TICKET ARCHIVE -> Printing to Epson Stylus Color 740 From Photoshop

lneumann - Jul 20, 2005 - 4:39 pm

when i print from photoshop to my stylus 740, i no longer get the choices of which paper i'm using. if i open adobe illustrator (in classic) and place the photo there, i can 'tell' the 740 which paper i'm using, but the colors are very different from when i print directly from photoshop.

is there a way to look at what epson is offering me? i can't tell from the box.

thank you,
liz

Hi Liz! I need details:

--What system are you running?
--Have you upgraded recently?
--Have you repaired permissions?
--Are you working with RGB files?
--Have you changed your photoshop color profile?
--Are you printing directly from photoshop?

Answer these and we'll take it from there. We should be able to figure this out relatively quickly.

ok, nat:
OSX
i upgraded from photoshop 7 to photoshop cs.
i changed my color profile to a profile from my nikon d70.
(sorry i can't remember all these things.) i'm letting photoshop determnine the colors, but can't turn OFF 'manage color' in epson anymore.

it wasn't until i upgraded to OSX that i had the problem with the epson 'instructions'. they don't include paper type anymore. i googled and found ways to get to the epson utility, but it didn't work for me.

i forget the rest of your questions, but feel free to ask again. maybe i shd go to epson with these question?

tnx, liz

I need to know which OS X you're running so I can determine if epson has an updated driver for your system. (Thank you for the other information, by the way.)

10.3.9 is the operating system i'm using.
tnx, liz

Looks like epson doesn't have a driver for OS X:

You might need to download GIMP Print from version tracker. Gives you printer functionality in many cases when a driver isn't provided. Go here:

Let me know if this works out for you.
