Hi Tom,

In Preferences/Print & Fax I added this 'new/old' driver (after  
clicking the +) leaving the other one showing as default.


When I ran EPSON Print CD again it found this other driver without  
me doing anything and I'm now back printing DVD's again.


It's like fumbling around in the dark, good luck with it.

Hi,

When trying to use EPSON Print CD I've been getting the error msg  
'The EPSON printer driver dealing with CD printing is not

The latest drivers from Apple don't include the RX650 only the  
RX600, RX620 and the RX680


Installing the latest drivers off the Leopard install disc didn't  
fix it in fact installing the latest drivers

from Epson or Apple seemed to be the problem.

Only after reloading the EPSON SP RX650 drivers from my old Tiger  
install disc would EPSON Print CD work.


I've only used EPSON Print CD the once so far after reinstalling  
from the Tiger disc so I don't if this will be an ongoing success.


Seems they left the CD printing drivers out of the 'updated'  
drivers.


Has anyone else had this problem or something similar?

I'm using OS 10.5.6 on my iMac 24" 3.06 Gz



Apologies for replying my email but I thought I'd add this for  
benefit of others with this problem.


There's some good discussion and cures for the problem here ..

CUPS-PDF and OS X 10.5.6 / Creating PDF files

[David Noel]

-- Thanks very much Bob, finally got it working. At first, with
'Generic Postscript Printer' from the driver list, it worked only in
greyscale, and couldn't get 'Generic postscript color printer, rev3a'
to stick - even though it showed this as active, it still printed in
greyscale. But restarting my machine seemed to convince the system to
use the colour driver.

-- Thanks again.

Thanks Bob,

That seems to be the way to do it.

Let's see if that works.

If not I might have to get a copy of Adobe Acrobat.

Regards

-- A recent suggestion (sorry, have lost link to the suggester) was to
use CUPS-PDF as an alternative way to produce PDF files (by installing
a virtual printer in your printer list). The (free) package can be
loaded from:

http://www.codepoetry.net/projects/cups-pdf-for-mosx

-- However the instructions for setting this up say to use the
'Printer Setup Utility', but this utility was apparently dropped when
Leopard was introduced. It appears all such things are now done
through 'Print & Fax' in System Preferences.

-- Does anyone know if CUPS-PDF can be used with 10.5.6?

Re: CD printing (EPSON SP RX650) problems with Leopard

Hi Tom,

After reloading the EPSON SP RX650 drivers from my old Tiger install  
disc ..


In Preferences/Print & Fax I added this 'new/old' driver (after  
clicking the +) leaving the other one showing as default.


When I ran EPSON Print CD again it found this other driver without me  
doing anything and I'm now back printing DVD's again.


It's like fumbling around in the dark, good luck with it.
