Help with Printing from LRC - Ventura - Missing options to turn off Color Management

  • December 20, 2023

Hello, I'd love any help anybody can provide. Will try to be brief.

 

Printing from LRC. Using papers with custom profiles. However in my print dialogue box, there is no "Printer Options" and therefore no "Printer Settings" and therefore I can't turn off color management in the printer. So I think when I print from LRC it is double profiling. If I use "Managed by Printer" it comes out better, but I'd much prefer to use the proper paper profiles.

 

I'm using Epson ET-8550 printer. I'm including a scree shot of my print diaologe screen, where you can see there is no "Printer Options". Is this a Ventura issue? Any workarounds? Thanks!

    It’s very likely that the Mac is using the generic/AirPrint printer driver for the Epson printer. This driver may not have advanced features like color management options. To resolve this, go to the Epson web site and make sure you download and install the full Epson printer driver for that model that is compatible with macOS 13.

    I got back to printing from Lightroom Classic and Photoshop using my custom paper profiles as I did up to my update to macOS14 Sonoma.

    I removed the print queue by uninstalling my SC-P800 (removing it) and then reinstalling it. All with my iMac and printer on and connected to the internet

    i then downloaded all the drivers available specifically for OS 14 including those with utilities combo package and installed them.

    I now get the old print dialog with the settings where I can turn off color matching (grayed out)  and my prints matching my screen.

      I think you have to get to the "Advanced" controls in the printer's "Driver".   To get there with my printer I have to find the Properties button from the Page Setup button in the Print module.  This video might help:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkrEglgOX8Y

      Thanks. Actually got help from Red River Paper and figured it out. Ventura defaulted to Airprint, which is only obvious when looking at the printer driver number, which was 3. I reinstalled the printer driver and deleted the old profile and no the printer options dialogue shows up.
