After upgrading to 10.3.9, Epson R340 printer won't install

I was happily using both an Epson C84 and an Epson R340 printer on my old red iMAC on OS 10.2.X. I upgraded to OS10.3.9. The C84 prints properly. The R340 doesn't. When I tried making a photo, I got a "Communication Error" message and found that the Printer was not in the Printer List. I reinstalled the printer driver, both from the latest downloadable version, and from the CD that came with the computer. After getting the "Searching for drivers" message, when the tool bar is set to Epson USB nothing appears. When the tool bar is set to USB, I get a message that the R340 driver is not installed. Curiously, the Epson Printer Utility recognizes the R340 and will perform a nozzle check and print out the sample.
I have tried uninstalling the driver first, have repaired permissions and the hardrive, rebooted a million times, swapping the USB cords between the C84 and the R340, all to no avail. Any suggestions. Many thanks!!

I would navigate to Mac OS X disk/Library/Printers/EPSON/ and trash the driver(s) that are there for the R340. Disconnect the R340 from the computer and then download and install only the driver from the EPSON site since the one on the CD might be obsolete. Repair Disk Permissions and restart the computer. Attach the R340 and see if Printer Setup Utility sees it.

Epson 635 printer won't install via wireless with Mountain Lion

I am helping a friend with the upgrade to Mountain Lion and She has a giant desktop which I think is a MacPro but I'm not sure. Anyway everything works fine except now her Epson 635 printer won't see the wireless network. To me this seems like a router problem but all other computers see the network via the router. Also, this only happened with this upgrade. We've uninstalled and reinstalled the printer, drivers, etc and still no go. Forgive me if my lingo is off but I am a tad new to Mac. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Here's a "Print 101" guide for Mac computers:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670
I believe that you're talking about an Epson WorkForce 635, which I'm quite sure Apple supports because they support the WorkForce 630 [series].
So try removing the printer from the MacBook and re-installing it per the guide.
P.S.: I'm running a WorkForce 645 printer just fine from Mountain Lion.

After upgrading to lion I can use my printer HP Laserjet 1200

After upgrading to lion I can no longer print to the copier on our local network. Tried everything but did not work. Please help

If you just upgraded to Lion, you get 90 days of complimentary support, so don't be bashful. Call 'em. I called Apple support and they resolved this specific issue. We first verified that a newly created Admin account could create and edit Address Book. When it did, we rightly assumed corruption in the Address Book Library files.
Here are the steps from that point.
Back up your Address Book: From Address Book, choose File > Export and choose Export vCard to a desitnation of your choosing.
Close Address Book.
From the Desktop, Hold Option and click Go in the menu at the top of the screen.
Choose Library. If this is not an option, you are not pressing the Option key or you are not an Admin.
Expand the Application Support folder and drag the AddressBook folder to the Trash. Close window.
Open Address Book and import your address book vCard.
Lion has changes that remind me of Windows 2000 where folders are hidden even to Admins. Apple is purposefully hiding files and folders they don't think anyone should be seeing. If you want Admin priviledges you had in Leopard or earlier versions, you need to upgrade to a Root user...highly not recommended.

After upgrading to windows 7, HP CP1215 only prints in black and white !! any Idea any one??
Connected to a Dell 1525 laptop via usb cable

Unplug the printer, and uninstall it. Then download the Windows 7 CP1215 plug and play driver package from www.hp.com. Install the printer using that package.
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

After upgrading to iOS 8.0.2, my iPhone5 won't sync or tether with my Mac.

After upgrading to iOS 8.0.2, my iPhone5 won't sync with my Mac. When I connect the two with my USB cable, the phone connects for an instant then disconnects then reconnects and continues with this loop indefinitely. Incidentally, I can no longer tether my phone with my Mac via Bluetooth either. Has anyone else run into this problem?

Can you connect via WiFi? I have not tried connecting with Bluetooth or USB, but since I upgraded to IOS8 I have had issues with my phone properly broadcasting the WiFi. It works very intermittently.

After upgrade to iOS 6, one of my apps won't load. It seems to, then just ends. Is there an error log I can check?

After upgrade to iOS 6, one of my apps won't load. It seems to, then just ends. Is there an error log I can check?

so your starting it up and its just crashing right away, yes? can you tell me what app it acutally is? as iOS6 is so new my thought would be that its probably incompatable with it at this time, im having trouble with my networks app that just will not let me log in at all!
id suggest going to the page of the app on the app store and look to see if it says if its compatable or not? as for a error log its in usage data, which is in settings > general > about, and i think its near the bottom.

How do I get print n share to work after upgrade to iOS 5. I can print from this app thru wifi. But it can,t print mail, web pages, etc..

How do I get print n share to work after upgrade to iOS 5. I can print from the app thru wifi and PC. However am unable to print mail, web pages, etc..
In mail when I try to print it just says can,t find air printers. It used to say print with print n share.

I sent e-mail to developer regarding this and they said that basically Apple has denied them access to the Airprint dialog in the new source code for iOS 5. So, the only way to print to pdf is to capture the e-mail or webpage in the internal apps within Print n Share. INHO, this really *****. Apple should make printing to pdf files just a standard feature of all their apps. If they don't do this, they are going to lose alot of business to the Adroid world as pdf file format is the business standard for all documents.

After upgrading to snow leopard my HP C5180 printer will not allow me to scan to the computer, it only works as a copier?

Hello,
My hardrive crashed, replaced and reinstalled. However after upgrading to Snow Leopard v.10.6.8, my HP C5180 printer will not give me an option to scan an image to the computer. It only functions as a copier. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks

If your driver is up to date (you didn't say) then you can try Image Capture in your Applications folder or take a look at VueScan http://www.hamrick.com/

Epson SX445W printer won't work since upgrading to mountain lion

I upgraded both my iMac and my Macbook to mountain Lion and ever since doing so the less than 6 months old Epson SX445W printer I have, which is supposed to be compatible with Mountain Lion won't print wirelessly anymore.
I've hunted high and low for new drivers, tried removing and re-installing the printer, switched off gatekeeper, all to no avail, the only way I can get it to work is to print via USB.
The Printer network settings show it is correctly linked to the wireless network.
I've tried adding the printer via IP, when I put the printers IP in, the imac detects the printer and asks me if I wish to use the Epson Stylus SX440 (which I select as it is this driver I previously used before mountain lion) and it the tries to install, tries to download new software and then fails, with the error message
'Can't install the software fo the Epson Stylus SX440 because it is not currently available form the Software Update Server.'
I am at a loss as to how to progress, I'm starting to feel the upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion was pointless, I must admit I was perfectly happy with Lion anyway as it always worked flawlessly for me.
Any help would be appreciated.
Craig

Hi Mende1
When I do that no printer appears unfortunately, only Adobe PDF 8.0
SInce posting this I did try removing and adding again, I have managed to get it to print by using the IP again to add and entering the ip address and then instead of using the default SX440 driver off my machine I selected from the list on the dropdown and chose Series 440, this successfully added the printer, and it just printed a test page, however I'm a little worried that this won't persist as soon as the printer is switched off and a new IP address is assigned by the DHCP server, and I shouldnt need to have to keep re-adding it, any other ideas are most welcome

Epson R280 printer won't print after Apple Epson driver update

I have a 27" iMac running Mountain Lion. I use an Epson R280 printer to print directly onto CD/DVD media. Have used this printer daily for over three years. After an Apple Epson Driver update, I get a 'communication error' message and cannot print. Uninstalled and reinstalled printer. Power cycled printer and rebooted iMac. No Change. Hooked up same printer to my MacBook Pro running Mavericks and printer works. Ideas?

Thanks, Eric. I had tried that previously, but had no luck. I would add the printer back in after Reset, and it still didn't work. The real key step which I found from a previous solution was taking the existing print drivers in Library/Printers/Epson and trashing that folder and then emptying the trash. With those drivers gone, when I rebooted and then powered up and added the printer, Apple prompted me to download new drivers, and 'Voila!'. Back up and running. Thanks much.

My epson sx525wd printer will not install/add to printer list on osx lion

I have recently installed osx lion on my macbook and imac and have had a few issues. the most frustrating one is using a new printer i bought, Epson sx525wd which i bought several months ago but hadnt got round to playing with it yet. Maybe my downfall in not installing on Snow Leopard prior to Lion intall.
Anyhow, When trying to add the printer in the printer system preferences panel, both usb connected or wifi, the message that appears is, this printer software is available to download from apple wound you like to download it, i click yes and it says there is not software to download and then wont let me add the printer.
So, i tried downloading the software/drivers and so on from epson, successfully and installed but add printer system preferences panel still asks me to download from software update and again says there isnt any software to download.
So, i tried doing a software update from the apple icon, software update. again no software updates available. Finally i found the CD installation disc that came with the printer thinking i had fool it. to my disappointment i found that the installation software on the disc was not working and said i needed to install rosetta. and to my further disappointment i discovered that lion has discontinued the use of rosetta.....? is this true.
I am unsure what to do...
would it be safe to say that i might have to revert back to snow leopard to install the printer then upgrade to lion again?
can anyone help or at least give suggestions?
Many thanks
Andy

Delete the /Library/Printers/Epson folder. Then try installing the software that you downloaded again. If that doesn't help, you can try downloading the full package of Epson drivers from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL900.
It shouldn't be necessary to go back to SL and then to Lion to get this working.
Hope this helps.

Epson 3880 Printer won't print

I have an i5 iMac running OS x 10.8.4 that I recently migrated to (about 3 months now) from a PC. My Epson 3880 printer and 1400 printer will not print from Photoshop CS6 or Lightroom 4. I have printed text and less intensive graphics to the 1400. When I print from these apps all I get in the progress is "Stopped - 'filter' failed". It does not tell me what 'filter has failed. I have deleted and reinstalled, restarted, googled the crap out of it and I see many having this issue up and a few have been solved but whenever I try one of the fixes listed - nothing.
Now when I try to print, say from mail, the 1400 is no longer printing at all, same message.
This is frustrating to say the least since I am a photographer and that's why I switched to mac.
Also, still can't find the generic ICC profiles for Epson that used to be installed with the driver (ie for glossy, matte photo paper). One support forum did mention the location where the 3880 ICC profiles were buried and I found them and dragged them out. No luck with the 1400 yet.
Any help would be appreciated.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select "/var/log/cups/error_log" from the file list on the left side of the Console window. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the time of the last failed printing attempt. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
