Epson Stylus Photo R320 printing problems

[wangchunggti337]

I have an Epson Stylus Photo R320 printer, which I am attempting to print on from iPhoto. In contrast to other printers I've used this one has weird settings for page sizes. Under 'Print' in iPhoto, when choosing the paper size there is no '4x6' or '5x7'. Instead there are numbers like w376h675 (numbers I made up), which I'm guessing is height and width.

All I want to do is print some 4x6 and 5x7 photos but cannot find the right setting.

Thanks

Epson Stylus Photo R320 - Updated Driver for Intel OS X

I too had this problem. Drivers are the answer. The default Tiger (OSX 10.4) drivers for Epson R300 (Gimp Print 5.0.0 beta2) have the weird page sizes.

Epson Website

When you download Epson's Tiger driver (Printer Driver v3.0aAs) the correct US paper sizes will be available.

Once you run the downloaded file be sure to restart your computer. Otherwise the new updated drivers will not be visible in the Printer Setup Utility.

Now if I could just get the colors correct on the print.

Epson Stylus Photo R320

Dogboysam,
Have you tried this lately? I purchased my intel based iMac in May. I'm a recent microsoft convert, so I'm feeling my way in iMac. I downloaded this new driver from the very start, but didn't know about the photo printing problems until last week. I've downloaded epson11847.dmg and the weird paper sizes are there. In print utility the driver is still listed as (Gimp Print 5.0.0 beta2)

I don't have an intel mac, so maybe this has changed...

In order to use the Epson-provided drivers instead of the Gimp-Print ones, you must click More Printers, then select EPSON USB as the comm protocol. Then Print Using: All, to get the Borderless as well as regular driver to Add in. (EPSON USB has been required in all versions of OS X, so I don't think it's changed)

HTH

R320 Printing Problems

I've looked for this, it's not there.

If, after clicking Add/+, then the browser window comes up, then you click More Printers, then in the pull-down menus you don't see Epson USB (Windows Printing is in the same pull-down, for example), Then you have an OS X system software problem, and I'm guessing the best way to fix it is to reinstall OS X using the Archive & Install option in the installer.

Epson USB is the standard comm protocol used by most Epson drivers, so it shows up without installing any new drivers - to me this indicates your original OS X installation was defective.

This did the trick for me. Just use your printer model instead of the rx580
