Cannot add Epson SP 1400 to printer list after installing driver

I have a new Epson Stylus Photo 1400 and I'm having trouble adding it to my G4's printer list. I'm running OS 10.3.9. I installed the driver from the Epson disc but when I get to the Add Printer stage, the printer isn't on the list. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the printer software several times to no avail. I called Epson Support and they walked me through downloading and installing the newest driver, checking that the USB cable was good and connected, printer turned on, etc. Each time after the installation, the 1400 driver isn't in the Library > Preferences > Printers folder. When I open the Printer Setup Utility and click Add, nothing happens. It doesn't even open another window. Epson Support then advised me to call Apple because my OS might be corrupt. Before I try reinstalling the OS, I thought I'd see if someone had a better idea. I see similar problems from other users with Epson printers. Can anyone help?
Thank you!

I am having the same problem but with a newly-purchased Epson R1800. I followed the Epson instructions but when I got to the "Printer Setup Utility" it would not open; it was as if it wasn't even there. I know its not included with Leopard but should definitely be included with Panther since Epson says the R1800 will work with Macs using OSX(10.3x)! I called AppleCare (my expense), gpt a work order number and worked with them for half a day today with no luck. First we tried "disc first aid" but when that didn't work I ended up doing a full reinstall and archive with their assistance. Still no luck! The person assisting me tried but was unable to resolve the issue and asked me to hold on for another expert; I waited on the phone to speak with that person for over two hours and eventually had to hang up after figuring I was placed "on forget" instead of "on hold". When I redialed AppleCare, the recording told me they were closed for the day. Any help would be appreciated - from anyone!

Epson Workforce 40 - WiFi printing breaks after installing OS DriverUpdate

Hello,
My computer (MacBookPro) is a Snow Leopard Upgrade. I recently bought an Epson Workforce 40. The documentation said first install Rosetta if running Snow Leopard, so i installed Rosetta. I then ran the install.app from the CD Epson provided. The installer installed the 'drivers' and when finished popped up the Epson NetConfig application. The Epson NetConfig app told me to plug in my Epson Workforce 40 into my wired network so it could pick up on it's broadcast traffic and (auto discover) etc etc. Once auto discovered i went through the necessary steps to get it on my wireless LAN and exited the Epson NetConfig.
I then went into System Preferences\Print & Fax, where I selected "+". I was able to find the printer via Bonjour. When selected the "Print Using" auto populated. This is where i don't remember what it auto populated with. It was either "Workforce 40" or "Epson Workfoce 40". I do know it was not auto populated with "Epson Workforce 40 - Gutenprint v5.2.3" as I remember dropping down to see what else was available. I then selected "Add".
I soon opened a pdf and printed a document to the Epson Workforce 40. It worked with no problem.
Today, I downloaded and installed from the Apple Software Update the Epson Printer Driver Update. I don't know what version it was. After downloading and installing i found i could no longer print. This was initially realized by trying to print a pdf document, but when selecting the print button, it simply didn't print. The print roll down dialog just stayed there and let me continually select print. In order to exit the print roll down dialog, i had to select cancel.
Goggling around lead me to several ideas and fixes, I have done both of suggested fixes below found in (Topic : Apple Applications Will Not Print) (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2194149&start=15&tstart=15). The second fix listed below I did do, however, I did not re-install Snow Leopard.
Thanks to anyone that has ideas or suggestions!
======================
Try this verbally, step by step:
1. Delete the folder /Library/Printers/EPSON
2. Delete all files start with "EPSON" in folder /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources and /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj (and in all other xx.lproj subfolders).
3. Delete all files start with "epson" in /usr/libexec/cups/backend and /usr/libexec/cups/filter
4. Delete all bundles start with "EPSON" in /System/Library/Extensions
5. Reset printing system ("Print & Fax" preferences, <control>-click in the printer queue list, choose "reset printing system").
6. Disconnect your printer from the computer, reboot your computer.
7. Connect your printer back, when being asked to install printer driver for your printer, say "yes".
======================
*Problem Solved*: Thanks John Blanchard1 for leading me in to some paths I didn’t think of! Anyway here how I final clear this up: Lay a new copy of Snow Leopard on-top of the fresh clean-install that I did yesterday. After the re-start I when directly to the Pirnt/ Fax in Pref panel. Notice that my printer said “Artisan 50” instead of “Epson Artisan 50” Like did in the past. “Hum???” Wonder why it had that instead of “Epson Artisan 50”? So I remove it from the list and try adding it again. Well here what happen next. Instantly it ask me : Do you want to download Epson Print drivers. What the heck! It want hurt after all what I’ve been through last 3 days. So it download –it. Anyway it was 34 -35mb file???. After that I did another re-start. Now every thing now print again “Text-Edit, Safari, i-Photo, & ect.
Don’t believe that Epson V2.1 for download is same as the default as when you 1st strat–up Snow Leopard and add printers. I do know that I don’t believe Apple should be putting driver into Software Update. Things work fine before I down loaded it. Best advice far as print drivers go “If the the work fine, don’t mess with them.” Hope this help to anybody get to end of this thred.
Must say this was one weird fixes I’ve very run to over the years. I feel Apple may not be consisted in it driver packages.

a few things i just tried:
i first followed the first suggestion listed above, ie deleting all associated EPSON files.
downloading and installing this"Epson Printer Drivers v2.1 for Mac OS X v10.6.1" (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL900). doing so then re-adding the printer only leaves me where i was before where i try to print, but it just lets me continually hit "print" and nothing happens. this update very well might have been the one that i initially downloaded and broke my working setup.
i first followed the first suggestion listed above, ie deleting all associated EPSON files.
i tried to re-install the driver from the CD with the network printer driver selected, and this allows me to select print, but i get the error "/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter/Filter/rastertoescp.app/Contents/MacOS/r astertoescp failed". This error is listed in the print queue.

Cannot add new items to a value list in AW database

I have a database which I have been using for many years. One of the fields is a value list. I just went to add another item to the list, and no matter what I do, the Create button is grayed out. I have another value list in the same database that works fine.
There are currently 170 items in the value list that is causin the problem, but I didn't think that there was a limit to the number of items that can be is a value list. (At least there is nothing in the AW technical specifications to indicate thin. I duplicated the existing database, deleted about 20 items from the list, then saved the file, and reopened it, and still cannot add new items to that value list. Does anyone know what might be causing the problem?

Oops
I read too fast.
Here is a short script which may help.
Replace the pop-up item by a text one and edit the property myList in my script to fit your needs.
Select the field to fill and run the script.
Then choose an item in the displaid list. It will be pasted in the selected field.
This trick would give you to work with a "no limit" list of items.

Cannot add Epson stylus photo 1400 to printer list

Hi,
I just unpacked my new printer, however I don't seem to be able to install it properly. I have tried both the the driver from the website as well as the one that came with it on CD. First, installing seems to go smoothly. Then I get to a screen telling me that before I can print I will have to add it to the printer list. The next screen gives me the printer list with the Epson Stylus's name on it. However, clicking on it I am not able to select the proper device name. It just doesn't appear on the list. (click here for a screenshot: http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/8601/bild15zy6.png ) Finally, the Epson driver installation app tells me that my printer "has not been added to the printer list" and that I should better go back and try again. "Running a printer check" actually makes it draw paper in but doesn't print anyhow.
Could someone help me with this?
Thanks a lot.

I now managed to install my printer. To state my problem first, so people don't have to read the whole thread again:
My printer (this should be printer model independent) is connected directly via USB to my macbook. When I tried to add it to my printer list, I recieved the message "Error: -9672, An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer"
As I gathered from the forums, this points to missing rights during installation. In a lucky guess, I logged onto my computer not with my usual account but with the admin account and from there I could install it without any problems!
That is a bit strange as I should have been able to assign admin rights via entering the password from my usual account, but there you go. Strange are the ways of Apple (as with my most favourite mac problem/solution of all times: when you use the password reset feature from the install DVD, it uses an english keyboard layout, but in the standard log-in window it uses whatever the locale is set to, thus e.g. mixing z und y in German layout amongst others. This small misunderstanding cost me hours over christmas! Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone has similar trouble)
I hope this helps,
Otto

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.

You can, but stupid rules in reminders.
After you set up a new list and hit done

I don't like it.
I will use the task list attached to my calendar app instead.

Cannot add groups to Lync 2013 contact list

Just recently we've had reports (and I can verify this myself) in the Lync 2013 client if you add a group to the contact list, it says "Cannot perform this action, and the cause is unknown. Contact your support team to investigate this problem."
There is no issue adding individual users to the lync contact list, just if you search for a group (for example, Accounting) and this group is an easy way to add lets say 5 accounting associates to lync instead of individually adding each person at a
time.
Any idea how to diagnose this? In checking my Lync client version I get this:
Microsoft Lync 2013 (15.0.4675.1000) MSO (15.0.465.1002) 32-bit
Part of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013
The server is Lync 2013 as well.
Exchange 2013 is used on premise if that matters.

Printing problems after installing the Epson Printer Driver 2.16

Has anyone experienced any problems after installing the Epson Printer Driver 2.16 through Software Update? I am having problems printing. It denotes an error message, specifically the rastertoescpii.app isn't working?

Oops, wanted everyone to know that the driver that Software Update downloaded and installed was 2.18, not 2.16 (which was the last one that worked for me). I just got done downloading the 2.18 driver directly from the Apple support website and installing it. Guess what? My printer is now working and everything is fine. If you are having issues, I suggest this route. Guess I solved my own problem, but hope this helps someone else.

OfficeJet 6700 - "Unable to communicate with printer" message after install

I am on a hybrid network with Windows 7, 64-bit. Printer is hard-wired to the router (ethernet) but laptops are wireless. Installation doesn't allow for a hybrid option, just wireless or wired, so I installed as wired.
I just installed the OfficeJet 6700 - installed OK. I also updated software/firmware during the install process.
Windows' "Devices & Printers" recognizes the HP as being installed.
Printer is able to produce the network configuration page, etc. so we know the printer is functional, but when I try to print I get an "Unable to communicate with printer" message.
Windows' "Devices and Printers" troubleshooter thinks the driver is not installed, but as I mentioned, I just installed software from the CD.
UPDATE: I was able to install & print without problems on my wife's Win7, 64-bit laptop. Something about mine seems to be the issue. Also, HP Print & Scan Doctor reports that everything checks out OK, but when I try to print a test page at the end of the good doctor's diagnosis, I am still "unable to communicate with printer."

Sorry this is so long, but I tried to be through in my testing.
Followed your suggested steps.
I had previously set a static IP address, but just to be thorough, re-set it again with the same address.
I unplugged the USB cord from the laptop.
I began with the device labeled "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)," which was set as the default printer.
After entering the IP address & clicking Next, it searched the network and returned this message:
Additional port information required
The device could not be identified.
The device is not found on the network. Be sure that:
1. The device is turned on.
The network is connected.
The device is properly configured.
The address on the previous page is correct. (re: the page where the IP address is entered)
If you are sure the address is correct, select the device type below.
I selected Standard (Generic Network Card) and clicked Next.
Summary dialog appeared and I clicked Finish.
Clicked OK/Apply.
Attempted to print. Like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing.
Right-clicked on the "Copy 1" device and selected Troubleshoot. Returned the message: Make printer "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700 the default printer" - even though this copy is already the default printer. (Usually when the original copy is set as the default, this copy is automatically re-named "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700.") I chose "Apply this fix."
Summary page said "Troubleshooting has completed." I closed the troubleshooter and attempted to print. I closed the Devices & Printers window so it could refresh. Re-opened Devices & Printers. Now the default printer is named "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700." The other device is grayed out and is simply named "HP OfficeJet 6700."
Attempted to print. (I'm testing w/ Notepad and .txt files)
I have 3 choices in the Notepad's printer dialog box but only 2 devices showing in the Devices & Printers window:
~ "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700" - This is the default printer in the Devices and Printers window. I clicked on Print & rec'd an error message: "Send Fax - HP Officejet 6700. There is a problem communicating with the Printer. Check your USB connection & verify that the printer is ready." Notepad's print dialog box shows status as Offline. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700." When I choose this printer option, Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Paused - Offline." I clicked on "Print" anyway, and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This is the printer that shows as grayed out in the Devices & Printers window. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)." There is no printer by this name in the Devices and Printers window even tho' it shows in Notepad's print dialog box. Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Ready." In Devices & Printers, when I right-click on the one labeled "Fax OfficeJet 6700" (the default device) and choose "See what's printing," 2 HP devices are listed - the one labeled "Copy 1" and the one labeled "Fax." I clicked on "Print" and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
I plugged in the USB cord again and re-ran the same series of tests.
~ "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700" - This is still the default printer in the Devices and Printers window. Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Ready." The fax window opened, waiting me to enter the recipient's name, add a cover sheet, etc. I closed the fax window. The .txt file was in the print queue for the "Fax" device, so I canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700." When I choose this printer option, Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Paused - Offline." I clicked on "Print" anyway, and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This is grayed out in the Devices & Printers window. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)." Again, there is no printer by this name in the Devices and Printers window even tho' it shows in Notepad's print dialog box. This is one of 2 choices in the device labeled "Fax" - the default device. Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Ready." I clicked on "Print" and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
Next, I used the printer's touch screen interface and turned the wireless connection off, leaving the USB cord plugged in.
~ "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700" - Status: Ready. The fax window opened, same as before. I closed the fax window & canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 - Status: Paused - Offline. I clicked on "Print" anyway, and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This one shows as grayed out in the Devices & Printers window. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)" - Status: Error. I clicked Apply, then Print. Again, this is one of 2 choices in the device labeled "Fax" - the default device. Like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
Reconnected to the wireless network & verified that the IP address had not changed.
Tried again to print using "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)" - Status: Ready. I clicked Print and again, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This is still listed as one of 2 choices in the device labeled "Fax" - the default device." Like before, I canceled all documents in the print queue.
Next, I right-clicked on the one labeled "Fax OfficeJet 6700" (the default device) and choose "See what's printing" and selected the device labeled "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)." In the print queue window, when I click on "Printer, one of my options is "Set as Default Printer." As soon as I did that, the device in the Devices & Printers window was renamed as "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)" - no longer named "Fax." I tried to print again. Once again, file was sent to the print queue but never printed.

Hi JDP86,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If your printer is wireless-capable, you should first add the printer to your network. Use the printer's control panel, or temporarily connect the printer to your Mac via USB.
