After all this fuss... I went to the epson page and downloaded driver version 6.57 released in June 2009. page image: http://homepage.mac.com/godders/epsonR2400driver657.jpg page url: <http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid=54861&prodoid=53540920&infoType=Downloads&platform=Macintosh> or http://tinyurl.com/2t38ka (although I'm not certain that will get you there directly). I installed it on the MacBook system that I have booting off my Snow Leopard test system. I also installed all the Epson premium profiles for Fine Art, Matte, Glossy and Canvas paper sets, optimized for the Epson R2400. I then started up Lightroom v2.5, imported three finished-work files off my data CD, and went to the Print module. Selecting "Page Setup..." netted the usual Epson R2400 print queue, selected US Letter paper, vertical orientation, manual rear feed. Then clicked the Print Settings button. The initial view of the Print Dialog was collapsed, so I clicked the disclosure button to the right of the Printer: name. There were all the printing controls, virtually identical to what they were on Leopard. I configured it for Velvet Fine Art, Best Quality printing with no Color Management. In LR's Print Job panel, I added the Velvet Fine Art profiles, then selected the optimized "best quality" one. Loaded the printer and clicked "Print One". A perfect print. I did the same usual printing with Pixelmator (I don't have Photoshop installed on the test system yet). It printed exactly as it always does. So: The Epson driver released for the R2400 v6.57 works just fine in Snow Leopard. Much ado about nothing at all. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
