Problems while printing whit Epson Printers

Recently I have upgraded my MacBookPro to Leopard using the Archive and Install option, maintaining the network and user settings. After the upgrade I cannot print on both the Epson laser printer I used previously with MacOS X 10.4.
In the Printer dialogue box I see the laser printers AcuLaser 1100 and EPL 6200L, the first is connected via ethernet and the second via USB port, but the printing process start and suddenly stop without printing any sheet. I looked for the error in the console and i found this lines:
Queued on "EPSONEPL6200L" by "paolobernardis".
[Job 35] Started filter /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstoappleps (PID 1130)

PID 1131 (/usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstocupsraster) stopped with status 1!
Hint: Try setting the LogLevel to "debug" to find out more.
[Job 35] Job stopped due to filter errors.
I tried to install the new drivers from the Epson website but problem continue.
Does anyone have any idea on how to solve the problem?
Thanks

After searching on the web I found the solution.
I repaired the permissions with disk utility and now both printers work!

Image Size Problems when printing on Epson printers

Hello all,
Here's what I have- I am running Photoshop CS 5.1 on a new Mac Mini, using OS 10.6. I am up to date on all software updates for both the Mac OS and Adobe.
As of two weeks ago, whenver I send an image to print on my Epson 4900 or Epson 4880 it prints much smaller than the intended size. For instance, I have an 11x17 piece of paper and it is printing an image that is roughly 6x9in, even though my image size is really 10x16. I know that I have the correct paper size. I even tried creating a custom paper size to no avail.
After few weeks of trying to figure out the problem, I decided to install a copy of CS4 on the machine. CS4 is working properly and I have not had any resizing issues......That is until today....Now, my Epson 4880 is having the same problem printing as when I was going through CS5.1
I trashed the preferences.....That didnt work either.
Any thoughts?

As of two weeks ago...
What happened two weeks ago...?

Try Epson's Advanced Product Support Center (I believe your 4880 qualifies for it)

Can't Print to Epson Printers from Photoshop

Hey everyone - for some reason I am unable to print from Photoshop CS6 to two different Epson printers - an Epson 9800 and an Epson 7880. I have tried to print from three different computers (OS 10.6 and OS 10.8) and have also tried three different USB cables. Each time I get the same results - the computer acts like it sends the data to the printer, but the printer never prints anything. I am not getting any error messages. I am attepting to print a 3960x2160, 720 DPI RGB TIF image. I tried printing from Preview as a test but that didn't work either.
This is a new problem as I have been printing to these printers for years with no issues.
I have tried reinstalling drivers, turning the computer and printers on and off, cleared my caches and repaired permissions, but so far no luck.
However there is ONE situation in which I am able to print - if I save the image as PDF and print it from from Acrobat, specifically with "Acrobat Color Management" selected, it WILL print. If I try to print from Acrobat with "Printer Manages Colors" selected, it will not print.
This is really driving me mad and I would love to find a solution. Major thanks to anyone who can help!

Success! I have no idea what the issue here is but I tried printing a completely different file as a test, and lo, that file prints fine. The other file does not. Since the file I'm trying to print is a rasterized Illustrator file, I just rasterized it again so I'm working with a new file, and it prints! I am so pleased.

REP-1849: Failed while printing : Problem while printing on network printer

I am getting this error message while printing the report on Network Printer.
"REP-1849: Failed while printing"
Reports Server is not installed on my machine.
On shared printer, it has no problems.
Platform is Win2000. Report Builder 6.0.8.11.3
Plz help !
Thanks in advance !

Try the following if your printer is a network printer
1. Add Printers - select Local Printer
2. In the Add Printer wizard, select "create a new port" option and select "TCP/IP" as type
3. Write the IP address of the network printer in the "Add standard TCP/IP Printer Port wizard". The port name becomes IP_<ip addr>. Click Next.
4. Select the printer and printer type in "Add Printer" wizard.
5. Select a driver and Write a printer name. This completes the setup. Use this printer name to print from Oracle reports.
Hope this helps..

Problem while printing 132 col. report....

We have one report of width 132 columns. But when we print this report,
it prints only upto half width (Approx. upto 70 characters.)
We are using Reports 6i on Red Hat Linux server.
I tried to modify report width at developing time. But it is of no
use.
Which parameters needs to be changed to solve this problem?
Thanks...
Kiran.

Hello Abid,
I tried as you suggested. But problem is not solved.
But when I run this report in Windows environment, it prints ok. i.e. I am getting full width of report. What I notice here that while printing thru Windows, I am geeting 'US STD FANFOLD' paper size . But in Red Hat Linux (Advanced Sever 2.1) I am not getting this page size. SO I think if I have this page size in Red Hat then my problem may get solved. Have you any idea how can we get this page size in Red Hat ?
Thanks.... Kiran

Problem while printing in ukraine language using smart form

Hi All,
Am facing an issue while printing the quality certificate in Ukraine language. I have created the smartform in English,later I maintained the transalations in Ukraine. I will execute the print program by passing the delivery number in selection screen.
The problem is in print preview every thing is coming fine in Ukraine language except the ship-to party address,But when I issue the print only the ship-to party address in coming in UK rest all are coming as junk characters. Am using HELVCYR font. I have tried creating form in UK as well but same result.
Other Ukraine documents are printed correctly using the same printer.
Please tell me what could be the problem here?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
harris

Hi Harikrishna,
Which printerdevice you using .Is it supports uk language.Try to findout proper printer device for this.

Need wireless printing for Epson printers

I have 3 Epson printers.
An R380 direct printing via USB, an R380 wireless via an Airport Express and an Epson Artisan 810 wireless via my Airport Extreme. The 810 also has bluetooth capabilities.
_So I have three avenues to print wireless:_
Through the Airport Extreme
Through the Airport Express
Through the Bluetooth capable Epson 810
... BUT the iPad provides no way for printing.
When I purchased the device I assumed that printing was a given.
The newly announced beta IOS4.2 only allows printing on HP printers...WHY?
There are other printer manufactures out there.
I chose Epson because it allows for printing on DVD’s and CD’s

I think only certain HP printers will have a direct print ... but that any printer on the same network as your iPad will work. From the AirPrint press release:
"AirPrint automatically finds printers on local networks and can print text, photos and graphics to them wirelessly over Wi-Fi without the need to install drivers or download software. HP’s existing and upcoming ePrint enabled printers will be the first to support printing direct from iOS devices... iPad, iPhone and iPod touch users can simply tap to print their documents or photos wirelessly to an HP ePrint printer or to a printer shared on a Mac or PC.”
So if your Epson is on a network, you can print to it.

Unable to Print to Epson printers using LPD on PPC, works on Intel

After updating to Leopard, I am unable to print to my network printer Epson 870 and CX6400 from my G5 Imac. Everything worked fine with Mac OS 10.4.x. It works from my MacBook running Leopard. I am unable to select (even using browse) the appropriate Gutenprint V.5.1.3 driver. It fails to output to print server. From my MacBook all my network printer works - Samsung ML-1710, Epson 870 and CX6400. From the PPC Imac, only the Samsung works.
If I share the printer from the MacBook, the iMac sees the printers and automatically selects the appropriate Gutenprint driver. I am using IPD. I also tried Window. I can not select the Gutenprint drivers. For the 870, I tried selecting Epson Stylus Color and Photo series 1.3 and Epson CX6000 series driver.
I've reloaded the drivers from Apple and also tried Epson's drivers. I haven't tried loading the standard (non-Apple) gutenprint drivers.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have the answer. It took quite a while but I know why the 3880 won't print from Photoshop 4 with Maverick. It is due to the Epson .icc page description files. The way to solve the problem is to make your own .icc. OK, so you don't know how to do it. This is what I did so now I get the quality prints I expect from an expensive printer.
You need to go to www.datacolor.com/spyderprint and purchase the Spyderprint hardware and software. It comes as a package for $300 to $350 depending on if you get a sale. The software will print on the 3880 test sheets of color blocks. With the hardware reader you then read the colors on the test sheets printed. What this does is match the monitor image with the printer, ink and paper you used. It makes an .icc page description file for you to select instead of the Epson .icc file. When you print again select the new .icc file and also choose "Printer Manages Colors" instead of "Photoshop Manages Colors" I know this is usual but it works. When you are done you will be smiling too with your beautiful results.
One other thing. If you want, it is optional, also purchase the Spider 4 Pro for $150. It calibrates your monitor and helps make excellent prints.
I understand it is more money and you already probably have a good computer, expensive camera to go with the 3880 so spend the extra money so it all works together.
I hope this helps.

Problems while printing

I have an application deployed with Java Web Start. Once running on the client machine when I try to print an image to a printer in the local network I get an image with inverted colors. The strange thing is that when I run the same application from a different computer in the same local network printing on the same printer everything works fine. Because of this I think there is something wrong in one of my client machines but I cannot understand what. Both machines are running the same version of JRE (1.4.2_03).
If anyone has any suggestions about where I should start to look, it is greatly appriciated.

What kind of problem did you have?
When my user print to a file (both the black and white and the color printer used are postscript printers) and I open the file all colors are represented in shades of purple.
The users that got this problem has had everything working for about two years and suddenly this behaviour started. First on just a couple of computers and now it is spreading to more and more computers, kind of creepy.
Anyway I will ask them what kind of display settings they are using and also ask them to alter them to see if that will have any effect. Thanks for your reply.

How do I get CD/DVD to print on Epson printers?

I had an Epson R200, and when I had Panther it printed on CD/DVDs but it was always rather iffy. Sometimes it would and sometimes it wouldn't. However, since I have upgraded to 10.4.6, and now 10.4.7, it's just not working at all. I worked back and forth with Epson and they sent a different tray, and it worked a couple of times, and then it would work if I shut down the software and brought it up again, but would have to do it every time. Then the rollers or something started spinning as the tray went in and then would back up. I fussed with Epson and got nowhere, and finally gave up and got an R340 figuring it cost more it would work. First time out I got 4 printed, thought the problem was over. Now I go to print again and same thing, starts to enter about an inch, stops, something spins and then it backs out. Now, since two printers are doing essentially the same thing, it would seem to be some glitch with the software and the OSX??????

Hi Pamela
Sorry to hear about the problem; I really believe the problem is with the printer mechanism itself, and not software related. My 2-year old R200 finally gave up the ghost this month (though I've been able to get two disc prints out of it in that time), and its performance was always inconsistent. Same thing you described, with the tray spitting out, and from what I've heard from others, I'm lucky I got the productivity I did out of it.
I'm now desperately looking for another machine that will do the job; was thinking of getting the other model you mentioned, but after reading of your experience, I think I'll avoid Epson altogether and just start saving up my quarters for a Bravo II. Unfortunately, right now there don't seem to be a lot of alternatives for us Mac users.
But to repeat, I don't think it's Mac system software; the two labels I printed were done since the current update. It's just basically cheap inket technology.
