Why can't CC recognize my Epson 3800 printer?

I have downloaded the current printer driver for OS Maverick but CC still won't recognize the printer.

Have you checked with Epson to see whether they have a Mavericks-compatible driver or an update of their printer driver for your model?

Drivers for Epson 3800 printer

Hi, I am just beginning to learn how to print and would like to set up my Epson 3800, print from Lightroom, using Leopard. From reading all the issues folks have had, my first question is this: Should I even download the drivers that came with the printer, or do I use the new ones available on the Epson site? I gather paper profiles are included on the CD that came with the printer--would those also be on the download from the Epson site? Having never set up a printer to begin with, any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK ... A difference! In ColorSync Utility, I clicked on Devices, expanded Printers->Epson Stylus Pro 3800->Pro38 PLPP. Then, clicked the drop down for "current profile" associated with this paper, and chose Other and navigated to the Pixel Genius Epson Exhibition Paper profile, because this is the profile I want to use with EFP paper from LR. The driver paper selection is PLPP. Now it's associated with the profile I want to use. If I were to ever want to use PLPP paper, I would have to remember to reverse this in ColorSync I presume. NOW ... I went into LR and proceeded as if I would print using the PG profile from LR. When I went into the driver, I clicked on Preview and low and behold .... NO more green cast!! I can assume the output to the printer would be OK. Whether the PG profile is doing its job from LR, I don't know for sure. It looks from Preview the same as if I had specified Pro38 PLPP in LR. Anyone??
EDIT: I've CONFIRMED it! The ColorSync workaround DOES fix the 3rd party profile problem in LR! I specified Pro38 PLPP as the profile in LR, compared it with the PG Preview and there was a difference, proving that the PG profile was being used to render the print output from LR, now without the color cast.
BINGO! Just printed out the previous problem image, and it printed exactly as shown in Print Preview specifying the PG profile in LR for Epson EFP (which says to use PLPP in the driver, but that paper is now associated with the PG profile via the ColorSync Utility). At least there's a workaround fix to the the color shift problem printing from LR!
TIP: As learned from Jeff Schewe in his Camera to Print tutorial, remember to set Print Sharpening to High in LR to achieve printer output sharpening.

Why can't I get the Kodak Document Print App in the UK?

Why can't I get the Kodak Document Print App in the UK?

"Apparently it's available in the US iTunes store but not here?"
Because Kodak has chosen not to make it available there.
"Can't for the life of me understand why that should be!"
You do not have to understand it for it to be so.
You can try asking Kodak, as they make the app.

Epson 3800 Printer & Photoshop CS4

I've had the snow leopard disc since it came out some 6 months ago, but haven't installed it due to so many issue that I've read about.
1) Is anyone using snow leopard successfully with the Epson 3800 Printer? Epson has yet to release (if they ever will remains a mystery for owners of this printer) a full-fledged update for the driver.
2) Is anyone using Photoshop CS4 with snow leopard without issues?
Thanks.

Well Adobe did it again offering a discount to convert to CS5 just before they released a new version of PSE that is PSE9 for mac
Tested it and the colours come out perfectly just like CS5 and they acutally left in the option on the print screen to select "NO COLOUR MANAGEMENT". In CS5 they pulled it out and as PSE9 appears to be made up of CS5 they must have back tracked on this option after the yelling and screaming from the community.
However we now have(another problem) an issue with grey/cyan printing outside the image area being printed see

Why does my Epson 3800 printer not print to scale?

I have designed a cover for a brochure in Illustrator CS4 that I intend to print at home. This cover has a mixture of colour graphics and mono text. The mono text prints more clearly on my HP LaserJet 2200 than my Epson 3800 inkjet printer so I intend to run my covers through the laser printer first for the mono text and then through the inkjet printer for all the colour items.
I did this for last year's brochure cover without any apparent problems but my latest design is highlighting the fact that the laser printer is placing items on the page more accurately than my inkjet paper - which results in some misalignment. My Epson 3800 appears to be slightly expanding my Illustrator page layout even though I have selected the 'Do Not Scale' option in the Illustrator Print dialogue box. A measurement between two items in my Illustrator design is 278 mm. The same dimension on the printed page is 284 mm, i.e. 6 mm wider, which is a non-trivial error.
Can anyone provide an explanation and/or solution for this behaviour?
David

Hi Harron,
Thanks for a rapid and accurate answer. The borderless option was indeed the culprit.
Your reply was also very useful in alerting me to the existence of the 'Retain Size' option under Expansion. I'd never seen that before, despite owning my Epson 3800 for over two years! Of course, I could have read the manual ....
The human brain is a puzzling thing. I don't think I'm stupid but I'd always ruled out the use of full bleed items in any of my amateur graphic design work as I didn't fancy printing everything on A3 just to cut it down to A4 (I use folded A4 to create an A5 brochure). I totally forgot my inkjet printer's capability to make borderless photographic prints. It's as if my brain was divided into a graphic arts compartment and a photographic compartment.
Quite by accident, your comments have made both halves of my brain talk to one another and now my cover design benefits from the use of full bleed. I can't thank you enough!
David

Why can't iPhoto recognize duplicate pictures?

My dad recently reinstalled OSX on his computer. He regularly backs up his photos on discs and hard drives, so there's a lot of overlap. While importing the files back into iPhoto 6, duplicates of two, three, and sometimes four keep popping up. Why can't iPhoto not import duplicates like the camera import? We can't possibly sort through 10,000 photos manually!

Check out
Duplicate Annihilator
You might also like to research how to back up and restore iPhoto to avoid the problem occurring in the first place. For instance, if you've backed up the entire iPhoto Library Folder, then all you need to do is copy it back to the Pictures Folder and launch iPhoto - there's no importing. Something similar is the case if you've backed up using the Share -> Burn command. The specifics will vary depending on how you back up.

[WIN XP] Epson 3800 Print Previews

Hi,
After spending quite some time with Lightroom I developed kind of a love/hate relationship which more and more swings over to the love side. Right now I love LR because my prints come out of my 3800 like a charm!
One behaviour that I can't explain though:
If I am printing out of Photoshop, the Epson printer preview roughly matches the print. I am leaving the CM to PS, and I am using a hardware (Gretag) calibrated and profiled monitor. I am also using specific paper profiles. Results are perfect. Same good results for b/w with the Epson extended b/w mode.
In LR the printer preview shows totally unusable colors (magenta, too light etc.). The print itself: Perfect! Same behaviour of the preview with different paper profiles, CM to LR, CM to printer. BUT: The print preview in the Epson extended b/w mode was ok, as was the print itself.
Printing without preview delivers the same good results.
Does somebody have a clue why there are these differences between PS and LR?
The print preview isn't all that important to me. But without this possibility I really, really would like to see softproofing in LR.
Regards, Wolfgang

Thanks Dave for the reply. I do monitor the forums quite closely and have read all the links you suggest. The request for some more discussion was after already conducting tests about specific areas outlined in my post. Again, thanks for the reply. Any other replies would be nice too. LOL.

CS3, Mac OS 10.5.5, Epson 3800 Printing Problems (v6.11)

Since recently migrating to MacIntel running an obligatory 10.5.5 , I've been encountering problems printing to my Epson 3800 of 2 kinds that had previously not arisen on PPC based Macs using 10.4+: 1) When switching media that requires a change of black ink (photo black to matte or vice versa) there does not seem to be a straightforward way to go about this without encountering glitches (previously this had been handled smoothly by the driver); 2) The driver indicates randomly that my paper feed parameters are incorrect for a given job, when in fact this is not the case, and this makes printing needlessly irksome and inefficient. This is a marvelous printer that I've been using for the past 15 months so I'd appreciate any suggestions that would allow me to remedy these problems.

Dear Ralph,
Thank you for replying to my post.
It does not seem that I will solve my problem by localisation "rectification". I am in an all International environment. Hmm.
Do you use InDesign CS3 in a totally colour managed environment?
I just got a Colour Profile done for my Intel Mac machine from InDesign and it is 'less than perfect'. Very frustrating.
This colour expert suggests I set up my work flow as follows:
[Well if I was allowed to include snapshots of my screen they would appear here.]
The Printer Profile I am using in the Colour Management dialogue box is the profile provide by the Colour Expert.
How do you set things up please?
I had, in fact still have, an Epson 3000 that the Colour Expert profiled and gave me phenomenal colour accuracy up until OS 10.5.5 when the Epson driver became non-operational. I am so disappointed that I am having so much difficulty with the 3800.
I think there are Adobe v. Mac issues plus driver problems!!!
If you can shed any light on this, I would welcome it.
Thanks.

I am using epson 3800 printer

I am unable to print anything larger then a 5x7 print regardless of the setting that I use in lightroom 4 can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong, or how to print a image that is 11x14. ??????

I also have an Epson 3800 and have no problem printing on any size paper I can fit in it. It is hard to tell where the problem is based on your minimal description but, you may have the 5x7 paper size selected in print section of LR or your printer driver may have that paper size selected. To check the printer driver settings, click on "Page Setup" in the print module and drill down into the printer properites. What is your paper source set to?

Why can't I see my Canon MP510 printer in my System Preferences?

Hi...
I've spent hours trying to find my issue in these discussions. I bought a Canon Pixma MP510 with my Macbook and it was easy to install and I began printing immediately with no problems.
Recently, I kept getting a strange message that one of my ink cartridges wasn't recognized (it didn't look like the ink was depleted, but everyone told me I should replace it), and I was unable to print...nothing was coming out on the printer, so I replaced the black ink tank (the one that was not lit up and giving me the problem). Figuring that would solve the issue.
NOT SO. When I try to print now with the new cartridge, nothing happened. Although once I did get a sheet of paper that "went through the motions". A friend suggested I delete my printer (I had two for some reason) and reinstall. I did that. Now I keep getting a message that my computer is "searching for printer" like my printer wasn't even there!! Then I think maybe it's the driver. So I go to the Canon website to look for an updated driver, thinking maybe that's it.
I found the updated driver and went through the install instructions (it's not rocket science, for God's sake) and still no printer listed in my Print and Fax preferences. It can't be found. I have never been so frustrated in my life. Why can't printing EVER be easy? I seem to always have problems with printers and drivers and this kind of thing. There's not even anything that addresses this problem in my printer's online manual. It seems that once you get an issue as simplistic as a cartridge replacement, everything else screws up. What am I doing wrong? Am I missing a step????
PLEASE PLEASE HELP before it winds up outside in the freezing rain. Thank you so much!!!

I do remember resetting my print system through the set-up utility and it didn't work, although that was before I deleted and re-installed the software. I did not try the AirPort Admin steps, however. Does that just automatically "turn off" when there is a situation like a changed ink tank or something?
How about if someone joined my network? Would that just knock off the printing?
I will try that again when I get home from work to see if that helps.
Thank you very much! I'll update later with my results.

SONY SLT A77 AVCHD downloaded to iMac (Mountain Lion-OS 10.8.2) via iMovie. Why can't QuickTime recognize the movie?

I have a new SONY SLT A77 Camera. I did some test movies using AVCHD format and downloaded it to my iMac with MacOS 10.8.2 via iMovie '08. When I tried to open the clip from the iMovie Events File, QuickTime 10.2 (603.6) failed to recognize the movie format. Why?

This is tricky dick! I have my HP-6L laserjet working with my iMac! I am using a Sabrent USB to 36-pin parallel cable. I downloaded the glutenprint 5.2.9 driver and installed it! The laserjet is working flawlessly!

HT1911 Why does the Apple ID password on my iPhone never work on my iMac desktop? I have to keep changing them when I login back and forth. Why can't it recognize on either device?

It seems that every time I login on my iPhone to buy iTunes, it doesn't recognize my password and I have to change it. Then when I go to iTunes to synch, it says my password which I created on the SAME APPLE ID is invalid and I have to change it. I tried to change it to the same password each time, but still it was not recognized by the other device. Is it because I'm not on Lion or Mountain Lion? (although I seem to remember this problem happening before there was iCloud)
Thanks for any help.
Therese X.

Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe

Why can't parallels recognize an SD card as easy as a USB flash drive?

Using parallels , I want to access pictures from my SD card but windows does not recognize the SD. It will easily access the pics if they are transferred onto a flash drive of transferred to a folder. I do not want to have to take the extra steps. Do not need to on any pc.

Check with the folks at Parallels how the program can read the SD card reader.
