The good news is that Epson did release updated drivers during the past week.
#Epson printer drivers mac snow leopard update#
I won’t recount the whole story here (that’s what links are for!) but the short version is that Epson had not updated their drivers when Apple released the OS update, and then Epson failed to communicate with their customers or update the drivers in a timely fashion – leaving photographers who used several of their printers including the 2200 “high and dry.”

For my part, I would not get a 2200 at this point, no matter how cheap it was – and I have not owned a 2200 since perhaps 2010 or so.)Ī while back I posted about serious problems with the Epson 2200 printer when used with Apple’s Mac OS X 10.6.x “Snow Leopard” operating system. In all likelihood, based on my past experience, this printer and other older Epson printers will not be supported indefinitely by Epson. This short article and link to Epson 2200 printer drivers was accurate when it was originally posted, but you should consult current information sources and perhaps contact Epson directly for update information. I've stuck with Epson since the K3 pigment inks work so well for my photo needs.(IMPORTANT NOTE: I generally do not remove old articles from this web site since search engines and other links tend to point to them. They've all got their plusses and minuses. I have little experience with Canon printers, more with HP. and they do a good job of working through them imo. The Adobe Creative Suite is enormous and very complex. I worked at Apple for years and helped developers through these issues.

The Epson driver does what a driver ought to do in every other application I use, none of which have any problems on Snow Leopard as far as I can tell, so I expect Adobe is pushing hard to get to CS5 for Mac OS X users rather than working hacks to fix CS4. I know they're working on it and expect that CS5 will be the 'big' update for Mac OS X, with all new UI code and much improved underpinnings. and have problems in how they're interacting with ColorSync too. Regards CS4, it was obvious from the day it shipped that Adobe was behind on the Mac OS X version. It's a bit like a "mini-RIP".Ĭlick to expand.I'm with you. It functions great, is 16-bit, and a pleasure to use.
I love the Canon-provided Photoshop plug-in for controlling prints. Each products' tweaks affects the others – printer, image editors, OS, etc. I don't envy the various "interested parties" when it comes to this stuff. But Eric Chan et al have provided a workaround that seems to be working for Epson users. I may go to the 8100, as it probably makes more sense than limiting to 24", but don't see a need for the 9100 in my case.Ĭurrently, the problem with printing profile targets in SL and CS4 is not a problem on Canon printers (referring to the iPF printers, can't speak for other models). Still, most of my photos are requested at 16x22 or 16x24, with some requests for prints in the 24xXX range. I don't need 60" for what I do, though I could find use for 30" wide or so. I really like 16" prints, which is my primary print size, but I'd like to print on 24" paper now. One 5000 is converted to act like a 5100 (aka "5050"). I have two iPF5000s and looking to add a 6100 or possibly 8100. Perhaps there are models that I've not seen. I'm interested only in the 12-ink models, and therefore also don't follow any of the 8-ink models. I'm only aware of the pigment ink printers using Lucia inks. I'm not aware of dye-based ink printers in the iPF line, other than the CAD and other design stuff (though that doesn't mean much). Lots of photographers love their Epson printers and justifiably so, but for the printing styles of some, there are better choices available. I love my Canon iPF printers, though I know that there are ways in which the Epsons excel too. To be fair, Canon printers have their issues just as any do, but until I can print matte and semi-gloss prints interchangeably with ZERO ink loss I won't buy an Epson printer. And according to Wilhelm Image Research, Canon inks rank very highly with regard to longevity (higher than Epson, lower than HP, using common paper options). Canon provides drivers which properly deal with Apple's current ColorSync woes, as well as provides a nice Photoshop plugin for handling 16-bit (or 32-bit) printing tasks.
(Canon properly circumvents the ColorSync handoff issue that some drivers do not.) Epson is surely the 800lb gorilla in the room, but I refuse to buy their printers which require any purge (even "minimal") to simply change paper types.Įpson output is excellent, as is the output of the Canon imagePROGRAF printers.

Canon has done a much better job with regard to the software problems with SL as well as with the matte black/photo black ink situation IMHO. but Epson isn't the only solution if you're considering a printer change. This isn't a proper post, in that it's not an answer to your question.
