Print on CDs with Epson R800

I was able to use 'Epson Print CD' to print on my cd/dvd before but since I pluged the printer in my Airport Extreme, I can't use the Epson Manual feed to print on cds. I tried to plug the printer directly in my PowerBook, delete the Manual driver, but now I can't reinstall the Manual driver.
Is it just not compatible with OS 10.4.4?

I sent an email to Epson and this is their reply, for those who might have the same problem. I was able to install the manual printing driver for my CDs but the manual printing doesn't work when the printer is pluged in the Airport Extreme. It has to be pluged directly to the Mac.

Advanced printing in iPhoto for Epson R800

Using my PC for many years I have been able to other printing options like the type of paper, gloss / no gloss and print quality for my Epson R800 - but can't find them when using my Mac. I'm not impressed with the photo printing from my Mac, so still use my PC for it.
Surely the Mac can handle this - but how do I do it.
Many thanks

Which version iPhoto?
Some used themes and some provide specific printing options
Does your printing dialog look like the image above for Safari?
In iPhoto, expand the pull-down menu that says 'iPhoto' (instead of Safari as an example), then select 'Print Settings'....then select 'Media Type', etc.
If not, either the iPhoto version, or perhaps the driver you are using does not allow those options. Download the newest Epson drivers for Snow Leopard.
The latest version of iPhoto comes with iLife '09.

Trying to print off email with Epson iprint

I am experiencing difficulty printing my emails with Epson iprint. It keeps showing that it cannot find my printer.
any help i would appreciate

I, too, have just heard from an end user about problems when printing a completed form with checkboxes. She uses Acrobat 8 standard. I originally created the forms in Acrobat 8 Pro (have upgraded to 9 and now at X on Windows XP).
What's troubling is she can see the form properly completed on screen, but then sometimes the "checked" checkboxes print but most of the time they do not.
I've seen references in different online sources to font issues too, possibly an old printer drive ... bottomline I need to provide an answer for her so any comments will be most appreciated.
Thank you.

InDesign and printing full bleed with Epson

I have been trying to print in full bleed from InDesign (CS6) on my Epson printer (Photo Stylus 1400). When I preview the artwork it looks fine just as I have set it up, but when I send to print the artwork is being cut off where its not supposed to. I tried to print to my wireless HP printer, in pdf, and jpg format and it still doesn't work. I also tried printing it from Photoshop and Illustrator.
I have a Macbook Pro OS X 10.8.5 with retina display.
If anyone has any solution to this, please let me know! Thanks

Borderless printing is handled by your print driver, which overscales whatever you send to your printer to cover all areas. This has nothing to do with Adobe. You need to find those options in the printer driver and adjust them suitably (if that's possible)

Color control in printing: Aperture mayhem with Epson printer

With monitors calibrated and colorsync profiles loaded for my Epson 1280 printer, Photoshop prints are as close to screen as possible.
Aperture starts off with something strange: each profile for my Epson appears 3X in the menu. When selecting the profile that matches my printer and paper, the result is more than a color cast. It's more like a colorized image. I can get closer by selecting profiles that don't match my paper type, but always with a cast.
Is there a trick to getting Aperture to be reliable and as good as Photoshop?

(These aren't Epson's instructions, but might be helpful regardless)
For some Epson printers, the drivers shipped with Tiger are more current that the ones on the Epson web site. You wouldn't want to delete the drivers, but - for example - if you move from Firewire to USB, or Airport, the system can get confused.
I've found that deleting the Epson printers in Print Center (and resetting the printing subsystem if necessary or deleting and installing drivers) isn't enough, but that you also have to eradicate everything inside
/Library/Printers/EPSON/Preferences/
where it remembers printer models, ports and settings.
In addition, ColorSync remembers your profiles for deleted printers in the (hidden) file
/Library/Preferences/.Globalpreferences.plist
DON'T delete this file, just edit it and get rid of the deleted devices (ColorSyncDevices/Device-prtrxxxx)

Color cast when printing from Lightroom with Epson 3880 printer

Just got an epson 3880 printer. Printing on epson paper is fine. But printing on Ilford or Moab or other papers from lightroom and photoshop have a terrible magenta color cast.
WHen I print the same image from Preview, with the same print driver settings, it looks fine. So somehow the adobe apps (or my settings) are messing up the color sync.
I used to have an espon 2400 which worked just fine.
I have Mac OSX-10.9.1. Monitor is calibrated. (Prints to epson paper with their profiles look great...it's just other profiles that are really bad).
I need help!

Are you using moab icc profiles or are you using one of the epson profiles?
I always use the moab profiles which you can download from their Web site. This way you are matching the specific epson printer with the specific moab paper.
At that point you change the printer manages color to Lightroom manages color and select the specific profile. Very easy to do - they even have instructions on the Moab site for installing the profiles if you haven't done that.
Once installed you can also use them through the system print dialogs in PS but it is really much much easier to use in LR - Since coming on board with LR last summer, I have switched to doing ALL printing from LR. Since you mentioned that you are having the same problem with LR and PS, I'm betting you are using epson profiles and this will solve your problem.
Hope so
Tom

Borderless printing in Tiger with Epson

This has been a nightmare all along. Can anybody tell me how to print borderless with an Epson Stylus Photo RX500 on 4 x 6 inch? In addition to this it seems impossible to print borderless on 5 x 7 inch?
I removed my virtual second borderless printer and now I don't see how to put a new one back.
I am using iPhoto 6 by the way.
In printer utility 'Epson' shows 'gimp print v 5.0 beta 2. What is that about? I've never seen it before. Does this new driver change the way to add a borderless printer?
Many thanks for all your suggestions!

Printing in Word with Epson Artisan 730

I am posting for a friend, so I hope I have enought information. The Epson Artisan 730 seems to be working in MS Word because a document in US letter size prints properly. When I prepared a 16 cm x 23 cm. document and set up the printer as "other sizes" the print preview looks correct but the paper goes through and nothing is printed on it. Has anyone had this problem? Is it in the printer setup or in Word?
She said that her Mac version is OS X 10.9.2. Thanks for any suggestions about things to try.
Nancy

First some people have had problems getting the printer drivers to update via software update, make sure you have the correct drivers as shown in this table.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669
To see what driver you have go to System Preferences > Print and Scan > into the printer utility and under the general tab you'll see the driver version.
To force an update delete the old driver
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15947486#15947486
I just resolved a problem with our Epson Artisan 730 and print quality, turns out the USB drivers and WIFI drivers are VERY different and the USB drivers offer much better quality, more options in the print dialog for quality and color management.
If you already have the correct version of the drivers maybe a mac connected to the printer via USB can share the printer and then you can print with the USB driver. I know that's a pain since that's what we did before we got the 730 with WIFI.

Printing from Lightroom with Epson 3800

I have tried all sorts of things and I can't seem to figure out how to print on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper.
Here's what I'm using.
MAC 10.5.8
Lightroom 2.5
Epson print Driver 6.11
What do I need to do to print what I see in my print window. (see screenshot)
So far my results have been:
1. not centered on the long side (the 11" edge)
2. about 3/8" trimmed off on the leading edge.
I've tried borderless well.

The paper is 8.5 x 11, at least that's what the package says.
It's the Premium Luster Photo Paper 50 pack.
I have tried borderless (Retain size). The results are even worse.
It prints to the edge but also cuts off 3/8" of image on the leading edge.
And the the image is not centred on the 11" side.

Print size problems with Epson R3000 and Mountain Lion

I am using Mountain Lion on a 2008 MBP and an Epson R3000 printer. I can not get prints to size to my paper. In aperture I am choosing custom since there is no option for 11.7X16.5. I have set the print size to the same and still it does not work. I tried both landscape and portrait but that did not work.

My emails do not print full content with Epson DX6000

I can print Pictures and Word documents but email content does not print - even though 'Print Preview' looks OK

To all who have responded to my query - thanks very much. Apparently what was obvious to others was not obvious to me - I did not make the connection that three dots implied a print option, especially since other email functions had their own displayed buttons in outlook. Cheers,

Will my Epson R800 print PSE 8 photos?

I have a new Dell Studio XLS with a new Dell 21.5" monitor. Dell installed my epson R800 and downloaded the correct drivers for Windows7, 64 bit. After editing my photos in PSE, I have tried everything to print an acceptable photo from PSE 8 to the Epson R800. I have always used Photoshop and my last edition was CS3 but it will not run on this computer. I have set everything in PSE and set R800 to use PSE profiles but nothing works. Is PSE 8 compatible with Epson R800 or do I not need a new printer?
Thanks,
redsunset 70

Colin, thank you very much for your reply. I am getting closer but still have a way to go. I plan to purchase a Spyder Express 3 tomorrow locally. It is the least expensive and I hope it will work.
As an experiment today, I placed DVD image of a photo corrected in PS CS3 about 2 years ago. The image looked just great on my new monitor. It had adobe ps 1998 profile. I set the Epson R800 to use the same profile, set the paper as Epson Premium Luster (all I had) and also set to ICM. Results were a little better but still too dark. I did not alter the monitor appearance of this file since it was saved to DVD in 2006. So it should have printed as it did originally with the same R800 printer and no change to the original file.
I hope the Spyder works. I hope Spyder Express 3 that is the least expensive at $89 is of good enough quality to preform properly.
This is the reason I detest changing computers and printers once I finally get both setup. I will try on my Epson 3800 when I receive a new ink cartridge in a few days. Both my Dell Laptop and dimensions 8200 desktop got virusus and the repair personel told me to get a new computer. So here I am with a new Dell Studio XLS 8300, and an Epson R800 and no prints worth saving.

Epson R800 does work well with Snow Leopard

Three machines.
MacPro and MacBook Pro worked from get-go after installation of new Epson drivers (check Epson site for new drivers) with Epson R800 and R1800 on firewire.
Old Intel iMac did not work until I disconnected firewire and tried USB. Then all became sweetness and light. Thanks to a suggestion in this forum.

Some of the previous users had success when they restarted after deleting the /Library/Printers/EPSON and /Library/Caches/Epson folders. You might also try deleting the /Library/Cache folder. There is a solution posted from someone at Epson:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10909012#10909012
Substitute 2880 for RX580:
Make sure that you have completely removed the Stylus Photo RX580 driver, then install the new driver from System Update:

3. Highlight the RX580 printer
4. Click on the ""-"" sign
5. Close Print and Fax
6. Open your Mac's Hard Drive
7. Open the Library Folder
8. Open Printer and delete the EPSON Folder
9. Open the PPDs folder find the Epson Stylus Photo RX580.gz and delete the file
10. Close the PPD and the Printer folder
->11. In the Library folder, open the Caches Folder
->12. Delete the Epson folder
->13. Restart the Mac
14. Power on the printer
15. Click on the Apple Icon and System Update
16. Follow the directions to install the new driver
Hope this helps.

Accurate color print workflow IDCS6 to Epson R2400 w/X-Rite Custom Profiles - Mac OS X 10.8.1?

Hello Folks,
I am trying to get accurate color out of InDesign CS6 on an Epson R2400 using custom created profiles with X-Rite i1 Profiler in Mac OS X 10.8.1. on Epson Papers. Has anyone had luck with this workflow? I am also looking for the same with the Epson R3000.
I have been scouring the web for more than a week for updated info and some insight but have been having a hard time finding solid step by step settings I can follow and get accurate output. I end up with either too light/washed out prints or too dark and saturated prints. I've already blown a complete set of inks and tons of paper and time toiling with this one.
I'm looking first for how to verify that Colorsync settings are accurate for my needs, updated color settings in InDesign CS 6 and Epson printer driver settings with Epson inks, Epson papers and their downloadable profiles at least. If I can get that to be semi close I can then attempt to use recently created custom profiles for individual papers to really nail my output.
I have used the most recent X-Rite i1 Profiler (1.3.1)/Gretag MacBeth i1 Proof UV-Cut spectrophotometer with new and older iMacs, Mac Pros with Cinema displays, the new Retina Macbook Pro's and CS6, 10.8.1, Xerox 7760 and Xerox 8570 and have accurate color. I have calibrated the monitors/screens, the Xerox printers with different papers and no problems with output.
For some reason the Epson workflow is being a complete tool. I have completely removed the Epson printer folder etc. as per Epson's uninstall information and downloaded and reinstalled to to present. Any help would be extremely appreciated. My wallet and sanity thank you!
