Printing from iPhoto to Epson Stylus R1900-Lack of Layout and other options

I have just begun using my MacBook Pro for photo use, and also just acquired an Epson R1900. When I print from iPhoto to the R1900, I can only print 1 photo per page. The usual Epson screen which has an option to change layout, e.g., to multiple photos per page does not appear. If I try to print from Mail the usual Epson screen does appear. Why not in iPhoto like it always has in the past on my iMac when printing to my previous, Canon i950? This is a major concern to me since my wife likes to keep our photos as multiples per page in a scrapbook. I'm using iPhoto '09, vers. 8.1.2., and OS 10.5.8, and the latest update of the Epson driver for the R1900 which claims to be fine with OS 10.5.8.

Well, I found how to get to "Settings." There is a button in the photo area entitled "Customize," which leads to a screen with various options on the bottom, one of which is "Settings." If I click on that I get a small dialog box including the option to select "Multiple Photos per Page." So far it looks like I need to do some very tedious custom sizing to get, say, 4 photos on 1 8x10 page. There is a "Layout" button on the "Customize" screen; however, it only wants to give me horizontal or vertical page orientations; or ones which have the option of adding a title underneath. In the past, if I choose multiple photos per page (or "N up") I could then choose how many: 2, 3, 4, etc photos per page and the program sizes them accordingly. I still get that when I use my old iMac with iPhoto '05 to print to the Epson R1900. Works nice and easy.
Also, I'm confused by the fact that iPhoto '09 does not allow a "Page Setup" file command. This is making it difficult for me to get the photos oriented in a way that they will fit in groups. So far, iPhoto '09 is proving to be very awkward to work with compared with my past experience with iPhoto '05.

Printing from iPhoto on Epson CX6600

Well I have tried printing photos using my Mac for the 1st time since I got it, and I am having terrible trouble.
I have installed the Intel Compatible Epson CX6600 drivers on my Macbook. I am using Tiger 10.4.8 and iPhoto supplied with the Mac with all the latest updates. Printing from iPhoto (and actually the GIMP) is proving problematic. 1stly is seems to be difficult to orient my pictures to fit 4x6 photo paper and crop in so there are no white borders and also to print the right way around.
Secondly, the print quality when I finally do print is terrible. The colors are washed out, it's grainy and there are faint lines in the image. Oddly enough, if I print using Windows (parallels) the image quality is perfect. However since I have chosen iPhoto to organise my photographs, it'd be nice to use it.
I see two issues. One is that the paper size is not shown correctly in the drop down. I get a choice of letter, legal, A4, A5 and then a bunch of codes like W665GH45 or something.
Second issue is there does not seem to be any 'print quality' option, as I am sure that this is the issue. The image comes out with a print quality similar to "Draft" in windows. In Windows you can change this to high quality or photo quality easily, in OS X I cannot see where this option is.
Thanks in advance for help.

Anyone?

Printing from XP to Epson Stylus Photo R260 on a Powermac G5

Tried configuring this set up a couple different ways (Bonjour, add a printer utility, tech.ifelex tutorial) and in all cases the printer is detected and configured. I send a job from the XP, never see it arrive on "Active" list of the Stylus Photo print queue on the PMG5, but after a minute of so it IS on the list of "Completed" print jobs. Just never prints. Connected via USB to the G5, XP is on Airport wireless, Windows print sharing is on and the printer is selected for sharing. If I try from my Macbook it works fine.
Any ideas?

BTW, downloaded updated Epson drivers last night for both the Mac and XP boxes. I have them installed but haven't tried testing them again with the printer connected to the G5 and printer sharing "on". I currently have the Epson on the printer port for the Airport Extreme and it works fine for both the Mac and XP boxes. The problem is you can't access many of the advanced printer options the direct connection to a computer provides, like ink levels and paper type selection.

Unable to print from iPhoto after upgrading to Yosemite?

Whenever I want to print from iPhoto, the application on the IMac becomes unresponsive and will not print. This all started after upgrading to Yosemite. My printer is updated, so now I have no idea how to make this work again. Any help would be great.

Rebuilt iPhoto, it is updated, but still is unresponsive. I get the spinning wheel that never goes away until I force close the app. The printer works on other applications.
OK and I see the issue is only with iPhoto. The only thing I can think of is resetting the printing system and then re-installing the printer(s). DO NOT use any of the printer's software for installing, simply follow the directions for adding a printer in Mac Basics: Printing in OS X - Apple Support.
To reset the printing system, open System Preferences - Printers & Scanners - locate the device in the window on the left and right click the offending printer and select Reset Printing System....
After you have reset the printing system and re-added the device then shutdown (not restart) the computer for about 30 seconds and restart and then test.

Cannot print from iPhoto. themes missing

cannot print from iPhoto. says themes missing. Libraray/Applicaion support and iPhoto folder missing.
tried to restore from time m/c but no joy. reinstalled iphoto from disc. no joy.

Did you delete the receipts first?
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Epson Stylus C88+ won't print from iPhoto 6

Recently bought an Epson Stylus C88+ printer to replace the Stylus C86 that is not printing well anymore. Discovered that the C88+ does not print from iPhoto 6.0.5! The printer does print from Photoshop Elements 2 and does print documents fine. When we choose "Apple P" it starts the printing process, makes the starting noise, but then stops and the red exclamation point appears next to the printer icon on the dock. The original driver came from the printer's install CD that came with printer. I had seen some instructions from Epson about removing and reinstalling the printer driver, so I have done the following: 1) removed the 2 printers above from the Printer Setup Utility, 2) reset the printing system in Printer Setup Utility, 3) removed the Epson folder from the Library folder in Mac HD, 4) deleted the Epson printer receipts from the Library folder in Mac HD, and 5) reinstalled the C88+ driver from the Epson website. It still does the same as before. Any othe ideas?

I'm not sure what I should be looking for in Page setup settings and iPhoto print window. How do I check the driver in Printer Setup Utility? I already added the printer after reinstalling the driver from the Epson website; Printer setup utility seemed to find the driver when I did that because the printer is listed and printer is otherwise working.
I also looked at Colosync utility as you suggested and found my computer under devices and verified the Profiles in Profile First Aid. Nothing was found wrong for any Epson device, only some Lexmark profiles were incorrect (they must be ones installed with Tiger that I don't use), so didn't do the repair.
Here is what it says in System Profiler for the printer (doesn't actually say Epson USB and I wonder what the question mark means):
Stylus C88:
Status: Idle
Print Server: Local
Driver Version: 2.72
Default: Yes
URI: usb://EPSON/Stylus C88?serial=FGS020609051637250
PPD: EPSON C88 Series (1)
PPD File Version: 1.0
PostScript Version: (3011.104) 0
I'm not sure where they get that serial number from. The one on the back of the printer is totally different. I was a little suspicious that nowhere in the Printer setup utility or system profiler does it actually say I have a C88+; it just says C88 series, etc. It says on the C88+ download page says I would get driver v2.7aA. I guess this is the same as what I have. I was warned by Epson that the C88 and C88+ are 2 totally different printers, but when I checked the C88 download page it says I would get v2.5bA, so I don't think I downloaded the wrong driver.
For anyone else who has the same problem, I have discovered that as a workaround I can open photos in Photoshop Elements from iPhoto and can print them using Elements, so I'm ok unless I want to try printing an iPhoto greeting card, etc.
Thanks for any additional thoughts.

Problem Printing Wirelessly from MacBook to Epson Stylus NX530

I have been using an Epson Stylus NX530 wireless printer for 8 months or so without issue. However, over the last couple of weeks, I can't print as usual. I can print things from my iPhone, but nothing from my MacBook. When I go to the printer queue for the print job, it says there is a connection error. I used to be able to check the ink levels, but now it says that "information unavailable".
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer in the system preferences, including "printer reset" (control + click printer list) multiple times to no avail. I have tried checking network connections on the printer and everything seems to work (hence, the abilitiy to print from my iPhone). I have gone to Safari and tried to connect via bonjour (it "sees" the printer, but is unable to connect).
I've even tried to use the network utility program (using a Time Capsule as my router) to ping the printer, but was unsuccessful. I have a felling that there is some type of network issue. I am not a network person, so I'm a little apprehensive of messing around with any settings.
Please help! My wife is a teacher and really needs to get our printer running again.
Thanks in advance.

Well, after the Apple Store genius said the time capsule works fine in the store (of course), I got an Airport Express "just in case". After have same issues with the TC when I got home, I installed the AE as the main wifi router which has reestablished the lost internet and wireless printing to ALL devices/computers (yeah!).
I'm now trying to hookup the Time Capsule to the AE to be able to use our Time Machine backups again.
I have configured the connection as follows: wall > modem > IN: WAN connection on Airport Extreme > OUT: LAN connection on Airport Extreme > IN: "To Internet" conncetion on Ooma (VOIP phone box) > OUT: "Home Network" on Ooma > IN: WAN connection on Time Capsule.
All devices have solid green "all is good" lights on. Wi-fi internet is working on all 3 MacBooks, 2 iPhones and 1 iPad. All 6 can print wirelessly again.
Any tips for configuring the TC to access the TM backups I have already?
Thanks again.

I can't print from iPhoto on my new Epson XP820 printer. Any suggestions?

I can't print from iPhoto on my new Epson XP820 printer. I can print from other applications, like Word or Mail. Any suggestions?

Did you check software update or App Store to see if the printer is among
those Epson models who may have an update download available now?
Of course, some of these printers, even though wi-fi, may require the wire
to set them up for first-use, to be identified. Both my Epsons appear twice,
for wi-fi and again with USB. So I named each appearance, different. So it
is possible to tell in more than one way, which setup that was selected. A few
features do not correctly work in instances where drivers differ.
The latest Epson update helped my newer computer connect to oldest Epson.
Even though a 1.3GB huge Epson drivers file did not help, & OS X didn't see it.
Hopefully the they included an adequate quick-setup guide, though that may
have been for Mavericks, etc. Yet your iPhoto issue may be something else.
Good luck & happy computing!

Photo printing from Iphoto 09 using epson r200 printer

Mac Mini, Iphoto 09, Epson stylus photo r200 printer.
Hello, I have been trying to get a decent printed photo (6" x 4" high gloss photo paper) using the above. All I seem to get are very poor quality prints. There does not seem to be a way of telling iphoto what medium I am using or the correct resolution I wish to use. Can anyone help !

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
If paper type is available it is in the printer specific options on the second print window - select the photo(s) you want to print, click print, select the printer, paper size and print size and click print - in the resulting window any available printer specific options will be in the pull down line toward the bottom of the window - if they are not click on the gray triangle to the right of the printer name to open the full window -- note that the available printer specific options are controlled by the printer driver - not iPhoto

Skin Tones Look Wrong When Printing From iPhoto

Hi
I'm having trouble getting the caucasian skin tones to look right on photos printed with my Epson Stylus C86 printer on Epson Premium Semigloss paper. They look too pinky/purple when compared with the screen of the Sony DSC camera I shot them with and also my iMac's monitor. They just look wrong as though the subjects have a combination of bad sunburn, high blood pressure and are blushing at the same time!
I've tried the following tips synthesised from other threads:
1. Downloaded the latest set of drivers from Epson's website.
2. Ensured that they are associated with the printer in ColorSync utility.
3. Selected the Use ColorSync option when printing from iPhoto's print dialogue box.
These made no difference to the default behaviour i.e. same color problems.
Could anyone guide me to a solution? I would rather not have to use another application to print them if possible. I'm not used to my Mac not "just working".
Thanks

What color profile do the pics have? Is the printer set to the same profile?

How do I print from iPhoto using colormunki printer profiles

I have an Intel core i7, iMac, OSX Mavericks.
I have just purchased Colormunki and created a profile for my monitor.
I have also created a printer profile for my Epson Stylus Photo R3000.
Now I want to print a photo from iPhoto so that the printer profile matches the monitor.
However, it is not clear to me how to do that when in iPhoto.
Can anyone help?

Yes, do share your solution for others who may want to do the same with their special profiles and printers.

Printing from iPhoto only has two paper presets?

When I print from iPhoto to my Epson R1800 I only have access to two paper presets. matte and matte fine? I do not want either of these and I believe it is effecting my print jobs. I tried looking into modifying the presets via this link, but the truth is that when I open the ...Contents/Resources/Presets.xml file I see all the presets are in there, so the issue is somewhere else?
Apple has a dev guide on changing these presets here:

Thanks for any feedback.

Problems printing from iPhoto 6: Page setup & Preview

I am having trouble printing from iPhoto v6. For starters, the miniture preview frame in the print screen does not conform to the paper size selection or image orientation. (It is always a big square.) Only part of a 4x6 image image is seen in the frame. This makes predicting the final result impossible. To make matters harder, the print dialog does not remember what paper size was last used and many internal "Advanced" options reset the paper size to "letter". Simple choosing any printer preset resets the paper size. Switching from advanced options to the iPhoto options seems to alter other selected options as wlll.
I have the most current driver for my printer. I have no problem printing from Aperture or Photoshop. I have custom color profiles and am not entirely a novice, but I am wasting much paper and ink and spraying the inside of my printer!
The use of the native iPhoto print routines seems mutually exclusive with using Advanced options. I understood that the first iterations of iPhoto wanted us to depend on the Mac Print routines, and it was always a little touchy but I would have hoped earlier problems would have been sorted out by now. I want to print my own pictures!
Much confusion and no place to find good instructions. For example, should I be using "Full Page" or "Standard Prints" Standard settings in the print interface? There appear to be several places to select print sizes but they do not seem linked together nor is it obvious which one is determinitive. Under color options do I select Color Corrections <none> or <Colorsync> which then forces me to use driver recommended by Canon despite the fact I have a custom profile identified in Color sync utility. It just isn't working for me.
Are others notiing that iPhoto print routines are no longer working for them? I would like to see the internal print routines working intuitively before additional efforts are made to facilitate purchase from outside printing sources!

goldn:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Just ran a test and I got a perfect card. Here's what I did.
1 - create the card and type Command-P.
2 - select Stylus Photo R200 under Printer
3 - click on the Advanced button
4 - in the bottom drop down menu select Paper Handling
5 - select the radio button "Use documents paper size: 7.00 in x 10.00 in
6 - now select Print Settings in the 3rd drop down menu
7 - select the type of paper you're using and the print quality you want. I used Photo and High Speed. (also used plain paper for my test)
9 - put a piece of 7 x 10 paper in the printer (yes, you'll have to trip the paper beforehand or use card stock designed for this)
10 - click on Print
11 - when the paper exits the printer quickly put it back in the printer
That will do it. Now there is a caveat. Putting it back into the printer before drying tended to get my leading edge nipped. If you use heaver card stock I don't think that will happen but just be aware. If you wait a moment to put the page, turned over, back into the printer to let the ink dry a bit, all you'll have to do is press the middle button which will be blinking red and that will feed the other side thru when you're ready.
