Subject: [colorvision_group] Problem printing target - media setting

>>Trying to print a High Quality Target (225 patches on one sheet) for 
my Epson
3800.  I do my
Page Setup and then go to Print Target and select Print Settings from 
the pull
down menu
then go to media type.  When I select Premium Semigloss Photo Paper a 
window
pops up and
tells me to select a file to delete from the popup below, click 
finished when
you are done
deleting files.

Using PrintFix Pro v2.0, Mac w/OSX 10.4

I have printed targets and profiled my Epson 4000 and 7600 and have had 
no
problems with
any media settings.


Yes, this is a known bug with... not exactly our software, but one of 
the tools we use building our software. It shows up only with a few of 
the newest pro Epson drivers on the Mac. Until we are given a fix for 
this, the work around is easy enough:

Go to Photoshop, trigger the print dialog, and configure your printer 
settings as desired. Save these as a driver set, and name 
appropriately. Now select that set from PrintFIX PRO for printing, 
instead of attempting to change the advanced driver settings directly 
 from there. Since most people only use a few papers, and at consistant 
settings, this isn't much of a problem, unless you are trying to test a 
series of media settings one after another to determine the optimal one 
for a given paper. We've only had a couple reports of this issue 
occurring, so there are probably other factors involved in triggering 
it.
