Printing problem using LR3 with Snow Leopard (IMAC i5) on Epson 3800:

My 5x7 crops are not being printed as selected and as shown on the print previews. The printed images cover the entire sheet but are somewhat cut-off as if LR3 had slghtly enlarged the file before sending it to the printer. After going through the print settings with me, Epson Support has assured me that their print drivers do not enlarge the files that they receive from LR. I am experiencing the same issue with both borderless and non-borderless prints. I am keen to send pictures to my friends and relations of my new grandson but have been working with this problem for a few days now. Can someone please help me?

My name is Syd and I work for Epson America, Inc.
When printing borderless, the image will have to be slightly larger to achieve borderless prints.  The Epson printer driver has two options for borderless printing - Borderless Auto Expand and Borderless Retain Size.  Each paper size will have both options available.
Borderless Auto Expand means the printer driver will expand the image automatically.  There is a setting for how much the driver will expand.  At the print window of the Epson printer driver, there is a setting called Expansion.  Here you will see three settings; Min, Mid and Max.
Borderless Retain Size mean you are enlarging the image yourself, controlling what you want to cut off.  The measurement of expansion is 1/8 inch to all sides, thus adding a 1/4 inch to width and height of the image.
Here to help,
Syd

  • Migration problem, MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard, iMac with Lion

    My husband just got a new iMac with Lion, and is trying to transfer the contents from his MacBook Pro, which runs Snow Leopard.  After an unsuccessful wifi attempt, he ended up hooking his Time Capsule backup of his MacBook Pro to his new iMac.  It seemed to work at first, but he's been experiencing computer squirrelly-ness.  Icons and letters move without his directing them to (through either a Bluetooth trackpad, or a plug-in trackball he tried).  I think both computers, both the sending and receiving, need the same operating system.  Is this correct?  He's trying to avoid buying Lion for the old MacBook, if possible.  Thanks!

    Thank you, Joe!  As it turned out, my husband was able to resolve the problem by running some repair utilities and upgrading other software on his new iMac to be compatible with Lion, so he didn't get a chance to try your suggestion.  That would have been his next step, and we appreciate your help. 

  • I am using FCP 4.5. what do I need to do to use it with snow leopard?

    I am using FCP 4.5. what do I need to do to use it with snow leopard?

    Yes.
    If you do NOT need to keep working right NOW, wait until summer and the new Final Cut Pro X release. No real idea about it other than the interface will likely be significantly changed along with the unerlying video engine.
    If you do need to be productive today, order the FCS 2009 (aka Final Cut Studio 3) Suite. Unless your FCP4.5 is the Academic Version, you'll be able to upgrade for $299 (US pricing. Unsure of the cost in the rest of the world.
    Good luck,

  • HP 8150N Printer still not working with Snow Leopard

    I went to the Hewlett Packard page for a new driver and was told the new driver for my printer was included in the Snow Leopard update. I'm sure it is, but my computer can't find the printer. I've used advice from other discussions and tried what I could with the "Print & Fax" feature on my computer, but so far, nothing works. The printer to a network with two other computers in my office. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

    I believe this to be a "generic" statement since the support agent did not know what your problem was. I have double checked, and there are no known issues with the driver for the 8150n (at least none that engineering has been informed of and is working on).
    I fully believe the problem you are experiencing is due to the lack of AppleTalk in Snow Leopard.
    First print out the IP address of your printer by printing the configuration page. You may also be able to get this information on the front panel if you dig.
    Second, open up the print and fax control panel and click the + button to add a printer. In the add printer window that opens, select the IP button at the top, choose the protocol of HP JetDirect - Socket, and then type the IP address of the printer. If the OS automatically selects the right printer driver (and not Generic PostScript) you are good to go. Click Add Printer and happy printing.
    If it doesn't auto select the right printer then your printer probably does not have an IP address that is routable from the Mac. The easiest way to get the printer to grab a new IP address is to cold reset it. Cold Reset the printer by powering it down and then powering it back up while holding down the GO button.
    This should force the printer to grab a new IP address. Follow the above steps again to add the printer, and away you'll go.
    One drawback of this method is if you have a network that keeps changing and a DHCP server that doesn't reserve IP addresses for devices it is possible that the printer at some point in the future updates its IP address and is no longer reachable. If this happens, simply repeat the steps and you'll be all set. The other alternative is to assign a static IP address to your printer, but that takes a bit more work.

  • My XP printer no longer works with snow leopard over the network

    My XP networked printer (Samsung 4200) no longer works with snow leopard after Mac update.  Printer hooked up to XP and can access it through network.
    When I print it requests that I to authenticate the printer with a user name and password but it's not password protected. I don't have a password, but I tried all the usuals anyways. 
    It worked fine a couple days ago, and I've tried everything since.  I've reset my printers, turned off both computers.  Plugged the printer directly into the Mac - didn't work at first but downloaded a new driver Splix - 2 (Samsung doesn't make an OS X driver for this printer) and got it working.  Reinstalled Bonjour on the PC, which can't even see a printer now.  Any help would be hugely appreciated.
    THanks in advance.

    Connecting from a Mac to Windows is password protected. If you tried to connect to a shared folder on Windows you would also be prompted to enter your Windows credentials. So when you do print next time, enter your Windows user details and password. If XP has no password then set one - it is bad practise to have a Windows computer without a password. And updates to Mac OS X expect you to have one set in the Windows computer.
    If for some reason you don't want to set a password in XP then enable the Guest account and you can use this on the Mac when you get the prompt (either select Guest or type it in).

  • Can't duplex print B4 paper size with Snow Leopard and HP8100N

    Apple print drivers dumped the standard European paper size B4 (see ISO 216 for specs) many OS's ago, however, I was able to duplex print B4, which is a standard size for the HP8100 trays, using the HP Duplexing accessory, by specifying a 'custom' paper size (10.14 x 14.33). Now, with Snow Leopard and the 10.6.4 and the updated HP8100 print driver from Apple, I get the message "The Duplex Option, Flip on Short Edge" is not available when the destination paper is set to Custom."
    It seems the easiest solution would be for Apple to bring back the B4 paper size--I don't know why they eliminated it. The next solution would be for Apple or HP (whoever is responisble for the print driver) to back up to whatever allowed duplexing of custom sizes in all recent OS's up to Snow Leopard.
    I have thousands of pages of music to print and manual duplexing just isn't an option. Anybody have any work-around ideas?

  • Printing problems after "upgrading" to Snow Leopard

    Under Leopard my two printers (HP Deskjet 970 Cxi and Epson Stylus Photo 2100) worked just fine.
    With Snow Leopard the quality of the prints with the two printers is simply bad. The print-driver is: gutenprint v5.2.3 even an upgrade to gutenprint v5.2.4 did not make any difference.
    When printing a test page with the Epson Stylus Photo 2100 the printer simply pauses during the print somewhere along the test page. When the printer is started again (green button in the printer window) it starts printing from the beginning again and pauses again. Useless!

    Eric,
    For the Deskjet, I'd suggest using the Leopard drivers (off of the Leopard DVD). They will give you much better quality printing, although you'll have to deal with lack of features printing from 64-bit apps. The easiest way to work around them is to print through Preview an force Preview to run in 32-bit mode.
    The other option would be to install the [HPIJS|http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macos x/hpijs] drivers.

  • HP 7400 printer won't work with Snow Leopard.

    I recently updated my iMac to Snow Leopard and now I can't print to my HP OfficeJet 7400.  I know the printer works, as I can print from my laptop which is on Windows 7.  Any recommendations to get my iMac with Snow Leopard to print to my 7400?

  • In Contribute CS3, using MacBookPro with Snow Leopard HELP locked

    I am using Contribute CS3 and I can connect to site, but when I get into the edit screen whenever I click anywhere, I get the rainbow spiral and it literally takes 20 to 30 minutes to stop.  then when I click again to do something it starts again and I can't ever make any changes.  It says I also have an unpublished document but when I click on the "unpublished document" hot words, I go into spiral again.  what can I do?   I am on a MacBook Pro with snow Leopard.

    That error is NOT because of the activation. That's a separate issue.

  • HP Printer Won't Work With Snow Leopard

    Hi, I hope you can help. I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard and my HP printer won't print. It is a Laserjet 1015 and new drivers are meant to be on the list with SN. My iMac recognises the printer is there but cannot make a connection. I am networking it using an Airport which is working fine. I have even reset the printer system and deleted the printer and added it again but after starting to process a document to print it just stops.
    The other thing is that Pages v 1.0.2 also won't work now. I can open the software, but it can't open any existing documents nor will it open a new blank template. This is my work software (I'm a journalist) so this is a real worry. Any suggestions??
    Thanks so much
    Jo

    Hi JoJoh,
    I can't be of much help with the printer but I just checked my "Pages" and my version number is 4.0.2. I'm using iWork 09. Perhaps you need to update? I just checked the "Snow Leopard Compatible" site and found "Apple Pages 4.0.2" is compatible. It didn't mention 1.0.2. I'm so sorry. That's pretty rough when it's how you make your living.
    As for the printer, I have an HP Photosmart C4580 which wouldn't print. I finally just deleted all the printers on my MacBook and used my Snow Leopard install disk and selected the "Optional Install" which allowed me to just reinstall the printers. My HP is now working fine. I do feel like this is just a work-around until HP gets things sorted out. I say that because even though my HP now works, the only place it shows up is in my users folder. It's not in my Applications folder, but as long as it works for now, I don't care.
    Hope I was of some help to you. Best of luck!

  • Printer won't work with Snow Leopard

    Hello,
    I have been using a Lexmark colour printer with my iMac. I upgraded to Snow Leopard and since then my printer does not work. Does anyone have a solution to this as I don't really want to buy another printer, especially as I have bought a new stock or print cartridges for the printer.
    Many thanks to anyone who can help.
    Kind regard, Maggi

    Hello Maggi:

  • 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.

  • Printer problem after upgrade to Snow Leopard

    My trusty HP Deskjet 1200C printer keeps giving an error now I have upgraded to Snow Leopard (on the way to Lion for iCloud). I checked for an upgraded driver on the HP site but there doesn't seem to be one after OS 10.6
    I am getting this error - PrintJobMgr failed
    Any suggestions welcome and advice for what will and won't work with Lion.
    Thanks

    Try to restart, see if problem still happens.
    If it does.. remove printer (and other periferals) from the computer and do an SMC reset. Also unplug your printer's power as well to rest it too.
    Also, do a PRAM reset.
    Let us know how it goes.

  • Airport Dropouts with Snow Leopard Imac

    I have a late 2007 aluminum Imac and have been experiencing severe airport dropouts since upgrading to Snow Leopard. I am wondering if anyone has found a fix for this? Many possible workarounds were mentioned in a substantial thread (link provided below), but there have been no solutions offered which have worked for me (I have tried them all). I would greatly appreciate any input that anyone may have regarding the constant WiFi dropouts that I, and all of the other Snow Leopard users I know, have been experiencing since upgrading to Snow Leopard?

    There are several posts with the same theme and no clear cut answers. A suggestion is to call Apple. Tell them you upgraded to SL and you get a free troubleshooting call. The feeling is that there is some bug in SL and the more people calling the more likely Apple will try to fix.
