new iMac

Post by Bruce Wutzke »

I made the move to a Mac intel, after many years of PC. Does anyone know of a card reader that will work with the new Mac? I bought one after being assured it was compatible.... it was not.
Also, I don't have the 'Print CD' capabilities for my Epson printer now. Any advice for these two problems?
Thanks, Bruce

there are problems with the Epsom drivers, go here and download Epsom Print CD, it at the bottom of the page,
It's a Russian site but It should fix the problem..

Thanks John,
That got me the program just fine. Now when I try to print a CD, it says the Epson driver for Print CD is not installed. I went to the Epson site and down loaded the driver for my printer thinking it would update it, but still no go when I try to print. The printer prints on everything but Print CD.

Bruce, you may have to remove all the Epsom drivers first before installing the new ones.

I uninstalled the printer and then loaded the new drivers from the Epson web site. It still pushes the CD tray back at me. It wants me to close the CD door so it can print on regular paper.

  • # Go to File -> Print, and set these options:

    * Printer: Stylus Photo R200
    * In the drop-down menu below Presets:
    o Choose Print Settings
    o Set Media Type to CD/DVD
    o Set Mode to Automatic (make sure under the Advanced settings that all of the following are un-checked (not selected): Super MicroWeave (should be off), High Speed (should be off), Mirror image (should be off)

Got it john! It printed a label I made up. It will not open a file of a CD that brought over from my PC. I assume I have to redo them from scratch on the Mac.
No problem if that's the case. I am just glad to be printing again.
Thanks John for your help.
