Post by: hippy Green on July 05, 2007, 07:42:31 am

Hi There

I am changing the computer my epson 4800 runs on from G5 1.8 tower to a MB Pro I wanting to move the custom print settings. Is there any way I can do this?

Damien

on the Epson R2400 running under XP the files are as follows -

C:\Program Files\EPSON\Epson Stylus Photo R2400

there are two files -

E_FCF19SE.UCF and E_FCF29SE.UCF

One is for PK settings, the other for MK. I assume UCF stands for User Configuration File.

It may be a similar setup for your 4800.

Hello

For OS X, the custom page sizes are global (any printer). The file you seek is: "com.apple.print.custompapers.plist" and can be found in the "Library --> Preferences" folder of your account."

Just type "custompapers" in Spotlight and it'll be at the top of the list.

All you need to do is copy that file to the similar folder on your MB Pro.

Same location (~/Library/Preferences/), the file is com.apple.print.custompresets.plist.
