Printing to an Epson 7900 under Mavericks

Anyone experienced problems printing to an Epson 7900 under Mavericks OS X 10.9 ?
According to Epson I have the latest drivers installed for the 7900, V9.04
I have 2 MACS - a MacBookPro running under Mountain Lion and I've updated my MacBook Air to run 10.9.
No problems printing the same file from the MacBookPro.
On the MacAir, I certainly see the printer; can send a file to it - but it prints and is terribly garbled. I see supply levels on the MacAir too.
But the interaction with the Driver is strange - it keeps reverting back to my HP 2100, Updating the settings in the printing Presets doesn't stick, etc.
the print is an almost total mess - it's the right size and you can see the image and some parts are fine - but the rest of it looks like it's done with drastic motion blur (so that looks like the driver is scrambling something).
If nobody else has seen this, then I will start by deleting the driver; re-installing it all and so forth - but just interested to see if anybody else out there has had trouble with it.

Problems to print contacts with specific fields under Maverick.

I am unable to print contacts with specific, selected fields like `firm´ or `position´under Mavericks. The selected fields will not show up in the printing preview and not be printed at all. Any ideas?

Thanks, John! It seems you guessed correct, partly at least. I turned some of the problamatic fields off and on again an these are showing up now and I can print them. Great!
However, I can see the field "firma" (German = company in English) in the previewed sample card but not in the pull down menu "Add Field". That means, I am unable to turn it off/on. The intersting thing: The field is visible and selectable even in the printer dialog were you can select the fields you would like to print but it remains unprintable.
Again, many thanks, John!

How do you print comments in pages under mavericks?

How do you print comments in pages under mavericks? Earlier if show comments was checked, all the comments were visible and could be easily printed. Now only those comments are visible on which the cursor is pointed but even those do not get printed!

Thanks to all for to the 'older Pages' suggestion. I don't have the last Pages on my mac anymore (although this is probably just me being really, really dumb), but the suggestion inspired me to try another very similar work around - which was also successful. Just in case anyone's in the same situation as me, am sharing it here!
For absurd reasons I won't bother to explain, I've also got a version of Word for Mac. I prefer writing on Pages, though, so all my documents (and their comments...) are Pages files. In the really unlikely event that you've also ended up with both Pages and Word (I know...) just export to a .docx file, open it with Word, and print from there. It retains all comments, track chages, etc. This seems really obvious, but I hadn't thought of it...
This can also be a work around for the lack of 'Compare Documents' and/or 'Merge Documents'.
Of course this would all be much better if it were actually just in Pages...I hope this helps, and thanks!

How do i connect an epson 7900 printer to an apple extreme

I just purchased an Epson 7900 HDR printer that is in my den. I have it connected with a USB connection on the Airport Extreme to the network connection on the back of the printer.I am trying to print wirelessly from my Imac that is located in another room.
I can't seem to get it to recognize or "see the Epson printer"
I would appreciate any insight to solve the issue.

Can you briefly describe the steps that you took to install the printer at the AirPort Extreme and then try to print?
What happens after each step?

When i 'upgraded' to Mavericks, it locked me out and shut down my computer. now it won't print from my Epson Stylus CX3810. Epson doesn't have the driver to download and neither does the App store. Suggestions?

I'm having similar problems with my Epson Stylus DX5000. There was no in-built driver available (the generic old and new Stylus drivers didn't work), so downloaded the latest driver from Epson site. It shows as being available to print to, but just sends data to the print queue then job disappears.
I hope you're right C F McBlob, I could do with printing today but if there are new drivers available from November 5, then so be it.

Aperture crashes when printing to Epson 7900

I just purchased an Epson 7900 and received it today. If from Aperture 3.4.3 I print on glossy paper with the Photo Black ink, everything is fine.
If I want to print to a matte Fine Art Paper with the Matte Black Ink, in the Epson printer driver when I click to tell the printer that my media type is Velvet Fine Art, Aperture crashes every time.
Any idea?

Have you checked, if there is an update for the printer driver available? Maybe the printer software that came with the installation media of the printer needs updating to be compatible with MacOS X 10.8.3.
Can you print from other applications on matte paper, for example from "Preview"?

My Epson 7900 gives me an error message now that I have installed Lion.

As soon as I install lion my epson printer 7900 refused to work. All i get is an error message now. I know this is a new o/s but you would have thought it would have worked with a popular printer like this. Anyone got any ideas. I ve already checked on the epson site for a new driver but they dont semmed to have one. I am quite desperate to get my work out as I am a photographer and have clients waiting for their pictures. Any help would be appreciated.

Which Epson printer? The Epson LP-7900 is support with a driver avaiable from Apples SU server:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669
The SP7900 is a speciality printer. You will need to download the latest driver from Epson. Their latest 10.6 driver should work.

Well, I have this printer too, and I get the following response from the System Prefs Printers and Scanners when I select to add this printer:
"The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer’s manufacturer for the latest software."
When you go to the Epson website for this particular printer it says:
"The latest drivers for this product are available only via Apple's Software Update."
And finally, when you go to Software Update it says: "No updates available"
I second OMT8.
Yes, the driver file at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398 allowed me to finally install my printer, but does Apple have _any idea_ how long it takes to download a 1.08GB file over a 1.5mbps DSL connection?
Never mind how much of my pricey new SSD is being consumed by the resulting 1.80GB of driver files all for _one_ printer driver that should maybe occupy 200K?
Or that the primary article on OS X printer drivers (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669) -- which does indicate that the Artisan 830 is supported -- does not mention or link to the driver file that's needed to make it work?
Or what a complete violation of Apple's "it just works" gestalt it is to be confronted with the above Catch-22 and to have to search the web and then go through all of the above to make a new laptop talk to a two-year-old printer?
Yes, my printer now works, and yes, Apple's Support Communities were instrumental in getting to this point. But spending all morning (plus download time) getting a printer driver installed tastes way too much like I paid for Apple and got Microsquish.

Printing Problem with EPSON LX 300+

Dear all,
I have met a problem with Epson LX 300+. After I set up printing on PLD, the result printing is bad. Font and setting are not the same as preview in SBO. How to solve this matter..? I used SBO 2005A PL 43.
Thanks for your help....

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.

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.
Rgds,

I upgraded from OS 10.4.11 to 10.6.8 and now cannot print to my Epson Stylus Photo RX595. When I try, I recieve the following error message: Error:/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/PrintJobMgr/Contents/MacOS/PrintJobMgr failed. Is this a driver issue?

Is my inability to print from my Intel iMac with OS 10.6.8 related to a driver problem? I checked the Epson website for up-to-date drivers, but they appear to only have print drivers good through OS 10.5x. I did the Apple software update yesterday so everything is up-to-date. Is there no support for the Epson RX545 under OS 10.6x?

When you upgrade from a previous OS there is always a chance that you will bring some setting that is not compatible with the new OS. This can be the driver as noondaywitch suggests but it can also be the core printing system. In the case of the latter, it is a good idea to reset the printing system when a core error occurs. Note that the reset sets the printing system back to default and removes your currently installed printer and scanner queues. But it does not remove the supporting drivers, so you only need to install the driver again.
How to Reset the Printing System
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Scan/Fax
2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
4. Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
5. Restart your Mac
Just one additional thing to note. In checking the supported printer list for 10.6 from Apple, your RC545 is not listed so running the Software Update will not provide you with a driver for this printer. So if Epson does not have a driver for 10.6, and it appears that Apple does not provide one, then what you have already from the previous installation is it. And if this doesn't work, then you may have to look at either an alternate driver or getting another printer. But let's wait and see what happens after the reset.

Hi When going from Develop module to print module a white boarder appears on screen which also prints via my epson r3000 printer. I can get round this by exporting photo to Elements and printing from there but can i get rid of the boarder and print from lightroom?

In the printer driver (accessed through the Page Setup button) set the Advanced tab to borderless. Then in the right hand panel under Layout set all the margins to zero.

You could try deleting the /Library/Printer/EPSON and the /Library/Caches/Epson/ folder and then reinstalling the updates.

Photoshop CC 2014 zerschneidet Papier bei Epson 7900

Der aktuelle Epson 7900 Treiber (Oktober 2013) funktioniert nicht mit Photoshop CC 2014 unter OS X Mavericks, der gleiche Treiber mit den gleichen Einstellungen funktioniert fehlerfrei (auch wenn die Bedienung eine Frechheit von Epson ist) unter Photoshop CC (vor 2014 Version). Auch unter CS6 funktioniert dieser Treiber nicht, der sonst in allen anderen Programmen funktioniert von Preview bis Word... alles druckt nur CC 2014 und CS6 nicht.
Als Kunde von Epson und Adobe bin ich nur noch sauber, jeder schiebt es auf den anderen und die Kunden stehen im Regen (CS6 und 7900 läuft bis heute nicht, Adobe ist angeblich nicht schuld obwohl der Treiber mit jeder anderen Software läuft und Epson will es auch nicht gewesen sein)el
Zusammenfassung: Die exakt gleichen Einstellungen drucken fehlerfrei in CC (vor 2014) und allen anderen Programmen nur nicht mit CS6 und CC 2014 (CC lässt den drucker Papier abschneiden, CS6 vergißt den Druck jedes zweite mal)

Was für Informationen?...
Hardware?
iMac 27 Zoll, Ende 2009
2,8 GHz Intel Core i7
24 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB
Drucker: Epson Stylus Pro 7900 (firmware aktuell))
Versionen? Alles ist aktuell:
OS X 10.9.3 (aktuell, keine Betaprogrammteilnahme)
Photoshop CC 2014 Version 2014.0.0
Epson Treiber Version (Oktober 2013, Version 9.17)
Drucken löst einen Vorschub des Papiers in der angegeben größe aus und er schneidet dann ein leeres Stück Papier von der Rolle... so liegen hier schon einige sehr teure Stücke Papier ;-/

Epson R280 printer won't print after Apple Epson driver update

I have a 27" iMac running Mountain Lion. I use an Epson R280 printer to print directly onto CD/DVD media. Have used this printer daily for over three years. After an Apple Epson Driver update, I get a 'communication error' message and cannot print. Uninstalled and reinstalled printer. Power cycled printer and rebooted iMac. No Change. Hooked up same printer to my MacBook Pro running Mavericks and printer works. Ideas?

Thanks, Eric. I had tried that previously, but had no luck. I would add the printer back in after Reset, and it still didn't work. The real key step which I found from a previous solution was taking the existing print drivers in Library/Printers/Epson and trashing that folder and then emptying the trash. With those drivers gone, when I rebooted and then powered up and added the printer, Apple prompted me to download new drivers, and 'Voila!'. Back up and running. Thanks much.

I have CS5 which has stopped printing on my Epson R2880,

I have downloaded the drivers for the printer again but Epson say there is no problem with the printer as it prints ok from Microsoft and Apple products,
I reloaded CS5 from the original disc, still no joy so downloaded S5 again, after uninstalling,from the Adobe website.
There are now four updates which will not load, so I am now in the position of not being able to print but also not being able to open my NEF RAW files in Bridge or CS5
The error message I get from CS5 when trying to print is "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.
I am using i Mac Mavericks version 10.9
I have tried to contact Adobe ny phone to talk about the problem but cannot find a telephone number
Any help would be appreciated

This was partly helpful thank you, I have updated manually and all updates have gone in and I can now get my RAW files to open,
BUT
Despite removing printer , downloading drivers again and then resetting printers still CS5 does not give me the option to print, I also have an Epson SX 200 which does not appear as an optional printer when I give the print command,
I seem to be between a rock and a hard place here, Adobe seem to think it is an Epson fault and Epson say it is definitely Adobe fault,
I have over £1000 value of CS5 and an Epson R2880 printer and cannot get a print from it.
I am loathed to take up Adobe offer of paying for CS6 and Lightroom on a monthly basis then find I cannot print on that either,
Perhaps I will have to go back to Aperture, which I do not want to, I can print ok from that, which again points to an Adobe problem,
