OSX10.5, MacPro's and Epson?
« on: December 11, 2008, 12:42:50 pm »

There have been some discussions about Leopard running on the Intel Macs. The Epson drivers have some issues with ICC profiles apparently? My MacPro is still on Tiger and want to sort out some issues before I upgrade.

I've been on Leopard since shortly after it was released, Epson has pretty much updated all drivers. Running a 3800, 11880 and 7900 with no problems.

  ( perhaps some of the older printers still have issues, not sure they are updating those drivers - 4000,76/9600).

Thanks Wayne. I use a 3800. One of my contacts mentioned that his PPC Macs made the Leopard transition fine with printing on his 4800's, but for some reason he was still having glitches printing with his Intel Macs and Leopard. Good to hear it has been addressed. I guess some Intel Macs are still having some wireless issues if running Leopard.

Zero here as well other than the Advanced B&W, where, with CS4, you need to setup Photoshop Manages Color and select Adobe RGB (1998) as the "printer" profile. Printer Manages Color seems to work as well, I just stay way from that mode of printing.

I concur with everyone else. Running a 3800, 9800 and 9880 - no problems at all.

Has anyone had any luck finding a solution for printing to the x600 series Epson Prographics printers from Leopard?

So, are you saying you did download the leopard driver for the x600 and it is not working?
