Can't install printer driver for Epson Workforce 845 on Lion

I can't seem install the printer driver for the Epson Workforce 845 on my MacBookPro running OS 7.2.
I installed the software from Epson but the printer installer can't find it.

I just finished installing an Epson Workforce 545 on Lion.  This info is valid as of early March 2012. The trick seems to be this: DON'T install using the CD that comes with the printer.  DON'T download the driver from Epson.
First do an Apple Software Update to make sure the machine is up-to-date.  Then simply open the Printer & Scan preferences and add the Epson printer.  It will download the driver directly from Apple and you will be good to go.  If you do install the bad drivers from Epson, you have to remove the /Library/Printers/EPSON folder and also anything EPSON in the Cache folder, then start over.

  • Installing most recent print driver for Epson Pro 3800

    I like to make sure that I use the most recent print driver for my Epson Pro 3800.
    So I downloaded the driver "epson 328233 eu.dmg" and it shows up in "Finder downloads"
    * I assume that this driver is the most recent one?
    I have no idea how to continue to replace the existing driver and how to install the latest driver?
    * Do I have to remove the present driver? If so: how do I find the old driver and how do I remove this driver?
    * Thereafter in what way do I install the new driver?
    I am far from a software specialist and I recently switched from PC to iMac which is still troubling me!
    Thank you for helping me!
    Harry

    Dear Sig,
    Thank you for your answer which solved my problem.
    I had the imprerssion that in Mac some downloads are installed automatically and some are not?
    But this might be a wrong observation and is installing always necessary?

  • I can not install any driver for any print to my laptop.

    I have been trying for months to install a driver for just one printer and we have five or six printers.
    My problem is that every time I install a driver it fails and rolls back, everytime. It would just about completely finish installing before rolling back.
    My laptop is a Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2.
    PS:  There were three other users before me that was using this laptop.  I know all three of them and none of them know much about computer. So I tryed to clean out all the junk out of it.
    I got a little more info for however reads this post.  The error that I recieve has no number or error code it just says "Fatal error during installation," but it also has in the title bar this "C:\Users\Justin\AppData\Local\Temp\7z1763\Setup\.​.\Setup\hpzprl01.exe, which seems like it might help.
    Hope that helps.

    I figure out what my problem was.  Here is what I did: I recheck all of my services and startups. If you need help I'll layout steps for you. Just reply that you still need help.

  • Can't install printer driver: HP Color LaserJet 2605dn drivers "not currently available from the Software Update server"

    I was having trouble printing to my HP Color LaserJet 2605dn from a Mac Pro running Mountain Lion, so I went to System Prefernces -> Print & Scan deleted it and atempted to re-add it.  When I try add the printer I get this message:
    Software for this printer is available from Apple. Would you like to download and install it?
    After clicking Download & Install (the only option other than Cancel), I get this:
    Can't install the software for the Hewlett-Packard HP Color LaserJet 2605dn because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
    What's the workaround when Mountain Lion can't find the driver?
    Thanks!

    The 2605dn has dual Network and USB connectivity. Which are you attempting to configure: Network or attached USB?
    Printer on, and if networked, use a static IP address
    Print & Scan
    IP
    Provide printer static IP address
    Select Printer Software ... HP Color LaserJet 2605dn driver (not sure about that 2600 driver)
    Add
    Configure Driver under Options and Supplies
    I have a 1994 HP Laserjet 4m Plus set up using these steps and the appropriate driver. I just added another network printer, using the same IP address, but using the above 2605dn driver without any issue other than complaint about a redundant IP address.
    Hopefully, you have already sorted this out.

  • Can't install scanner driver for Konica Minolta magicolor 1690mf

    I've successfully installed the printer driver for my Konica Minolta 1690MF multi-function printer/scanner/fax.
    However, when I go to try an install the scanner driver, the following error appears:
    "mc1690MF Scanner can’t be installed on this computer.
    The operation system is not adequate for running magicolor 1690MF."
    I am running 10.6.1.
    I downloaded the drivers from the konica minolta website, and it claims the drivers are compliant up to 10.5 (http://onyxftp.mykonicaminolta.com/download/SearchResults.aspx?productid=1167 )
    Is there any way to get a scanner driver that is compliant for the snow leopard OS? Is there an alternative to waiting for the manufacturer to update their drivers?

    I am having the same problem. I was able to scan last week and suddenly this week image capture cannot find the scanner. The Konica Minolta Magicolor 1690mf prints fine but scanning is not functioning. I looking at drivesr on Konica Minolta's site but there were none for os 10.6.1. I called them in and they could not suggest anything other than reloading the printer. They could not tell me if this was a known problem. The person I spoke with says that with apple making the updates it might be a couple of months before they have a driver for it..... how frustrating I can't use the scanner for a couple of months??? Any suggestions out there?

  • How can I install a driver for HP Laserjet P3005. My mac won't allow installation?

    My macbook won't allow em to install the driver for HP Laserjetp3005. Any ideas?

    Apple suppies all the drivers for all the printers that work with any specific os x version. Just go to the Print & scan section of system preferences and Add Printer (Plus ( + ) Sign) and if it is supported the driver will be there.

  • Tecra 8200: I can't install Wlan driver for Windows XP

    Hello ,
    i can't find wireless driver for windows xp. I have Tecra 8200. I try to install a lot of drivers of the official page of Toshiba for Tecra 8200 but the drivers do not work.
    If anyone know how i can install wireless in my tecra 8200, please let me know.

    Hi
    Firstly what I want say is the Tecra 8200 was not delivered with Windows XP and you will not find any Wlan drivers for WinXP on the Toshiba website.
    I have checked it and there are only drivers for W2k, NT, and W98SE.
    But as far as I know the unit was delivered with the ORiNOCO specification Wlan miniPCI Card Wireless LAN standard: 802.11b
    In this case I would recommend searching in the net for such drivers.
    Unfortunately, this is all what I can suggest.

  • Why doesn't my macbook recognize printer driver for Epson T13X? I am using Mountain Lion 10.8.2

    It's a corrupt download. Try downloading it again.

  • Unable to install twain driver for Epson scanner -- Leopard

    I finally got the printer driver working for my Epson CX6600.
    Downloaded the correct driver from the Epson website and all is fine.
    But now my scanner won't work.
    The CX6600 is an all-in-one.
    The Twain Scanner Driver was paired up in the same download.
    However, after downloading the installer file I was unable to install it.
    The cursor just spins and spins -- and I then get a repeated warning window asking if I want to open this software downloaded from the Internet.
    I have to do a Force Quit to get out of the installer app.
    Ideas?
    Thanks,
    Danty

    where you able to resolve this problem? I also have this problem. Can scan manually.

  • OS 10.3.9 - Can't run printer utility for Epson 1520

    My ink jets are clogged, but I can't run the printer utility. It's grayed out in the print monitor and I can't click on it. I had the same problem a few months ago and downloaded a driver someone recommended. It worked, but it was a trial version and started printing logos on everything after 30 days. So I uninstalled it. Ideally, I need a free printer driver. Or if not, another trial version will get me by for now.
    Thanks

    Have you tried downloading and installing the latest Epson driver? The Epson driver should include a printer utility.

  • Can't add printer driver for Deskjet 1010 on Mac OS 10.9.5

    I have installed the printer driver on my Mac Mini running 10.7.5 with almost no issue (well, one of the first printouts actually crahsed Preview, but that was only once and might be another issue) and it print well and fast. But now I try to add this printer to my MB Pro running 10.9.5 and it always croaks that the software can't currently be loaded from the server (since 2 days now).
    I guess it means my Mac Mini which likely only has drivers for the oder OS X. I also tried to install the drivers directly (downloaded from Apple's support pages) but still to no avail. I always get that ghastly message.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I said (or meant) that I plugged the printer in the USB port of my MacBook. This made OSX to install the appropriate drvers. I think I also used the supplied CD with HP drivers to complete the installation. I'm pretty sure you can find the driver itself somewhere on a HP site for download. Sorry, but I have no idea where. I just remember searchng for drivers in the past. And most times it was a PITA :-(

  • Printer driver for Epson printer not found

    I have an Epson Stylus Color 860 printer. Epson apparently does not support this printer anymore, at least with Lion. I downloaded a driver from Gutenprint that seemed to do the trick. The only "problem" is that I get this message in the Printer Utility whenever I print.
    Is there anything I can do about this? Or should I just leave well enough alone? Like I said. The printer seems to print just fine from both OS X 10.7.1 and 10.6.8.

    It sounds like you may have a preference file left over from the Epson Stylus Color 860 printer.
    1) Have you followed the directory path, /Library/Printers/Epson/CIOSupport, to see if the plug-in exists.
    2) Check for a preference file named for the printer in  /Library/Preferences
    3) Check for a preference file named for the printer in  ~/Library/Preferences
    4) Check for an Epson print driver named for the printer in  ~/Library/Printers
    If you find items in those locations from Epson for the Stylus Color 860 printer, move them to the Trash or a folder on the Desktop. See if the message goes away.
    Be careful not to Trash any files related to the Gutenprint driver.

  • Printer Driver for Epson Stylus R800 Printer Included with OS X 5 Leopard

    How many faulty drivers may there be included with OS X 5 Leopard?
    After installing OS X 5 Leopard I found that when using my Epson Stylus PHOTO R800 printer photograph prints and ordinary lettering were extremely feint and unusable.
    From the list of printers installed with OS X 5, as given in Apple "K"base Documents, I checked the version number of the driver for the Stylus Photo R800 and it was given as "SPR800 3.09 app"
    I next checked the latest driver specified by Epson on their website---it too was given as
    "SPR800 3.09 app".
    Despite this information I downloaded the "SPR800 3.09 app" from Epson and installed it and the problem was solved.
    I am writing this to inform others that despite the driver included with OS X 5 being specified as
    "SPR800 3.09 3.09" it certainly is not!!!
    The only answer is to use the latest version provided on the Epson website.

    Dear scb
    Many thanks for taking the time to reply to my post, you are so right in your remarks.
    Although I've been on Macs for around 25 years I hadn't come across something as blatant as this before---maybe I've been lucky!
    Your comment regarding the avoidance of software included with the product is very relevant particularly at the present time, so soon after the release of OS X 5 Leopard. There must be thousands of printers and the like which are being sold right now with software applicable to OS X 4 Tiger included with them.

  • Cannot install scanner driver for Epson 1650 Perfection

    This isn't making sense to me. I was running Snow Leopard on another drive and was using my Epson Perfection 1650 scanner just fine. I bought a 2TB drive and installed Snow Leopard and am booting from that now and my scanner isn't recognized. If I try to open the Epson Scan utility, it just quits before it fully opens. I downloaded the scanner driver from Epson's website again and when I try to install it, the installer quits before it is fully open.
    I did a Repair Permissions but that didn't help.
    I tried manually copying the Epson Scanner Module folder from my Library on the other drive to the Library on this new drive and that didn't help.
    I found a webpage on Apple's site listing scanners that are compatible with Snow Leopard and mine is listed. It claims most drivers are installed with the system. If so, how come my scanner isn't working now? But it did work in Snow Leopard on my other drive. I can boot from the other drive and use the scanner now, but I want to be able to use it from this drive.

    I have been able to use OmniPage X in Snow Leopard with only one problem. I think it is because I did not try to instal it. It came across with my auto transfer from earlier software/hard drives. It reads documents but does not scan because I haven't transferred over my old twain files. I understand that the OmniPage twain file may not work in Snow Leopard but there is a freeware twain driver which I haven't tried.
    So if you are having problems installing OmniPage on your Intel Mac, try copying over the app, (OS9 style) from an older Mac which has an old OSX system on which OmniPage X successfully installed.
    I use VueScan to scan pages from my scanner, save the multiple pages as a pdf, open OmniPage and get it to import the pdf file. Then I do steps 2, 3 and 4 manually (though you could do all steps automatically). The result is much better and incredibly accurate text - much better than in the olden days when I could scan directly into OmniPage. The only things occasionally misread are numbers, particularly fractions.
    I am scanning two pages at a time and the VueScan OCR, though it otherwise does a quite accurate job, tends to blend the two pages together, so it is not useful for me. It would be far too slow to scan in each page separately.
    It's a shame that Caere sold OmniPage to Scansoft. I remember getting regular messages about improved accuracy upgrades and I'd always buy them. Caere cared. Scansoft does not, even though OmniPage still is the best OCR software for the Mac.
    If Scansoft is not interested in upgrading OmniPage for the Mac, maybe it should stop hogging it and sell it to someone who would be interested in looking after its users.
