HT3669 Hi! I just bought an old printer, an Epson stylus color 740 and my computer doesn't detect a driver to install it.

I tried with download.com and the drivers seem corrupted. And this model is listed on the apple website. Where can I find a reliable place to download this? I have a macbook pro.
Thanks a lot everybody!!

Well. Peter Bannon is correct in that you can download the Epson drivers (although they're 1.05 GB in size). My previous suggestion was meant to just get the small portion of that 1.05 GB file that you need.
The "try later" usually means that Apple's update servers are temporarily down, and that often gets corrected within a few minutes.
Restarting can never hurt.
Unfortunately, I think that you do need a specific driver for the Epson 740. I don't think you can use a "generic USB driver" (as you _can_ for many network printers).

  • Trying to print via wifi to epson stylus color 740 but can't

    Hi all,
    I am trying to set up my just purchased PowerBook g4 to print via airport wifi to an epson stylus color 740. I have been printing to this printer from my old laptop without any problems but I forgot how I set it up. It had something to do with lpt1 protocols. Is that IP address setup? I am now trying to set it up through OS X 10.5.4 and the other laptop has OS X 10.3.9. The dialog box is a little different and gives me many options for connecting. Which one do I use? The printer is hard wired to my SMC router which is connected to my g4 tower.
    I got as far as trying to print to the printer but it would say it was sending then says the printer is paused when it isn't.
    On my Titanium g4 the settings are:
    printer name: lpt1on192.168.2.1 on 192.168.2.1
    location: unknown
    queue name: lpt1on_192.168.2.1_on192.168.2.1-1@g4tower
    host name:g4tower.local
    These settings are working not only for the Titanium g4 but for 2 other IBooks in the house. I just don't know where to put the settings in Leopard.
    Thanks for any help,
    Model Name: PowerBook G4 15"

    Generally, there are two issues.  First, you must know which paper to select, and second you must specify a feed-method that allows the paper you want to be in the list.
    Second thing first, as it's more tricky.
    The paper selection in the "Media Type" drop-down of the Epson 3880 Print dialog (the second print dialog presented when printing from Aperture) is limited by the selection you make for "Paper Size" in the Printer section of the Aperture "Print" dialog.  To get "Fine Art" papers to show (and be selectable) in the Media Type drop-down, you must specify a Paper Size that allows those papers.  Anything marked "Manual" should suffice.
    An example will be helpful  .  I print most of my work on Epson's Hot Pressed paper, which I purchase in boxes of sheets.  If I am printing to 8 ½ x 11 inch sheets, I do the following:
    In Aperture, in the Printer section of the Print dialog, I select "US Letter (Manual - Rear)":
    (This is the key.  Selecting "US Letter" will not allow me to specify the paper I want.)
    When I click the button "Print", another Print dialog opens.  This one is specific to the printer (in this case, the Epson 3880).  In that dialog, I specify for "Media Type" on the "Basic" tab of the "Printer Settings" tab of the "Print" dialog "Hot Press Bright":
    This shows in the drop-down menu, along with other papers which must be fed manually:
    I hope that helps.  Non-Epson papers should come with instructions telling you the paper to select.  For instance, I also print to Hahnemühle Harman low-gloss papers.  These specify that I select "Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster", which I do:
    In the above dialogs, you can see that I have created printer presets for the papers I regularly use.
    —Kirby.

    Try Reset Printing System, a menu choice in Printer Setup Utility.

    Question:How do I connect my MacBook Air so my Epson Stylus Color 740i Ink Jet Printer will print?

    First, the Epson Stylus Color 740 (which I assume is your printer) is listed in this article, which is good news:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
    So Apple can provide its driver software.

  • Just bought a new printer and download the software

    Hi,
    I just bought a new printer and I need to be able to print all of my homework assignments off but i tried to come to the website on several occassions, the site is always down. So what do I need to do next? Do I call someone about the problem or do I just take the printer back and buy another one from another company. And I do not have a CD drive for my small laptop.

    Hi,
    What is your printer and the Operating system of your small laptop ?
    Regards.

    Quite right, but as the OP does not have component or composite connections not important.
    To the OP, this does work, but is not the cheapest, and as it appears that Apple no longer sell an SVideo adaptor cable 3rd party it will have to be.

    This what I have been trying......  Maybe my eyes are screwed up or don't understand the process....
    What I have been trying to do is squint and make the apple disappear by moving the sliders around in each step. Is that correct?

  • I just bought an hp6500a printer and my ipad2 won't print. It says it can't find a printer. Does anyone know how to get it to print?

    I need help to print. I just bought an hp6500a printer and my iPad 2 says it can't find a printer. My iMac pro is printing to it wirelessly.  Help!

    Just up late weighing in on this question.
    I have a HP6500a.  I called for help in setting up the "Air Print" facility from HP itself.  1 800 474 6836  They were great.  Its complex but they have a special "Air Print" division.  Ask the representative who comes on to be transferred there right away.  (Unfortunately I have three conflicting computers on the same Air Print system, so I've been there a few times until everything got sorted out).  I thought HP told me to install an HP Air print App on my home screen but right now I can't find it .  Guess I got too many Apps!  (Oh right there is a search function, but I just tried HP or Air Print and came up empty!).
    Good Luck...sorry I don't remember the exact details of setting my unit up, but it does depend upon what ISP you have.

  • Hi, I just bought an old Macintosh LC. Monitor flashes/ticks upon boot and it eventually chimes, restarts then chimes again then boots up. Any ideas what this might be?

    Hi, I just bought an old Macintosh LC. Monitor flashes/ticks upon boot and it eventually chimes, restarts then chimes again then boots up. Any ideas what this might be?

    Any Mac older than 4 years may need a new PRAM battery.     Though a loose video connector could cause the problem, since those are thumbscrews that can get damaged on the back of the machine.  The LC was the first Mac I actually owned!

    Assuming your MBP is a recent model, i.e. bought in the last couple of years, and that your TV has HDMI inputs (if you've bought it new then that's a safe assumption) then you need a mini-displayport to HDMI cable.  The Apple Store sell one:
