Problems adding my Epson C1100 using Bonjour

Hi all,
I have my APE running perfectly and my printers also perfectly running. Last week I had to shut down my network because I am rebuilding my studio. I kept on working on my MAC but deleted my printer.
Right now I need the printer and I try to add it. Bonjour fond the printer and everything, but when I klik add I get the "beachball". I am waiting now for 8 hrs and stil no printer is added.
On my Windows machine evrything works just fine!
So what is the problem?? How do I get my printer working on my MAC?

I jusr like to add that I am running OS 10.4.4 on a iMac G5 and trying to print to an Epson C1100.
I can use the printer setup utility to set up and print to this printer just fine when it is direct connected via USB.
However, when I try to add this same printer via Bonjour hooked up to an airport express, print setup utility sees the printer just fine, indicates that it is connected to my airport, and detects the drivers (the "Print Using" drop down list in the add printer dialog box, after waiting for a period.
I installed the drivers again, old and new ones. Still nothing. I also downgaded my firmware of APE to 6.1.1, still nothing. Also back to 6.3 doesn't help out.
The worst is that it worked a fewe weeks ago. When I unplugged my APE for a while and went back to work and tried to add my printer this all happened!
I'm about to tear my hair out...

  • Problems printing to HP printers using Bonjour and XP

    Good afternoon all
    I am unable to print from my ThinkPad X61 PC laptop running XP (Service Pack 3) to either of my HP printers (Laserjet 6MP and PhotoSmart C3180) connected to my Airport Extreme via a USB hub. They work fine from my MacBook running Snow Leopard, or when directly connected to my PC.
    I am able to install both printers using Bonjour Printer Wizard (and recognize them through Airport Utility). I then print a document, it spools to the print queue, then generates an error saying the document failed to print. I have tried it without the hub with the same result.
    I have reinstalled Bonjour and the printer drivers and followed the Printer Troubleshooting Guide procedure to no avail. I have also tried the TCP/IP port creation which did not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Yours
    Sam

    Hi Pahu,
    Thanks for you reply. Here's some additional information because I'm not quite sure how to resolve the network addressing as you described. The router is set up as a DHCP server, using the standard 192.168.1.1 IP address, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 The starting IP address is 192.168.1.100, and I have it set to allow up to 50 connections. (No particular reason, I think that may have been the default.) The printer is set up to check a variety of connection protocols, starting with DHCP. If that fails, it moves to BOOTP, etc. When I print the network configuraton page from the printer, it tells me the IP address is 169.254.18.32, subnet mask 255.255.0.0, default gateway 169.254.18.32, and the IP is configured by AUTOIP.
    In the past, when it has been working properly, the printer shows an IP address of 192.168.1.10X, usually .100 or .101, but it depends on which device I've powered up first. This is what I would expect, given that the printer should be communicating with the router and be assigned an IP address by DHCP. What I can't figure out is why the printer reverts to its internal default IP address 169.254.18.32, and why this is inaccessible even if I try to designate the printer as an IP printer and type in the printer's IP address.
    Do I need to set the printer to refresh its DHCP lease more often to ensure it doesn't get cut off by the router? How do I make sure the printer stays on the same subnet as the computers if they're all on the same router? Should I assign the printer a static IP address like 192.168.1.100, then set the DHCP range to start at 192.168.1.101? Sorry to ask so many questions, I'm not a network expert and I didn't think this printer would be such a pain to configure.
    Cheers,

  • Problem adding item to list using a function.  Error - Null pointer

    Hi Guys,
    I'm not sure what the problem is, but for some reason I am unable to add an item to a list using a function. I can add an item when I call it in the same function that the list is created, but I cannot add the item from anoter function. Here is the code:

    You should check how you are initializing your variables in your testpanel class. You initialize your button correctly, but your other class variables are being overridden. As a result, your class variables still have a value of 'null'.

  • Problem adding NAS quorum device using scconf with RSH disabled on filer

    Hi,
    we are having problems to configure a quorum device via scconf.
    /usr/cluster/bin/scconf -a -q name=XXXdc00xp1,type=netapp_nas,filer=XXX607ap fails with
    scconf: Failed to add quorum device (XXX00xp1) - invalid quorum configuration.
    scconf: Unable to communicate with filer "XXX607ap".
    using snoop i realized that scconf is trying to configure the quorum using rsh. as our filer is only accessible via http and ssh - i have no idea how to configure a quorum using the standard methods described in the documentation provided by sun.
    the documents only state that we need http administrative access - which is available.
    any ideas ???
    thankd,
    chris

    Hi Christian,
    this should be a bug. If you send me some more customer details offline, I can add them to the bug and make sure this gets fixed.
    The workaround should be (according to well informed sources):
    on filer do:
    options rsh.enable on
    do scconf to add quorum and then
    options rsh.enable off on filer
    This has been tested and found to work. If it does not let us know.

  • Problems Adding Printer, Epson XP-410

    Hoping you can help. I'm on an iMac OSX 10.7.5. Bought a Epson XP-410 and have downloaded most current install package from Epson. Installed the printer which is now not showing up on my list of printers to add as the default. The printer is showing that it is connected to my WiFi, and it would seem that my WiFi is configured correctly. It would also appear, after checking, that my computer's software is up to date.  I am definitely missing something by way of troubleshooting this, but I don't know what that is. Any ideas welcomed and appreciated. 

    Hello, Padules. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

  • Problem adding EPSON USB printer

    I contacted Epson's support about this, then did what they told me to in the reply. As you can probably tell since I'm posting this, it didn't work. Here is the email I sent:
    "No matter what I do I cannot get EPSON USB to show up under More Printers in Apple's Printer Utility. I can add the regular driver for the printer to my printers list just fine, but when I try to go into More Printers > EPSON USB to add the Border less and Minimized margins (like I had done previously on a PPC based Mac) the option for EPSON USB from the pull down menu doesn't show up. It only shows EPSON FIREWIRE and EPSON TCP/IP. I have tired reinstalling the driver, resetting the printer system and restarting. I have even reinstalled the whole operating system, but even on a fresh install (and the newest driver installed) EPSON USB still didn't show up in the pull down menu. Please help, I need to get border less printing working again.
    I am using a Core2Duo MacBook Pro, Epson Stylus Photo 820, The newest version of the driver (downloaded January 1, 2007), and Mac OS X 10.4.8."
    Here is what they returned and what I did:
    "Thank you for contacting the Epson Connection.
    If you are unable to add your printer even after a complete cleanout and
    reinstall, please try the following steps to correct this issue.
    1. Open Printer Setup Utility (HD > APPLICATIONS > UTILITIES).
    2. At the top of the screen, click the words "Printer Setup Utility" and
    choose "Reset Printing System" from the pull-down menu. Confirm resetting.
    3. All existing printer listings will be deleted. Try adding your Epson
    printer again.
    This reset makes the operating system clear all jobs and queues and
    reconnect to printer drivers currently in the system.
    If the printer's plug-in still cannot be selected to ADD, try the following
    as well:
    1. Begin on the desktop with no windows open or applications running.
    2. Go to FILE and down to FIND.
    3. In the SEARCH IN option, select EVERYWHERE.
    4. Under SEARCH FOR ITEMS WHOSE select NAME and CONTAINS from the drop
    down menu.
    5. In the search field type COM.APPLE.PRINT and click FIND.
    6. Drag ALL the entries that it finds to the TRASH and empty it. Repeat
    steps 2-5 to search again and confirm that all COM.APPLE.PRINT files were
    removed. (The second search should have no results. If it does, drag the
    results to the trash, empty the trash, and repeat the search a final time.)
    7. Restart the computer and go back to the Printer Setup Utility to add
    the printer. (Note: The COM.APPLE.PRINT preference files will be re-created
    upon restart.)
    8. After selecting ADD, you will receive a message stating "NEW PRINTER
    DRIVERS DETECTED, WOULD YOU LIKE TO RELOAD THE BROWSER?" Click YES.
    We would recommend reinstalling the driver and trying to add the printer.

    Does anyone have any advice to solve this?
    --Thanks so much.

    I'm having problems, too--- my Mac IBoook G4 10.4.8 does not "see"my new Epson flatbed color 58000 dream machine. Now iBook does see the Epson USB cord but not what's at the end of it....
    Okay so maybe what has yet to help me, may help you:
    I repaired permissions and wow-- there were permissions to repair
    I downloaded the shareware, Printer Setup Repair which told me:
    "18 missing files/directories found during the verification process. They may be responsible for certain printing problems. Printer Setup Repair cannot replace these items. Please refer to the log file for a list of the missing files/directories. You may need to reinstall OS X to resolve your printing issues. "
    I know you did the reinstall (I so don't want to do that, hoping there is some way to just reinstall the printer utility) but perhaps the premissions repair
    and maybe even the disk verification may help?
    Printer Setup Repair told me things I didn't know-- perhaps it would assist you, too?
    Good luck to us. A friend suggested that I may neeed another USB cable---
    while my EPSON utility sees the printer, my Mac utility doe not and it may be
    about some peculiarities of the USB cable.
    Best of luck,

  • Problems printing out of PS CS5 with Epson 4800 using latest epson driver

    This is my first post here at the forum.
    Has anybody experienced the following:
    While printing out of Photoshop CS5 12.0.1 with an epson 4800, using the latest driver (6.65), the following happens:
    Around the document, the printable space is filled with a very light colour.
    (If I print an emty canvas, the canvas will not be printed  - as expected - but around, the paper shows ink.)
    I already talked to Epson about the issue.
    We went through the whole printer reset, to make shure it´s not a driver issue)
    The picture shown is printed several (5-6) times to better see the problem.
    I did not select to print a background in the print dialogue.
    Does not matter if PS 32bit or 64 bit is used.
    OS is Snow Leopard 10.6.4
    (Rosetta is installed, but should not be needed)
    So, has anybody had similar problems?
    Is there a solution?

    Look at this new driver update..  Will test as soon as my new cartridges arrive..

  • Problems printing using Bonjour

    Using either a Power Mac G5 or a PowerBook G4 (both running OS 10.4.9), the printing stalls out part way through the first or second page printing from the web or Word (haven't tried other apps). The printer is networked via Airport Extreme Base Station and is a Canon PIXMA i6000D. It had been working fine about a week and a half ago, but we started turning the printer off when not in use. Resetting the Base Station seemed to help at first, but no longer. The driver for the printer is current and so is the firmware for the Base Station. It is version 5.7. The Base Station is the previous model.

    I am also having trouble with a new Windows 7, HP laptop. I only found Bonjour for XP and Vista. Is there a Bonjour for Windows 7, 64 bit, Home Edition? Additionally, I cannot find drivers for my older printer, an Apple LaserWriter Select 360. I'm wondering if anyone call tell me if there's a work around? I can get Windows to "see" the LaserWriter Select 360, but it wants the correct drivers.
    I saw an article in Support on using Bonjour, but I don't understand what it means to activate SMS in the sharing options.
    I'm trying to get the HP laptop, running Windows, on my home network of Apple computers.

  • Printer shared from my Mac is not seen from a PC using Bonjour for Windows

    I am going nuts here, hope someone can help.
    I have a Canon multi-function printer (MP830) attached via USB to a Mac G4 (with Mac OS X Tiger). At one time, I had it set so a Windows 2000 PC could print to it but deinstalled it after some printing issues, and have been unable to get to working again. The machines are connected together via a Netgear router. As far as I know, everything is the same as it was before, yet I cannot get it to work as it did.
    - The printer works fine from the Mac.
    - If I connect the printer to the PC, it works fine.
    - On the PC, using Bonjour for Windows, I cannot see the printer attached to the Mac but I can see, and print to, an Epson printer that is attached to a different Mac.
    - And from the second Mac, I am able to see -- but not successfully print to -- the Canon printer. The print job stays in the queue of the second Mac and says "Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry... Error: Connection failed with error."
    - I have tried:
    -- de-installing and re-installing Bonjour for Windows and the Canon print drivers on the PC
    -- and have de-installed and re-installed the Canon drivers on the Mac
    -- I have removed and re-added the Canon printer on the Mac. Printer Sharing is on, and this printer is checked in the Sharing box.
    Any suggestions?
    G4 Quicksilver and Dell PC with Windows 2000   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Canon MP830

    Thank you. Those are beautifully written procedures.
    Looks like it's a network issue. I reach the step, "Adding a printer using the wizard":
    You must enter the following URL, you must use the Queue Name you noted down earlier
    http://<IP address of Mac>:631/printers/Queue Name
    which I do, entering
    http://192.168.0.4:631/printers/MP830
    and I get the following error:
    "Could not connect to the printer. You either entered a printer name that was incorrect or the specified printer is no longer connected to the server."
    And then I am toast!
    Using the other procedure, I simply don't see the Mac's printers in the Bonjour Wizard's "Browse for Bonjour Printers" window.
    Not sure where to go from here -- any ideas?
    The Mac's IP (set via DHCP) is 192.168.0.4, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The PC is 192.168.0.5, I can't find the subnet mask.
    Pretty sure it's a network config issue, especially isnce I can Bonjour to my other Mac.
    TIA...

  • Epson printer using airport express connect wired to PC

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my epson printer C41 series.
    It is connected using USB to Airport express then wired using ethernet cable to my existing router in order to share to 3 computer (2 PC, 1 PowerbookG4).
    Firstly, I used bonjour to detect the printer, and it was working perfect unfortunately under my PowerbookG4. So I unplug the powerbook, just want to use airport as printer server. I ran bonjour again, it detect the printer under my airport, but it doesn't work when printing.
    Perhaps you could help my problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have a cable modem (Comcast) connected (WAN) to my
    Airport Extreme Base Station. Question: Can I us an
    AirPort Express to "join" this network (plug it in in
    another room) and use the LAN port to connect an
    Ethernet cable to a computer's Ethernet port?
    If you "Join an Existing Wireless Network" the ethernet port on the AX is DISABLED. If you set up a WDS network using the AX to extend the range of your AEBS, the ethernet port will be ENABLED.
    Will
    the AE LAN port have a local IP address ( i.e.
    10.0.1.5) available for a wired Laptop to connect to
    the internet (or even attach a non-wireless internet
    web camera)?
    Properly configured as a WDS network, the device connected to the AX ethernet port will pull an IP address from the AEBS, just like any other connected device. You can also configure this connected device with a static IP address, outside the range of the dynamic DHCP addresses.
    I hope this is not too basic......

  • Cannot place order ERROR: "There was a problem adding your product to cart"

    Hey guys,
    Well, once again Best Buy's online system is preventing me from making an order. It seems like nearly every time I log in I experience some new problem. This time, I'm unable to add anything to my cart. It doesn't matter what item I try to add to my cart or what browser I use or if I clear cookies...it happens every time, on every browser, with every product in the store. The error shows a red & white triangle with a message "There was a problem adding your product to cart".
    Just to clarify ahead of time: 1) I have already tried signing in using 4 different browsers (explorer, firefox, chrome, opera) & they all give the same error; 2) Prior to posting here I researched this problem & found out it is somewhat common & has been occurring since at least 2012 on BestBuy.com; 3) Every time someone posts in here about this problem, customer service offers the same "fix" every time - to sign out, clear their browser cache of cookies, shut down the browser, restart the browser, sign back in, etc.... The only problem is, this "solution" has not worked ONE time our of the many times this problem has cropped up in here over the past 3+ years. Why this "solution" keeps getting told to people even though it never works is beyond me. But, there you have it.
    Just to clarify: I have already tried this solution, And just like with everyone else before me, it didn't work for me either. So, what's the next step? There must be something else that can be done other than waiting a couple more days for it to magically fix itself (it seems that is the only thing that ever "works"...is to let several days go by and the problem ends up getting fixed in some back-end server-side patch up). 
    What I'm hoping for from you is a solution that can fix this immediately. This problem has already prevented me from making a couple purchases for items that were temporarily on sale over the past couple days. So, those are lost sales for Best Buy. What I'm hoping to do now is pre-order the Elder Scrolls Online (PS4) in order to take advantage of the $10 pre-order reward. The game releases on Tuesday the 9th. So, in order to get this done in time I need to place the order sometime today (on the 8th).
    With all these repeated technical problems making purchasing a chore & wasting my time every single time I want to buy a product it's almost as if Best Buy is telling customers "We don't care if our online system works reliably...go spend your money at Amazon instead". lol
    Thank you in advance for your timely help on this matter.

    Hello mjswooosh,

  • 0x8007000e (E_OUTOFMEMORY) while adding a firewall rule using the windows firewall COM API

    Hello,
    Configuration: Windows Embedded 8 64-bit.
    I'm using the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security COM API. The program uses the INetFwRules interface. Basically, I'm using the following code (Form the code sample available here : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd339604%28v=vs.85%29.aspx.)
     I get the error when performing "hr = pFwRules->Add(pFwRule);".
    We can also encounter the problem when removing a rule (using pFwRules->Remove(ruleName);)
    HRESULT hrComInit = S_OK;
    HRESULT hr = S_OK;
    INetFwPolicy2 *pNetFwPolicy2 = NULL;
    INetFwRules *pFwRules = NULL;
    INetFwRule *pFwRule = NULL;
    long CurrentProfilesBitMask = 0;
    BSTR bstrRuleName = SysAllocString(L"SERVICE_RULE");
    BSTR bstrRuleDescription = SysAllocString(L"Allow incoming network traffic to myservice");
    BSTR bstrRuleGroup = SysAllocString(L"Sample Rule Group");
    BSTR bstrRuleApplication = SysAllocString(L"%systemroot%\\system32\\myservice.exe");
    BSTR bstrRuleService = SysAllocString(L"myservicename");
    BSTR bstrRuleLPorts = SysAllocString(L"135");
    // Initialize COM.
    hrComInit = CoInitializeEx(
    0,
    COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED
    // Ignore RPC_E_CHANGED_MODE; this just means that COM has already been
    // initialized with a different mode. Since we don't care what the mode is,
    // we'll just use the existing mode.
    if (hrComInit != RPC_E_CHANGED_MODE)
    if (FAILED(hrComInit))
    printf("CoInitializeEx failed: 0x%08lx\n", hrComInit);
    goto Cleanup;
    // Retrieve INetFwPolicy2
    hr = WFCOMInitialize(&pNetFwPolicy2);
    if (FAILED(hr))
    goto Cleanup;
    // Retrieve INetFwRules
    hr = pNetFwPolicy2->get_Rules(&pFwRules);
    if (FAILED(hr))
    printf("get_Rules failed: 0x%08lx\n", hr);
    goto Cleanup;
    // Create a new Firewall Rule object.
    hr = CoCreateInstance(
    __uuidof(NetFwRule),
    NULL,
    CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
    __uuidof(INetFwRule),
    (void**)&pFwRule);
    if (FAILED(hr))
    printf("CoCreateInstance for Firewall Rule failed: 0x%08lx\n", hr);
    goto Cleanup;
    // Populate the Firewall Rule object
    pFwRule->put_Name(bstrRuleName);
    pFwRule->put_Description(bstrRuleDescription);
    pFwRule->put_ApplicationName(bstrRuleApplication);
    pFwRule->put_ServiceName(bstrRuleService);
    pFwRule->put_Protocol(NET_FW_IP_PROTOCOL_TCP);
    pFwRule->put_LocalPorts(bstrRuleLPorts);
    pFwRule->put_Grouping(bstrRuleGroup);
    pFwRule->put_Profiles(CurrentProfilesBitMask);
    pFwRule->put_Action(NET_FW_ACTION_ALLOW);
    pFwRule->put_Enabled(VARIANT_TRUE);
    // Add the Firewall Rule
    hr = pFwRules->Add(pFwRule);
    if (FAILED(hr))
    printf("Firewall Rule Add failed: 0x%08lx\n", hr);
    goto Cleanup;
    This works pretty well but, sometimes, at system startup, adding a rule ends up with the error 0x8007000e (E_OUTOFMEMORY) ! At startup, the system is always loaded cause several applications starts at the same time. But nothing abnormal. This is quite a random
    issue.
    According MSDN documentation, this error indicates that the system "failed to allocate the necessary memory".
    I'm not convinced that we ran out of memory.
    Has someone experienced such an issue? How to avoid this?
    Thank you in advance.
    Regards, -Ruben-

    Does Windows 8 desktop have the same issue? Are you building a custom WE8S image, or are you using a full WE8S image? The reason I ask is to make sure you have the modules in the image to support the operation.
    Is Windows Embedded 8.1 industry an option?

  • Color management problems printing to Epson R2880 from CS3

    I recently purchased an Epson R2880 printer. I am having a lot of trouble getting good color when printing from Photoshop CS3. I am running OS 10.4 on a G4 Mac. I have a high-quality monitor and an EyeOne calibrator. I have spent a total of a few hours on the phone with tech support from the store where I bought the monitor and calibrator, and with Epson. To try and keep it simple, I am using all Epson products (ink, paper, their ICC profiles downloaded from their site). I have calibrated my monitor to brightness: 80, white point: 5000 K, Gamma 2.2.
    All that tech support has brought me to the point where prints I get on Epson Velvet Fine Art paper and almost where they match what I see on the monitor, though they still could use a touch more red. I've tried making a slight curves adjustment to the red channel but I still don't quite have it. But it's basically acceptable.
    So then I tried Epson Premium Presentation Matte paper. After a lengthy session with the Epson tech, we determined that I can get a print that's almost right by printing out of Preview and letting the printer manage colors. If I make a levels adjustment and brighten it a good bit, I get a very good print. But if I try printing on that paper from CS3 I get something that looks like a washed out black-and-white print with a hint of color in it. The Epson tech (a level 2 tech) told me to use the SPR 2880 Matte Paper-HW profile. Didn't help. At that point he said that he'd done all he could do and that for further assistance I needed to contact Adobe about "advanced settings in Photoshop." Of course, I'd prefer to print out of Photoshop because it gives more options in terms of placement and size of the print on the paper.
    So here are my questions:
    - Is this kind of thing par for the course, and will I eventually figure out a system that gives me good results all the time with any Epson paper I choose with a minimum of tinkering with levels and curves?
    - Or should I expect more from a printer that costs almost $1,000 and should I return it for, say, a Canon?
    - Is there information online about those "advanced settings" the Epson tech was referring to?
    - Or would I be advised to purchase a one-on-one phone consultation from Adobe Photoshop tech support to resolve these problems?
    Thanks,
    Helen

    Mike,
    Gee Ramón, I am guessing Mike did a search for Epson R2880/CS3 and noticed that a Mac user was having the same problem he was. If together, maybe Windows users and Mac users can come together and solve the problems of the Epson R2880, maybe we can set a good example for the Republicans and Democrats in Congress :-).
    Anyway, since I posted this problem, I have been working on it getting input from a variety of people. The person who finally helped me was Jim, a tech at ColorHQ.com. If you are in the US or Canada and have to buy a monitor and/or calibrator, definitely consider buying it from them, because they offer free tech support to their customers!
    So regarding yellowness, one thing that you definitely should look at is how you're calibrating your monitor. Despite some of the replies above that recommend calibrating to 6500K, ColorHQ, which specializes in solutions for the printing industry, told me that calibrating to 5000K is the print industry standard. (While 6500K is the standard for working on images for the web or for editing video.) 5000K will make the monitor look yellower, so see whether that's a better match to what you're printing. I have an Eizo monitor and am running their Color Navigator software. The nice thing about that is something called Color Navigator Agent that allows me to switch between calibration profiles on the fly if I'm doing some web work and then want to work on images for printing.
    Calibrating to 5000K was helpful, but not the solution in my case. The ultimate solution to my problem was more of a Mac issue, so I don't know if this will help you, but I'll post it in case anyone refers to this discussion in the future: there evidently IS an issue with ColorSync Utility in the Mac interfering with Photoshop managing colors in OS 10.4. In my case, ColorSync was causing the printer to preserve RGB values rather than use the ICC profile. The afore-mentioned Jim suggested that I go to Edit: Convert to Paper Profile, then pick the profile from the list. When printing, in the first Photoshop dialog box choose Color Handling: No color management. All the other settings in the next dialog box are the same as when you don't want the Epson to manage colors. So what you're doing is making it so the profile is built into the file, and neither Photoshop nor Epson are managing colors.
    The result to this was MUCH better. The soft proof is a little redder than the print, but I can adjust that by creating a curves adjustment layer and pulling down the red curve in the middle a little bit if I want to see what the print will look like. I can live with that.
    Also Jim pointed out that those papers that you mentioned are in fact a little warm in tone -- put Velvet Fine Art next to a piece of ordinary copy paper from say, Staples, and you'll see the difference. He suggested that if it's the matte look I want (it is) that Hahnemuhle makes a couple of papers that are brighter: Photo Rag Baryta and Bright White He also likes Ilford Gold Fiber silk, but that's a luster satin finish. You can download the Hahnemuhle profiles from Hahnemuhle's web site and compare them in "Soft Proof" mode in Photoshop with the Epson papers you mentioned and get an idea of the difference with your images. I haven't actually printed on them yet, but I see what he means.
    Good luck, and I'd be interested to know how it goes for you.

  • Anything printed using Bonjour from Windows to Mac is very light in color

    I dont get this at all. And it only started happening very recently. When using my printer connected to my Mac, and printing from my Windows Vista laptop (using Bonjour of course), all of the colors are very light. Black text is light grey, and all of the other colors are very washed out. I have no idea whats going on here. My printer is a Canon MP160.
    Any help would be extremely appreciated.

    I have the same problem after I updated to 10.5.5 yesterday. My Canon MP 780 works perfectly printing from my mac and all the networked macs in the house. When I connect the printer to Vista (on my mac) running in Parallels directly (by checking my printer in "Devices- USB"), it works perfectly; but when I try to print networked from Vista via Bonjour, it uses blue ink for text. Prior to the update it printed perfectly without having to connect it to Parallels.
