How do I load new paper profiles (Epson Stylus Pro 4800)

[Phil Vanderloo]

I just updated my driver on my printer and some of the paper profiles I use are no longer there. After I download the ones I need, how do I get them to show up in my printer preferences options?
Thank You

Thanks Ruffin but what confuses me is- I have the profile I need in the system- Pro4800 PQIJP_MK. But why doesn't it show up in the media type drop down as it used to with the old driver?
It used to show as "Photo Quality Inkjet Paper" as an option.
Now I can only load it if I choose ICM and choose it in the input profile.
But, does this override what's in the media type drop down? Because I can't load it there.

Yes, choose it in "input Profile". Should you prefer original selection method, re-install original
printer driver. Machine works well with either printer driver. Good luck. Epson Stylus Pro is a great machine.

So is that a confirmation that choosing it in the input profile overrides what's in the media selection?
Thanks

Mr. Vanderloo:
Only the software programmer would know. Can only surmise it would be so.
Seems to me it would be prudent to give it a try. If satisfied, go with it. Perhaps this link will
re-inforce our previous recommendation:

Otherwise, recommend you uninstall and re-install with old driver. The latest driver is not always the greatest
driver (more times than not). You might be better satisfied with the older version.
