Why does Epson Stylus Photo PX710W Print Rubbish from Firefox

When I print from a website any pictures are fine but the text is gobbledegook. If I print directly from my PC (Word, Excel etc.) it prints perfectly. this happens whether I use the Print command from the Firefox main menu or whether I use the website print option.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I changed my printer

I disagree a bit because my Epson printer/scanner worked very well for over 3 years. It worked under Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion. But since I installed Mavericks my scanner doesn't work anymore. It's just a case that Epson is very slow in upgrading the drivers within an appropriate time on the one hand and not giving any foresight how long it takes to repair drivers on the other hand. Their website is inadequate and gives me absolute no information at all. I can understand their vision when it comes to printer/scanners which are very old i.e 10 years and mor. But not for relatively new printer/scanners.
So, if anybody can help i'll be very greatefull.

Using Lightroom for Windows 8.1 with Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer.

Using Lightroom for Windows 8.1 with Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer. From PRINT section, if I click either "Page Setup" or "Printer" I get the Epson printer dialog box, drill down, change settings- so far so good. When I'm finished with the settings and close the dialog box (hit OK) the print job starts immediately; I never get a chance to hit the Lightroom "Print" button. Question: does this bypass any Lightroom processing or control of the print job?

Even if I just click the Printer button to verify my settings I should then return to Lightroom, and then click Print to start the job. This does not happen, the job starts as soon as I close the properties dialog box. Again, is any Lightroom processing or control being bypassed because of this?

WIFI scan Epson Stylus Photo PX710W does not work under OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) and

Since yesterday (27/10) i have installed OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) on my iMac. Now there is a problem with my Epson Stylus Photo PX710W. I cannot scan via WIFI. It seems that the problem is with the scan.app version 3.7.1. I can oly scan via USB and cable, but that's not why I bought a WIFI printer/scanner for.
Is there anybody who can offer me a solution for my problem?

Bought a new Mac Pro, purchased a Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter, then hooked up Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer but the system preferences does not see the printer. Started, restarted, hit the " " to add a printer but no go.

How to connect via Firewire/Thunderbolt adapter an Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer to a new Mac Pro

When you switch from USB to FireWire, you have essentially installed a new (i.e., different) Printer.
In the Add-a-Printer dialog, delete[-] the existing Printer queue which is set up for USB. Then, with the Printer connected via FireWire, Add [+] a new Printer queue and it should set it up correctly this time.
To go back to USB, you would have to delete and re-add in a similar fashion later.

Epson Stylus Photo PX710W is not compatible with Mavericks

I still cannot scan with my Epson Stylus Photo PX710W. My scan driver (scan.app version 3.7.1) is not compatible with Mavericks. Who can help me?
Epson does not react to my question when the correct driver will be available.
Epson indicate to their FAQ’s, but this is will not help since the ICA scan only works when my printer/scanner is connected to my Mac via USB. I bought this EPSON printer/scanner because it was wireless. Now after just 3 years I miss this important option.
I see a lot of discussion about Epson scan drivers but little help from Epson
Who can lead me to an appropriate scan driver for my Epson device?

Adobe PSE 8 + Epson Stylus Photo PX710W - Cannot Get This Combo to Work

Hi All
Apologies for length of posting but I am really at the end of my tether with this. I should say that prints from this printer have not impressed me even from when I first received it about a month ago when I was printing from Epson Easyprint software. They looked washed out and not at all vibrant and I was using Epson inks and papers. However things got a whole lot worse when I started to use PSE8 which gave prints that were far darker than those on screen. Interestingly the best prints so far came from me simply inserting my SD card directly into the printer this morning but obviously that gives little-to-no control over manipulation.
So, if somebody could help me I would really appreciate it. Here are my latest settings:
Snow Leopard 10.6.4
Macbook Pro 2.66 GHz Intel Core Duo
Epson Stylus Photo PX710W
Adobe PSE 8 (Mac)
Note that I spent the whole of yesterday working on this to the stage where I uninstalled and reinstalled all of the Epson stuff. I also consulted the following link (and related links) and downloaded the latest Mac Updater from the Epson US site.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10609503
My latest print driver from the Epson CD is showing as version 6.61
I also loaded Epson ICC profiles
I have calibrated my monitor using the Eye-One display 2.
When I print in PSE I am choosing:
Colour Settings: Always Optimise Colour for Computer Screens (I chose this because my photo file is showing as sRGB)
Colour Management:
Colour Handling: Photoshop Handles Colour (I disabled Printer Colour Management in another menu)
Image Space: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
Printer Profile: SPPXTX 810 710 Epson Glossy
Rendering Intent: Relative Colorimetric
I truly hope this is a case of user error on my part so all advice welcome. Or just let me know if oyu know of a better printer:)
Many thanks

I also had enough with Epson Stylus Photo PX710W... I am buying a new printer. I have tried everything to make it print from photoshop nice vivid colors, if you consider i am using a very well calibrated monitor special for video editing. i used also Dekke settings for Colors and are not even close to the original when printed and i can't seem to figure out whats the problem. I disabled printer color management and let photoshop handle it. I tried Adobe RGB, i tried Epson Standar bla bla bla... I searched the subject very deeply as to inform everybody before posting anything that i have no problem with my videos whatsoever. I have tried numerous settings (almost all photoshop could offer) and have consumed a lot of ink and printed thousands the same picture to compare the settings and wrote with a marker on it each times the combination of settings that i did. Not even close... I realized only one thing just to also let others know and get them out of trouble... Epson Stylus Photo PX710W + Mac = Disaster! Good for windows yes, but buying a Epson Stylus Photo PX710W for your Mac? FORGET IT! I'm throwing it to the waste bin or i will just give it away to someone for free.

What's the best driver for an Epson Stylus Photo R260 printer?

After the last couple of driver updates for Mavericks, my printer won't print just black although it is using the black ink to shade colors darker. I previously used another driver but didn't buy it after the trail period was up but now I'm getting desperate. Unfortunately, I can't remember that driver's name. Does anyone have a suggestion for a driver for an epson stylus photo r260 inkjet?

How are you trying to set the print to just black? Are you setting the color to Grayscale under Print Settings in the Print window?
Should be the same for the 260 as the 280.

Using iMac, Aperture 3, and & Epson Stylus Photo R1800 printer: How come my prints look like trash?

I have calibrated my iMac Intel Core i3 and printing through Aperture 3 with an Epson Stylus Photo R1800 is not producing great results. Cyan is dominating along with blue lines through the grass in the picture. I figure the lines are a result of clogged head...but the fact the prints are not close to the image on the screen is alarming. HELP!!!

SFSteinie,
There is an Aperture forum, I'd recommend reposting there and perhaps another R I 1800 users has some insight you may not know about.

Epson Stylus Photo 820 print workaround for OS 10.3.9?

Howdy!
I have an Epson Stylus Photo 820 that I'm using under OS 10.3.9- that I can't seem to (directly) print to out of in most applications. It works fine in Safari and Entourage and Quark; but out of Photoshop, Illustrator; InDesign, Word, etc., there's no print option. I have to click Preview first and then am able to print. It doesn't work at all with Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 and one or two other apps. The driver I have installed is version 1.1.0 (I didn't see any updated drivers on the Epson page). The Print Manager sees it in the queue. It's checked and set as the default printer. Yet, I still have the headache.
Anyone else having similar problems? Is there a workaround?
Also- I kind of miss my printing options of my (long gone and MUCH better quality) Epson 740 under OS 9 where I could set the print quality level of the print out. Is there a similar option for the 820 under OS 10.3.9?
Thanks in advance for any help!
G4 Dual Boot, MDD, Dual 1.25 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Thanks, but the one driver that may have worked (though it states for OS's 10.1.3-10.2.6... there is no 10.3.9 version) has a dead link.

This is really frustrating that Epson will take your money and not support their product. No wonder they have a huge class action suit against them.

Epson Printer problem "Epson Stylus Photo PX710W" - solved!

Hello All,
My system: OS 10.6.4
I am posting this in the hope that it is useful to someone. Firstly, the printer is great. However, I had a really frustrating time trying to print via Iwork, Iphoto or print off an email directly in a web browser. Each time I did this an error appeared stating there was an error with the library and it failed to print. For me, I really wanted to be able to print from, say the Apple word processing programme "Pages", or print of emails with important details etc. So I persevered and finally came to a solution!
After contacting Epson (and Apple!) a few times one Epson guy gave me the following instructions. Please note I accept no loss or damage directly or indirectly from following this advice if you have the same problem of not being able to print out emails in browsers or print from Iwork, or Iphoto, whether you choose to follow this advice or not is solely your responsibility, however this worked for me:
EMAIL FROM THE EPSON ENGINEER
From the information you have provided, it would suggest that either a communication problem is present or the Mac is unable to display the EPSON driver in the Printer Browser.
It is recommended that all EPSON Printers are removed and re-installed and you repair the communications.
To uninstall your printer:
1. Make sure that the EPSON printer is connected to the Mac through a direct USB connection (not through a Hub or the Keyboard) and switched on.
2. Make sure that the Mac is on and booted.
3. In the Mac Hard Drive/Applications/Utilities open the Printer Set-up Utility.
4. Remove all the references to the printer model.
5. Disconnect the printer from the computer.
6. We will now remove the EPSON Printer driver from the system and delete the drivers that you downloaded.
Go to the Mac Hard Drive/Library/Printer and move the complete EPSON folder to the trash. Warning this removes all EPSON Printers.
7. Also remove any drivers that were previously downloaded to the trash if the file name does not match that from our web site.
8. Restart the Mac.
9. Empty the trash.
10. Now we will run a repair utility that may take up to 30 minutes to complete so please plan for this. Go to Mac Hard Drive/Applications/Utilities and open the Disk Utility.
11. Select Disk First Aid at the top of the dialogue box.
12. Select the Mac Hard Drive Icon in the left hand pane.
13. Select Repair Permissions at the bottom of the dialogue box.
14. When this has completed restart the Mac. Power the printer on and ensure that it is directly connected to a USB port on the Mac and not via a third party device such as a USB hub.
You will now need to download the driver/s from the Epson website. Please connect to the Epson website via the link below:
http://www.epson.co.uk/support
Type in your product in the search field and then select the correct model. Then select your operating system if this is not automatically selected. Then please click the down arrow next to drivers and downloads and download the printer driver for your printer and ensure this starts in the Download Manager. The file may be in a SIT format, which requires Stuffit Expander to expand the compressed files, if you have not installed Stuffit, it is available from:
http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander
Please try the following to install and add the driver:
1. Locate the downloaded file, if in a SIT format, this requires Stuffit Expander so have Stuffit running.
2. If the file is a .DMG file, you do not require Stuffit, double-click the downloaded EPSON driver file and this will expand to reveal the dmg file and mounted drive.
3. Double-click the blue VISE icon when presented.
4. Follow the on screen prompts to install the driver, restarting the Mac when necessary.
5. Once restarted the driver needs adding to the printer list. To do this please go into the hard disk, go into the folder called Applications, double click on the folder called ‘Utilities’. You should see in this window the ‘Printer Setup Utility', double click on this icon. This will present the Printer List.
6. Delete any reference to the printer that may be on this list already as these may not be the genuine EPSON driver.
7. Click the add icon at the top and a dialogue box will appear, this will be the Printer Browser.
8. Next highlight the printer and then select add printer. Note: Do not choose a printer from the list of Epson printers. Your printer will not appear here, nor will the genuine Epson driver. You should be able to highlight the printer and choose 'Add'. If 'Add' is not available, leave the Printer Browser open and do not do anything else on the Mac, leave it open for about 10 minutes. When you come back to it, you should now find 'Add' available.
9. The printer should now be added to the printer list. Test the printer by highlighting it on the Printer List and selecting 'Utility'. The EPSON Printer Utility will appear, ensure paper is loaded and select to print a 'Nozzle Check'.
If you have an All in One, then to install the scanner component, locate the downloaded EPSON Scan driver and double-click this. The files will unstuff and a window will appear with the EPSON Scan Installer. Double-click this icon to initiate the installation.
11. Once installed, restart the Mac and the scanner should be ready to use. You can test this by going to: Applications : EPSON Scan.
If you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.

Here was an easy-ish way which I did it:
Step 1) Install the bloated, piece of garbage Epson software so that you have a copy of the driver, or alternatively, just install the driver.
Step 2) go into your router (http://192.168.0.1, user: admin, pass: admin) and set up what's called static ID. Just figure out the MAC address of your printer and assign a unique static ID to it, ie 192.168.0.100
Step 3) go into system preferences> printers> add printer (+)> IP> Line Printer Daemon - LPD and as the address give it the static address you assigned (192.168.0.100). If you installed the driver, it should automatically detect and select it.
VOILA!

IPhoto 6 and Epson Stylus Photo 2200 Printer

The photos that I print from iPhoto 6 to my Epson 2200 printer are all coming out way too green. What settings do I need to use in the print dialog -- and color management? -- to get decent results? I can print beautifully from Photoshop CS2 to the 2200. I just can't figure out what settings to use in iPhoto. Thanks in advance for your help with this question. _sidpink
G5 Tower Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Kingstone's reply was helpful even though a little discouraging. But it made me realize that the problem probably lies with the choice of which software is doing the color management. The Epson 2200 printer driver provides some "advanced" settings in the print window, and I had been specifying "No color adjustment," because that's the setting recommended when printing from Photoshop. I had simply been trying the same setting when printing from iPhoto. But I went back and printed a photo from iPhoto using the "Color Controls" setting (without changing any of the variables), and the print came out perfectly! So I've answered the question to my satisfaction thanks to Kingstone's reply -- and I don't have to go out and invest in Photoshop Elements.

Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer driver will not update from 2.53 to 3.0

I am having an issue with installing a print driver from Epson's web site. I do not have access to the print options or any other settings of the printer when i try to FILE>PRINT. The choices are crossed off the list and say "This panel is not compatible with your computer. Contact the printer manufacturer for the latest version of your printer software."
It says my driver is version 2.53, I installed the 3.0 Driver numerous times today, one of which was with an Epson tech support representative and their conclusion was that it is something wrong with my computer.
The printer prints and is recognized in the print & fax utility; i can add and remove it at will, but the 2.53 will not upgrade to 3.0.
Has anyone had this problem?

Hi Apos, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Is this the driver you got, v3.10...

Epson stylus photo RX595 Printer stopped after updates

I just updated my computer stuff to 10.5.7 and my printer suddenly stopped working. I actually updates several items, but I imagine it was the OS. I can access the printer utility and it will still give me ink levels and other info, but it won't print. The status just changes to "stopped." Stuff like this makes me want to not update the computer.
Any ideas?

I don't have any answers for you. Something similar happened to me . . . when I went wireless with Apple Airport Extreme. I did everything: read all the postings on the topic . . . and there a zillion! I called Epson, they have NO CLUE. I finally connected the printer directly to my iMac, so I am able to print, but I am still unable to scan.
You might try trashing all the Epson stuff in your apps folder and reinstalling from the discs or from the website. Good Luck.
If anyone else has an idea, I'd love to hear it. I have a drawer full of Epson inkjet cartridges, so am reluctant tow switch to another printer . . . but I am sorely tempted.

Epson stylus photo r2880 printer problem

I changed the settings for printing color prints and now I can't correct what I've done. I was getting dark prints and so I figured I'd try a different setting... between "Printer manages colors" and "Photoshop manages colors". I've completely mucked things up so now I'm getting really dark prints with very little magenta and cyan. I'd like to return to what I had as I'm on a deadline but, I can't remember what the original setting were. Relative Colorimetric or Absolute? Was Black Point Compensation checked? Was 16 bit/channel checked? I'm so confused and I have prints that clients need. Thanks in advance for any HELP! Gregory

be sure to UnCheck the 16-bit option in the Epson print dialogs (it is a known bug that causes dark, off-colr prints)
try reviewing this CS6 Photoshop Manages Colors workflow
and the troubleshooting tips there
make sure you get a cean nozzel test pattern and are printing on the correct side of the paper...
