Filmmaker V4 and Epson R1900
« on: February 10, 2016, 03:49:06 PM »
I have had V4 for about a month, and use it on my Epson 3000 works fine. I also have an Epson R1900 and cannot get it to print. Looks like everything is setup properly the Port etc. it RIP's the design it shows on the Filmmaker screen but when I right click and go to print. My 1900 starts to load the paper to print, then the trash can light comes on. I can do a test print but will not print through filmmaker. What I read on the net says maybe I need to rest the ink disposal setting. Anyone had this problem.

can you do a test print through FM?

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

No I cannot, When I do attempt to do so it goes through the motions of starting to load (take in) the paper or film in my case and then the trash can light comes on. It never did this when I was using V2 Filmmaker. Starting to wish I stayed with Windows 7 and V2. This Windows 10 and V4 are killing me.

Try deleting the port and the printer, then reinstalling it. I can't think of anything else.
Did you contact Cadlink?

Try setting it to compatibility mode, we had a black a few weeks ago and everything went crazy all programs came back except one and we had to rest compatibility mode and it started working fine then, I started to go to 10 but scared of all the problems we might have and I just don't have time to battle that.
Life is like Kool-Aid, gotta add sugar/hardwork to make it sweet!!
