Epson R220 & Leopard "Print CD Program"

Discus doesn't work on the R800 nor do the versions of Disc Cover in Toast or Popcorn.

I'm currently using an R220 with Disc Cover and it prints beautifully to disc. I use Disc Cover because it also allows me to use my external LightScribe drive from the same program. Seems like a great program and well worth the $36

OK People I found the solutions.. EPSON ***** for Customer support had to throw that out there..

1. Try this.. Goto Print CD.. Set up your label etc.. then Print.. gives you an error message ignore it (OK), click on Manual Print, Select your Epson Printer R220 (etc), keep paper size A4, click OK, Click to Printer Settings, Select Media Type (bottom of Menu) CD/DVD should come up.. and this folks should do it.. next time you open Print CD.. it will remember and work like it normally does...

2. If this does not work.. Install the new Epson Easy Print Driver, and continue with #1.. go luck..

I've been tearing my hair out with this same issue for a couple of days now and Epson support was no help

Thanks slopez for the solution. It worked great.

Also thanks to jamamerica for the heads up on Discus. Downloaded the demo and it also worked great. Will order tonight.

I just off the phone with Epson and one problem with Leopard is that it uses Apple's drivers for printing instead of Epson's. I couldn't print directly to CD because of that. Even when I used DiscCover or Disc Label, the formatting was all wrong even with calibration.

To see if that's your issue, go into system setting -> printers & faxes and then select the Epson printer from the menu. On the right, it will give information about your printer including KIND. If it has your printer name followed by GUTENBERG, that means it discarded the epson drivers in favor of the Leopard ones when you upgraded from Tiger or when you installed the printer.

You have to delete that printer (hit the minus button while it is highlighted). He then had me go to Macintosh HD-> Library->Printers and delete the entire Epson folder to prevent it from automatically reloading... this may be overkill, but...

Next, REBOOT.

Then go to Epson.com and download the latest mac drivers for your printer and install them. Go back to System Prefs->Printers and Faxes and click on the + button to add a printer.

When I did this it, my r1800 came up, but it had a drop down menu to choose the KIND and it still had the Gutenberg option, but it now had 'EPSON SP 1800'-the actual epson drivers. I chose that option and now it works flawlessly and I can again print to CD.

I am having the same issues on my R1800, called Epson, same answer about incompatability, etc.
The odd thing is that I can print all day long to paper, but the moment I want to print to CD, the driver doesn't work. Epson said they were working on a solution... that was 6 weeks ago.

For me, opening "epson print cd" application.

then under "file", click "update printer information"

now it works for me.

That's odd... I can't find that option in the print CD file menu. Could it be in a submenu?

What version are you running?

I'm on 1.4.0a of epson print cd.

I also updated to the latest version of easyprint (I'm not sure if that did anything though).

Slopez's solution works for me too. Thanks!

I'm on version 1.3.1a Print CD

and EasyPrint 3.1ba

I saw on another message board to change the page setup to CD/DVD, but didn't seem to work either.

Updating to the latest version of EasyPrint, deleting the Epson from SysPrefs and reselecting it did it for me... Good Luck!

Thank you so much slopez. This worked for me, after a couple hours of wild rage I can now deal with more mundane problems...like my try being misloaded.

: )

Wow! Thanks Slopez!!!

After installing the CD twice,
I typed in the question and the answer was there. THANKS for doing the research!

The Apple family rocks.

Where did you get Print CD v1.4.0a? I only have an earlier version on a CD that came with my R1800. Thanks.
