Title: epson 7800 mac drivers
Post by: Campking111 on December 11, 2018, 04:46:18 pm

I inherited an epson 7800. The drivers I get off the epson site are buggy. I have tried 5 different operating systems and several computers. It seems to to work with 24 inch roll paper. I have yet to try it with 17 inch wide roll paper.  The 8.5 by 11 only gives me a full print if I print it with the vertical setting. Super A1 seems okay. Is there a specific mac operating system that is compatible?

What MacOS version and what app are you using to print?  Epson has their 'Print Layout' that may be of help, and you can always try QimageOne.

10.10.5 with preview and 10.5.8 on an older mac with PS. Holding off installing PS6 on the newer imac as it is my last install. I will give Qimage a shot. I remember using it on a PC many years ago.

verify that you have NOT mistakenly installed the 'Airprint' driver (an alternate simplified driver that may
be present but then again, maybe not since the 7800 is a bit on the older side).
