Hi Durr,I just got my new iMac and it has Snow Leopard. I have been using an Epson 2200 and happy with it, BUT it appears Epson is not helping out the 2200 owners with the Mac problems. Which Epson printer would you get now that will work with my iMac? 3800, 3880 or what? thanks
I do all my printing with Lightroom and the R2400. I have tested Epson's drivers extensively on Snow Leopard and get results identical to what I get with Leopard. Not so with Photoshop CS4. That leads me to believe the difficulties I hear reported are in Photoshop, not the Epson drivers or Snow Leopard.I just got my new iMac and it has Snow Leopard.

Perhaps there's a configuration of which I am not aware (quite possible), but I am only aware of the imagePROGRAF iPF9000s (8-ink) and the current iPF9100 (12-ink), which both use Lucia pigment inks.I thought the Canon 9000 had a choice of dye or pigment ink?
I'm with you ... so much silly "blaming" around the net.It appears to be a "combination problem" if you will, in that Apple made choices, Adobe made choices, and Epson did as well. It's true that the problem is apparently confined to CS4, but Canon effectively wrote their drivers and plug-in to properly hand-off the file so that printing controls are as expected. Epson has not yet done so. Some like to blame Apple, others blame Epson, but in the end the blame is of little interest to users.
The bright side is that the community, together with certain key players, work to provide solutions/workarounds while the big dogs deal with the fix.
Sorry the the confusion....it's the Pixma Pro9000 I was interesed in for dye ink printing. I'm not as familiar with the full Canon (especially Pro line) as I should be. Sounds like the iPF printers are the equivalent of Epson's pro line, while the higher end Pixma printers are more like Epson's 1900/2880 etc.There are the Pixma Pro9000 and Pro9500, the former being dye-based, the latter is pigment-based. Both are 13x19" printers.
