Print settings for Epson 4880 Stylus Pro - confusing

Am running LR 1.3 on a PC, Dual-Core, etc.etc. Last week I installed 1.3 and my new Epson 4880 Stylus Pro. Previously, with 1.2 I had been printing with an Epson Stylus 2200 and had no problems.
The 4880 driver, which is the latest and only driver at this point, brings up print options that I find confusing. It may be just a matter of terminology, but when I use the settthe ings that I think are identical to Photoshop CS3 handling of printing, the image is way too dark. P'shop CS3 prints beautifully with the 4880, exactly what I see on my calibrated monitor.
I want to let the Adobe engine handle the printing in LR, yet when I set the 4880 print setting to "No Color Adjustment" and show the proper 4880 profile in the LR settings, the resulting print is too dark. When I set it to "ICM Advanced" and enter the monitor profile, the printer profile, and the Rendering Intent, everything prints beautifully. I thought these settings, the "ICM Advanced", handed everything off to the printer, which I don't want. Am I just confused about which settings lets the Adobe engine do things? I've read Evening's LR book and anything else I can find about the Print Module, but the 4880 driver is different enough from the 2200 to create confusion. Also, the PC and Mac drivers have some different options.
I think the 4880 driver is very similar to the 4800, so if any user can help, I'd appreciate your advice.

Because when you start a new thread someone inevitibly gets on you for not searching for an existing thread.
I have an HP 2509m monitor. There is no luminance setting but according to specs it's 300 nits. Brightness is set to 90. I can't find anywhere that will give me the cd/m2. I really don't think it's the monitor since my Epson R1900 does not have the same issue. I played with the settings some more and it seems color density is the only thing that make a noticable difference. I turned off color controls on the printer and used CS4 for color management. Set the ICM to the right printer and paper. That DID make a difference but not much - still very dark printout. And I'm not talking a little darker than what's on the screen - I'm talking black where it shoud be gray.
Here's the picture I'm having trouble with. This is reduced in quality so I could post it, but you can still see what I'm talking about. Note the building on the very bottom. To the right of that are some hills that are dark green and you can make out some of the detail of a road with parked cars along it. They're dark, but you can make them out. In the printout, pretty much everything except the building is black.

Can you see the green hills on your monitor?
I thought it might be the paper so I tried it with glossy instead of semigloss. Same result.

Don't have printer settings for Epson CX9400fax since upgrading to SL

I recently upgrade my operating system from Tiger to Snow Leopard (after a HD crash). I have an Epson CX9400fax all-in-one machine and I am able to print, but I no longer have the Printer Settings options as before - where you can change paper, ink, etc. I'm trying to print from Photoshop CS5, if that's relevant at all.
This is what I am looking for:
tons of options/setting to adjust
And this is what I have now:
basically just print.
Here's the driver info:
Is this something on Epson's end that hasn't been updated yet?
I've looked around, both here and online and haven't really got anywhere. If ANYONE can help, I will be very appreciative.
Oh, and I'm a first-timer so please be nice :0)

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions. I had the same problem with my Epson printer and solved it by going to Apple Support [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4169]. You can rearrange your printer settings using CUPS from there. Also, click on the triangle to the right of the Printer Name window to get an expanded menu.
Good luck and a Merry Christmas.

No Print Settings for Epson printer

I have an Epson 1400, and it was working fine this morning. I usually go to Print Settings to select my glossy paper. But just now, when I went to print, and tried to click the Print settings... button, nothing happens. I have tried using Software Update and installed the latest Epson Printer Software, and tested several other applications, and the printer is connected and working fine in those.
This is PS 12.1 for Mac.
Thanks

Well, looks like I'm dumb. I misread Solution 1. It suggested that I Choose Printer Manages Color, return to Photoshop Manages Color, and then choose Print Settings. This worked perfectly after I realized it meant PS couldn't use the printer to manage color in the case of my printer.
Anyway, you saved my you-know-what!
Thanks again,
J.

Printer Settings for Epson not working in LR and PE 12, crashes programs when I click.

In LR 4.4 and PE 12, after I have set all my color management info in the program's print panel to the Epson printer and to the correct paper, I go to Page Setup, select the paper size and printer, then Printer Settings, select Printer, then attempt to select paper source, nothing happens, then attempt to select paper media, then the programs crash.

my problem is now solved. I got with Epson support. We had to remove the printer from the printers/scanners in the Preferences section of the iMac HD after unplugging the usb cable. Then, we went to the disc utility in Applications folder and performed a disc repair. After that we connected the printer, rebooted, opened PE12/LR4.4 and, voila, the paper source and media type now contained the appropriate info. Something was not right in my system, one of those mysteries.

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.

Help with print settings for Panoramas

Hi,
I use an Epson 2880 and I am trying to figure out the print settings for doing an 11 x 34in panorama print on 13" roll paper from Aperture 3.0.3. I finally got it to do one print properly, but the setup was totally counter intuitive and I can't reproduce it. I tried using "Custom" Paper size and setting it to 13" x 36", then using the landscape mode and setting the Image Size to 11 x 34". Any way I did this ended up with the image printing the wrong way on the paper. So I went back and picked "Roll" paper. This leaves only one field to fill in, which I presume is the paper width (it really didn't make this obvious in the dialogue.). Then I set the mode to Portrait, and made sure that the settings for the Image size were 11 x 34. It then printed fine. But when I went back to print another file, even though I had saved the settings, now I am presented with only one box for specifying the Image Size and there is no way to get it right again. HELP! The settings for this kind of print in Photoshop is also counterintuitive, but when you get it set right, and you know the settings, no problem reproducing it. I think maybe there is a bug in AP3 with regard to this sort of setup.

TS3147 Where are all the print settings for my HP Officejet 5510 in Mac OS X 10.8.2? I can't find Normal, just Draft and Best.

Where are all the print settings for my HP Officejet 5510 in Mac OS X 10.8.2?? I only have Fast, Fast B & W, and Best. I want Normal so that it looks good but doesn't print so slowly. Help.

Hi,
Change the print settings manually by clicking the lowest drop-down within the print dialog (e.g. the application name, Copies & Pages within MSOffice.
Select Type/Quality and set the print quality as Normal.
You may seve the settings as a Preset from the Presets drop-down menu.

I need a driver for Epson Photo Stylus 2200 for OS 10.5.8 PPC

I need a driver for Epson Photo Stylus 2200 for my OS 10.5.8 Power PC G5. Does anyone know where to locate one? Epson does not support this version of the Mac. They have drivers for 10.4 and 10.6, but not for 10.5. Perhaps there is someone has a clue as to where I can find an original driver disk or download for the my Epson.
Thanks

Picking up the printer settings for Double or single sided?

Hi All,
Do anyone have a solution for picking up the printer settings for the PO SAPscript so that if the printer can do double sided it should print double sided but if it can only do single sided, it should print single sided?
Thanks & Regards,
Sudheer.

Hi Frank
1. To change it manually you have to deselect the following option:
Edit>Preferences>Type> Use Typographer's Quotes.
2. To access the option through vb script use the following syntax:
Document.TextPreference.TypographersQuotes
May be this will help you.

I keep getting a "waiting for printer to become available when trying to print on my Epson Photo Stylus 2400. It used to work.

I'm trying to print a .psd image from Photoshop CS5 using my Epson Photo Stylus 2400 printer. Yesterday, I downloaded a suggested upgrade and it hasn't worked since then. I used Time Machine and replaced the Epson utility with the old one. I then get a message:
Waiting for printer to become available...
and nothing happens. I need to be able to print!
I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Try Reset Printing System feature and then install the printer using Apples instructions from Mac Basics: Printing in OS X

Installing most recent print driver for Epson Pro 3800

I like to make sure that I use the most recent print driver for my Epson Pro 3800.
So I downloaded the driver "epson 328233 eu.dmg" and it shows up in "Finder downloads"
* I assume that this driver is the most recent one?
I have no idea how to continue to replace the existing driver and how to install the latest driver?
* Do I have to remove the present driver? If so: how do I find the old driver and how do I remove this driver?
* Thereafter in what way do I install the new driver?
I am far from a software specialist and I recently switched from PC to iMac which is still troubling me!
Thank you for helping me!
Harry

Dear Sig,
Thank you for your answer which solved my problem.
I had the imprerssion that in Mac some downloads are installed automatically and some are not?
But this might be a wrong observation and is installing always necessary?

Change print settings for email sent directly to the officejet pro 8630 printer

HP Officejet Pro 8630 All-in-One
Trying to change settings for printing an email directly to the printer.
Email prints in color on separate pages, want black & white with two-sided.

Hi @George1978,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I gather that you would like to learn how to change the print settings when sending an email to print on your Officejet Pro 8630 printer.
To better assist you, would you please supply some additional information:
How are you sending the print job to the printer? Are you sending it from your computer and choosing Print, from one of HP’s mobile apps, are you forwarding the email to the printer’s ePrint email address, or another method?
What operating system are you using on the device you are using to send the print job? I have included wikiHow’s guide titled How to Figure out Your Mobile Operating System if you are using a mobile device. If you are using a computer, please click on http://whatsmyos.com/ as it will tell you what your operating system is.
How is the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet, or wireless)?
Thank you.
Regards,

Print settings for photos for HP Photosmart 3180

When I first hooked up the HP3180 I tried printing photos from iPhoto and could select 4x6 from the iPhoto Print window. I printed several photos easily.
After my daughter had been using the MacBook for several weeks (wirelessly connecting to printer through Airport Express), the Print settings changed. Now, my Paper choices include many choices of strange sets of numbers numbers but none are 4x6, 5x7, etc. Also the Presets used to include "Photo Paper" and other choices. What happened to those settings? Is it Express or Bonjour-related. There is no way now to select 4x6 in the Print window.

All of the directions received from all parties still do not solve this problem.
The correct printer Epson Stylus 2200 is selected in System Preferences as well as in PS Elements. There are any number of dialogue boxes that open none of which allow a selection for type of paper or quality. It even warns you when ready to print that the quality is only 220 dpi.
With my photo on the screen and a Command P or selecting print from the PSE File Print Menu the screen has the following settings
1. Select Printer          Epson Stylus Photo 2200
2. Select Paper Size    Letter
3. Select Print Size      8" x 10"

System Preference all settings are correct Epson Stylus Photo 2200.
Note again all suggestions received work just fine if in IPhoto Command P opens screen with a selection called presets and it allows selection for photographs and type of paper.
Again thank you all for your help and patience.
