistency with previous printed work that has been editioned and sold. What forced my move to OS X and Gutenprint was that new photos that I had worked on in PS CS3 and then opened in PS7 did not print--or rather, lost info and then printed as dark green, which others have mentioned elsewhere in discussions of OS and software compatibility issues. Photos that were originally worked on in PS CS2 or earlier are still printing just fine, so in my case at least it appears to be a compatibilty issue between different versions of the PS software that is producing the green. For good info on what all the Gutenprint settings do, see http://osdir.com/ml/linux.printing.gimp-print.devel/2006-01/msg00035.html
You have to let the printer control the process, not Photoshop.
