Hi Gang: Well, some good news and some not so good news:
1) I can print from my MacBook Pro w/Retina. I tested 8.5 x 11 and 13 x 19 paper size and various templates including the custom package template. No problem. 2) In completing my test above, I exported my 2013 PAW collection as a catalogue to an external drive, then hooked that external drive up to the MacBook Pro, imported, then printed using a custom package template on 13 x 19 inch paper. No problems. 3) From the iMac desktop, I was able to print from Previews and Photoshop Elements 11, though because I never print from Elements, I had to learn by trial and error how to choose the settings I wanted. Ugh, much prefer printing from Lightroom, but I suppose with more practice, I’ll get the hang of printing from Elements. 4) I did call Epson and explained the situation, and the guy said if it’s printing in other applications and on a different computer, then the chances are strong something is wrong with the copy of Lightroom 5 that I downloaded. Seems logical and is what Godfrey suggested. 5) Of course, this means I have to contemplate uninstalling Lightroom 5 on my iMac and then reinstalling Lightroom 5 on my iMac, and *that* thought terrifies me!!! However . . . 6) This might be a good time to address an issue I’ve been avoiding: general photo housekeeping and a possible rethink about my photo management, which isn’t so good. Anyway . . . 7) Before I uninstall Lightroom 5 on my iMac—which is just dragging the app icon to the trash, right?—does any one have any thoughts or recommendations? I have just backed up my catalogues, which are only a few. I’d like to call Adobe and tell them I’m going to do this so there’s no problem with a redownload. I have really fast internet now—55 mbs, so I’m not worried about download. 8) I’m not going to do this today or tomorrow obviously, but I will have to address this within the week. I can’t print now anyway because I’m out of some ink cartridges—of course! So if you have any thoughts or advice, I’d be grateful.
