Cannot print to Epson photo r2400 w/airport

I have a macbook pro and cannot print to an r2400. The priinter workds with my g4 powerbook and prior to an airport firmware update. I get a looking for printer message for several minutes and then I get a message that says: " Communication error" at times it gives you code" (-70012)" The printer does work when directl connected to the printer
Help

I'm so embarrassed. The reason I was having trouble printing is because I did not install the latest print driver from Epson for Mountain Lion 10.8.1. I thought of this in the shower and tried it and now everything is fine.
I hope I didn't send anybody on a wild goose chase.

Epson Photo R2400 printing problems

I'm new to Mac, and I'm having problems printing from Photoshop CS2 for Mac to a brand new Epson Photo R2400 printer attached to my MacPro via the front panel firewire connection. The problem seems to occur with larger files (91mbyte or greater). The printing is interrupted my a "Printer Communication Error" which gives me no other choice but to shut down the print job, which results in my expensive, partially printed photo being ejected from the printer...this is getting expensive, folks...anybody with a solution to this problem? BTW, I downloaded the latest drivers for Mac from the Epson website and installed them, so I don't think it's a driver issue.
Thanks

Wow. I haven't seen that one. I have a 2200 on FireWire on my Mac Pro. But the biggest file I remember printing was 71MB.
Are you by any chance using custom paper sizes? I had a communications problem when I set up a custom paper size that didn't use the printer's margins, a problem I found through Google.
You may also want to inquire on the forums of some high-end printer websites. Here is one forum:

Trouble Printing with a Epson Photo R2400

So, this printer does weird things. It prints fine from regular apps like safari, MS Word or even PhtoShop. However, if you try to print a photo from iphoto it it will send a print job to the printer and then suddenly stop. So far I have done the following:
1) Removed the printer completely and reinstalled it
2) Downloaded the newest drivers from epson and installed them
3) Deleted all user prefs related to iphoto and printing and printing services
4) Ran disk warrior to see if any file system corruption was causing it
5) Installed customer color profiles from that printer that epson released.
6) Tried a new user account all together

I'm trying to print from Aperture 1.5 using a Epson R2400 on a Macbook Pro. Also using the Intel driver. In the printer settings the print settings and color management are crossed out. Anyone else with this problem? Any solutions?
Thanks

Hi
1. Click on the Apple logo at the top left corner of the screen and select System Preferences.
2. Click on Printers and Scanners pane.
3. You need to highlight your printer on the left hand side and remove it from the list by clicking on little "-" button
4. Click on little "+" button and add it back.
You may also try to reset printer settings

Unable to print to Epson SP 3800 via Airport in 10.5.6

I have my Epson Stylus Pro 3800 connected to the USB port on an Airport Express and have been using it without problems for more than 1 year. I just tried to print a photo and it no longer works. The printer queue opened, the job appeared to be printing, then was removed from the queue as if it was done, but the printer never did anything. I haven't tried printing to the printer for a while so the last time I printed I may have had 10.5.5 or even 10.5.4.
I did a search online and found very few posts with similar problems. One, on the Luminous Landscape forums, seemed identical to mine and can be seen here:
http://luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=28141&st=20&p=228888&#en try228888
As a test, I removed all my printers from the Print Fax Preference Pane, reset the printing system then downloaded and installed the latest Epson printer driver. I then re-added the printer twice—first while the printer was connected via USB directly to the computer, then while the printer was connected to the Airport. The interesting thing is that each printer shows a different print options dialog even though they both show they are using the same driver.
If I connect via USB directly, I get the normal Epson print options including all the sections: Printer Settings, Advanced Media Control, and Page Layout Settings. If I connect to the printer through the Airport instead I get a section called "Printer Features" which has a much more limited set of options that don't look like the standard Epson printer driver options:
EPIJProfileSpec (you can choose a value from 0-13)
Color Model - choices are:
- Color
- Black & White
- Advanced Black & White
- RGB16
Media Type (choice for usual paper types)
Resolution (two options: 360x360 and 720x720)
There are no selections for things such as High Speed, Finest Detail, AccuPhoto HD, etc. A picture of this more limited print dialog can be seen here:
http://luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=8872
Attempting to print using the Airport-connected setting causes the same behavior where the print queue appears, the job looks like it prints, but nothing happens.
I cannot leave the printer connected to the computer directly because the printer is too big and needs to be in a different location so that is not an option. I need to figure out how to get the Airport-connected option to work again. Any ideas?

After trying for weeks, I finally came up with a very simple workaround that allows me to print to the Stylus Pro 3800 wirelessly again. I don't know why I didn't try this before. All I did was change the way I connect the printer to the Airport Extreme Base Station from using USB to Ethernet. In the printer's front panel "Network Setup" menu I made sure that the Bonjour option was enabled.
After this, it was just a simple matter of adding the printer again from the Print Fax preference pane and everything worked!
So, if anyone else is having a similar problem, try using the Ethernet port on your printer instead of the USB one.
Cheers

Cannot print to Epson 1280 AEBS

Help!
I cannot seem to print to my Epson 1280 through my Extreme Base-station (firmware 5.7). The print center sees the printer via rendezvous, I can add the printer successfully, but whenever I print, it times out on "Looking for Epson 1280" and returns the error "could not communicate with the printer".
I have tried resetting the base-station and printer.
It does not work from either my ibook g4 or powermac g4 (both run 10.4.5 but the powermac has a standard airport card).
Any thoughts?

Cannot print iwth new MacBook Pro on Airport Express

I have a MacBook Pro, running printing through the Airport Express on a Samsung ML-1750 and in order to use the airport, I have to turn it off, then on and then i can print wirelessly. aftering printing one document, i must turn off airport and then print again. There was never a problem with any of my previous Macintosh laptops in the ten years I have used them with Airport.
I have lost a day of my life on this problem and would really appreciate help with this.
thanks

I have struggled for weeks with this problem, even trying other printer drivers. Now suddenly, out of nowhere, the printer works! And I have only repeatedly installed other drivers to include the gimp print. Why it works, for how it will work--I cannot say.
Why is this?
Oh, maybe I shouldn't ask.
Cheers.

Help!! Cannot print to Epson 4900 using PS-CS4 on Mac 10.8.4?

My new MacBookPro using Photoshop CS4 prints just fine to my Epson 2400 and 1900 however when using my new 4900 I click "print" and the printer icon bounces once in the dock and then disappears. The printer then gyrates and makes noise but puts out no image. I can print documents and images from Preview and Pages and the web on the 4900 so I know the printer can print. I have reloaded CS4 several times from my disc and the Epson driver several times to no avail. The Epson tech guy says what appears obvious, that the printer is working fine but that PS cannot communicate with the 4900. Has any one had this experience and were you able to solve the problem?

You're having a problem with the printer driver.
Deleting and reinstalling the printer in the OS controls may help.
Otherwise you need to contact Epson.
Photoshop does not communicate with the printer, ever.
The driver code communicate with the printer.
Photoshop communicates with the OS, and the OS communicates with the driver.
And you're having a problem with the driver.

Printer ICM Epson Photo Stylus 2200

New computer with Window 8 64 bit. Installed Epson Stylus Photo 2200 printer. Download windows 8 driver update epson15163.exe with stylus driver v5.93. After setting Photoshop manages color for printing, subsequently in advanced tab, highlighting ICM causes error message:" Printer driver host for application has stopped working." Any resolution available? Can only print image by allowing printer to manage color.

I think I found a work around. I am also having this problem. I went to Control Panel > View Devices and Printers > Select the Epson 2200 Printer Properties *NOT PREFERENCES* (right click will get you a menu to select this) > Advanced > Printing Defaults > click ICM > click No Color Adjustment > select the other details for the print job > click Save Setting > give the setting a name and click save > NOW, go to the print settings from printing out of photoshop and apply the saved setting you just created and it should change to have both "ICM" and "No Color Adjustment" clicked.
I've been looking every where for a fix, explaination or work around to this and I haven't found anything. I think this is a Windows 8 64-bit problem...but it could just be us, too. Let me know if this worked for you!
I'm working with WIndows 8 64-bit, running Adobe Photoshop CS2.

Cannot print on Epson Workforce 845

Running 10.7.5 on MacBook. Home network is Airport Extreme. Printer working just fine until today and now for no apparent reason doesn't print from the Mac. It will print from my iPhone and iPad so the issue isn't the network or the printer.
I have rebooted everything there is to reboot, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Epson drivers, I have tried using the network, I have tried using the USB cable. It still scans using ImageCapture just fine. It also recognizes the printer, can tell ink levels etc etc etc
After the above is on the screen for ages this error message will eventually show up
Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS/r astertoescpII failed
I am having to save documents to dropbox, download from dropbox to my iPhone and print from my iPhone. Help!!
Thanks in advance for any and all efforts.

Try deleting the print queue ...
Open System Preferences > Print & Scan > Print
Click: Open Print Queue
Delete all jobs
Restart your Mac, turn off the printer, then turn it back on.
If that didn't help, delete the printer in the System Preferences > Print window by clicking - (minus)
Then go to the Epson site and download fresh drivers for the Epson Workforce845
Then back to System Preferences > Print. Click + to add the printer again.
Beyond that, try the manual > Epson WorkForce 845, Documents & Manuals - Technical Support - Epson America, Inc.

Trouble printing to Epson Workforce 435 via airport express network

We have an Epson Workforce 435 printer that connects wirelessly to our home network via Airport Express. After we switched to AT&T, we could no longer print from our Windows 7 PC connected to the network via Airport as well. Our Macbook air works just fine. The printer's network status sheet says it is connected, but it's like our computer can't find it on the network. Can't ping the printer's IP address either.

Okay, I have checked the settings on the AX - it is set up to be 802.11b/g compatible, so that doesn't appear to be the problem.
I had a friend come over with her macbook - she was able to detect the wireless network, but wasn't able to connect to it, even when I gave her the password. Does this help diagnose the problem?
Here is additional information about how the AX is currently configured:
In the Airport tab in AirPort Utility:
Wireless Mode: Create a wireless network
Radio Mode: 802.11b (802.11b/g compatible)
Channel: 1
Wireless security: WEP
MAC Address Access Control: Not Enabled
In the Internet tab in Airport Utility:
Connect using: Ethernet
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
Ethernet WAN port: Automatic
Connection sharing: Off (Bridge mode)
I have tried turning wireless security off, but that didn't help the problem. I have also tried turning MAC Address Access Control to Timed Access, inputted the MAC address of the printer, and gave it permission to access the network all day, everyday, but this didn't work either. I have looked at changing the connection sharing settings, but I don't really understand what I'm doing here, so I am reluctant to mess with things much. This seems like the most promising potential solution?
Thanks!

Cannot Print to 5x7 Photo Paper with iPhoto

I just bought my first iMac and hooked it up to my Epson 730 Artison printer, which is designed to work with Apple products. Whenever I print a photo it always prints to the 8.5x11 inch paper instead of the photo paper, which is located above the 8.5x11 inch paper. This happens even when I select the 5x7 inch paper size and select glossy photo paper in iPhoto. In fact, it does not matter what combination of options I select from iPhoto in terms of the print options, it just prints it to 8.5x11 no matter what.
Is there some way to make iPhoto print to the size of paper that I choose with Epson products? There are two sizes of paper which can be loaded in the tray at the same time, in case you haven't seen one.
(Tearing hair out after an entire evening wasted trying to print one 5x7 glossy photo.)
Thank you very much.

Cannot print on 4x8 photo card

I am trying to make and invitation on 4x8 photo paper.When I try to print my finished product my printer (HP7520 photoprinter) keeps telling me it is the wrong size paper.I cannot find this size in the drop down menu.
Can anyone help me with this issue.Thanks,Nabs2

Welcome to the HP Community Forum. You may be able to do this on your Photosmart 7520 -- if the printer is new enough. In particular, under your printer's Support How-To Pages, the following document appears to suggest that the Photosmart 7520 does now support the creation of Custom Paper sizes (printers manufactured as of 2013). HP Printers - Printing and Changing Print Settings (Windows) ============================================================= See the following:Printing Preferences Assuming the printer is willing (able) to support a "custom form", it is easy to set up. The following section provides some how-to and examples to get you started.

Adobe Photoshop (CS6) on Mac. Cannot print to Epson WF-3520. Photoshop quits when you hit okay to print. Latest software has been downloaded. Running OS X Yosemite (v 10.10.1) on iMac.

Basically - what I have written in the title - has anyone else come across this problem with the Epson/Photoshop. Contacted Epson a while ago but they said to contact Adobe. Any ideas or know of a plug-in that is required to solve the problem - sincerely appreciated. Many thanks,

Here are a few things to look at. Try each step until your Epson printer works
Be sure you are updated to 13.0.6 Help > Updates
Another is to uninstall/reinstall the drivers from an administrator account to be sure proper permissions are set.
Reset prefs: Quit Photoshop, Hold down cmd-opt-shift, and start Photoshop. You will see a "delete settings" dialog. Agree and see if that fixes it.
Others have had success by selecting another printer and then going back to the Epson.
