Hi Severin Though I haven't come across that "exact" problem, I had a client with a R2880 that did have some printing issues for various things. (and it was actually running in 10.6.8 rather then Lion) Unfortunately it wasn't something that was easily fixed via a couple of lines of email., and infact took a bit of prodding and poking around various things to fix them. I wish I could offer some exact answers (or some exact fixing suggestions) but it wasn't that simple. A few things to try (from my job notes for it) were to download and reinstall the Epson driver. (Even as a stand alone download) Try Epson ones first - <http://tech.epson.com.au/downloads/product.asp> Then try Apple's ones - <http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US> There was also something about getting Page Setup (or similar) first to ensure it was using the "correct" Epson drive. (ensure it's loading the Epson driver and not the Epson Gutenprint driver). Set it there, and photoshop had another set of settings to adjust printer selection as well. Once we played around with a few of the printer selections and printer settings, we got it to mostly work a lot better then it did. (Though in the end it still missed something.) Sorry, I don't have Photoshop so can't' remember all of it straight from work notes. But that would be were I'd start working through first. You've got Photoshop fully updated (well bar the 5.5 version I'm guessing) Hope something there helps Kind regards Daniel --- Daniel Kerr MacWizardry Phone: 0414 795 960 Email: <daniel AT macwizardry.com.au> Web: <http://www.macwizardry.com.au> **For everything Macintosh** -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Settings & Unsubscribe - <http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug>
