Printing to Epson CX4200

I just bought an new iMAC G5 with an Epson CX 4200. I plugged it in, the Mac recognized the printer and it prints great B&W. When I print in color however I get red and blue text in a seperate lines, almost mirrored on top of each other. Is it a print command issue or printer tech issue?

I got this same printer with my imac and as far as I remember documentation states that do not hookup the printer without first installing drivers from cd, after that part is done, restart with printer hooked up, than run printer utility and than start using it. I followed the instruction and so far I am impressed with print and specially scan quality considering 99 price tag.

  • Crystal report printing using epson dot matrix printer (continouos paper)

    Hi there, im tiff from the philippines.
    i have a  question on printing using a crystal report. How do i print using epson continuous printer(dot matrix)? im having a problem printing to that type of printer specially using continuous paper. the first page is correct but unfortunately the succeeding pages are not. its automatically adjusted upon reaching the second page. hope you can help me.
    thanks a lot and looking forward to hear from you soon.

    Check with the printer manufacturer that the matrix printer is Unicode compliant. If it is not, it will  not work with Crystal Reports. If it is, make sure you have the latest printer driver updates.

    Thanks for the follow up.
    Barbara Brundage in the Photoshop Elements Forum will probably have the answer to your Photoshop Elements Epson scanner issue. Look into that Twain driver. She will give you good input on all this.
    Also, see your other thread about Adobe telephone contact information. I have posted in that other thread also.

  • Photoshop suddenly does not print to Epson 3880 - PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop  After restart error message appears:  - "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopen

    PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop
    After restart error message appears:
    — “There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.”
    • All print commands are greyed out and unavailable — even to call up the printer commands cannot be done.
    The printer printed fine until about 2 weeks ago when this error message appeared.  Printing continues from Pages, I-photo, preview etc. —  only Photoshop fails.
    The printer has been turned on and off, as have open documents been closed and open etc..   Preferences reset.  Repeatedly I have read through blogs and forums and attempted to contact Adobe — all without results
    Epson support struggled to find reason and several solutions were tried and they assume this is an Adobe problem.

  • Difficulty  Printing Borderless Prints with Epson C84

    When I had an iMac G3 with OS 9.2 and used the Epson menu for printing, I had no difficulty printing 4x6 inch borderless prints (since that is one of the options on the Epson Menu). But now that I am forced to use the OS 10 printing menu, even when I identify the printer as an Epson C84, crop the photos to fit a 4x6 page and show "0" margins on all sides when selecting 4x6 as paper size, using either iPhoto or Photoshop Elements 3.0, the prints come out with a small white border on all four sides. The Apple Menu with Epson as the chosen printer does not give me an option that says "4 x 6 borderless" when choosing the paper size. Is there something I need to set differently in order to get borderless prints?
    hk Jones

    I also had a problem finding the "Borderless" option in the print dialogue. Here's what Epson Support told me to do -- It worked perfectly. I can now print borderless from either of the two macs sharing my Epson 1280.

  • Printing with Epson & Canon printers

    I’m new to a Mac having been a Windows PC user for years. I certainly like what I've seen so far. Reasonably competent with Photoshop CS3 and have loaded Mac version.
    Main printer is Epson R2400 but also use Canon Pixma iP8500 and both worked fine with PC.
    I had a number of files set up in a folder on my Windows PC which involve an image of 7.5" x 5.5" centred (on A4 canvas) and then framed by a thin 1px border of 10" x 8". These are for a particular task I perform and they need to be like that. Copied these on to Mac.
    When I print out on A4 photo paper on either printer the whole image incl. the border shifts about 0.25" towards one end - i.e. in portrait mode it shifts up the page. Also, the long sides of the border don't appear, but the short sides do. I have reduced the size of the border slightly and all 4 sides then appear which indicates that the printers are not printing up to the edge of the paper which of course they are capable of doing. I sometimes need to print right up to the edges of paper.
    Responses from suppliers as follows:
    Apple helpline - they said contact to Canon and Epson who can send a download for Mac operation.
    Spoke to Epson, they say maybe a download will work (they told me which one) but they say it's to do with the CS3 software. Download had no effect. Not spoken to Canon yet but suspect the same will happen.
    Apple store - I go into local store for tuition and one of their people uses same gear as me and doesn't have this problem with it. Suggested uninstalling printers and reinstalling. Tried several times - no joy.
    I'm going around in circles here. Solution maybe a blinding flash of the obvious - I hope so.
    By the way, in the printer dialogue box that appears as part of the Photoshop printing process I have got "centred" checked.
    I realise that Macs will have different screens to PCs but am I missing something here in the Mac print dialogue boxes? My first impression is that there are not as many options there as with PCs but I may be wrong.
    Am I right in assuming that this problem is something to do with the way my Mac is working - especially as someone else in the Apple store says there's no problem with his printing on the Epson?
    Help please!!
    Bob

    One simple thing to look for is that sometimes the printer drivers include a "borderless" paper size. Try looking at the paper size settings in the print dialog to see if you're printing on A4 regular, or A4 borderless. Also, I recall with one epson printer, I had to actually add the printer in again as another printer with its "borderless" driver. So if the paper settings don't help, try going into SystemPrefs>Printing&Fax, hitting the + sign to add a printer, find your printer, and see if there's another driver offered that's called something like "borderless".
    This assumes of course that you've checked with epson and canon for the most up to date drivers. Check their sites for any updates.

  • Printing problem: epson R2880 , CS5 + 6, OS Mountain Lion

    Hi There,
    First of all apologies if this is in the wrong thread, If so, could an admin please move it to a correct one?
    I have searched google and these forums for an asnwer but am still having the same problem.
    Since upgrading to Mountain Lion (from Snow leopard) my prints are not coming out well at all, it's mostly the reds which ae not vibrant at all, and coming out very orange.
    I have tried numurous variations of settings:
    photoshops manages colors, printer manages colors, relative,perceptual, made sure printer maanages colors is off, different paper types etc.
    *I took screen shots of every setting to match to the prints so can post if neccesarry
    I have also tried printing from Preview and LR 4, still having the same problem.
    I even tried printing on a different machine with Snow Leopard installed (but was foreced to update to the latest Epson driver (9.0.2).
    Does anyone have any idea where the problem could be?
    I've been trying to print my portfolio for an important meeting and this has taken up about a full day of trial/error tests.
    OS: Mountain Lion
    Printer: epson R2880 (Px 5600 in Japan) Driver (9.0.2)
    Paper: epson Photo crispia / Superfine Matte (making sure to switch out the matte blak and photo black cartridges eveytime)
    SW: CS5, CS6, LR 4
    Thanks in advance,
    Jake

    Apologies for the legth of this post but it needs it.
    For 3 years I have struggled to get a B&W print without a magenta colour cast.
    My old printer, an Epson 1400, only had 1 black so I thought this was to blame and bought a new Epson R2880 with 3 blacks earlier this year..
    My setup is
    CS5
    Fotospeed paper
    Fotospeed Crystal dye inks
    Profiles for each paper.
    A calibrated screen
    Windows 7
    All drivers etc are up to date.
    Because it was originally loaded with Epson inks, I used the Advanced B&W (ABW) setting to print B&W photos, which were actually very good considering I wasn't using Epson paper. When the Epson ink ran out, I changed to Fotospeed Crystal dye inks with profiles.
    I have successfully printed colour photos with the new setup for a couple of months.
    Yesterday I had a batch of photos to print so I set the system up to Photoshop Manages Colour etc (PMC). ( I know what I am doing here)
    The first, a colour print, printed OK.
    Because the second was a B&W, I did a test print using ABW and then a test print using PMC. The ABW had a magenta colour cast, the PMC printed B&W so I printed actual size with PMC and it worked great.
    The third photo, another B&W, I again used PMC and did a small test print - it printed magenta. This was only minutes after printing photo 2.
    I did the usual messing around with perceptual and relative col. and quality and max. quality setting, PSD v Tiff etc. and everything came out magenta.
    Shutdown PC and went to bed. Printer remained switched on to save on ink cleaning routines.
    Today.
    Booted up PC.
    Did a small test print using PMC and it came out B&W - no colour cast. ??????
    Printed full size and it came out B&W no colour cast. On checking the print I noticed some blown highlights so went back into CS5 and did some adjustments to recover the highlights.
    Tried a small test print with PMC and it printed magenta. Again, only minutes between the two prints and it goes from B&W to magenta.
    Closed everything down and did a PC restart. Tried again with PMC and still magenta.
    Several magenta attempts later and I nearly gave up the will to live.
    Had a brainwave - I have Canon Digital Photo Professional on my machine as I use Canon cameras so I tried to directly print from the Canon software.
    If this printed B&W then it would indicate a problem between CS5 and Epson. If it didn't work then it would absolve CS5
    The software allows you to select paper profiles etc in a similar way to CS5 and I also set up the Epson software as no colour adjustment (just like when you use CS5)
    Tried a test print and it printed B&W.
    Went straight away into CS5 and printed the same test photo using PMC and it printed magenta.
    Went straight back to the Canon software and printed a full size print and it printed B&W.
    Can someone from Adobe please explain why
    CS5 and the Canon software must be using the same print driver yet one of them is successful and the other isn't?
    Why, when using CS5 to manage colours, two prints, two minutes apart can change from B&W to magenta?
    It suggests to me that the CS5 software is not handling the Epson driver correctly (or vice versa) and double profiling is occuring. In any event users of these products should rightly expect one of you to pick up the ball and run with it and not just blame each other.
    So my third question is - will Adobe run with the ball?

  • Color Setting in CS4 for printing to Epson R2400 in the UK ?

    Hi all. I'm a newbie to CS4 and have been having trouble deciding on which color settings to use with which printer profle/standard.  I have an Epson Stylus R2400 printer and I'm not sure what the color settings should be to print on Epson Premium Glossy in the UK. All the info /videos i have seen refer to North America and I'm unsure if I should be using these settings or Europe Prepress 2.  I have currently set the printer profile to Adobe RGB (1998), but have the option to choose SPR2400 Premium Glossy profile with Matt, Fine Art(which I downloaded from Epson .com and I believe to be a US profile and I'm not sure if this is the right one to be using in the UK )and others. Can anyone advise me please!
    Regards Denis

    europe pretends to be printing more saturated C and M inks
    (most of the times it doesn't)
    and it shouldn't matter anyway
    a well color managed workflow is meant to reproduce pictures as accurately as the individual devices permit, regardless of gamut
    use the Epson profile for your paper
    or [better], make your own with an EyeOne Pro or a color Munki

  • Color-managed printing to Epson 870

    I have never succeeded in getting a color-managed print workflow to my Epson Stylus Photo 870 printer using PSE5 (or 4 or 3). The prints are consistently darker than what I see on screen, though the colors otherwise seem about right.
    I'm pretty familiar with color management generally, and I have read the tutorials in the Missing Manual and at computer-darkroom.com. I will describe my recent experiments.
    Perhaps someone who uses this printer (or a similar Epson printer) can offer some insight. What is noteworthy about these Epson printers is that they come with only a single ICC profile, rather than one profile per media type. The processing to compensate for media differences occurs within the driver. This complicates the color management story.
    1. Computer setup: Windows XP SP2, Samsung SyncMaster 193P LCD display.
    2. Monitor calibration: This monitor has programmable internal color conversion. I used the MagicTune utility to tune the monitor to sRGB. I then used Adobe Gamma to confirm that this is essentially an sRGB monitor; that is, the profile produced by Adobe Gamma yields an appearance that is indistinguishable from the standard sRGB profile.
    3. Photos are JPEGs tagged as sRGB by the camera. I am printing them from PSE5 Organizer. Color management set to "Print" (AdobeRGB). Paper is Epson Glossy Photo Paper. Media type selected in the driver is Photo Paper.
    In the following experiments, I varied the Print Space setting in PSE's Print Options and the Custom > Advanced color settings in the Epson driver.
    Experiment 1: Print Space: "Same as Source". Driver: "ICM". Result: somewhat dark prints.
    Experiment 2: Print Space: "Epson Stylus Photo 870". Driver: "No Color Adjust". Result: even darker prints, with a slight color cast.
    Experiment 3: Print Space: "Epson Stylus Photo 870". Driver: "ICM". Result: same as experiment 3.
    Experiment 4: Print Space: "Same as Source". Driver: "PhotoEnhance". Result: by far the closest to what I see on the screen, and (subjectively) the best rendition of the original scene.
    Of course, experiment 4 is depending on some magic processing in the Epson driver, rather than being a true ICC color-managed workflow. I'd like to figure out why my attempts at a color-managed workflow aren't working right.

    "So it seems that Organizer and Editor do color management differently when
    printing.... I would not have expected this; it seems like a bug."
    My Epson 870 finally died. But, while it was working I did manage to get it
    to work very well in a fully color managed workflow. I calibrated my
    monitor with a hardware calibration device. The generic 870 ICC profile
    that came with the printer gave me prints that were too dark compared to my
    calibrated monitor. I had a custom profile made for the printer for each
    specific paper I use and that made all the difference. For PSE 3, I always
    printed only from the editor and used a fully color managed work flow
    specifying the custom printer profile as the print space. The Epson printer
    driver was set to custom and in the advanced tab, the "No Color Adjustment"
    setting for color management was selected.
    I didn't like to print from Organizer because I didn't care for the way it
    handled things. The creations portion of Organizer didn't pick up all the
    organizer color settings either if I recall correctly. The different
    behavior is not so much a bug as it is two different programs that are
    packaged together and loosely interact -- Organizer began life as Adobe
    Album.
    I don't know about PSE 4 and 5 as I went to Photoshop CS2 instead of
    upgrading PSE. I still have PSE 3 installed, but I seldom use it anymore.
    I would have thought that the newer versions would have done something about
    the Organizer printing issues but it sounds like that hasn't happened yet.
