green colorcast when printing with preview

Hi Serge. I have the same problem. I have recently upgraded to Tiger and now my once lovely Epson Photo R 800 is now printing everything in a green tinge. Also I have lost all my printer options.
Any advise would be much appreciated ASAP as I need to do some work.

Any chance you are using the Gimp-Print driver and not the Epson USB driver?

re-ADD in Printer Setup. Don't accept the printer immediatately, instead, click More Printers. Then select Epson USB from the new menu. Now select your printer, select Page Setup : ALL and finish up. Try it.

No I am not. I got rid of the Gimp printer drive after all sorts of problems! I went to the Epson site, UK I think and down loaded their latest driver.
I have also noted that draft printing is now really, really dull! I have also lost all the printer drivers that used to be with the printer, ie , boaderless, cd print etc.
If I could I would get rid ot Tiger but I think its a bit late!

Same here !
I lost the Epson Printer Utility when I go tTiger, now it just quits when i try to open it !
I reinstall the drivers a million times, and I spoke with Epson, they said they don't have a driver specific for Tiger yet, but the 10.3 they said should work, but now i guess it doesn't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if anyone has a solution fo rthis , please advise!

Hi Geg, me again. I have done what you suggested and this time it has worked!!!! Thank you. I dont know what I did wrong but who cares! I can now use my printer. Many thanks again.

I am also having a problem with the R200 printer. When I print a document from MS Word the watermarked image in the back ground of my document shows in the quick preview window of the print dialog, and prints with a green cast. When selecting Print Preview from the file menu everything looks normal.

I tried going and adding the printer by selecting more pinters & epson USB as discussed earlier but it did not fix my problem. I took the document file over to windows and it printed fine.

I looked on the epson website for new drivers, but the only driver I found for OS X 10.4.X was listed under the R200 but said it was for All in Ones. I am running 10.4.2.

Thank You,
Matt

I have determined that, in my situation, the green color cast is introduced when I ctrl+click the image in my MS Word document & Select: Format Picture > Picture > Image Control > Color > Watermark. When I set the color option to automatic, black and white, or grayscale everything previews and prints fine. Anyone have an idea why the watermark option would be introducing the green cast?

Thank You,
Matt

Yes, I have the same problem with tinted watermarks in Word! A document that used to print color watermarks correctly now turns all the watermarks cyan. At first I thought the printer had run out of ink, but other docs (without watermarks) print fine. I also noticed that when I turn off the watermark option on the image in Word, the image prints correctly.

Here's my setup:
OSX 10.4.2
Word 11.2 (050714)
Xerox Phaser 8200DP color printer

Everything is patched with the latest available patches. I haven't tried to print this document in a few months (and I had Panther the last time I printed it), so I can't pinpoint which software update caused the problem. Could have been Office 2004 SP2, or something related to Tiger.

The document looks OK on the screen (and from Word's print preview) until you actually try and print--then the quick preview window in the Print dialog box shows the watermarks have turned cyan and they print that way as well.
