Printing problem with epson and 10.2.8

Can't print on my ibook the printer show in the printer center, but not in the apple system profiler. what can I do to print?

try shutting everything off, disconnect USB cable for the iBook and the printer,
plug the cable back in and restart, see what happens
did it ever work before though?
maybe go to the Epson site and download the driver for your printer model, try reinstalling

    Hi Agung,
    Here is a way out for the issue you have submitted. I can't guarantee that this wayout work perfectly:
    Question:
    As we know that the dos matrix printer supports dos prompt and thus printing speed and
    life of the printing head is comparatively more than what we print the same in graphical format.
    So when I tried to print from SAP Bone in dot matrix printer, the printing speed is very slow and quality of printout is not good enough.
    Any clarifications on this regard would prove very helpful to me.
    Regards,

    Solution:
    Do you use one of this printer types:
    Dot Matrix, Printer, Needle Printer, Citizen ProDot 300 , Oki Microline, Epson FX880, Epson FX890 ?
    Here the stepwise I have tried :
    In order to print using Dot Matrix printers, follow the below
    instructions:
    1. Run SAP Business One.
    2. Click the upper menu 'File' and select 'Page Setup'.
    3. The Print Setup window opens. Under 'Paper', in the field 'Size', select 'Letter' from the drop down menu.
    4. Click OK to confirm your selection.
    5. On your desktop, click Start => Settings => Printers.
    6. Right click on the required Dot Matrix printer and select 'Printing Preferences...'.
    7. Click the 'Paper/Quality' tab page and click the 'Advanced' pushbutton.
    8. Under'Paper/Output'=> 'Paper Size', click on the underlined paper size(e.g. A4) and select 'Letter' from the drop down menu.
    Note that if you leave the value 'A4', each page will be spreaded over 2 pages when printing using Dot Matrix printers.
    9. Under 'Graphic'=> 'Print Quality', click on the underlined value (e.g. 230X250 dots per inch) and select '120X144 dots per inch' from thedrop down menu.
    Note that in case the value '120X144' is not available you should select a similar value from the list.
    I did not test it yet and I am not so sure about the result but you could test it.

  • Image printing problem with Photoshop and Lightroom specifically with 11X14 cuts off top of image and moves bottom border up. Windows 7 OS - Epson Printer is working properly.

    Have an unprecedented problem with printing 11X14 photos in both PS and Lightroom. The printer is operataing properly. Printing 81/2X11 correctly. Have double and triple checked all the printing settings and they are correct. Have checked with friends to no avail. This problem started yesterday. Widows 7 OS. Need help.

    You show the OS receiving an image from Photoshop, and the OS starting the Epson print driver and handing it part of the image, the driver connects to the printer, then the print driver fails. It looks like a bug in the Epson rasterizer, or the printer communication.
    You really need to talk to Epson.  Photoshop isn't involved in that error.

  • Printing problem with Epson R290 Illustrator and inDesign

    I am running CS2 on Leopard and have recently purchased an Epson R290. The first time I used it with Illustrator and InDesign it worked fine but now whenever I print anything it prints a tiny version (about a sixth of the real size) of the design in the top left corner of the page. It does this both with new documents and old ones that used to print ok.

    Since I posted the message about this problem I have discovered that it can be worked around by choosing a higher quality print. ie if you choose plain paper when printing from Illustrator or InDesign the printer prints a reduced size image but if you choose Ink jet mat or glossy the print comes out fine. I don't have this problem with Photoshop but that may be that I always print high quality from that application. I don't use Appleworks Draw so don't know whether this solves the problem for that application but iWork documents print ok.

  • Printing problems with CS5 and Epson Photo R2880 printer

    I'm having problems getting good prints when using Photoshop CS5 with my Epson Photo R2880 printer, problems I never had with CS4. Here's the situation:
    If I take a PSD file and print it using CS4, everything works out perfectly. But if I take that same PSD file and print it out using CS5, the print is now offset top to bottom, as well as left to right, along with a 1/8" black strip being printed down the right edge of the paper. As far as I can tell, everything is set the same.
    I've compared all the print information found in the Print dialog summary box between CS4 and CS5 and everything appears to be the same. I've verified that I'm using the latest print driver with my printer, and I am. It's 8.27.  I've verified that I've checked off the box to center the print to the paper, each time I've made a print. And in trying to figure out what's going on, I've discovered that this problem occurs with any paper size when using CS5, but not with CS4.
    I'm stumped and frustrated and without any more ideas as to what I should do next, except to always print my projects using CS4. If anyone has an idea for me, please let me know! Thanks!
    P.s. I'm new at using this forum, and though I thought I sent this out once already, I never saw it posted. If I'm in error and it's already out there, sorry for the mistake and posting it twice.

    And no, I don't sell prints for big bux, so whether they are going to last a hundred years is not a concern. Besides, until someone is around long enough to verify those claims, the jury is out. I've got color prints from the wet days that are fading after 20+ years. Third party inks are not necessarily lower quality than OEM. One of the reasons for the development of high quality third party inks was the dissatisfaction of B&W and fine art printers with the OEM products.
    Of course the cheap refilled/knockoff carts being hawked on ebay and the like are a different story.

  • Printing Problems with CS3 and Epson R1800

    Recently upgraded to CS3 and have now lost most printing options for Epson Stylus Photo R1800. Had no problems with CS2 running in Leopard. Anyone know what has happened?

  • Printing problem with cc and cs6 with epson 7890

    Hi everyone,
    I am having a serious printing problem. I use CC (14.2.1) and CS 6 (13.0.6) on Mavericks 10.9.1 on an iMac. If I try to make a print on a 24" roll I get an error message: cupsRasterinterpretPDD has an error = page header unsupported values. If I print A2 or A3 sheets everything works fine.
    I contacted Epson because I thought it was a printer problem, but they insist it is a photoshop problem. I updated to the latest printerdriver.
    Does anyone have any ideas or even better a solution?

    I feel your pain, but I don't know the solution, sorry. Our Mac guru who primarily serves designers is not upgrading any of his clients to Mavericks so far, due to printing (and other) issues. Se we're still on 10.8.4 here.

  • PSE 9 printing problem with Epson printer

    hello there,
    I am using PSE 9  with Windows XP and Epson 3880 printer. I have re-installed all programs/drivers a couple of times. PSE9 Printer dialogue will not let me print choosing "Let Photoshop Manage Colour".  It will only let me print with "Let Printer Manage Colour".  I am using Epson papers.
    When I select "Let Photoshop Manage Colour", a box appears saying "ICC profile no longer available" and it won't let me print.  Is this a PSE 9 problem or an Epson problem?
    thanks !!!

    Well, I actually found the answer. I spoke to an Epson Rep!
    I used to have the Epson 2200 printer, then the Epson 3800, and now I use the 3880 printer on Windows XP and Windows 7 on my laptop.
    When you uninstall the other 2 printers, the color profiles are still in your program files and can become corrupted.
    This is why, in PSE 9, when I checked the box Let Photoshop Elements Manage Colour, it woildn`t print and instead there was the pop-up box ``ICC profile no longer available`` because it was trying to access the old paper profiles and not the ones that came with the 3880. I use Epson papers, by the way.
    The solution was to go into C-Drive, Program Files, System 32, spool,drivers, colour, and this opens to the ICC profiles used by the printer. Then I deleted the old paper profiles associated with my former printers.
    And it worked !!

  • Printing problem with Pages and iWork

    This problem has been troubling me for months. I have an HP OfficeJet Pro K5400 colour inkjet printer. I have installed the latest s/w drivers so it's all up to date as far as I'm aware. The problem is that when printing from Pages - or indeed any iWork application, I select 'normal' print quality and 'plain' paper, but the printer refuses to print in anything other than 'high quality'. Even if I choose 'draft' quality, the printer prints high quality. I print lots of reports and never need 'high quality' besides which it takes 4 times longer to print and uses twice as much ink (and looks dreadful on the paper I use).
    Now here is the even odder thing, the printer prints as directed to Office 08, Mail, Safari and Text Edit. But I have the same problem of it ignoring my printing options in iPhoto and iCal. It also works fine from my wife's PC.
    HP has been truly hopeless in trying to sort out the problem. I have reinstalled the drivers many times and cleared out all kinds of files as directed by them. The problem originated in November last year when I upgraded to Leopard.
    I have installed the following drivers as directed by HP: HPInstaller_OJPK5400v9.7.1, HP v9.7Inkjet OS X 10.5 Update.
    Hope someone out there can help.

    Perhaps I should invest in another inkjet printer. Are you saying I should avoid HP and Epson? In which case how about Canon? Would that work or are there others you could recommend.
    Good question. IMHO there is no reason to reject any particular make and model of inkjet, but there is also no reason to suppose that the supplier will support that make and model beyond its short lifetime which is sort of supposed to be the lifetime of the version of the operating system for which the 'dumb' raster driver was developed. It's just the way it is, unfortunately.
    One should purchase the type of printer product that suits one's purpose. For proofing of copy a black and (single colourant) grayscale laser is superior to an inkjet. For proofing of photographs a colour inkjet which is correctly calibrated, correctly characterised, and for which colourants are correctly converted in the colour correction software and pagination software can hit within 1-2 dE of the print on a press operated with automatic colour control.
    Sorry to be so unhelpful, but there are four printers and shelves of software here, and it's not simple, unfortunately.

  • Printing Problem with Epson R320 (Print CD)

    Problem: I cannot print using Print CD with a new Epson Stylus Photo R320, however I can print from applications using the gimp beta driver provided in OS software, via <Print Using> dialogue box.
    Power Mac G4 dual 450, running 10.4.6.
    After phoning Epson, I downloaded the needed driver from Epson and went through the installation process with an Epson tech. However I cannot seem to access this driver in the print utility. The Printer Setup Utility is forcing me to choose a “gimp” driver. Some discussions on this site suggest choosing just Epson usb—the question is how with the way the dialogue boxes are configured in Printer Setup Utility. The problem seems to be I am unable to access the driver through the <Print Using> menu in the utility. If I select more printers, (after highlighting the R320) this causes the print utility to crash.
    I have repaired permissions, reset the printer setup, uninstalled, reinstalled; actually I have done everything I could find to do. The problem seems so simple. I easily created my CD label; now I would just like to print it!! Any ideas from all the pros on this list. Thank you.

    I have an Epson R320 and have communication problems.You start the job and after about 5 seconds you get a ! in the dock on the printer icon and on opening you see "job stopped".
    I am no expert but it seems to me that the program e.g.MYOB accounting fails to pass the data to OSX.
    If I de install and reinstall the epson drivers and repair permission it will work ...but then the next day on re-booting we are back to the same state of not working.
    I have informed Epson and am waiting for a reply. The epson printer tests and standalone mode works. OSX problem?

  • Printing problem with Epson Workforce 840 & iPhoto 6

    My iPhoto 6 works fine with our other printer - HP Officejet.
    However, when I try to print a 4x6 photo with the Epson Workforce 840, the "iPhoto" tab in the print settings doesn't offer the usual set of paper options.  It only offers a limited set including Letter, A4, and a bunch of weird papers called: EPKG; EP8x10in; EPHiVision102x180; EPPhotoPaperLRoll; etc.   No, there's no "EP4x6". 
    I choose 4x6 in page setup, but that doesn't help.  I've downloaded and installed the Epson drivers and rebooted.

  • Printing problem with Epson photo 2200

    I have a Powerbook G4 running the most recent version of OSX. I can no longer print to my Epson Photo 2200. When I try and print the Printer window pops up, and the job automatically stops without printing.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the 2200 driver, I have hooked up a Canon printer to the powerbook (and this printer works fine with the powerbook), I have printed a test sheet on the 2200 (which is done without a connection to the Powerbook and it printed fine). The problem lies in the computer printer connection (I am using USB for the link).
    Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    I had a similar problem with a Epson Stylus Photo R800. The printer would not print Word docs or DVD media using the most updated software from Epson. After going through two printers I paid a consultant to come in on a Saturday night who told me that communication errors between Epson printers and current versions of the MacOS are encountered every day in his business. And neither Apple or Epson address the issue directly.
    To get the Stylus Photo R800 to work we had to reconfigure the driver to deal with Manual Feeding of documents and DVDs. It took about an hour of experimentation but once done...with no help from Apple or Epson...the printer did work very well. However, the Epson Print CD software is a total bust. We found a third party solution called DiscLabel that allowed us to print DVDs with the reconfigured driver. I'm disgusted with both Apple and Epson because Epson sells printer with the promise that it will work with the MacOS when three hours of struggle with useless software proved otherwise.
    If others have a better experience or know of simple solutions to the Epson Print CD problem please post them.
    Thanks in advance for tolerating my rant.

  • Elements 9 printing problems with epson 3880

    HI All:
    Elements was working fine with epson 3880.
    Problems developed:
    1. Would print color pics in black and white only while in Editor; color pics printed ok in Organizer
    2. Now Print Preview does not work in either Editor or Organizer
    3. Now cannot print in either Editor or Organizer
    I purchased Elements online.  I do not have a CD for reinstall.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I am having a similar problem that seems the reverse of yours in a way, though it may be related. Mine occurred only with the disk-installed version, not the downloaded trial version, and it was present from the start on my iMac. Everything worked fine with the 3880 and 2400 printing from the trial version of PSE9 (downloaded), just as it had with PSE8. CS5 and Apple Aperture are also installed and had been working normally. Then I received the install disk for PSE9 and installed it. After that, Preview did not produce a preview, PDF did not produce a PDF, and Print did not produce a print. CS5 also would not preview or print after that. Aperture, however, was unaffected. Some experimentation revealed that the problem occurred only with "Photoshop Elements Manages Color" selected and printer color management turned off. With "Printer Manages Color" selected, it printed.
    I uninstalled both CS5 and PSE9 and reinstalled 8, which once again worked properly. Hoping there had been an install error as the cause of the problem with the original installation of 9, I then uninstalled 8 and reinstalled 9, and the problem recurred. So it's back to PSE8, and try to figure out how to call the problem to Adobe's attention without paying for a tech support session. Interesting that a glitch that causes a problem with PSE's printing can also affect PS's printing.
    I suspect your problem is related to mine. Do you use a Mac? I think the reason the problem didn't occur at first with my system is that the trial installation is not the same as the paid one, if only because the trial version doesn't have the user sign up with Photoshop.com or whatever it is, which I had never done until I installed 9 from the disk. So it seems that something in the full, purchased version is causing the glitch. I have no idea why your version should have worked at first, then crumped.
    Two more things I'm going to do now: reinstall CS5 on the iMac (should be OK, as it was before I got 9), and install 9 on my laptop to see what happens.
    My advice for now is to download the trial version of 9, uninstall the current installation of 9, install the downloaded trial version, and (without entering the serial # from your downloaded version) see if it works properly. Then contact tech support. Especially if you have a Mac, tell them you have heard from others who have related the same problem to you.

  • Printing Problems with Epson R200 Printer

    When I try to print from Aperture my prints come out "flat" and the colors are off. When I export the the same file to PS Elements 4.0 my prints come out great. I would prefer to not have to do this. Here is some background information on what I have tried to do so far to correct this problem:
    1. I have searched this forum backwards and forwards to try and find an answer - no luck!
    2. Purchased a Spyder2 monitor calibrator
    3. Wasted a lot of paper trying various settings.
    4. Yes - I have read the two articles on the Aperture site regarding printing and calibration. I have followed both of these articles and still get poor prints when printing from Aperture.
    5. I have met with the genius at my local Apple Store to work through the problem. He informed me that he only prints from Photoshop and did not really know how to solve my problem.
    6. Purchased the Aperture 1.5 book from Apple to see if I could find out anything else that I had not already tried.
    Help please, what am I missing? It seems to me that all of the books written on Aperture stress printing books and not photo prints as their main area on printing. Can I get the same results printing from Aperture as I can printing from Photoshop Elements?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I'll attempt to answer my own question. After much trial and error along with a lot of wasted paper and ink I have found the source of the problem. Aperture works exactly like it should if you follow Apple's recomendations for printing. My problem was that the profiles supplied for my printer by Epson are horrible! I purchased a Spyder 2 Suite screen calibrator to try and fix this problem and did not have any luck until I ran the included Print FX software and created a new profile for my printer (Epson R200). The prints are now coming out great and virutally indistinguishable from those printed via Photoshop Elements. The clue to fixing this is that when I turned on "on-screen" proofing and selected my old printer profile the output did match the screen. Unfortuntely the screen images were not using the full gamut of color (hence the flat pictures) because it was gettting it's information from the Epson ICC Profile. In summary, if you are suffering from this problem find a way to create your own profile for your printer. There are expensive methods which involve purchasing a spectrophotometer. I took the middle of the road route and created a profile using a software only profiler (Print FX). I'm sure that depending on your printer you could download a better profile on the web. Either way you get it done you'll be happier. NOTE: I guess some printers come with better profiles than others which would explain why some people don't have any problems.
