Print quality tip for Epson printers with wifi

Just wanted to post a resolution to a print quality problem we were having with an Epson Artisan 730.
I discovered that if we cnnected via wifi the printer driver used offered much lower quality and fewer options then we were used to under Snow Leopard.
When I connected via USB the print dialog offered addtional options and more control over quality and color management.
Seems very strange to me so i thought I would point it out.

I just had to go into system preferences for the printer and click on the printer and then click on sharing preferences and type in my computer name.  Then turn off the computer and turn it back on again and the printer now WORKS.  Amazing.
That solved the same problem for me also.  I had already gone into Time Machine and put back the old Epson files that were changed by the update, but that didn't fix the problem.  Typing the computer name fixed it.

  • Does anyone know where to find printer profiles for Epson paper with MG6200 printer using Lightroom?

    Does anyone know where to find printer profiles for Epson paper with MG6200 printer for use in LightRoom5?

    Epsnm should provide recommended settings (I.e. Which Canon paper type to select). They may also have profiles on their site.

  • Problem with OSX Update for Epson Printers

    II installed an OSX update a couple of days ago - was for Epson printers.  Ever since then my Epson won't print.  I've tried everything.  I keep getting a message that "Filter" failed.  Any fixes coming up for this?

  • Print quality preference for HP 6500

    The default print quality preference for the HP 6500 seems to be "medium" which obviously uses more ink. how does one rest the preference to "one star" or draft quality print?
    Thanks.

    Please read this post then provide some details. What operating system?

  • Need wireless printing for Epson printers

    I have 3 Epson printers.
    An R380 direct printing via USB, an R380 wireless via an Airport Express and an Epson Artisan 810 wireless via my Airport Extreme. The 810 also has bluetooth capabilities.
    _So I have three avenues to print wireless:_
    Through the Airport Extreme
    Through the Airport Express
    Through the Bluetooth capable Epson 810
    ... BUT the iPad provides no way for printing.
    When I purchased the device I assumed that printing was a given.
    The newly announced beta IOS4.2 only allows printing on HP printers...WHY?
    There are other printer manufactures out there.
    I chose Epson because it allows for printing on DVD’s and CD’s

    I think only certain HP printers will have a direct print ... but that any printer on the same network as your iPad will work. From the AirPrint press release:
    "AirPrint automatically finds printers on local networks and can print text, photos and graphics to them wirelessly over Wi-Fi without the need to install drivers or download software. HP’s existing and upcoming ePrint enabled printers will be the first to support printing direct from iOS devices... iPad, iPhone and iPod touch users can simply tap to print their documents or photos wirelessly to an HP ePrint printer or to a printer shared on a Mac or PC.”
    So if your Epson is on a network, you can print to it.

  • Lost proper printer dialogue box for Epson Photo 870

    I recently puchased the iMAC Duo Core and am running OS 10.4.5. I successfully installed the driver for my Epson Photo 870 (which is included with the operating system as a beta version) and was able to print Photoshop Elements files (i.e. pictures) with all of the controls - resolution, paper type, etc needed to get photo quality prints. Now when try to print I get a completely different dialogue box that does not include the Epson-specific features. I have tried to reinstall the driver but have not been successful in restoring the Epson dialogue box. How do I go about doing that?
    Thanks for any help.
    Arnie Horwitz

    Thanks for the suggestion. I located the drivers in the Optional Installs and installed. When I add in printer setup, I do not have the Epson USB option - only Epson Firewire among others. It must have gotten lost at some point if that is possible. That may be the problem. Since the printer did work until recently (i.e. last week), I know it was properly installed at least originally. I could not locate any new drivers for the 870 from the intall - only the Gimp-print ones (for a number of other Epson printers as well).
    I had checked at work with 2 new iMAC Duo Cores and they also did not have the Epson USB option but did have the Epson Firewire. An older G5 with OS 10.4.5 did have the Epson USB option included. What else can I try?

  • Print quality / resolution for iPhoto books

    Hi -
    I am getting ready to upload my first iPhoto book for printing, and a colleague told me to beware of a potential issue. After searching these forums, and searching Google, I found that people in the past (perhaps prior to iPhoto '08?) have had print quality problems when printing 8.5 x 11 books vs. 6x10 books.
    Basically, we are creating an 8.5 x 11 book and will have several books printed by Apple. At some point in the future, we will make similar books at the 6x10 size. Will the photos that are included in the books print at similar quality?
    Thanks -

    I have ordered books in the past that were made up of photos 1600 x 1200 pixels in dimension and they came out fine. HOWEVER, I had no pages with a photo filling the entire page as Larry warned about.
    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 or later), 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.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Belkin Print Server support for Epson Stylus photo R200

    I have just installed a Belkin Wirless G adsl modem router, which works very well and I very satisfied with it. Along with this I purchased a Belkin Print server F1UP0001uk to drive my Epson stylus photo R200. While I can see my Print server and ping it satisfactoraly and it can see my printer. I can't get it to print.
    Belkin tell me that I have to change the CUPS port from 515 to 9100 for print server port1 or 9101 for port2 on each machine I want to connect from.
    How do I do this?
    G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    What they are describing is the HP Jetdirect protocol on OS X, called raw/port 9100 printing on Windows. To use port 9100, in Printer Setup, select IP printer > HP JetDirect and it will work (9100 is the default port number). To use port 9101 requires the advanced method. In Printer Setup, after you click ADD, hold down the option key while clicking More Printers (you may need to pause a bit before the More Printers, because OS X is searching for Bonjour printers). At the bottom of the new menu, select Advanced, then select Appsocket/HP Jetdirect. Name it. Fill in the URI like:
    socket://[IPofserver]:9101

  • 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.

  • Can't print contact sheets on Epson R1800 with LR3

    I upgraded to Lightroom 3 a few months ago and can't print contact sheets on 13x16" sheets using my Epson R1800 (it worked fine before in Lightroom 2).
    I have this problem on both an iMac and Macbook Pro, both running the latest version of Snow Leopard.
    I've tried re-installing the drivers, open the program in 32 bit mode and no joy.
    I can use the Print Module no problem and can print 4x6 single prints or even do a 2x2 contact sheet on a 4x6. I can also print a 7x7 contact sheet on a 13x19" sheet using draft mode, but if I try to use profiles (the images are way too dark in draft mode), LR will spend a few minutes rendering the images, while this is happening the job appears in the Epson utility, but once LR has finished rendering, the progress bar disappears along with the job in the Epson utility and nothing happens?
    Anybody experience something similar?
    Thanks in advance for replying.
    John

    Print Drivers on OS X aren't the same as on Windows...
    You can't use an Epson driver made for USB-only Epson printers, because they wrote the driver to only work via USB. To use the CUPS Windows printer protocol, you need a driver written to use CUPS. The Gutenprint drivers Apple included in OS X are CUPS drivers. An update is here:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
    If your specific model isn't yet supported, try other model drivers.

  • How can I creat a security system for a truck, with Wifi camera playing on iPad/iPhone without 3G/LTE ?

    Hello,
    I want to create a wifi security system for a truck with cameras, but all the ones I found are IP. So I don't know if it's possible to use it only on wifi (not on 3G/LTE).
    If you have an idea, it will be nice...
    Thank you

    that range of most wifi setup unless you want to pay alot!
    would likely mean you could see about as much as the camera from where you were standing
    a mifi or otherwise something which bridge a lan to the internet would work
    make sure the camera have a webserver in it and then you can see it from any web browser where you put in the login and password

    No one here will know

  • Some Tips for Cablecard Users with HBO

    I have been using a cablecard with my Hauppauge DCR-2650 digital tuner and Windows Media Center on my Windows 7 PC for 3 months with no problems on any of the Prime HD channels. I just subscribed to HBO and was not able to access any of the HBO channels, SD or HD. The message "Subscription Required" would appear after a few seconds, along with a message saying I needed to obtain a subscription to HBO. After Live Chatting to 3 techs over 3 days, I was finally able to access the HBO channels. I'm not sure this solution is permanent, but this is what I did. First I updated the firmware and drivers for my Hauppauge device. Then when I Live Chatted with the technician, he performed a "manual cablecard validation". During this process he asked for my cablecard ID, the Host ID, the Data ID and the activation code. He had me switch channels from an HBO channel to a non-HBO channel, then back again. Voila! It worked. So if my HBO disappears in the future I'll be asking for a tech who knows how to perform a "manual cablecard validation".  Now I had my HBO channels in HD, but the picture was flickering a bit, enough to make it annoying to watch. After Googling "HBO HD flicker" I found that the problem was not with the cablecard or Fios, but with the graphics adapter settings. I have an integrated graphics chip on my PC, an Intel 3000 graphics chip. I opened the graphics properties page and in the "Media" category under "Image Enhancement Option" I turned off the "Adaptive Contrast Enhancement" feature. This fixed the flicker. Hopefully this post will help those few who are using a cablecard with their Home Theater PCs.
