[SOLVED] Is 'epson-inkjet-printer-201212w 1.0.0-7' a safe AUR package?

Hello,
I'm new to Arch Linux. I'm wondering if this package ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/epso … r-201212w/ ) is safe to use?
I've read the wiki and I was advised to check the PKGBUILD for any malicious/corrupt code. As I'm not a programmer or such, I don't know very much about programming.
Here is the PKGBUILD:

  • Color Management, Photoshop CS3 and Epson Inkjet Printer

    I have been down this road before but here goes again...
    Im using Photoshop CS3.
    Im printing on an Epson Stylus Photo RX680 using Photo quality inkjet paper.
    I know this printer is capable of very good quality prints.
    Thing is I can not figure out the correct combination of color management settings to get a decent print out of Photoshop or InDesign.
    I have read that you are supposed to turn off all printer color management and let Adobe manage the color. Doesnt seem to work.
    I just get overly magenta images that look awful.
    If I let the Epson color management control color I can get a lot closer but the print out is far from accurate or high quality.
    So what the heck IS the correct protocol for printing to an Epson inkjet printer from an Adobe app.
    BTW, I do seem to get a fairly decent print out of something like a PDF which I understand does its own postscript conversion before hitting the printer.
    Is this what my issue is?
    Does Photoshop or InDesign require postscript ripper software to get decent results out of an inkjet printer?

    Have spent hours with both Adobe and Epson support people. I've read several of these forums. Is there an insurmountable problem with CS3 and Epson (2200/2400 are mine)? I have the Leopard patches and upgrade 10.5.4.
    With Photoshop managing the color I get prints that are slightly underexposed and carry a pink cast. Color management is off. With the printer managing the color I get prints that are too green and dark. Epson advice here is to have color management off. There are two other choices for management but to adjust a perfectly balanced print to the printer's whim seem like cruel punishment.
    Have a calibrated monitor and my CS2 works beautifully. Perhaps the best idea is to just go back to CS2 until Adobe and Epson can decide what to do. According to Adobe people, the CS3 gives much of the management back to Epson. According to Epson -- with CS3, you should choose the printer to manage the color (since this seems to be the trend between the two companies) but we users are not happy with the results.
    What is the solution for right now?

    I recently upgraded to Mac OS 10.8.1.  I had an Epson Inkjet printer (Stylus C88 ) that had seen its better days. I purchased a refurbished model (C88+ ) to replace the old one, simple enough. Since I've done this before, I didn't think I had to install the CD. I have since discovered the CD isn't recognized on my computer and/or by this Mountain Lion system and that I had to go to Apple to upgrade the new driver for this product, and which I did, but I can't find the epson folder  other than the attached. I just want to place an alias printer logo on my desktop but I can't find it anywhere.   What to do???

    Hi, one question & one suggestion...
    What possible things are connected at home but not at the store, inlude every cable, etc.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Purchase advice? Considering the Epson Stylus Photo R3000 Inkjet Printer

    Please advise - we're considering the purchase of the Epson Stylus Photo R3000 Inkjet Printer.
    Replacing an Epson Stylus Photo R1900 after years of frustration due to no support for printing from Illustrator on a Mac. Many others have posted in frustration as well - a common work-around is to save as PDF, then print from PDF. Our work-around involves PrintFab but we would like to remove that element from the equation.
    We have a sizable investment in Epson paper so staying within the Epson family is necessary.
    Also must be able to print at 13x19 inches (Super B) which limits our choices.
    Given all of the above, can anyone advise for or against the R3000?
    Thanks in advance!

    This Apple document says the driver is available for auto-download and install when you add the printer in Print & Scan:
    OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download
    OS X has a new paradigm for getting print drivers.
    Manufacturers give the current driver(s) to Apple to put on its servers.
    OS X keeps an "index" of where to find drivers (whether on the server or already installed on your Mac), and when you Add the printer in Print & Scan prefs, or on demand in the print dialog, OS X finds and uses the driver.
    No need to download and install anything yourself.
    If your Mac says it can't find the driver, you can force CUPS (OS X's print system) to re-build the index of drivers (both online and already installed drivers) by Resetting Printing System:
    OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
    If you're still not getting it working, you can download and install all the epson drivers from:
    Epson Printer Drivers v2.18 for OS X
    (you may still need to Reset Printing in order to have the drivers found.)

  • Unable to print from a Mac using Maverick 10.9.2 on an Epson Photo printer with Photoshop CS4. Can you help?

    I am trying to print in Photoshop CS4 on an Epson Photo printer (3880) from my Mac. I just upgraded to Maverick 10.9.2 when the problem started. Can you help.

    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.

  • Epson r800 prints, but does not appear in Printer List: can't use Utilities

    My Epson r800 prints, but does not appear in Printer List. It is connected via USB to the iMac. A Brother LH-2070N is connected via AirPort Extreme. I need to use Utilities to clean the head of cartridge, check levels, etc.. Is there a way to fix this problem?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    For your Epson try this:
    Hard Drive, Library, Printers (folder), Epson folder,
    Inkjetprinter folder, Utilities folder and here you
    will find Epson Printer Utility2. Click on it and it
    should work.
    Note. Epson utilities will not work unless the
    Printer is directly connected to the computer.
    Had the same issue with my 2200 photo and the above
    worked.
    Tried again after reinstalling the drivers. There is no separate Inkjet Folder, but the Printer Utility is within the Epson folder. Unfortunately, the r800 still does not appear in the Printer List, hence no utility.

  • Epson R300 prints photos very dark and oversaturated

    My Epson R300 recently began printing photos much darker and heavily saturated relative to what I see on my monitor. It seems to print ok directly from a CompactFlash. Photos I printed in the past no longer print good. I tried different programs (iPhoto and Photoshop) and print settings. I replaced all cartridges and reset the driver using Print Setup Utility. Any idea what I can try? Thanks.

    Have you checked that the ColorSync profiles are OK,
    and have not been changed? Use the ColorSync Utility
    to check them.
    This appears to be a printer problem and not a setup issue. The printer worked good for nearly 2 years. The color isn't just a little off. All colors are very dark like too much ink is being delivered to the paper.
    There is a definite red cast to whites in photos. Printing directly from a CF card (bypassing my computer) shows the same problem. I deleted and reinstalled the drivers. Tried all of the various settings. With/without Colorsync, printer color vs photoshop color. Tried iPhoto vs Preview vs Photoshop. Epson Print vs Gimp Print. Replaced all cartiridges. Used different paper types (Glossy Photo, Matte). Very frustrating!
    Is 2 years the lifetime of an inkjet printer?

  • Which new inkjet printer for my iMac early 2008?

    I need a new inkjet printer for my iMac early 2008 (until now I use an old Epson Stylus Photo 1200 which now is going to its end of life).
    Which printer would you choose, especially for photo prints?
    Thanks for your answers! :-)

    I should have mentioned that I may have the same computer you have  - a late (December) 2007 iMac.  I continue to run 10.4.11 Tiger because of some antiquated software I use that is not compatible with later operating systems.  An additional thing I like about the Canon is its five individual ink tanks.  When one color runs out, I just change out that one cartridge and keep going.

  • Epson 3880 Printer won't print

    I have an i5 iMac running OS x 10.8.4 that I recently migrated to (about 3 months now) from a PC.  My Epson 3880 printer and 1400 printer will not print from Photoshop CS6 or Lightroom 4.  I have printed text and less intensive graphics to the 1400.  When I print from these apps all I get in the progress is "Stopped - 'filter' failed".  It does not tell me what 'filter has failed.  I have deleted and reinstalled, restarted, googled the crap out of it and I see many having this issue up and a few have been solved but whenever I try one of the fixes listed - nothing.
    Now when I try to print, say from mail, the 1400 is no longer printing at all, same message.
    This is frustrating to say the least since I am a photographer and that's why I switched to mac.
    Also, still can't find the generic ICC profiles for Epson that used to be installed with the driver (ie for glossy, matte photo paper).  One support forum did mention the location where the 3880 ICC profiles were buried and I found them and dragged them out.  No luck with the 1400 yet.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select "/var/log/cups/error_log" from the file list on the left side of the Console window. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the time of the last failed printing attempt. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • Epson R1800 prints v. dark despite many attempted fixes

    i  have an epson r1800 printer which i used successfully with early  versions of PS and windows XP. now the prints are very dark with a greenish cast using both  a  macbook pro snow leaopard, and windows 7 both with ps5.
    i import the pics first into LR3.
    i  have been on the fone for hours with epson high-level tech support and  the best they/we can figure out is that the printer cannot handle the  photpro color setting that LR assigns automatically. it only like prints  that began as Adobe RGB 1998 and havent been re-assigned. those occassionally seem to  work fine. but some do not. i have shots in jpg tif and digitized slides [tif] going back  decades, so lots of issues included. nor is  that is an all-round solution, but is there some way i can instruct lr NOT to use the photopro profile, but  adobe rgb 98 instead.
    if i go that route, my options then are importing into ps using smart  object and opening in raw one foto at a time, a pretty cumbersome [and somewhat confusing  to me] process. i do this in lr by choosing 'edit in' > 'open as  smart object' and then in ps clicking on the thumbnail in the layers  palette to open in raw. ot i can use bridge, thereby involving 3 programs. arghhh.
    per epson tech instructions--and this was  the first thing that gave me some good prints--i have set the workflow  option at the bottom of the raw image in ps at:
    adobe rgb 1998; 16 bit; highest mp available( 20 or 25mp even tho i am shooting at 18mp); 320 ppi. but it only works sometime.
    or  am i on the wrong track completely in trying to solve the printer  problem. i have been thru many setting adjustments and nothing seemed to  work until opened with the current workflow setting. i have tried, as both adobe and epstill darkson recommeded, having ps control the color and setting icm and management off. still dark.
    if agsinst all recommendations i use printer controls color, epson vivid, i can get prttey good prints, but only if i print from LR. PS hates this setting.
    i am awating a call from a high-level adobe techie.
    my  little head is reeling--and of course this all is after epson tried to  blame OS, PS, LR, my monitor, and me. and adobe did the same casting about. but since the same dark image is  happening with the mac laptop and windows desktop, none of these seemed  likely. epson also suggested i buy another, newer printer, but then  admitted that if the photpro profile was the problem, no joy.
    any suggestions, help. i have gone thru much ink paper and hair tearing and dozens of on-line fora.

    As remarked by other responders, this is not a problem unique to you, to Lightroom or to your printer; I have struggled many times, most recently with Aperture3 and an Epson1290 (my Epson 220 didn't show the problem at the same time, with the same images). Changes in driver, profile usage to names but 2 factors, all can screw things up.
    My suggestions:
    1. Make sure you have the latest drivers downloaded from the Apple Software Update window below the Apple icon at the lefthand end of your Finder menu bar.
    2. use an appropriate profile for your printer/ink/paper combination; the only real solution is to produce your own, with something like SpyderPrine - I have one for each combination I use.
    3. Select these in the Lightroom Print Menu at the right hand side of the window under "Print Job". Don't use "Draft Mode.", which doesn't allow the following choices. Underr "Color Management", put in your chosen profile and Rendering Intent (I use Perceptual, but, in my experience, they don't change things much).
         When you click on "Print", an Apple print window opens, which shows the printer is not in control of printing; all the options are greyed out.
    As an alternative, in the Apple Print Window, select "PDF". This will save the image as a .pdf, which you can print from Preview. In the Previerw print menu, select Color Matching/ColorSyc/Profile: and put in your chosen profile; when you get down to the Clor Management" option, coilor controls will be "off", showing that your choices will be used.
    If things are working correctly, two prints, one from each route, should be identical; if they are not yoy have another proble, the basis of which I cannot imagine.

  • Epson 9880 printer drivers not displaying

    Hi. I'm using LR4 current version on a Lion machine (also current version) - IMAC 27"  (also current version) with an Epson 9880 printer. Currently trying this with the Lion driver and version 6.1.2 Epson profiles. I've also tried this with the most recent Snow Leopard driver with the same results. The profiles are not showing up in the "other" dialog within LR4. They do show up in printer setup. I also have a 4800 here and that is working fine. I notice that the Color Sync utility is not displaying them. I've tried downloading and reinstalling, restarting, etc. - no change. I don't recall this being a problem with LR3.
    I have been using the Snow Leopard profiles because of the problems associated with the shaded color/BW print dialog in the Lion printer dialogs, for what that's worth, and I thought everything was fine but now, this problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
    Thanks
    Chris Hutcheson

    I discovered the solution to the problem in the Photoshop forum, here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/4477066 - same results in Lightroom - problem solved. I'm wondering, though, whether there is any advantage going to the Epson Lion printer driver as opposed to the Snow Leopard one. It seems the Snow Leopard one has more functionality as far as selection of accucolour vs. B& W, but then again, wouldn't it make as much sense to simply print my black and white documents managed by Lightroom, without paying attention the print dialog settings (in Lion, that is, where I can't do anything unless I let the printer manage colours)? Particularly since I use non Epson paper a lot of the time?
    Thanks for any advice...
    Cheers

  • Color cast when printing from Lightroom with Epson 3880 printer

    Just got an epson 3880 printer. Printing on epson paper is fine. But printing on Ilford or Moab or other papers from lightroom and photoshop have a terrible magenta color cast.
    WHen I print the same image from Preview, with the same print driver settings, it looks fine. So somehow the adobe apps (or my settings) are messing up the color sync.
    I used to have an espon 2400 which worked just fine.
    I have Mac OSX-10.9.1. Monitor is calibrated. (Prints to epson paper with their profiles look great...it's just other profiles that are really bad).
    I need help!

    Are you using moab icc profiles or are you using one of the epson profiles?
    I always use the moab profiles which you can download from their Web site. This way you are matching the specific epson printer with the specific moab paper.
    At that point you change the printer manages color to Lightroom manages color and select the specific profile. Very easy to do - they even have instructions on the Moab site for installing the profiles if you haven't done that.
    Once installed you can also use them through the system print dialogs in PS but it is really much much easier to use in LR - Since coming on board with LR last summer, I have switched to doing ALL printing from LR. Since you mentioned that you are having the same problem with LR and PS, I'm betting you are using epson profiles and this will solve your problem.
    Hope so
