p.1 #1 · Lightroom Print problems...color is way off
I have had issues with printing in Lr but never really cared since I used Zoombrowser to print most of my stuff for "around the house" and everything always looked fine (even if I modified the image in LR and printed from Zoombrowser). The colors coming from printing in Lr were always way off when using my Pixma IP4300.
I just purchased a Epson 3800 and now I would like to start using Lr for printing. I have tried everything I know and the colors are still way off when printed from Lr. I selected the appropriate color profile in LR for the printer and paper type, I turned off ICC color in the printer setup menu and the color is still off. If I save the Lr photo and print from Zoombrowser then it looks perfectly fine (still turning off ICC).
Now that I have a nice printer I'd love to be able to print right from Lr as it would save me alot of time and significantly increase my options.

I would suspect that though you are turning off color management in the printer the printer isn't recognizing it and is applying double color management (i.e. a printer driver problem). You might want to check the Epson site or updated drivers.

I'm not sure how Epson's work, but on my Canon Pro9000 there are actually TWO separate menus for turning off Color "management" (ICC) AND color "matching."
Both had to be turned off in order for me to be in complete control of the print process, and after I figured that out my prints have been superb.

This is still not working.
I am using Lr 2.2 64bit, Vista Ultimate 64, Epson 3800 Pro (6.5 drivers), Premium Lustre Photo Paper.
Here is what I am doing.
1) When in Lr and ready to print I select the Lr profile as "Pro38 PLPP" which is the 3800 Paper profile that is in the list of available profiles for Lr.
2) I select Relative (perceptual didn't appear to change anything)
3) I click "print" then I am taken to the 3800 selection menu.
4) I click properties next to the selected printer, I leave everything alone except for "mode"...I chaneg it from Auto to Custom and then select No color adjustment. Everything else appears fine...the paper type is correct etc. But when print the photo the reds come out pinkish etc etc. All of the colors are pretty far off.
I reinstalled the 64bit drivers from epson and nothing changed.

Something is not working correctly to give you that cast. When you go in to the printer set up, even after you have gone in to custom and no color adjustment, make sure to also enter the paper profile, size, quality, etc. and see what happens.

None of this is working ;(
But it works fine when I try to print the exact same file from Zoombrowser.
Is there someone I can call about this who won't point the finger at someone else? If I call Lr then they will likely say it's a driver issue or a problem with the printer when that is not the case.
How can I tell Lr to run in 32bit mode? I heard that someone fixed their a similar problem by doing that.
