Printing (not) from Photoshop CC to Epson Stylus Pro 7800

I have a brand new iMac on OS X 10.9.2 and a brand new install of Photoshop CC and printer driver.
When I try to print an image from PS, the file is briefly seen in the print queue and then it disappears, but no printing happens. It gets as far as saying "printing page 1 of 1", but nothing else after that.
The images print fine from Preview and other types of documents also print fine, so it is just from Photoshop where the problem occurs.
Restarting PS and the printer don't make a difference; nor does re-booting the computer.
All help gratefully received!

Contact Epson - they seem to be having a LOT of driver problems on MacOS 10.9.
Photoshop sends the data to the OS, which sends the image data to the driver - and the driver is showing that it has a print job and then losing the job. So this is another Epson driver issue.

Printing problems from Photoshop Elements to Epson XP-800

I cannot print photogrpaic images with my desktop MAC (OS X10.8.4) from Photoshop Elements 9.0 to my new Epson XP-800 printer. Printing is not a problem with Word text or images from iPhoto- it is only with PSE that there is a problem. The problem persists even if I try using a cabled connection rather than WiFi. I have ensured latest software from Epson has been downloaded. This problem did not occur when using the same system with the previous printer (Epson Photo Stylus 1290).
Any suggestions for solving this rather than just a workaround of moving the edited PSE image back to iPhoto & printing from there (which admittedly does work but shouldn't be necessary).
Grateful for any help.

Problem with printing 6x4 from Photoshop CS5 to Epson 2880

Hi,
bit of an odd one. I can print A3 and A4 no problem, but when I try to print a 6 x 4 it looks like the printer is not reconising the size of the paper. It prints the image the right size, but as though it were printing it on a larger sheet of paper, in the left hand side with a a 5cm space to the right (which is actually the top of the image).
I have set the printer to 6 x 4 for both image and paper.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I have an Epson 2200, but am assuming the drivers and print dialog accesing that driver and ICC profiles are very similar to Epson's 2880, which is the same size as the 2200.
In order to print 6 x 4, whish isn't a standard page size in the print dialogs, are you setting up a custom page size? (Print > Print Settings > Page Size > Manage Custom Sizes) - This works fine here, but if the paper is the wrong size, it won't print. The print driver requires that the paper size actually be 6 x 4.
Of course, an alternative approach might be to print on a standard paper size, maybe adding trim marks, and then cutting the page down to 6 x 4 after printing.
If none of this helps, I suggest you contact Epson's tech support.

Epson Stylus Pro 4000 - Printing issues

I am having trouble printing from Photoshop to my Epson stylus pro 4000. Specifically, I am not able to access choices other than plain paper, tracing paper and line paper for printing my images. The following are some screen shots of what I see. Does anyone out there know why this is happening and if there is some setting/compatibility issue. I would really appreciate any insights and tips for a solution. I noticed the problem when I started using CS5. I have also downloaded the most updated driver for the Epson and that didn't seem to do anything. Thanks!

I asume that you have updated the Epson printer driver via the Apple Updater? I had the same problem with my R1900. I suggest that you look at G Ballard's website. You will need to remove the Epson folder from your Library/Printer folder and from Print/Fax in System Preferences and re-install using the driver from the Epson Support webpage.

Having followed the above: my system is now working as it should.

Problems printing from Epson Stylus Pro 700

I just upgraded to CS4. Now I can't print from Adobe Indesign on my Epson Stylus Pro 7800. It will print from photoshop. I upgraded the printer driver, but that didn't help. Other applications such as Word will print. When I click on the printer monitor, it says printer ready. The print job is "stopped." When I click on resume it says "Operation could not be completed." What can I do to fix this?
Kate

Yes, I've contacted epson. At first the computer wouldn't recognize that the 7800 printer was attached. My 1400 printer was working. I replaced the firewire cable on the 7800, per instructions from Epson, with a USB. That fixed the first problem. Then when I was printing in Adobe, I couldn't choose a paper type. We tried downloading a driver upgrade, and running disk utility(Epson tech still). That fixed that problem. Now I can choose a paper type in the print dialogue box, but when I tell the printer to print, the dialogue box says printing stopped. If I select resume, It tells me client error, not possible. I also spent about an hour on the phone with Adobe trying to solve this problem. Epson says it's an Adobe problem, and Adobe says it's an Epson problem! Currently, I can print in photoshop and indesign, but not pdf files on either printer. On Friday, at some point, I was able to print pdfs, but not photoshop or InDesign. Unfortunately I didn't write down exactly when that was, as I didn't realize at that time, that I wouldn't be able to print pdfs later on. I appreciate any help you can give me.

HELP! Convert JPG to CMYK for print on Epson Stylus Pro 4880 problems

Hello all!
I need to print a JPG file to an Epson Stylus Pro 4880 printer and keep the original colors. The JPG file is of a company logo containging text/graphic. I use CS5 to convert the file to CMYK and save it as an Adobe PDF. When I print it everything looks good but there is a reddish outline around everything. Anyone have an idea how I can get rid of the outline? I am using the US Coated (SWOP) v2 for the CMYK scheme.
Help! I need to print out some logo tags for the customer.
Thanks in advance, Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

wish I could help but I am Mac and Essentials is not in my work flow!

Problem printing from cs6 photoshop to epson stylus pro 4800 printer

Has anyone had trouble printing from cs6 on a mac running lion to a epson stylus pro 4800 printer? I keep getting an error message saying "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."" The computer sees the printer just fine and has the latest driver installed. I have removed it and reinstalled it many times . I need help with this.

Yes, the menu items are not unavailable. We were already aware of the "Reveal Arrow" issue under OSX v10.5.3. The most important print menu items such as "Print Settings" and "Color Management" are simply not present. As previously stated we've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the latest (v3.66) "Universal" print driver on both hosts and all of our client Macs. A resolution to this problem is very urgent as our semester begins this week and currently students can not print their next week assignments.

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.

When I try and print an "Approach Plate, or Departure" from ForeFlight to my Epson Stylus NX430 using AirPrint the image is resized. How can I print without it resizing. I want to have the plate print in the original size so I can use it.

When I try and print an "Approach Plate, or Departure" from ForeFlight to my Epson Stylus NX430 using AirPrint the image is resized. How can I print without it resizing. I want to have the plate print in the original size so I can use it. Is this an Apple, Epson, or Foreflight Issue? I just purchased the printer so I can return it and get a different model or brand. I spoke to Epson and the suggestions given did not resolve the issue. I have cut the paper down to the size of the plate roughly 5.5x8 and it still try's to print at 8.5x11. I have also requested help through ForeFlights Tech help but have yet to receive an answer.
Please help!

It varies based on what you ordered and whether it is in stock or has to be assenbled and shipped from China. Your email conformation should give an estimate of when the items are expected to be shipped or available for pick up if you are having it sent to a local Apple Store.

Photoshop CS6 on a Mac using an Epson Stylus PRO 3800 printer.

Installed Photoshop CS6 on a Mac Version 10.9.4. Installed an Epson Stylus PRO 3800 printer. When I try to print through Photoshop the dialogue box won't give the option to color manage. I followed the link suggested in the print dialogue box but that was for CS5 and said it will only work with TIFF files. I work with .psd files. I downloaded it but my Mac will not let me open it. Any help would be most appreciated. Mary Ellen

From Chris Cox: If you choose "Photoshop manages color", then Photoshop is managing the color and the printer driver is supposed to disable it's color controls (and let Photoshop manage the color).
If Photoshop is managing the color, then there is nothing else for the printer driver to do - so it grays out it's own color controls because they don't apply while Photoshop is managing the color.

Problems printing PSD from Photoshop CS4

My questions are: Does the PSD file have the printer information encoded?
Also why has this just started to show up? My wife has work successfully under the same conditions, files moved and printed on different printers, with no problems in the past.
I (we) have been struggling with a recent problem trying to print PSD files from Photoshop CS4. (Vista 32 bit, Epson 3880 networked) When trying to print certain, but not all, PSD files I get the message: "Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer." I have been in contact with Adobe support about the issue but with little in the way of positive results. I was referred to a kb link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/409/kb409119.html Tried all that to no avail. (The first suggestion is absurd to the point of making me wonder what process is used to construct the kbs. You cannot open the print menu when you get this message so....?)
Other solutions are not acceptable for the work my wife is doing, editing high quality photographs for an exhibition with test prints and so on. We are under intense time pressue with four shows coming up in a very short time. The final solution offered is that CS5 has solved all of this. Hum? interesting. No comment except new program, new problems so not a real solution for us.
In searching the web about this problem I have come across many other people with the same problem working from different platforms and even different Adobe products. I noticed that the MAC OS seemed to cause the same problem and that there was a problem with Reader and Acrobat. In every case the problem is never solved by Adobe or anyone else and users find some "workaround". I too have found what we hope is a workaround in our contiued travels on the blogosphere, on flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/wellington/discuss/72157621548183001/ as "...a nasty, nasty solution" but we skipped the flatten part and the GIMP part and resave the PSD under a different name.
Adobe does seem supportive but not that interested (CS4 right) but I would like to find a real solution and I think many people would benefit from it.
Anyway what I have found is that the PSD files that will not print have been printed on another printer at some time in the past. In my case the Printer was an Epson Artisan A50. The printer we are using now is the Epson Stylus Pro 3880. Even when trying to print wirelessly to the 3880 from the laptop (Was Vista, now Windows 7) that was used to edit and print with the A50, (USB connection) we saw the same error. So it seems that the printer information is somehow embedded in the PSD file (also mentioned in a Blog) and is keeping PS from seeing the printer because the same printer is not there.
Has anybody already found the fix?
I know this is a long post but I have been working on this problem and have heard all of the pat and frankly useless answers and workarounds. Can we find a solution and fix the problem?

Tech support put me on hold for about 30 minutes to 'look up my serial number'. When he came back he started saying he did find my serial nu..... and he hung up. I had already given him my callback number. Yet he never called me back when we were 'disconnected'. There is no excuse for him not calling me back. I have no reason to believe this was anything other than intentional avoidance of the problem. Before he started looking up my serial number, he told me that Photoshop didn't support working with files on a network drive (???). He also told me that even if it was found to be an actual defect in the product, I still owed the $39. The $39 was "not for finding the defect... it was for the technician's time.... (???) Where do they find these people to answer the phones?
Sorry about the venting... I'm just losing money by the day, and I get to pay for these kinds of moronic statements.
Here's the situation, yet one more time.....
1) I complete a PSD file and save it
2) I print it on one of the printers accessible by that machine
3) I then try to close the PSD, but it says the 'file has changed' The ONLY thing that has changed is that I PRINTED it. So you can't tell me PS is not saving at least something about the printing task in the file
4) If I say 'no' to the save-after-print question, I can go to another computer, open the same file and print with no problem
5) If I say 'yes' to the save-after-print question, and I go to another computer and try to print the file, I get the "In order to perform printing tasks you must define a printer" message
6) This scenario applies to any machine. Once I hit 'save' after printing, that PSD can now never be printed on any other machine other than that one.
7) And this is a user problem (???)
Somebody please tell me:
1) why PS marks a file 'changed' and requires saving after doing nothing other than printing it if it is not saving printer history/setup in the file?
2) Why I can print the PSD from any computer with PS installed as long as I don't do a save after printing from one, but as soon as I do a save after print, the file is basically locked permanently to that one machine forever?
Right... and they want a minimum of $39 to tell me a) this is a user problem, b) Photoshop doesn't support files on a shared network drive; c) "...NO.... we don't save printer information in the file, and d) get hung up on with no callback.
I have 40 years of experience in software architecture and development. I know enough to know a little bit about how these things work. And I also have been around long enough to recognize intentional denial of a product defect by the support team.

Epson stylus pro 4000 & Mac OSX & Photoshop CS6

Has anyone been able to produce acceptable prints using an Epson Stylus Pro 4000 on a MAC with OSX version 10.8.2 and Photoshop CS6? I have recently converted from Windows to MAC and made the jump from CS3 to CS6, so I have many moving parts. I have Colormunki and have calibrated the monitor and created a printer profile for my paper. My basic question is -- Am I missing certain settings or steps to correctly color manage and produce good prints, or do I need to buy a newer Epson printer because it is just not compatible with the MAC and latest photoshop?

Thanks Charles and Sir-Leto. I'm not using Colormunki. But I have been printing using Photoshop and choosing "Photoshop handles Colors" for many, many years with terrific results. As soon as I updated to OS 10.8, the colors were immediately off. The only way I have found to get the colors to print close to normal is to choose "printer handles colors" and print using "adobe RGB" under the color options. This option is not ideal, but its getting me a lot closer to my normal output. And other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Network Printing: Epson Stylus Pro 9600

Forgive me if I sound like n00b, since I am new at this Mac administration thing. I got stuck taking care of a small network of various Macs at work. These are in our graphics design dept. They have an Epson Stylus Pro 9600 that they have been using, mainly with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
Anyway, as far as I can tell, they were using the Epson via AppleTalk/Bonjour. The problem is that I was told from on high that this is a big no-no. So, I tried to setup the Epson on our Active Directory network. I assigned it an IP address, and made sure it was connected. The two main users were able to see it with the new IP address in the Print setup utility, and everything seemed ok.
When I tried printing something, however, the job hangs up. Finally, it will give an error that it could not communicate with the printer. The odd thing is that everything appears ok, and I can ping the printer address from the machines in question. Any suggestions?
The machines are a mix of G4/G5s all running 10.4.8.

If the Epson driver supports network printing, it will be called something like Epson TCP/IP, and will be found after clicking More Printers. Is that what you're using?
If you're using the Gimp-Print driver (included in OS X), then you must be using IP printer > LPD or IPP or HP Jetdirect. You'll need to read the documentation for the printer (or print server if that's how it's connected) and find out which protocol(s) is supported. TCP/IP raw (or socket or port 9100) is easiest because that equals HP Jetdirect protocol, and only the IP address is required. If LPD or IPP, then you need to find the device queue name (sometimes called port name), because this is required in Printer Setup (it's part of the address to the printer).
