Help please
I have been using a Epson R2400 for some time.
I have always printed from lightroom with no issues.
Recently when trying to print it would not load the paper and it kept saying media not available or not loaded correctly.
I was beginning to think it was the printer but I tried to print from photoshop and it prints fine.
I really want to print from lightroom it is so much easier than P-Shop.
Any ideas??

Cheers

Double check your settings in the printer setup dialog in the Lightroom Print Module. Sorry, I can't direct you to the exact button to click right now because I don't have LR on this laptop -- but I've had a similar problem occasionally and it always turned out that I had something selected incorrectly in the printer setup dialog. For me it is usually that I'm printing 4x6 but have the 8.5x11 paper tray selected or something like that.

And how it got selected wrong I don't know, because I almost always use the same preset for printing.

Thanks I double checked everything and I had the paper set to matt paper instead of glossy. Man I did not think the printer would be able to tell that before it even printed it.

It seems to be working now.
Cheers Rimmer.
That was a great TV series by the way.

:D Glad to help! We're working our way through Red Dwarf again on Netflix. Just got to the part where Arnold leaves and Kochanski comes back on board...

Matte and glossy paper need different black inks: PK vs. MK. The printer can sense what ink cartridge is installed…

Did you change papers recently? Epson is NOTORIOUS for doing this with many papers that aren't Epson.

I've had my R2880 **** and moan when I wanted to quickly print some text on plain paper, with a PK cartridge installed.
IMO, warning is okay, but preventing me to print isn't. So Epson screwed up on this. ;)

Same if I want to print some text in grayscale and I'm out of yellow ink: I can't print. Why? :rolleyes:
