Trouble with epson scanning in Snow Leopard

My shiny new iMac has managed to cope with most of my elderly applications but I cannot seem to get my Epson scanner to be recognised by photoshop elements. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the Epson latest drivers - all to no avail so far. Outside PE I can access the Epson Scanner window okay and scan from there but I really would like it all as it was before. Has anyone else had this or similar problems?

Many thanks Barbara. I thought that this must be the case because I have performed all the actions that the Epson guy told me to do but with no luck.
Whilst on the subject, and seeing as you know what you are talking about, how do I set my iMac to choose PSE (as a default) to open all my graphic files? Despite me using the 'Open With' option and saving them in PSE, the next time I double click on the graphic file it opens in Preview.

RastertoescpII failed with Epson R2880 under Snow Leopard

Hi,
Anyone still having problems with this?
I'm hitting the problems as identified in thread:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2335483&start=15&tstart=0
Be grateful of any help...
Kindest Regards.

I don't have Photoshop CS5, only CS4, and there you can click Page Setup... and from there go on to paper size, settings, format for... etc. Don't know if you can reach what you are after for the Epson there (I have a HP Color Laser 2600n), but have a look there. Somebody else might know better.
In other applications thatn Photoshop, have you clicked the downward arrow to the right of the name of the printer? That gives you more options for printing. Which they are depends on the application.

Pawtec UltraSlim External USB 3.0 on MacBook Pro 1,1 A1150 (Mid 2006) with 10.6.8 Snow Leopard

Hi,
I've quite a problem with my brand new Pawtec UltraSlim External USB 3.0 BluRay Burner (it is build around the MATSHITA BD-MLT UJ265 burner).
Writer works great with MacBook Pro5,5 13" A1278 (mid 2009), but things are completely different on MacBook Pro 1,1 A1150 (Mid 2006). When I insert a CD or DVD, burner tries to read it but after second stops. This pattern repeats over and over again. The only effect of all these attempts is burner unpleasant sound. The same thing happens on the Windows XP installed as a bootcamp on this MacBook (Mid 2006). I tried to solve the problem in the Disc Utility, but it doesn't recognise the writer properly. The writer appears there only for a few seconds and then disappears. What is more, when it is visible, all the buttons (options) are disactive.
As I said, this problem only occurs on the older MacBook Pro 1,1 A1150 (Mid 2006) with 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
On the newer MacBook Pro 5,5 13" A1278 (mid 2009) also with 10.6.8 Snow Leopard everythng works fine. Even on Windows XP installed as bootcamp on the newer Mac, burner works with flying colours.
If the software (Operating systems) are the same, that makes clear that something must be wrong with the hardware. But is the difference between these two MacBooks so great, that it makes impossible to read simple CD/DVD from external drive?
I didn't find any drivers/software for this burner on Pawtec as well as on Matshita webpage. PatchBurn works only up to Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger so this also isn't a solution.
Have You ever encounter this kind of problem? I will be gratefull for any ideas, solutions.
Thank You
Greetings
Jacoszek

Anyone has any advice? Or the problem is just the age and incompatibility of the old MacBook Pro 1,1 A1150 (Mid 2006) and the best way will be to change it into something newer?

When I send an email with a photo from snow leopard to email of a lion user, the photo shows up in the Lion email sideways. When they email it back it returns to correct position. Is there something in Lion causing this?

When I send an email via MACMAIL with a photo from snow leopard to an email of a lion user using At & T , the photo shows up in the Lion user email sideways. When they email it back it returns to correct position. Is there something in Lion causing this? This also happens when in in using iphoto'11 i share/email a photo to myself and the phot shows up sideways but is in a correct position prior to emailing.

I recently tried sending myself an email through Thunderbird to another email account to see if that was the case, but the email came in with a font so tiny that it was unreadable. I had chosen a font type and size (arial 10) and just coming into my outlook inbox was virtually unreadable.
And referring to the person I work with, she doesn't have problems getting anyone else's emails, just ones I send from Thunderbird.

How do I install 10.9.1 directly using an Air with 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?

How do I install 10.9.1 directly using an Air with 10.6.8 Snow Leopard? My friend shared a copy of the 10.9.1. installer but i can't seem to make it work. Help please!

Your friend's installer is tied to his computer, and will require his Apple login id to insall, as well as any future updates. Since you have Snow Leopard, 10.6.8, use the App Store app and create your own Apple login to download Mavericks from the App Store. It is free.
Have a nice day.

Need to boot new macbook pro (yosemite 10.10) with an external drive (snow leopard 10.6.8)

need to boot a new macbook pro (yosemite 10.10) with an external drive (snow leopard 10.6.8). Toshiba canvio 1TB, USB 3.0. Have formatted it for mac already. Actually works when chosen as the "boot drive" on my 2009? macpro desktop with snow leopard 10.6.8. OS. I still need to work from FCP 7.0.3 as we have many projects from the past that must be "re-edited" from time to time. The macbook pro sees the drive from the systems preferences as a "boot drive" but nothing happens when it is selected. Have also tried from start up, holding option key until drives appear for boot. Will only go as far as the grey screen with apple logo when selecting external drive.

Try using a virtual machine.
Parallels
VirtualBox
VM Fusion
Snow Leopard server for use with the above. Call 1-800-692-7753 and order part number MC588Z/A. Cost is $19.99 + sales tax and shipping.
Virtual Machine for 10.7/10.8

Is Xcode 4.1 compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard?

Is Xcode 4.1 compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard? Is Xcode 3.2.6 compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard?

Hello
Xcode 4.1 is only available for download within the AppStore on OS X Lion (which is free)
Xcode 4.2 is also only available on the AppStore but you need a paid membership of the developer program
However you can still download Xcode 3.2.6 (the last snow leopard compatible version) if your a registered developer at http://developer.apple.com (which is free)
Hope this helps

Problems printing from Epson RX500 in Snow Leopard

I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro. I downloaded the software update for my Epson photo RX500. Every time I try to print, I get an error message which says "/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/PrintJobMgr/Contents/MacOS/PrintJobMgr failed" Does anyone know what this means, and more importantly, how to fix it? Thanks for any ideas.

I too have an Epson Stylus Photo RX500. Also just bought the new iMac with Snow Leopard. I downloaded Apple’s driver and it was installed by the system. The printer and copying are working just fine, BUT I cannot get the software for the scan to open. It comes to the dock, bounces, then disappears. I went to the Epson web site, but didn’t see any help there. It does seem that Epson has given up supporting Apple’s new computers. That, or they are just behind times. :-D I am going to try to send them an e-mail and hope that I get an answer. Frustrating, isn’t it!!

HP Instructions for Printing and Scanning Under Snow Leopard

HP has posted instructions for Snow Leopard users for printing, faxing, and scanning on HP printers.
While the scan button (and installed HP printer management software) may no longer work on the printer, you can still scan if you go through the Preview or Image Capture programs on your Mac to access the scanner.
I tried it on my HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless printer that was unable to scan after upgrading to Snow Leopard, and it worked.
HP has posted the printer instructions for Snow Leopard at: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01846935&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en &product=1153481
Hope this helps some of you. It worked for me.

You can download VueScan as a trial without paying for it unless you want to.
As for enabling scanning with Image Capture you need the proper driver. As a start I would ask HP's tech support if they can help you get it working. Apple does not write any printer or scanner drivers. They are provided by HP or other printer manufacturers. Apple packages them for distribution with OS X. It's quite possible that the current scanner driver for your model isn't compatible with SL.
If you understand modern technology then you have to appreciate the fact that most things become obsolete within months. This is certainly true of computers and their peripherals. Software developers cannot keep up the pace with the hardware. A two year old printer has been obsolete for more than a year already. Unless HP still sells and manufactures that model, they tend to lose interest with them. SL only arrived in October 2009 which is after your model was released. So HP needed to provide compatible drivers. If they have then perhaps the problem with yours is related to something else, but I don't know what that would be beyond completely uninstalling all the HP software then letting the OS figure out what to install. SL automatically discovered both my printer and scanner, then installed the drivers for each.

Help with installing CS2 in Snow Leopard

Can anyone help me with installing CS2 on a MacBook running OSX Snow Leopard? I have trouble with activating the product and get a splach screen with a monkey element or logo rather than the adobe logos... confusion reigns!

Hi Rory, be aware that running CS2 products on Snow Leopard isn't going to be a supported combination. Here's a related thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/499253. Apparently some customers have been able to run CS2 software on Snow Leopard. You can also check with our chat support at http://adobe.ly/v6wfLL. However, I can't be certain that they'll be able to assist you. You might want to consider upgrading.

Epson R2400 (and maybe other Epson Printers) and Snow Leopard: A Solution

I installed Snow Leopard over the weekend and everything seemed to go fine, except the re-installation of my Epson R2400. It didn't work. The Epson Web site provides Snow Leopard assistance for the R2400, but it is counter-intuitive. The following will save you time.
First disconnect your printer from the computer.
Second, go to Mac system preferences, Printers and Fax and delete the Epson printer from the list.
Third, put your Snow Leopard disc back in your Mac and when the dialog comes up, select optional installations folder (or something like that--I don't have it open right now). Then check Rosetta and install it.
Fourth, go to the Epson Web site. You need to download a new set of drivers. Here is where it becomes counter-intuitive. You would think you should use the first driver and utility package listed, which is referred to as the Combo package. It refers to Snow Leopard (10.6) and it is the newest one. But you would be wrong using such simple logic. You want what is now the second one driver in the list--Printer Driver v.57, which also meets the system requirements.
Fifth, download v.57, install it, reconnect your printer and it prints just fine (I've only done one print so we will see).
I don't know whether the other Epson high-end printers contain such loopy instructions, but if you are confronted with a choice between a combo pack and a simple one, you might try the simpler one first.
Hope this saves someone some time and aggrevation.
Jack B. Siegel
P.S. This is not a completely new driver written for Snow Leopard--that may come sometime down the road or may not). This, so I am told, is a Power PC driver and Rosetta (as in Rosetta stone) is a utility that translates it so that it can be used on an iMac.
As a consumer, you should hate Epson. They, as has the world, knew Snow Leopard was coming for at least a year. By now they should have had all new drivers and this should have been worked out so that people didn't have to call technical support (a waste of my time and their's). Since the Epson R2400 is discontinued, they apparently don't feel compelled to provide premium service and updates for it. I bought mine about a 1.5 years ago. They should not abandon products this quickly after discontinuing them. As far as I can tell, they come out with a new printer in this price segment every couple of years. I shouldn't have to buy a new printer every two years.
But as I said to myself yesterday as I struggled with the problem: If I can't print, I can't buy ink.

I am sure your advice will help Mac users, however, my comment is on a different front. I remain fascinated at the extent to which Mac users refuse to blame Apple when they have problems with their OS. Many Epson drivers don't work, many HP drivers don't work, Cisco VPN (supposedly built into the OS) doesn't work for some, there are problems with PS CS4 and LR, other are having problems with Parallels Desktop, some are struggling to get AT&T's Laptop Connect card software to function, and Nikon has a warning up to not install the new OS if you want to use Capture NX2. Actually, do a search and you will find lots of complaints. Perhaps instead of just blaming Epson, HP, Adobe, etc., one might want to bring the producer of the OS into the equation. It certainly sounds like Apple was not working with some of its major software partners as closely as they should. It is hardly the case that Apple has a perfect record in this area anyway - there are reasons why there is a 64 bit version of PS CS4 for Vista/Windows 7 and not for 10.X. Of course, at least for companies like Adobe, Epson, Hp, Nikon, etc., they are also pushing to finish drivers and updates for Windows 7. Perhaps Apple should have factored that in when they pushed to beat Microsoft to release.
Leaving all of that aside, anyone who adopts any OS on the date of release 1) needs to do their homework to make sure the stuff they use will work, and 2) should expect that at least a few things won't function the way they want. That is a fact of life for early adopters, and should be considered even more likely to be the case in the middle of a recession that has sucked resources away from companies. Early adoption of any new technology, whether it be an OS, app, new computer, new camera, or things like a blue ray DVD player comes at some cost.
BTW, as a legal user of the Windows 7 RTM, I have found that PS CS4 and LR function exceptionally well and my Epson printer drivers work without issue - none of the apps or drivers have (as yet) even been updated for Windows 7. At least from my perspective, that would suggest that Mac users might want to turn at least a bit to the producer of their OS, and how it handled the development and release of 10.6, before laying all of the blame for problems at the feet of the hardware and software partners....

Awful Color on Epson 2200 after Snow Leopard Upgrade

I'm an experience photographer and printer who has done extensive printing on the Epson 2200 under previous versions of the OS using CS4. As a beta tester for Snow Leopard I had used it extensively on another machine before the release, so I did not hesitate to upgrade my photography production computer as soon as it was available this past weekend.
The problem I now have is that print colors are all wrong - very greenish (bluish?), which is typically a symptom that nothing is managing the printing out of PS. (Reddish/purplish prints are often a symptom that color is being managed by both PS and the printer's own software.) I have changed nothing else in my workflow or printing process besides doing the upgrade - I have a solid workflow process that works consistently and accurately, or should I say it DID work so until the upgrade.
I have installed the updated 2200 drivers from the Epson web site. I have removed and re-added the printer in the preferences panel. Still no joy.
Help? Advice? Anything to try that I haven't thought of yet?
Thanks in advance,
Dan

Thanks for offering a possible solution - but it doesn't work if one prints in the recommended way out of PS CS4 and lower. The normal and correct way to print is (as the person following your post mentioned) to select "Photoshop Manages Colors" by selecting this option in the first print dialog box, click the "Print" button at the bottom left to bring up the next "Print" dialog window, use the "Color Management" tab and select "No Color Adjustment."
The awful print is just as it was before the process you described, I'm afraid.
Are you perhaps choosing "No Color Management" in the first print window and then "Color Controls" from the "Color Management" dialog in the second window? This turns color control over to the printer, which is not the best or most accurate way to print. With this option I do, as I mentioned earlier, get a print that is "less awful" than the horribly bad dark green/blue and unusable version when I print the correct way - but the colors are not right. The effect may be subtle if you are not very critical about printer output, but I'm comparing a print made a few days before the upgrade to the best I can get using this second-best method and the print is noticeably bluer and darker - not consistent with the print output I need.
The Gutenberg option sounds interesting, but I have yet to hear of anyone getting a simple and consistent method of precisely duplicating the results using the normal "Photoshop manages colors" approach. And with high quality printing, consistent and predictable results are absolutely critical.
One person reported online that he had contacted Epson, whose representative told him to "get a new printer - do you expect us to support a printer that is six years old!?" Very bad attitude and awfully poor customer support if true. If I ask Epson today how long their new printers will last, do you think they'll tell me "no more than six years after the printer was first introduced?" And don't forget that most of the prints were not purchased on the day of introduction "six years ago," but were purchased perhaps several years after that. If this continues to play out this way, one would be very wise to reconsider purchasing any Epson printer but the very newest model right after introduction - and it might be a better idea to compare support with other manufacturers of excellent photo printers. HP photo printers are every bit as good as Epson and Canon has been doing an increasingly fine job recently.
It also doesn't help that the Epson site is completely silent on the subject of this and many other printers relative to Snow Leopard. I would not like it, but if they really don't intend to support the 2200 and other printers, where is the list of those that they no longer support? (Apple issues such a list from time to time.)
