Can't Define Epson R2400 Printer, Error -9672

I had happily been using my Epson Stylus Photo R2400 (firewire connection) on my G4 PowerBook ever since we purchased it four or five months ago. Then, suddenly, it stopped printing. Eventually, I deleted the printer definition and found that I could not redefine it in Printer Setup Utility. Here is what happens:
1) I go into printer setup utility and see the "E" printer connected.
2) I click on "More Printers" and choose "Epson Firewire" from the drop down. Stylus Photo 2400 (FW) appears.
3) I select the printer and then click on the Add button.
4) A dialog box appears with a generic error message and Error -9672
5) Console tells me:
Error -9672, badly formatted ticket XML - Bad XMLStart:
Bad XMLEnd
Feb 5 16:30:06 Gary-Bebermans-Computer crashdump[244]: PrintJobMgr crashed
Feb 5 16:30:07 Gary-Bebermans-Computer crashdump[244]: crash report written to: /Users/garyb/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/PrintJobMgr.crash.log
6) The crash log is, to me, indecipherable.
Here is what I have done to fix it:
1) Downloaded the latest Epson installer (G4 version). Used it to uninstall the 2400 drivers and then reinstall them.
2) Repair permissions (both before and after the reinstall).
3) Run just about every option in the Printer Repair Utility (a shareware utility I found mentioned in another thread).
4) Define the printer using a USB connection (both from the Printer List menu and from More Printers/Epson USB).
Nothing seems to change. The only thing I haven't done is reset my printing system, which I am afraid to do since I worry I could be left with no working printers.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Gary
Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

No go.
I downloaded the combo updater, ran it, restarted, and then tried to define the printer.
Same experience.
BTW, I tried to define it to another computer (again, a G4 PowerBook, but this one was running 10.4.7). It worked fine.
Thanks much for the suggestion.

  • 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.

  • Problems with Epson R2400 printer and Mac

    I'm a photographer and I switched to an imac a while ago. When I tried out my Epson R2400 printer, it worked really awful, comparing to when I used it with PC. I still haven't managed to fix these prolems. The printer menu is diminished (less options, many inaccessible in grey), there are problems with print density, with color adjustment, what I see on my screen is not what I get on my print (a black and white photo in grayscale mode can appear almost light blue when printed), there are even alignment problems (centred photos appear closer to the left edge of the paper). And I don't have a clue why all this is happening. The printer driver I installed is apparently the latest one. So I don't know where to go from here. I have installed and I use the profiles of the specific papers I'm using, but the results are NASTY. Please help.

    By the way, I have read the links under "More like this", but those threads don't seem to clarify my question. Originally I had installed my Epson driver from the original (old) Epson CD. When that didn't work I uninstalled and installed the newer Epson driver from the Epson's site. Doesn't work and the problems I'm having are the ones I mentioned above. 

  • 10.8.3 seems to crash when printing to an epson R2400 printer

    I am using Lighroom to print to my Epson R2400 printer, when I do the computer crashes.  This was working fine before the latest OS update.  Is anyone else having trouble with this?  How can I get my printer to work again?

  • Epson R2400: Printing Issue: Dark printing after 10.7?

    This question goes out to all of the Epson R2400 printer owners whom, if you're like me and have had one for a while, seem to have printing issues after every little change in the OS:
    In Brief: Printing to the Epson R2400 via USB direct from iMac was printing well; outputing from InDesign, PhotoShop, and Acrobat Pro (all are CS5). I am not 100% sure because this is not a printer that I use daily, but I believe that I am having these printing issues after upgrading to 10.7.2 from 10.7.1.
    The issue is that an output is very dark overall, or (after tweaking settings) will have a dramatic color shift to heavy magenta/black. In general, my traditional printer settings no longer produce correct outputs.
    Anyone that has any suggestions or similar issues, I would like to hear about it.
    Notes:
    1. Yes, I completed all of the tradional voodoo magic: I cleared the printer caches, removed the printer, setup a new printer, updated the drivers via Apple software update, then once that didn't work, updated the drivers from Epson - even reverting to the older v6.5 drivers. I'm now back to the v8 drivers from the Apple software update.
    2. My printing tests are being conducted using a standard color test file that I've used to calibrate color on this Epson R2400 for years. I generally know that when this file doesn't print correctly something is afoot.
    3. My first attempt at correction was simply checking head alignment and completing a general cleaning of the heads. Didn't help.
    4. General question: Does anyone know of a compatible printer manufacturer of similar quality of output that actually cares about Mac users? Epson just never seems to really care about keeping their Apple drivers up to date or making sure that they work properly. Humble opinion.

    Ok. I believe that it all comes down to the use of a third-party ink.
    I didn't realize that there was a switch to a "refill" ink (to save money it appears) on the light-light-black and magenta. Switching back to Epson ink cleared the matter up.
    I guess sometimes it's the simple things that elude us...

  • Epson r2400 printing margins

    I am trying to print cards on Strathmore paper with an Epson r2400. The size is 6 7/8" x 10". I keep getting a big left and top margin.
    BTW: Aperture insists in cropping that the geometry is 6.9 x 10, and insists in the print dialog that it is 7x10 ".
    I have tried printing the calibration page, but it prints with a 1/8" margin on the left and top, making the numbers useless. I have tried to guess at what the calibration (using 40 for right and 24 for bottom) but nothing seems to work.
    Can anyone explain to me what calibration is supposed to do, since it doesn't seem to have any effect. And just what do those calibration numbers mean, anyway?
    Until I figure it out, it's back to Photoshop for printing....
    mahalo,
    paul

    Paul,
    Did you actually get the Epson r2400 to print on 7x10 stock? I have scored 7x10 stock, for folded 5x7 cards (Moab Entrada; really nice paper!). I had no problem working with this paper & printer combination (actually, my printer is the Epson R1800) in PC land, but when I define a 7x10 custom paper size on my new Mac, it doesn't seem to stick. Mac lets me define it, but when I send the print job to the printer, it bombs and I get a message that media is loaded incorrectly. This has happened from Aperture, and from Print Explosion.
    Any clues?

  • Epson R2400 prints from Apterture and CS2 are VERY close.

    Using the same NEF file that Frank donated, I printed an untouched(cropping only) print from Aperture to my Epson R2400 on premium lustre paper.
    I took the white balance temp(4906 K) and tint(-14) from the HUD and applied these into Bridge(temp/tint for the same NEF), with default values for everything else default(exposure:0, shadows:5, brightness:40, contrast:+25, saturation:0, sharpening:25), and color space sRGBIEC61955-1, then opened it in CS2 and printed it.
    NOTE: I am using PowerRIP-X V7.2 from iProof Systems for my print driver, it is installed like a printer and shows up as a printer on the selection list. IMHO, the $200 I spent on the R2400 RIP was money well spent. Between the RIP and the calibrated monitor, my color matching from screen to print is dead on, regardless of the paper type.. no more wasted prints and frustration. They also sell a RIP for the Epson 4800.
    The prints from both are very, very, close. I have been shooting digital since 1997 and therefore do not own a scanner, so this is my visual review. Although I might shoot em tomorrow with my D2X on a tripod while lighting with a 47" Octabox... we'll see.
    The CS2 print has a very slight bit more saturation of the skin tones(reddish) than Aperture. The shirt in the Aperture print is a very slight bit darker than the CS2 print.
    If you look very closely and angle the light just right you can see a slight bit of the earlier mentioned blocking in the shadow on the subjects left shoulder.
    I suspect the slight darkening of the shirt color may be due to the same reason for the aforementioned blocking in the shadow areas.
    There is no appreciable difference in print quality.
    I calibrate my 20" Cinema Display with a Spyder2PRO device and these slight differences are seen on screen as well, therefore on hardware calibrated displays the following screen capture should represent the differences..(I have no idea what this will look like on a windoze monitor!)
    To see this full res in Safari, right click and select 'Open Image in New Window'

    There seems to be two issues here. For output, using
    the same output profile, Aperture and Photoshop
    should be pretty close however, keep in mind that
    unless you set Photoshop to use the Apple CMM (not
    ACE) there could be a tiny bit of difference.
    Hmmm.
    I'm trying to remember what Bruce Fraser said about CMM choice the last time I attended on of his lectures. If I have it correctly he had reservations about all of them but the Adobe CMM was the best of the lot.
    This was over a year ago so conditions may have changed and my memory may be faulty....
    But I imagine that their might be negative consequences to using two different CMMs to process your data. Photoshop allows you a choice of CMM's, which is consistent with an application "designed from the ground up for professional photographers."
    Aperture limits many choices, both basic and esoteric.

  • CS 3 Epson R2400 printing problem

    After recently migrating from Tiger to Leopard I reinstalled the driver software for my Epson R2400, and have been having CS3 printing problems ever since.
    The project I'm doing print work from involves CMYK versions of greyscale photos and a spot color (Pantone 200PC, also tried Trumatch 5-a2).
    If I try to print from InDesign, or from Acrobat using an InDesign "press quality" pdf, everything's 'thin'. The greyscale photos are a bit washed out, and the spot color is pink rather than rich red.
    If I export a jpg from InDesign and print from Photoshop the quality is acceptable
    If I export a jpg from InDesign and print from Lightroom the quality is acceptable
    InDesign's color settings are-
    RGB: sRGB
    CMYK: Sheetfed Coated V2
    Can anyone help? Many thanks.

    If you have a computer that runs Tiger you should stick with Tiger. CS3 was written under Tiger and seems to work best in Tiger. Use the backup of your system drive you made before upgraded to leopard as you can't go back with an Archive and install. The bells and whistles in Leopard are not worth the stability Tiger offers.

  • CS4 - Epson R2400 - Printing too dark.

    System: Vista x64
    Monitor calibration: Eye One Display and basICColor Display software - profiled to basICColor's PrePress setting. Luminance is 130.
    Paper: Hahnemuhle 'Photo Rag Pearl' (with Hahnemuhle's profile) and Permajet 'Oyster' (with Permajet Profile)
    Settings in Print Dialog are: Photoshop Manages Colours, Paper profile selected, Perceptual Rendering Intent, Best Photo, ICM, Colour Management OFF (no colour management), Paper Type selected.
    Image is perfect in Photoshop window and perfect in Print Preview, but prints about a stop under and with a cast.
    What can I do to get prints that come close to what I'm seeing?
    Right now I can only get them if I brighten them such that, in ACR, the file would be way overexposed.
    This is very odd. CS3 was much better.
    Any ideas?
    Can I create a profile for my CS4/Vista x64/R2400/Paper Choice combination that will get me what I'm seeing on the screen? If so, how do I do this?
    Thanks.

  • Printer error 9672!!

    every time I try to add my printer on the printer set up utility it responds error 9672. I am using an HP photosmart 3180 printer and my airport express is connected with the printer.
    please help, its driving me crazy!

    Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with the AirPort base stations. The following iFelix website list the known compatible printers. A quick look at the site didn't reveal yours. However, there is a link for "General HP Printer Support" that might prove helpful.

  • Can't find Epson 9900 printer driver after installation.

    After installing the printer driver for my epson 9900 printer, it doesn't show up in the printer dialogue box in system preferences. When I try printing from Photoshop it also doesn't show up in selecting a printer. I am upgrading from a previous 9900 printer driver. I trashed the old printer driver. After installing the new printer driver, I restarted my iMac. But still it doesn't show up.

  • Printer error -9672 Please Help!

    No matter what I use I get this error when I try to load the printer driver... Downloaded new printer drivers from Epson, no change. I have a Epson 4000 and ditching it it not an option... Do I need to go back to an earlier OS version?

    It is a networked printer and is on the network via ethernet. The Epson Printer Utility can see it, so that is not the problem and it comes up when I search for printers but when I load the printer driver I get this error message.

  • Epson R2400 print clipping with PowerMac G5 from InDesign

    I'm at a total loss here and would appreciate any help.
    I'm attempting to print to print a 10x14 inch pages from InDesign on my Epson 2400 on to A3 sized paper.
    All goes well until the paper feeds into the machine and and begins printing. The result is a correctly scaled print that's clipped to exactly 213x260 mm, the image is positioned in the top right corner of the A3 sheet.
    There has been a lot of discussion on this forum regarding Epson drivers which I have read and followed through, performing my own trouble-shooting. This has included reinstalling the drivers, swapping USB for Firewire and visa-versa, setting up and new user account and even as far as a clean install.
    Curiously, this problem not only only specific to InDesign (I can print fine from other apps, including Photoshop) but also specific to the G5. I have two Dual G5 PowerMacs in my studio which exhibit the same problem but there is no issue when I print from our Intel iMac.
    I can't tell if it's an Apple or Adobe problem!
    Please, if there is anyone out there that can shed some light on this I would love to here from you.
    Thanks

    Q: Since I upgraded to Macintosh OS X 10.5 Leopard, some printer driver options are missing. What should I do?
    A: Make sure youre not using the Macintosh OS X 10.5 Gutenprint driver. Follow these steps to check if youre using the Gutenprint driver and change it if necessary:
    From the Apple menu, select System Preferences.
    Click Print & Fax.
    If necessary, click once on your printers name in the Printer list. (You dont need to do this if only one printer driver is installed).
    If you see Gutenprint next to your printer name, go to step 5 to change the driver. (The Epson Stylus Photo RX620 appears in the example below, but youll see your printer or all-in-one name instead).
    If you see only your printers name, youre using the correct driver, and you can skip the remaining steps.
    Turn off the printer.
    Click the button to remove the printer from the Printers list, then click OK.
    Go to the Macintosh Leopard Support page and select your printer or all-in-one from the appropriate list.
    After you select your printer or all-in-one, the web page will either inform you that the driver for your model is included in Mac OS X 10.5 or give you a description and download option for an Epson driver for your printer.
    If the driver for your model is included in Mac OS X 10.5, go to the next step. Otherwise, download and install the Epson driver for Mac 10.5 before continuing with step 8.
    From the Apple menu, select System Preferences. If necessary, click Print & Fax.
    Turn on the printer. Your computer should add the printer automatically.
    If your computer does not add the printer or if it adds the Gutenprint driver again, contact Apple for assistance. You may need to reinstall the Epson drivers provided with Macintosh OS X 10.5.
    Note: To check ink levels, click the Utility button, then click EPSON StatusMonitor. The Supply Levels button will not show remaining ink levels for your Epson printer.

    HellO:
    I do not have an Epson printer.  However, I did look at their web site.  It "appears" that the printer has no built-in wireless connectivity.  However, I "think" you could set up a little wireless network with an Airport Express (see description on this web site).  Do some research before you spend any money.
