Hi gang,
I could really use your help. I have always printed from Photoshop to my Epson 2200 without ANY test prints and my printer has ALWAYS matched my monitor perfectly. I rarely have had to do a second print. NOW, I loaded Snow Leopard and I'm screwed. Everything is coming out dark and muddy. Jimmy Wildeman gave me one fix that worked on one print and not on another. I've googled and googled, but I thought I would ask you lovely humans and see if anyone else has dealt with this. Yes, I have downloaded the most current driver, no, I am not going to go back to Leopard. Thanks in advance for any help! And yes, of course this about people asking for prints for xmas gifts and I said, "no problem!" :)

Had similar problems I believe one issue is you have to remove the old drivers manually- turn them off in the print driver application then you reload the new driver after. Also I got a color munki and made profiles. A lot of work but worth it

thanks, Jamie. That sounds a lot harder than "just push this button." :(
If you get your order into White House Custom Color by 11am, it is on your doorstep the next day.
also, if the order is more than 12 bucks, shipping is free.
Thanks, Greg, that might be the way to go.
Removing the old drivers in the printer utility is very easy just click on them and delete and then re-add them. I don't know if that will solve your problem or not but it's worth a try. By the way I have a crap load of 2200 cartridges that are yours for the asking.
Jim is right you just have to find the right dialog boxes in the printer utility. I still had a hard time with weird color till I profiled it though. It all happened after snow leopard. Printer glitches galore!
If John doesn't want your 2200 carts jim I'll take them!
One thing that I do, is use an old computer as a print server. I am actually using a G4 and PS 3 for printing.
The reason is that I know exactly what I am going to get with that combination and whatever speed issues I have don't amount to much since I just use it for printing. I also know that SWAP will be getting some G4's and G5's soon. PS 5 will not run on either of these boxes. Just sayin'.
