I've got a new Mac Pro computer here, and am trying to get the drivers for the Epson 4800 working, but I don't think they are, and I'm at a loss to figure out what is happening... I'm hoping that someone has some experience with the problem, and can tell me whether there is a solution or not.
I installed the most current driver (I think, I got it from the Epson site), and it is working in that I can get a print to come out of it from Photoshop CS2. However, there is nowhere in the driver for me to turn off color management, and nowhere to set paper type, DPI settings, bidirectional printing, etc. that I can do with the comparable Windows-based driver. So, how am I supposed to set up a color profile for my paper and printer and not have it double-applying color management?
I think there is something not working properly, because I just can't believe that Epson would write this cobbled of a driver. If I go to the 'system preferences' and to the printer settings, there are no adjustable options for the printer other than setting the sharing. Through Photoshop, I cannot access any windows to set values either (at least not that I've found, and certainly not in a manner consistent with the way it is done in Windows XP).
Can someone tell me what is going on?
Thanks,
