Printing from CS3

My background - Windows PC user for years. Reasonably competent with Photoshop CS3 (Windows).
Just bought new iMac with latest OS (Leopard). I like most of what I see so far but still very much in the learning curve stage. Have bought Mac version of CS3. Main printer is Epson R2400 but also use Canon Pixma iP8500 and both worked fine with PC.
I had a number of files set up in a folder on my Windows PC which involve an image of 7.5" x 5.5" centred (on A4 canvas) and then framed by a thin 1px border of 10" x 8". These are for a particular task I perform and they need to be like that. Copied these on to Mac.
When I print out on A4 photo paper on either printer the whole image incl. the border shifts about 0.25" towards one end - i.e. in portrait mode it shifts up the page. Also, the long sides of the border don't appear, but the short sides do. I have reduced the size of the border slightly and all 4 sides then appear which indicates that the printers are not printing up to the edge of the paper which of course they are capable of doing. I sometimes need to print right up to the edges of paper.
Responses from suppliers as follows:
Apple helpline - they said contact Canon and Epson and they will send a download for Mac operation. Nothing to do with Apple.
Spoke to Epson, they say maybe a download will work (they told me which one) but they say it's to do with the CS3 software. Download had no effect. Not spoken to Canon yet but suspect the same will happen.
Apple store - I go into local store for tuition and one of their people uses same gear as me and doesn't have this problem with it. Suggested uninstalling printers and reinstalling. Tried several times - no joy.
I'm going around in circles here. Solution maybe a blinding flash of the obvious - I hope so.
By the way, in the printer dialogue box that appears as part of the PS printing process I have got "centred" checked.
I realise that Macs will have different screens to PCs but am I missing something here in the Mac print dialogue boxes? My first impression is that there are not as many options there as with PCs but I may be wrong.
Help please!!
Bob

Print driver vary from Mac to Windows...on Mac, by default, many drivers have an offset in the page margin built in. So, even checking centered in the Print dlog of Photoshop will result in an offset. What you need to do is go into Page Setup and make a new paper size and make sure all 4 borders of the margin are the same. With Epson, many printers have a top and sides that are .13 while the bottom is .56. Make all four .56 and you will get centered prints. Newer printers like the 3800 from Epson already have 4 equal margins set to .13. The R2400 doesn't...

Printing from CS3 since Raw 4.5

Since installing Camera Raw 4.5 printing from CS3 with an icc profile has improved greatly - but, when printing using custom size the sizes come out wrong.
The windows all look fine - including the preview window, but the the print comes out with only 1/4 of the page printed or printed as a portrait orientation instead of landscape.
After wasting several sheets of 17x24 inch paper it seems that the custom size must be entered as the printer width rather than the width according to the orientation - ie. for printing landscape on 17x24 inch paper I had to enter the custom size as 17 inch width x 24 inch height. And then I had to choose user defined for the margins (but used the settings for Epson stylus pro 3800).
After that, choosing landscape orientation in page setup & in the print dialog did the trick.
Before installing the new Camera Raw 4.5 if the setup was wrong it would be wrong in the preview window.

I'm running OS X 10.5.4 on a Mac Pro with 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon & 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM Memory (I installed the latest security update this past week).
I updated to ACR 4.5 (thru adobe tech help) after installing the security update. I've been using Epson driver 6.10- beta version for Mac OS X 10.5 for several months with no problems.
Seems to me that ACR 4.5 previews stated that some printing issues would be fixed with this upgrade, along with support for more cameras, and support for linking to CS3 from LR2.0.
It is possible that the security update affected printing from Adobe CS3. Several months ago there were serious problems printing from Aperture & Lightroom that were "fixed" with an OS X security update. Some of those problems were printing size & orientation problems, as well as incorrect color. I checked printing after this latest security update, but not with custom sizes.
I guess I'll have to do some further investigating to determine what exactly is causing the current problem & find a workaround. I'm not a computer expert - I'm a photographer. And I'm getting weary of having to find fixes for things that should have been handled by the development staff for the various software products that I'm using - plus, it gets expensive when paper and ink are wasted - very expensive when printing to large custom sized paper. And very bothersome when you cannot depend on what you see in the preview window as to print size nor orientation.
Anybody else out there with similar problem with the latest upgrades?

Printing from CS3 after export from LR2 (Mac OS X) blurry / undersaturated

Hi all,
New to the forum and it might be with a question which already has been answered but I really could not find it, so here's my try.
Recently bought a Canon 50D and Pixma 4600 and started shooting pics (RAW) of my newborn kid. After importing and basic processing (WB, exposure, noise) in LR I exported pics to CS3 in various ways (TIFF 16 bit, DNG, Original file, different DPI, up to 500 etc.) and did some detail work over there.
After printing from CS3 all pictures look slightly blurry, undersaturated and underlit. Did a lot of trying on all settings (IP4600 profile from CS3, saturated, relative. etc. etc.) and when finally comparing identical pics printed from LR and CS3, the detail and overall quality of the LR pics is much better.
Any help would be greatly welcome as I cannot imagine being the first one with this problem and because I am convinced that it should be possible to print very accurate and brilliant images from CS3.
Overview of equipment :
Canon 50D
Imac 20", 2.4 GHz 4 Gig memory
Pixma IP4600
LR 2.1
CS3
Thank you all for your help, understanding and kindness,
Michiel

I'm just going to say "wow", because this worked for me. I was ready to chuck the printer out the window since I've tried virtually everything in every other single thread here, and nothing has worked. I had my doubts about d/ling the European driver, but it completely worked.Thank you!!
Link that worked for me: http://esupport.epson-europe.com/ProductHome.aspx?lng=en-GB&data=zbff+oTjl0HU002FfEVcqCDa8 Tb+0FXpIU002FFritF2NBao5eIU003D&tc=6#35

Printing from CS3 to Epson R2400

I've been very happily printing from Photoshop CS3 to the Epson until today and now it just point blank refuses to do so. Connections between the printer and computer are ok because it prints from other software programs. But when I try to print from CS3 it draws the paper into the printer and then stops dead and opens up a dialogue telling me the job is stopped and nothing will coax it into resuming it. I've tried clearing all other jobs and turning off the printer and rebooting the Mac but nothing. I haven't even bothered with the manufacturers because I just know everyone is going to pass the buck to everyone else. Any suggestions for what I can try to fix this?
Thanks
Geoff

A year later I found this posting ... I am having the same problem but from CS3 to HP Deskjet 1200c on a G5. Worked fine for years, now print jobs stop every time. I have replaced the driver, deleted and added the printer, unplugged and replugged all cables, restarted the computer, output to a different printer, etc. This is a USB connection. After poking around for help on the HP and Apple sites, I tried printing from different applications. Apparently, the problem is only with Adobe applications, having tried both InDesign and Acrobat. Printed fine out of Thunderbird, Firefox, and Word. However, I then tried printing out of both Firefox and InDesign from my MacBook on my wireless network. Both printed fine! So the problem appears to be Adobe applications on my USB connection. Is there one little setting I'm missing?

Color Shifts printing from CS3 Apps

I just loaded CS3 on my system (Mac OS 10.4.10, Dual Core Intel Xeon). I have an OKI5300 laser printer. I sent my client a pdf generated through Indesign, and we are both experiencing the same problem: severe color shifts in our print-out. Indesign prints color correctly, but both Acrobat and Photoshop (I recreated the design in Photoshop by copying and pasting the elements into it) were severely out of balance. However, Acrobat 6 professional, which I still have on my system, printed the original pdf file perfectly. Your suggestions on what to do about this problem.
Mary Moore

Problem resolved! I called in to support, as my CS3 package was brand new, and the CS rep figured it out. When printing from Acrobat 8 to a postscript laser printer, the program has a default setting in the print window, under advanced/color profile that says something like Color management by print device. He suggested I select No Color Management, use source profile. This I did and it worked. I think generally Adobe has, in the software, pretty good color management, so letting the software and not the hardware manage color is likely the best choice.
But you are likely right as well, i may also have to synchronize color spaces between software and devices.

Printing from CS3 under Vista to Windows 2003 server print que very slow

I just upgraded one of my machines to vista with CS3. I normally print to a windows 2003 server print spool que. When I go to print it takes forever to pull up my different printers and then go to properties. On my XP machines there is no problem, I can select the print que, go into properties for my printer and it works fine. Something with Vista, CS3 and WIndows 2003 server?
Thanks

Im curious about your 802.1x issues are. Im testing user profiles VS login window profiles for 802.1x on our Cisco wi-fi LAN right now, and I'm scratching my head on how the login window profile is actually supposed to work. Its a chicken-and-the-egg situation for me. I cant use user login window profiles, I have to use user profiles, which don't work very well in my environment for various reasons. Granted, it has improved since 10.5.3, but its still not working as I expect it to work. Do you have a Apple Discussion post related to this issue I can read?
Sorry for hijacking this discussion with off-topic content...

Printing from Lightroom = bad, From CS3 = Perfect.

OK, before you flame me I am sure this has been asked before but I tried looking threw the search engine and nothing came up that was directly related to my issue.
Specs:
Vista Ultimate
Lightroom (Latest version)
Photoshop CS3 (Latest version)
iP6700D Canon printer (Newest drivers)
When I print from Lightroom the pictures look dark and dull. When I print from CS3 using sRGB IEC61966-2.1 they look perfect. I want to try printing from Lightroom using this profile but when I click "MORE" to select other profiles in LR, it is not there.
I am a printer noob as I just got this printer and have always had pics developed for me before this.
Any suggestions on how I can get the same quality from LR as I do from CS3?
Thanks !!

Thanks both for your help. I was able to make the picture come out exactly the same in Lightroom as it did in CS3.
The interesting this is that when I selected the specific profile for the paper, the image came out very red but when I just selected the "Canon IJ Color Printer Profile 2005" it came out great.
I put together a quick visual comparison to show the difference at the following link: http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/4458/printingresultscopyvg1.jpg
Weird eh? I have a Spyder 2 that I use to calibrate my monitor so I know that is not the cause, and it looks fine in the other pics. A little light but that's my fault lol.
Thanks again, I think I am good to go from here, unless you have anything else you think I should know. You have been a great help.

File spooling but not printing - InD CS3

I am at a loss as to why InD CS3 (and Acrobat and Reader) will not print to a shared printer. Illustrator CS3 and Photoshop CS3 will print to this shared printer. Why not InD CS3? This has been ongoing since CS3 came out.
The file spools, all images and fonts are downloaded but the file never appears in the print queue. Not on the originating machine or the sharing machine. It just vanishes.
CS3 Pro versions Loaded on Mac G5 dual 2gig (non-intel) running Tiger. Three other machines have the same issue. All various machine configs (G4 single/Tiger, G5 dual 1.8/Tiger, and an Intel iMac/Leopard).
- Printer is shared through a networked G3 running Jaguar (yeah, yeah, working on it).
- The printer is an Epson SP1400
- All drivers updated on all machines.
- All CS3 patches done.
- Permissions done.
- OnyX system maintenance done.
- Preferences trashed. Machines restarted (printer and macs).
- The InD CS3 file can be printed from CS3 to a networked Panasonic postscript printer. So it's not the file.
- The InD file can be saved down using Interchange to CS2 and that will print to the shared printer.
- The InD CS3 file will print to this printer if the printer is connected directly to the machine it is printing from.
Apple and Epson have pointed out that because other CS3 apps do print to the printer, there is something going on with InD, Acrobat and Reader and the sharing function. Is it the G3 and Jag? Or something to do with CUPS or .local or a sharing protocol? Please help me out with this.

Anything interesting in the logs on the printing machine or the sharing machine?
In the Print button in the Adobe Print dialog, click the popup to Error Handling and tell it to cough up an error page if it fails to print. Maybe the printer will give you feedback about why it's failing then.
If that does nothing, then what if you print the file to postscript and drop the PS file onto the printer icon in the Dock? That would at least guarantee you were getting a file and let you experiment with why it isn't making it all the way through the process.
A final thought is to raster it completely [make a Transparency Flattener set to 100% raster @ whatever DPI] and see if just a bitmap will print correctly. That tells you if it's something weird with the postscript at least.
It's all guesses, really. But at least it might give you something new to play with... Best of luck!

Is it possible to print from design view in CS3

I've got a summary print out / display page for a CF application that I'd like to be able to print out in Design view.
DW CS3 only seems to print the code page and I don't want to print from a browser as that will only show the options currently selected - I'm after having all options displayed.
Is it possible? Any suggestions other than printScreen?

No, you can't print from Design view. It seems as though screen capture is your best option,

Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3

Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3
I have the following problem:
When printing from Photoshop or InDesign to a PostScript printer, Adobe recommends to let Photoshop handle the colors (I use the German version, so I don't know the exact term used, it changes slightly in all CS3 apps anyway).
The manufacturer however told me to let the PostScript printer handle the colors.
When I chose this option in Ps's print dialog and then choose ISO Coated as the printer pfofile, the results are fine.
But when I place the exact same image in an InDesign file and print from InDesign or export to PDF and print via Acrobat, again using "Printer handles colors", the results are the exact same as if I had used Ps and chosen to let Ps handle the colors (way too saturated and a bit too red).
·Photoshop CS3
·InDesign CS3
·Test image is a TIFF in CMYK Fogra 27 Coated (which is also the working color space in Ps and ID.
·Printer: Xerox Docucolor 3535
·Printer profile: ISO Coated
How can I make sure the printer handles the colors in other CS3 apps than Ps? I tried it with ID's print dialog (translated from the German version: Color Management > Options > Color Handling: PostScript-printer decides colors).
Thanks a lot!

RE: "You don't indicate what Xerox printers you have"
In my first post I named it, is that the information you need?
Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535
That's interesting, so I have to find a way to turn off the printer's Color Management function? I mailed them, hope they can tell me how to do it easily. They usually just tell me to not use any profiles and so on, but that's the general rule in this area, I'm really tired of hearing it. Everybody seems to think profiles and LAB mode are nuclear science and I should stay away from it.
Anyway, the test image I'm using is a simple photograph (size A3, 300dpi), so no transparencies at all. I'm placing this image into an equally large ID file and print it from ID, then export it to PDF-X/3 and print it from Acrobat. Hope that helps.

Photoshop CS3 crashes when I try to print from Epson R2400

Hi,
For no reason that I can see, when I try to print from my Epson R2400, Photoshop CS3 crashes.
It was working fine up to yesterday with no issues.
I have re installed the drivers etc but no use.
I also cannot choose Printer Manages Colors, as it is now greyed out.
When the the Printer dialogue opens and I click on the Page Set up I get the Error that "Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close"
Any ideas please?

Thanks for the replies.
I understand now that the procedure is probably the reason.
I was just experimenting as LAB colours are colours we see through our eyes, while RGB, CMYK etc are "computer" colours and so I use LAB colours a lot, before switching back to RGB.
I normally switch to LAB mode and click on the Lightness channel, then play with adjustments of that channel. This time I decided to mess around and see what would happen if I removed all channels except the Lightness one....
Converting to greyscale for me is not enough unfortunately and LAB B+W provides much better contrast and tone than hitting CTRL+Shift+U to greyscale.
Again, I understand what you say, my point being though that Photoshop should not crash because I incorrectly remove the channels, perhaps a warning to tell me I can't do it would be better.
I'll pass this onto Adobe anyway.
cheers

Color management problems printing to Epson R2880 from CS3

I recently purchased an Epson R2880 printer. I am having a lot of trouble getting good color when printing from Photoshop CS3. I am running OS 10.4 on a G4 Mac. I have a high-quality monitor and an EyeOne calibrator. I have spent a total of a few hours on the phone with tech support from the store where I bought the monitor and calibrator, and with Epson. To try and keep it simple, I am using all Epson products (ink, paper, their ICC profiles downloaded from their site). I have calibrated my monitor to brightness: 80, white point: 5000 K, Gamma 2.2.
All that tech support has brought me to the point where prints I get on Epson Velvet Fine Art paper and almost where they match what I see on the monitor, though they still could use a touch more red. I've tried making a slight curves adjustment to the red channel but I still don't quite have it. But it's basically acceptable.
So then I tried Epson Premium Presentation Matte paper. After a lengthy session with the Epson tech, we determined that I can get a print that's almost right by printing out of Preview and letting the printer manage colors. If I make a levels adjustment and brighten it a good bit, I get a very good print. But if I try printing on that paper from CS3 I get something that looks like a washed out black-and-white print with a hint of color in it. The Epson tech (a level 2 tech) told me to use the SPR 2880 Matte Paper-HW profile. Didn't help. At that point he said that he'd done all he could do and that for further assistance I needed to contact Adobe about "advanced settings in Photoshop." Of course, I'd prefer to print out of Photoshop because it gives more options in terms of placement and size of the print on the paper.
So here are my questions:
- Is this kind of thing par for the course, and will I eventually figure out a system that gives me good results all the time with any Epson paper I choose with a minimum of tinkering with levels and curves?
- Or should I expect more from a printer that costs almost $1,000 and should I return it for, say, a Canon?
- Is there information online about those "advanced settings" the Epson tech was referring to?
- Or would I be advised to purchase a one-on-one phone consultation from Adobe Photoshop tech support to resolve these problems?
Thanks,
Helen

Mike,
Gee Ramón, I am guessing Mike did a search for Epson R2880/CS3 and noticed that a Mac user was having the same problem he was. If together, maybe Windows users and Mac users can come together and solve the problems of the Epson R2880, maybe we can set a good example for the Republicans and Democrats in Congress :-).
Anyway, since I posted this problem, I have been working on it getting input from a variety of people. The person who finally helped me was Jim, a tech at ColorHQ.com. If you are in the US or Canada and have to buy a monitor and/or calibrator, definitely consider buying it from them, because they offer free tech support to their customers!
So regarding yellowness, one thing that you definitely should look at is how you're calibrating your monitor. Despite some of the replies above that recommend calibrating to 6500K, ColorHQ, which specializes in solutions for the printing industry, told me that calibrating to 5000K is the print industry standard. (While 6500K is the standard for working on images for the web or for editing video.) 5000K will make the monitor look yellower, so see whether that's a better match to what you're printing. I have an Eizo monitor and am running their Color Navigator software. The nice thing about that is something called Color Navigator Agent that allows me to switch between calibration profiles on the fly if I'm doing some web work and then want to work on images for printing.
Calibrating to 5000K was helpful, but not the solution in my case. The ultimate solution to my problem was more of a Mac issue, so I don't know if this will help you, but I'll post it in case anyone refers to this discussion in the future: there evidently IS an issue with ColorSync Utility in the Mac interfering with Photoshop managing colors in OS 10.4. In my case, ColorSync was causing the printer to preserve RGB values rather than use the ICC profile. The afore-mentioned Jim suggested that I go to Edit: Convert to Paper Profile, then pick the profile from the list. When printing, in the first Photoshop dialog box choose Color Handling: No color management. All the other settings in the next dialog box are the same as when you don't want the Epson to manage colors. So what you're doing is making it so the profile is built into the file, and neither Photoshop nor Epson are managing colors.
The result to this was MUCH better. The soft proof is a little redder than the print, but I can adjust that by creating a curves adjustment layer and pulling down the red curve in the middle a little bit if I want to see what the print will look like. I can live with that.
Also Jim pointed out that those papers that you mentioned are in fact a little warm in tone -- put Velvet Fine Art next to a piece of ordinary copy paper from say, Staples, and you'll see the difference. He suggested that if it's the matte look I want (it is) that Hahnemuhle makes a couple of papers that are brighter: Photo Rag Baryta and Bright White He also likes Ilford Gold Fiber silk, but that's a luster satin finish. You can download the Hahnemuhle profiles from Hahnemuhle's web site and compare them in "Soft Proof" mode in Photoshop with the Epson papers you mentioned and get an idea of the difference with your images. I haven't actually printed on them yet, but I see what he means.
Good luck, and I'd be interested to know how it goes for you.

Color Managed Printing from LR 1.3.1 Inverse of Proper PS CS3 10.0.1 Behavior

Please excuse the length and detail of this post - I'm just trying to be very clear...
Also, it would be helpful if anyone having definitive information about this topic could please email me directly in addition to replying to this forum topic, in order that I might know a response is available sooner (I am new to this forum, and may not check it regularly). My direct email address is [email protected].
Bottom Line: Color managed printing using my own custom-generated profiles from LR 1.3.1 to my Epson 7600 (on Intel-based Mac OS X 10.5.2, but saw the same behavior with 10.5.1) using the current Epson 7600 Intel/10.5x-compatible driver (3.09) is broken, and appears to be doing the exact opposite (inverse) of what I would expect and what PS CS3 does properly.
I am color management experienced, and have been using my custom-generated EPSON 7600 profiles with reliable soft proofing and printing success in PS (both CS2 and now CS3) for some time now. I know how the EPSON printer driver should be set relative to PS/LR print settings to indicate desired function. Images exported from LR to PS and printed from PS using "Photoshop Manages Color" and proper printer driver settings ("No Color Adjustment") print perfectly, so it isn't the Intel-based Mac, the OS, the driver, the profile, or me -- it is LR behaving badly.
The specific behavior is that printing from LR using "Managed by Printer" with the EPSON driver's Color Management setting set properly to "Colorsync" prints a reasonable-looking print, about what you would expect for canned profiles from the manufacturer, and in fact identical to the results obtained printing the same image from PS using "Printer Manages Color". So far so good. Switching to my specific custom profiles in LR and printing with the driver's CM setting set properly to "No Color Adjustment" yields results that are clearly whacked, for both LR settings of "Perceptual" and "Relative CM". Just for completeness and out of curiosity, I tried printing from LR using the same profile (once for "Perceptual" and once more for "Relative CM") with the EPSON driver's CM setting set IMPROPERLY to "Colorsync", and the results were much more in line with what you would expect - I would almost say it was "correct" output. This is why I used the phrase "inverse of proper behavior" in the subject line of this topic. Going one step further, trying this same set of improper settings in PS (PS print settings set to "Photoshop Manages Color" with either Perceptual or Rel CM selected, but using "Colorsync" rather than "No Color Adjustment" in the Color Management pane of the EPSON printer driver) yields whacked results as you would expect that look identical to the whacked results obtained from LR using "proper" settings.
I said above that the improper settings from LR yielded results that I would almost say were correct. "Almost" because the benchmark results rendered by PS using proper settings are slightly different - both "better" and closer to each other - than those rendered by LR using the improper settings. The diffs between the Perceptual and Rel CM prints from LR using improper settings showed more marked differences in tone/contrast/saturation than the diffs observed between the Perceptual and Rel CM prints from PS using proper settings - the image itself was in-gamut enough that diffs between Perceptual and Rel CM in the proper PS prints were quite subtle. Even though the improper LR prints were slightly inferior to the proper PS prints, the improper LR prints were still within tolerances of what you might expect, and still better (in terms of color matching) than the "Managed by Printer" print from LR. At first guess, I would attribute this (the improper LR prints being inferior to the proper PS prints) to the CMM being used by LR being different from (inferior to) the CMM I have selected for use in PS (that being "Adobe (ACE)"). I can live with the LR CMM being slightly different from that use

(Here's the 2nd half of my post...)

I can live with the LR CMM being slightly different from that used in PS - that is not the issue here. What is at issue is trying to determine why LR is clearly behaving differently than PS in this well-understood area of functionality, all other variables being the same. (And, incidentally, why am I not seeing other posts raising these same questions?)
My "workaround" is to use "Managed by Printer" for printing rough prints from LR and to do all other printing from PS, especially given the noted diffs in CMM performance between LR and PS and the fact that printing from PS also supports using Photokit Sharpener for high-quality prints. Still it would be nice to understand why this is happening in LR and to be able to print "decent" prints directly from LR when it seemed appropriate.
Any insights or suggestions will be very much appreciated. Please remember to reply to my direct email address ([email protected]) in addition to your public reply to this forum.
Thank you!

Can't Print )@*$ from Mac and CS3 ...

But can print perfect from my PC. Does anybody have even a general idea of what's going on here?
If I print from Corel on my PC all photowork comes out perfect ... if I print from Adobe CS3 Illustrator or InDesign from my mac to the same printer I get all these lines coming through. I don't even know where to begin to fix this.
Any help at all will be appreciated - Thanks in advance -Charlene

I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It quits when the Twain portion of the program starts loading. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer will work with Photoshop??

I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It closes every time it gets to the point where it is loading the Twain portion. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer and Photoshop will work together? Thanks for any help I can get!

You're welcome.
But, no, don't look to Epson for fixes to their driver in newer versions, and Adobe has deprecated the TWAIN plug-in. Hoping for a solution there is futile. That has not happened and it's never going to happen. The consensus is that it's pretty foolish to tie up Photoshop to scan. Honestly.
Any improvement in the behavior of newer versions of the Epson drivers in that regard would be pure coincidence.
You need to understand that you never, ever scan "within" Photoshop, as Photoshop has no scanning capabilities whatsoever. When you use the Import > Twain plug-in all you are doing is blocking Photoshop while you call up the stand-alone Epson scanning software. If you think about it, its most inefficient.
VueScan has a pretty powerful scanning plug-in that can be called from the Impost menu—if you insist. VueScan is not free, but it's a pretty good value, IMO.
As for the Epson CD printing software, I have no clue. Sorry.
