Lightroom printing problem Epson R1800, XP SP2, colors dark

[Vickko]

I'm having no success with printing from Lightroom 1.3.1, with a quite new Epson R1800, on an IBM R51 with Windows XP SP2.

Printing is fine, using Epson's Easy Photo Print, and PhotoShop Elements 2.0. In fact, the results with Epson's Easy Photo Print and Elements 2.0 are almost identical.

I played with ICM on, off, downloaded new Epson icc profiles for glossy paper, loaded new cartridges, cleaned nozzles, etc.

And I searched this users forum and the general web. Sounds like printing problems with Lightroom is pretty normal.

Any other clues or hints to solve the problem? Seems pretty stupid that Lightroom can't be used to print.

Hello,

I had similar problems printing within Lightroom and it took me ages to figure out what was causing it. I updated my Epson RX500 print driver and all was well.
