Hmm. I would have to agree that Epson support has not been terribly
useful.
- What version of Mac OS X are you running?
- What version of the Epson 1290 driver are you running?
I still have my 1270 (it's the only printer I have that does a
reliable job of printing envelopes!) I found that the latest download
from Epson for this printer would overwrite the more recent version
of its driver and profiles that was supplied with Mac OX X v10.4.
It's not impossible that the same thing applies for the Epson 1280
and 1290 models. Did you test the printer before you installed the
Epson software included with it? You might have inadvertently
overwritten the most current printer driver and profiles.

Maybe someone here can help. The problem: I've replaced my 1270 with a
1290, installed the Epson driver for the 1290, all other settings
unchanged. Now, when I print from PS - as I've done for years with my
1200 and 1270 - with the correct paper profile selected and the
automatic colour correction in the printer driver disabled my prints
come out way too dark.
I already suspected a hardware or ink problem. But everything works OK
(well, within its limitations) if I print without a profile and
have the
automatic printer colour correction enabled.
Any suggestions?
