Printing in OS 9 from OS 10 with Epson CX 4200

How do I set up Epson CX 4200 in Classic? Just purchased Epson Stylus CX 4200 which prints beautifully in OSX. However, I want to print an Office 98 document which returns to OS 9 Classic program and then I can't access the beautiful new printer. (The Chooser does not list printer.)
Epson Stylus CX 4200   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

Please excuse my sloppy typing... I hope you realised "click ,ps file, which should open in Preview as a .PSD" was meant to read as "click .ps file, which should open in Preview as a .PDF"
Grizzly, what you're describing can work too, and it's a similar approach and it's not the same…
No, a Classic-created .ps is not a true PDF, but that's because a .ps is meant not to be a PDF file… a .ps file is a PostScript file, ie as close to pure printer language as you can get, and intended to be seen only by a printer although some utilities can read and some can also edit it… In this case it gets its data from a Classic app, but the creatioin is controlled by the X driver - else Translator PostScript would be available to pure OS 9 through Desktop Printer Utility, the same way it is through Classic over X.
A PDF file is in Portable Document Format and is intended to be device-independant and again some utilities can read it and again but very differently some utilities can edit it.
Having Preview translate the .ps file is merely the simplest alternative if no X queue will handle it, though this would be about the third time I've ever heard of the Desktop Printer Utility / Translator PostScript method failing…
Having anything in Classic, including Acrobat, create the PDF directly should work, and it's an entirely different process - and as you said, costs $$$
That ***'s printer icon rejects the .ps "outright" seems to indicate this isn't a .ps file… else first the driver or then the printer might choke on the contents, but neither should reject it outright either from the Dock or from the open queue window…
"When I open the .ps file it will print the --- what I think must be the .ps formatted version" may be a clue, as opening the file is no part of the process, and unless it's opened with a dedicated PostScript utility, might be harmful…

  • How do I print a configuration page from a Mac with Snowleopard?

    How do  I print a configuration page from a Mac with Snowleopard?  Printer is workinhg fine, but I just put in a new cartridge and I'd like to know how many pages I'm printing.
    Dave

    Hi there Dave, aka @dewanio , welcome back
    I saw that you are looking to print off a configuration page.
    The printer itself will print a test page however, the model depends on how it will print. Let me know which printer you have and I will get back to you!

  • Problems printing from photoshop CS4 with epson R2880

    I just purchased an epson stylus photo R2880, I thought it was broken due to the fact that I could
    not make prints from photoshopCS4.... it goes through all the motions and when its time to print, the soft ware just stops and nothing happens, no warning window, nothing, just no print, I have been three days with epson support by telephone and we have gone through every  possible scenario. I have repaired permissions, I have repaired the disks, I have reinstalled all drivers and I can  print
    from iphoto, from epson software, Lightroom and from preview but not from photoshop, I am at my wits end...I have my agent in Italy asking for three new portfolios and I cannot deliver. please help
    Browser: Safari
    Operating System: Macintosh
    Printer model / driver version: epson stylus photo R2880

    In conjunction with Jeff's suggestion, I suggest that you remove all of Epson's preferences for your preference folder especially if you are experience some other issues with other software. And especially if you have 10.6.1 installed.

  • Printing from an ipad with epson sx525wd?

    I have an ipad 3 and have tried both installing iprint epson app and looking for whether airprint is supported by the epson sx525wd but no answer can I find - the epson online support pushed a document to me which was immediately nuked by a survey when she went offline and I cannot find it - something I glimpsed about using itunes somehow. I will want to print from pages.
    Thanks
    Graham

    Miaartcart-
    No, you can not print from the iPad via Bluetooth.
    AirPrint compatible printers are listed at <iOS: AirPrint 101>.  The last time I checked, none of those listed were portable.
    One option is to use a DC-to-AC inverter in your car, with one of the available AirPrint printers plugged into it.  You may be able to connect the iPad's WiFi directly to a printer set up to host an Ad Hoc network.  Otherwise you could also power a WiFi router from the inverter.
    There may be non-AirPrint portable printers you can use with a printing App such as Print n Share or PrintCentral on the iPad.  These Apps can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option.  However they have their own text, E-Mail, browser and photo programs.  If you can use these programs, a printing App may meet your needs.

  • Trouble printing USPS labels from E-Bay with HP Photosmart D110

    I am having trouble printing shipping labels (USPS) from E-Bay with HP Photosmart D110. I was able to print for a short while after I bought it, but I tried later and the printer freezes up. It will show printing, but will freeze up until you x out. I am using Windows XP on a 6yr old Toshiba Satellite laptop. I have downloaded the HP utility that troubleshoots some printer problems, and it will fix the problem sometimes. I also have went in and turned printer spooling off, then back on. This has helped a few times. It takes me on the average, 40min to get one label to print. I am a seller on E-Bay and print labels daily. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

    The envelope size that you might be talking about is a 6.75 Regular, or 6.75R.  If you were printing on window envelopes, it would be 6.75W.  In all my life, I have never heard of a #6 ep.  Yes, you have a challenge with 6.75 because the rollers are not in the correct place for this size of item.  In order for me to print 10R envelopes, I have to insert a precut sheet of paper inside the envelope so that the envelope pulls correctly and doesn't get jammed. You might try this with your 6.75 and see if that works for you.

  • Printing with epson RX620

    The RX620 all in one is new to me. Am wanting to print 4 different pictures on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet. This means a print 4 1/4 by 5 1/2. The printer only recognizes standard 4 x 6 or 5 x 7 and of course printing only 2 pics. Already talked with epson, they sent me to apple which sent me to iBook G3 and was told that maybe appleworks might help. Limited knowledge so go slow for me. Thankyou, Earl.

    N-Up printing must have been added after version 2. It's in iPhoto 5, which shipped with Tiger, but not in version 1.1.x (came with jaguar).
    So...On to using AppleWorks.
    Getting photos into AppleWorks can be a simple matter of Drag and Drop, but you may find some problems with resolution and resizing.
    Sharon Joiner's User Tip on improving graphics resolution in AppleWorks was the first AppleWorks User Tip Library entry in the discussions, and is still relevant.
    I tried a Drag & Drop into a Draw document earlier today with a JPG photo from a 5 Mpix Pentax camera, then used Scale by Percent (in the Arrange menu) to resize it to an appropriate size for 4-Up printing. It appeared to maintain good resolution at a high magnification, but I didn't print, so I don't know what the final product would look like. If it works with your printer, it's a simpler process thn the one in Sharon's tip; if not, hers is a process that will work.
    An alternate is to use a third party application (such as Graphic Converter) to convert the photos to PICT format before dragging them into Appleworks. PICT graphics are resizeable in AW.
    Others may have additional suggestions. These should get you started. Post back with what works for you; the information amy be useful to the next person with a similar issue.

  • Print Too Small from Photoshop CS4 with HP 8500 All In One Printer

    I'm running Windows XP with CS4 and latest patches and drivers.  When I print an image to my HP 8500 All in one printer, the printout is too small.  Instead of a centered 4 x 6 image on the page I get a 1 x 1-1/4 inch small print of the image in the upper left hand corner.
    I re-installed CS3 and it works perfectly as do any other print options, such as word, etc.  But from Photoshop CS4 I can find no way to print to this printer without the image shrinking in size.  If I print to another printer at the same sitting, the image is fine.  So it's a PS CS4 vs. HP 8500 unique problem I guess.
    I've see this post in other forms and no help as yet.  Does anyone have this one on their radar.  I really like this printer, but it's quite annoying.
    By the way, If I print to a PDF from PS CS4, the pdf file image is fine.  That's another end around for printing also. HMMMM.
    I did contact HP and they put the problem squarely back on Adobe.  No partnership there.
    Thanks,
    Glen

    Will the printer print from any app?
    I know it sounds like a dumb question, but you didn't actually say...  And I admit to looking for software problems on an occasion or two when I had forgotten to plug in cables.

  • Problem with printing only 1 copy from the console on an HP photosmart 7760.

    When printing 4X6 borderless copies from a memory stick at the console the first picture correctly prints 1 copy but subsequent pictures show they are printing 1 of 2 copies. No matter how I set the number of copies this problem persists.
    I have tried to set the number of copies directly and also to the default setting. Neither works after the first picture.
    Any suggestions?
    **bleep** 

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @UHBCDDP,
    I read about the printer issue you're having with it randomly printing out pages.
    I am really unsure of what could be causing the problem for sure, however, I have an idea that it could be related to the alignment of the unit itself. The steps I have are below and I'd suggest giving them a try to see if it helps!
    Try the steps from here: A 'Cartridge Problem,' 'Cartridge Failed,' or 'Incompatible Cartridge' Error Message Displays on the...
    I hope that helps! You can also try power resetting the printer and ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help greatly.
    Press the Power button to turn on the product.
    With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions: click here.

  • Some Adobe PDF documents don't print from Adobe Reader; with other software it works correctly

    Dear community,
    I'm facing the problem that some Adobe PDF documents with lots of colors and lines (size less than 3 MB) don't print on our printers from Adobe Reader XI.
    The same files when opened with PDF XChange or PDF Architect are printed out without problems.
    How can I provide an Adobe Reader that is able to do so? Any recommendations about solving the issue are very appreciated.
    Best regards

  • 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

  • Printing from Lightroom 2 with Snow Leopard OS

    I have used Lightroom 2 and printed satisfactorily with Epson Stylus Pro 4000 with Leopard OS.  I have now upgraded to  Snow Leopard, and using the latest driver for the Epson 4000, the prints come out very dark with both printer and Lightroom color management.  Any suggestions?

    Thank you for your suggestions.  I have subsequently talked to the Epson Support representative and he said to watch the current drivers for Epson since apparently there may be some Epson driver updates.  I do not know whether any will be a resolution of the problem I continually have with the Epson Stylus Pro 4000 however.  Interesting, I printed an image using CS4 today, and out of frustration, I set the mode as "automatic" under the Print Settings in the Print Box.  It came out very close to the screen rendering, and was not dark like the images printed under the Photoshop settings and the other printer driver settings.  I have never used the "automatic" before since I normally use the ICC profiles for the paper and ink from Epson.  Under Leopard, prior to converting to Snow Leopard, the Photoshop/ICC profiles did not render proper color either, and I used "ColorSync" as a custom setting under the Print Box, and it was the best of the settings.  In any event, nothing seems to fully work under the current combinations with CS4, Lightroom2, Epson, and Snow Leopard.  Unfortunately, the best settings under my former PC setup render the worst possible prints under Snow Leopard.
