Cannot connect iphoto '08 to new Epson printer

I recently bought a new Epson DX8400 printer replacing the old HP printer but when I try to print photos from iphoto it still looks to print using the old HP printer. I loaded the setup CD without any problem restarted the Mac all seemed fine until I tried to print any photos, there is a print manager for the Epson but it does not see the iphoto program.
Please help before my wife and children ask to see the great quality photographs I promised with my new printer!
Thanks Peter

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Go into the System/Print and Fax preference pane and remove the HP printer from the list of available printers in the small window. Make sure the Epson is listed i the window. If not click on the "+" button and select your Epson model in the windows that come up. Reboot and try again.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • I can't print from iPhoto on my new Epson XP820 printer.  Any suggestions?

    I can't print from iPhoto on my new Epson XP820 printer.  I can print from other applications, like Word or Mail.  Any suggestions?

    Did you check software update or App Store to see if the printer is among
    those Epson models who may have an update download available now?
    Of course, some of these printers, even though wi-fi, may require the wire
    to set them up for first-use, to be identified. Both my Epsons appear twice,
    for wi-fi and again with USB. So I named each appearance, different. So it
    is possible to tell in more than one way, which setup that was selected. A few
    features do not correctly work in instances where drivers differ.
    The latest Epson update helped my newer computer connect to oldest Epson.
    Even though a 1.3GB huge Epson drivers file did not help, & OS X didn't see it.
    Hopefully the they included an adequate quick-setup guide, though that may
    have been for Mavericks, etc. Yet your iPhoto issue may be something else.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Peter,
    deggie gave you that link so you'd know that airprint is a reduced-options print system, designed for mobile devices (not Macs), and you need to use the specific airprint driver on the Mac when adding the printer if you want Airprint, no-options printing. Otherwise, select the "non-airprint" driver when you add the printer.
    It may be helpful to Reset the Printing System to get OS X to find the right driver.

  • I installed a new Epson printer. It doesn't print items from the internet. Trying to figure if it is a Firefox issue.

    Ever since I installed my new Epson printer I have been unable to print from the internet. All other printing works well. I am trying to figure out why. Could this be Firefox not recognizing the printer?

    If you need to merge bookmarks then you need to export the bookmarks to an HTML file and import that file on the other computer.
    Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML
    Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML : "From File"

    Hi
    On my macbook pro
    I'm try to set up a new Epson printer SX 445 to my router/network but each time I run the set up wizard it fails to complete saying Security Key/Password Check fail.
    *entered security key/password does not match the one set for for router.
    I know that the password is correct and have rechecked this by changing it a few times
    and I still get the same result.
    My network internet service provider is not interested and says to call Epson.
    Anybody have any clues how I can resolve this?
    Regards

    I personally suggest the new Drobo FS. Since it has an iTunes server built in and you can use any size sata hard drive in it it is better and a NAS that has to use the same size drives.

  • Photoshop CS2 crashing after installing new Epson printer

    I just installed a new Epson Workforce 323 all-in-one printer, and its working fine. yay!
    But now PS CS2 crashes on opening.
    Just Photoshop - everything else is fine - Illustrator, GoLive, InDesign, Safari, Mail, etc.
    I have a MacPro running OSX 10.4.11
    I have other Epson things - 2 printers (C88 and 2200) and a scanner (1240U), and they've never been a problem.
    The C88 printer died (I jammed paper in it, then had to rip it out, which messed up the print heads and all - otherwise it still 'worked', it was just all wonky), which is why I replaced it with this new Workforce 323.
    I was on the phone with Epson support and they had no clue about the PS issue.
    I had some guy online on "Just Ask" walk me through uninstalling drivers, etc. - also no help in the end.
    Apple didn't know either.
    So here I am.
    Is this a known issue with CS2 and Epson? Do I need to upgrade CS2? Is there a patch or something?
    Any help at all would be SO appreciated!!!
    Thanks in advance,
    Paula

    Thanks - A tech guy just left the house, and sure enough, there were some Twain driver issues. I have more than one epson device, and after deleting stuff, then downloading and installing new ones, photoshop is working. PHEW.
    My system pref folder was all corrupted too - very weird. Not sure what that was all about, but that's fixed too.
    I appreciate your suggestions!

    Hello Deryn340,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you're currently unable to connect to either the iTunes Store or the App Store on your iPad, then I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting steps outlined below.
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time. 
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update(iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    If the steps above didn't resolve your issue, be sure that your specific alert isn't listed as a possible iTunes Store error. Then, if your issue is still unresolved, follow these steps.

  • I am trying to install my new Epson printer on to my mac. I am the administrator. Help?

    I have just recently purchased an Epson Printer and was trying to install it via the disc as it is not network configured. However after selecting the install icon, logging in and confirming that I agree with the terms and conditions, the installation tells me that I need to log into an administrator account so that I am able to continue with the setup. I am the only user of my laptop and I am the administrator yet I can't get any further with this installation. Anyone know how to sort this? It's so annoying.

    iLife apps don't come preinstalled on new computers. Now, open App Store > Updates and accept iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand, so they'll be registered to your Apple ID and you'll be able to download them whenever you want

  • New Epson printer compatibility problem?

    Hello!
    I'm trying to set up a new printer for my parents, who have the iMac G4 running 10.4.11.
    My brother-in-law bought an Epson XP-200 Small-in-One printer.  On the Epson support page for drivers for this printer,
    I selected Mac OSX 10.4.x, and the available driver was Common Updater v9.0, epson14284.dmg.
    I downloaded this driver, installed it, and then Added the printer in Printer Setup Utility. 
    In Printer Setup Utility, the printer was recognized as: XP-200 Series.
    For Print Using, I selected Epson.
    A list of models appeared, and the XP-200 was not among them (no XP was listed).
    But every model listed had the same thing after the model name:  Gimp-Print v5.0.0-beta2
    So I selected the first model.
    The printer does print, but painfully slowly, with terrible output (pale print, and non-black text is rendered in multiple,
    different-colored, vertically shifted lines).
    It looks like the Utility function (for checking ink, e.g.) isn't available.
    Is this an issue of an insufficient driver for an "old" OSX? 
    Or have I not done the setup right? 
    Is there new printer that works easily and well with 10.4.11?
    Thanks!

    HI, sad as it is since Epson Printers really use the same  language since Atari days, (escP), no idea who to blame other than Apple  changing requirements without real need, but...

  • New Epson printer drivers for OS X 10.6.1

    Apple posted new drivers for SL 10.6.1, has anyone tried them yet to see if they help with SP2200 printing issues?
    Download link here

    True.
    Here's the process I went through to check out results from the Gutenprint driver on my system (SR Macbook 10.6.1).
    1) LR 2.4, Epson driver: I made a print with the old Epson driver, color managed by printer (you'll see why later), settings appropriate for Premium Glossy paper (what I printed on). RESULT - the icky green, contrasty image others have reported
    2) Updated LR to 2.5, Epson driver, everything else the same. RESULT: slightly warmer image but still icky green/contrasty
    3) Updated driver to Apple supplied Gutenprint linked to in my OP. Configured driver settings to appropriate to Premium Glossy paper. RESULT: very acceptable result, with further tweaking I could get it dead on.
    Note that the settings in the printer's dialog box with Gutenprint are quite different than the Epson driver. There is NO ability to turn off color management there. Click the Layout pull-down menu and choose "Printer Features" to make settings appropriate to your paper and then save them as a preset.
