Can't add Epson printer

I'm using an Epson Aculaser 1900 which worked fine until upgrading to Leopard (clean install on a new harddrive). It's connected via Airport Extreme and is assigned a static IP address. I've tried the drivers installed by Leopard which didn't work at all and now the drivers from the Epson site. Now, when trying to add the printer in the system preferences it shows up where it should (Others -> Epson TCP/IP), but when I click 'add' nothing happens, the printer just doesn't appear in the Printing & Faxing.
Funny thing is that it's working fine from may father's MacBook Pro with Leopard, we sg´hare the printer.
Does anyone have an idea regarding this?
Best regards
Ilona

Problem solved, I've tried the drivers from Epson Hongkong, they work:

According to the CUPS error.log the problem had to do something with the PPD which wasn't properly recognizd.

I’m trying to follow HP’s instructions to add a driver for HP Color Laserjet CP 1215 which is connected to my Time Capsule. However, in System Preferences I can’t “add” the printer to the print queue because I don’t have a driver and you have to select a driver before the add button becomes active. Therefore, the Mountain Lion software update doesn’t add driver software for the CP 1215 driver because I was unable to add the printer to the print queue.

This printer doesn't seem to be supported in ML:

You could try the 1515 driver or use the Generic PostScript Printer PPD when adding the printer.
Hope this helps.

I just purchased a Canon MG5220. I have installed all of the updated drivers for 10.7.3. The scanner is working wirelessly, but I can't add my printer. Any ideas?

With most multi-function devices, you need to run the printer manufacturer's setup/configuring program first. That will either "Add" the printer directly, or make it discoverable in the "Add-a-Printer" window. Look around, you probably downloaded that program when you downloaded the Driver.

Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

It's pretty difficult to offer suggestions when you say nothing about your Mac, the version of Mac OS it's running, or the models of printers you have. This forum, however, is intended for questions about old, pre-G3 hardware, so unless you are asking about an very old Mac, this is not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with your problem. I'd suggest you ask this question in the forum for your model of Mac or version of Mac OS X it's running. You'll be more likely to get assistance there, assuming you provide sufficient detail for anyone to make a diagnosis of the problem.

Can't add Epson R2400 printer

I'm running Mac OS X 10.8.1 on a 24-inch, Early 2009 iMac.
I have a USB-connected Epson R2400 printer. I was having trouble in Photoshop where I couldn't get the printer settings dialog to appear. I figured maybe the drivers needed to be re-installed after upgrading to Mountain Lion, so I deleted the printer in the System Preferences.
Then I went to Epson's website to download the driver package and found that they no longer had it for Mountain Lion -- it says only available from Apple from inside OS X.
Then I went to the System Preferences Print & Scan applet and tried to add the printer. I select the R2400 from the list and it helpfully says "The selected printer software is available from Apple. Click Add to download it and add this printer."
When I do so, after a few minutes of it saying "Setting up 'EPSON Stylus Photo R2400...'" and "Finding software..." I get this error:
"Can't install the software for the EPSON Stylus Photo R2400 because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
When I look at what processes are running during the "Finding software..." phase I see PrintUITool running and it seems to fork getPPDVersion several times. After about the third time getPPDVersion runs I get the 'not currently available' error.
In an attempt to manually force the install, I deleted the /Library/Printers/EPSON directory and manually downloaded the Epson Printer Drivers v2.11 dmg from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398 and re-ran that installer. The end result was the EPSON directory reappeared and yet, when I try to then add the printer again, I get exactly the same error as before.
Any suggestions on how I can add my printer?
Thank you,
--Jim Dempsey--

OK, I hadn't tried rebooting after re-installing the Epson Printer Driver package. I rebooted and then I was able to add the printer.
I don't like rebooting because I typically have dozens of active windows open and many network resources mounted and since the installer didn't tell me that I had to reboot, I didn't.
Still, it seems like that did the trick.

Can't add Epson xp-200 series printer to Macbook Air

Hi all,
hoping someone can help me with this before I throw either the macbook or the printer out the window in frustration!
I recently purchased a new Epson XP-200 series printer and try as I might I cannot get it to connect to my Macbook Air either via wi-fi or USB. I have used both the CD that came with the printer and downloaded the software online. Currently when I have the USB connected the computer recognises that the printer is there but when I try to add the printer it attempts to update the software, then tells me that it cannot as the software is not currently available on the server. I cannot get past this step as the computer won't let me add the printer without updating the software and Apple then tells me it doesn't have the software available despite their website telling me it is and also despite me downloading it from the web.
Can someone please help me get past this issue!
The reason that I bought a new printer was that my previous HP WIFI printer one day just stopped working, or should i say disconnected form the computer and i couldn't reconnect it, I assumed it was the printer, but given that I can still copy on it I'm now thinking it was a computer issue, or one of the OS upgrades to be more precise that caused the issue!

In what context do you see "the software upgrade"?
Is it trying to update firmware on your Epson printer?
Is it trying to update some software on your Mac? That would be highly unlikely since the download link I sent you has the latest software.
To update firmware on your Epson, get the Epson iPrint app for your iPad from the iOS App Store. (By the way, does your iPad connect to the Epson using AIrPrint? Assuming it does ...)
Run Epson iPrint. Click the printer. Then click "Advanced Settings". Then do a firmware update from there.

Can't add Epson 850 Ne printer

When I go to add the Epson 850 Ne printer (ethernet connection thru Airport Exreme) to my MacBook (Intel) it doesn't show up. I've trashed all Epson files, repaired permissions and downloaded epson10222.sea from Epson. It seems to install OK, but then I'm stuck. All works well with G4 Powerbook running 10.4.7 exept Epson Printer Utility. Any ideas?

If I may, and I know this doesn't answer your question, but I work for a company who specializes with printers and their cartridges... Stay away from Epson & Lexmark brand printers. They are built to fail too soon and the cartridges usually fail immediately if you ever try to have them refilled. I work for Island Ink-Jet, so I know what I am talking about. If you ever are in the market for a new printer, buy a Canon or Brother printer. They are the best printers and cartridges for your money and rarely ever fail. On top of this, the two brands build their producst to high quality standards.
Sorry this doesn't help, I just thought I would offer my opinion. Please... no hate mail, Thanks!

Can't add new printer to iMac G5

Hi,
I've just purchased a new Epson Stylus CX7800. I installed the software, plugged in the USB cable and restarted the computer. When I try to add the printer in the Printer Setup Utility, it's listed but when I select it, the button to "add" it doesn't become active. Also listed is a thing called FlashPaper, which when highlighted, is able to be added. WHY CAN'T I ADD MY NEW PRINTER!!!! I'm so frustrated right now, please help!

Take a deep breath & count to ten...............
If you have not already done so after the installation:
Repair permssions & restart.
Go through the installation process per the instructions in the Epson manual, the Printer Setup Utility and/or double check to make sure you installed properly the first time around.
If the above still does not work and/or appears you have done everything correctly, then you will need to check out Epsons Support Site. You may need to update the drivers.
Good Luck!

Can't Add New Printer

In the Print & Fax section of my system preferences it used to show my USB printer. But then, for some reason, it disappeared. Now when I click the add printer button, I can see my printer under the default printers tab, however, when I click to add my printer it asks for a password of someone in the "lpadmin" group. My administrator password does not work for this.
If anyone has any ideas at all, they would be much appreciated.

Can i add a print command to a button in InDesign?

I would like to create a button that will send the document to print.
I am creating an interactive PDF from InDesign CS5 (full screen view). it is a 50 page document with links and buttons.
I would like to be able to create a button which will send the document to print.
I know the commnd/ctrl P does the job, but my client insists (long story).
...and while we're at it: is there a way to "PRINT THIS PAGE ONLY" too?
thanks a lot.

Regarding the final PDF you produce with the Print button; when the user hits the Print button the usual printer dialogue box is launched and s/he can select which pages he wants to print and the number of copies. I think this is what you said this is what your customer wants.
Note: when you add the Print button, within the Acrobat Forms facility, you then go to Button Properties dialogue box and select Actions, select the trigger (i.e. On Mouse Down); Add an Execute a menu Item, click on Add and select File > Print from the drop-down list. A bit complicated to explain here, but easier enough if you have a play around with it. Acrobat Forms are a wonderful facility – well worth exploring the many things you can do with them. Especially if you set up your document first in InDesign!

Can i add a "print" link in standard KM iViews??

Hi All,
I have done some Portal development.
I am new to KM.
I have some doubts:
1.       I want to develop custom News Component, Discussion Group & Discussions etc.. What perspective I should use? I mean, is it PDK? Or is there something else?
2.       In a standard KM iView (for ex: in a news iView), can I add a link called print (say) to print the whole content in the iView? Or should I have to make a custom development for that.
            Please tell me what I should refer to. Any classes like IRoom, IDisscussionGroup etc..????
Plz help me.
<b>Regards,
Sai Krishna.</b>

Any ideas/solutions? Please do share.

Can't add new printer Dell 1350

I am trying to add a Dell 1350 laser printer to my list of printers. When I try to add it, i am unable to find an appropriate file for "Print Using:" option.
If I choose Autoselect, is states that Software for this printr isn't available from Apple.
I downloaded the driver from Dell and installed it, but nothing shows in the Select Printer Software list in the Print Using drop-down. I can't seem to find a file on my iMac that is appropriate either (e.g., Dell-specific or generic printer driver)

You make it a little difficult to help you because you haven't provided any information about your system. Going forward please complete your profile (Your Stuff (upper right) - Profile.) I'm going to guess you use OS X Snow Leopard or Lion, if so please see Printer and scanner software for Snow Leopard & Lion for a list of supported printers. If you cannot find your Dell then you can try Gutenberg's printer drivers and maybe you will be able to find one. You can find their site at:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
You can also check Dell's web site to see if they provide a driver. Because Dell is really a MS Windows company they don't invest much at all in supporting peripherals that users would like to use with OS X. To be honest I think the Gutenberg drivers are the best bet. If they can't help I'd replace the printer with one designed for OS X, they're are hundreds to choose from.
