Cannot print to Epson Artisan 725

Okay, the first time I set this thing up I was able to print wirelessly no problem. After restart, though, it refused to print at all--not via USB, Ethernet or wireless. It does, however, scan and save to my computer just fine. Epson of course feels this is a Mac software issue. After reviewing this forum, I tried a few things that seemed relevant, including:
--downloading and installing the newest driver
--adding the printer as an IP printer
--resetting the printing system
--trashing the Epson library folder
--restarting in safe mode and repairing permissions
--downloading and running Printer Setup Repair
--downloading the Gutenprint drivers
After this last, I can at least get a file to spool, but the queue says "network host is busy; will retry in 30 seconds..." When I use the old Gimp driver, it causes the printer to spit out a never-ending supply of blank pages.
It does show up when I ping it and in Bonjour.
One post mentioned 802.11g and 802.11n printing in regards to an Artisan 810, but I don't know what that means. Anyone have some other ideas? Am I just doomed?

Just checking, was this the driver you downloaded?

  • Wireless printing (Epson Artisan 725) and multiple networks

    Hello. After spending the better part of a day trying to get the wi-fi printing to work on my new Epson Artisan 725 all-in-one, I finally realized the problem is this:
    My MacBook Pro (with Snow Leopard) is connected to my home office network via ethernet and my home/family network via the AirPort card. This has never posed a problem before, and I've been able to print to the USB printer on my wife's MacBook, for example, just fine.
    I wasn't able to properly configure this wireless Epson (on the family network) until I unhooked the ethernet cable from my MBP, and it won't print unless I do that, either.
    So I could switch the printer to my office network, but then my kids won't be able to print to it. Not the end of the world, but is there a way I can be connected to both networks and use this printer?
    Esoteric problem, I know. Thanks for any advice.

    My name is Syd and I work for Epson America, Inc.
    Unfortunately, the printer can not be on 2 networks at the same time. You would need to use the printer control panel and connect to each network whenever you wanted to change. Using the ethernet cable would not allow any wireless access. The only thing we could recommend would be to connect to one network hardwire or wireless, and if the other network has only one computer, connect this USB. The printer will do network and USB simultaneously.
    We would recommend contacting technical support via phone if there are any questions or they can provide a walk through of the installation. The direct number is 562-276-4382.
    Here to help,

  • Cannot add my new Epson Artisan 725 to my printers list.

    Hello,
    I have a problem, i just bough a new Epson Artisan 725. The wireless set up works perfectly. But when it comes to add it to my printer list. It doesn't work.
    A window pop up, telling me that there is a software available for this printer from Apple. I accept and it starts to look for the software. But suddently an error message appear telling me that the printer's software is currently not available. And to contact the manufacture of the printer.
    I've been on Epson's website, and download a whole bunch of drivers, nothing works...
    I'm getting irritated with this printer...
    Can someone give me the solution ??
    That would be amazing !
    Thanks.
    Matt

     Hi again
    You really are very helpful.All this is taking your time up so sorry
    I followed your instructions to the letter and everything came up ok as far as the bit when I reached the 'admin' PW
    then I kept getting a pink error page and couldnt go any further. Im sorry to be such a pain.
    It seems it is requesting a user name which I ignored but once I add 'admin' it blocks me.
    Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
    IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
    If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
    If you get 4 replies then,try to adjust the browser settings...Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...
    Now,go to start>>>run and in the run box type http: "//192.168.1.1" without quote and hit enter.Now,it will prompt you for username and the password.Leave the username blank and type admin in the password.
    Thanks Peanut

  • HT4628 My Epson Artisan 725 prints just fine but, when I tried to scan it seems not to be connected. I downloaded the scanner driver but I don't see it. And I can't find where to verify settings.

    I'm having trouble scanning with my Epson all in one. I downloaded the scanner driver and tried a couple of things through epson support. I can't seem to find the driver on my Mac anywhere. I tried to download it again but still can't locate it. My printer is an Epson Artisan 725. The driver for the printer looks to be a 720.

    I have same issue - have you solved this yet?

  • Just installed snow leopard/ now my Epson artisan 725 will not print

    I downloaded snow leopard( so i could transer my i tunes to mynew ipod(7) onto my macbook.( older original macbook 5+yrs)
    what do i have to do to make my Epson artisan 725 wireless printer communicate with my laptop again.( my mac os is 10.6.8   )  i do not see the 725 on the list of compatible printers .  

    Snow Leopard is not a download. Did you install it from disk? What OS did you have before?
    You may want to check on Epson's web site to see if they have an updated driver.
    Best of luck.

  • Epson Artisan 725 Arthic White - Not able to print wirelessly

    I just got an Epson Artisan 725 and I'm amazed with the quality of the print job the downside is that even tough I have already done all necessary updates I'm still not able to print wirelessly. When I try to ad it on my printer's list I can not find it! Also, I realized that the manual of the printer is really poor on explanation and it is missing information about it.
    I have a MCBP 15 running Mac OS X v10.6 wirelessly connected on a linksys router as the printer is also. The printer finds the wifi and connects to it susccesfuly but I still not able to find it!
    If somebody can help me I really appreciate it!
    Thank you in advance for any help!

    I'd suggest going to the Epson website and checking/downloading the manual for your model; when I set up my Artisan 810, there were specific instructions on how to install it (both wired and wirelessly) - the wireless install included steps such as connecting it via a USB cable first and then disconnecting the cable at some point during the install process. Also, I had to enter the printer's MAC address on the router's website - if your model is similar to mine, you can get the MAC address by checking the setup settings on the LCD panel.

  • Documents stuck in queue with Epson Artisan 725 Printer

    I just bought an Epson Artisan 725 all-in-one printer, replacing an Epson Stylus Photo R200.
    I dutifully ran the install CD. The printer is found on the Airport Network. The iMac G4, running 10.4 can print. Neither the iMac G5 or the MacBook, both running 10.5.8 can print. Documents, including the test page, get stuck in the queue, with a status of "stopped," and can't be requeued.
    I get the infamous error: (/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacO S/rastertoescpII) stopped with status 206!
    which I can "catch" and copy from the print queue. Or I can see it in the CUPS error log.
    I've tried all kinds of uninstalling, reinstalling, reinstalling upgraded drivers from the Epson site, repairing disk permissions. I even got all the way up to the Epson second tier of support.
    They say it's an Apple problem, and I have no AppleCare.
    I would upgrade to Snow Leopard on the MacBook if I knew this would fix the problem. I'm going to do that anyway. But I will still need the iMac G5 to print also.
    What could I try that I haven't?

    Not good here. I've been at it for two days to no avail.
    I have an old G3 iBook; it networks with the Artisan 725, and I can even capture a scan. The printer works fine with my PowerBook G4, but anytime I try to print from the iBook the job queue stops and will not resume. I've run to the end of tech support, reset the Printer Setup Utility, I've deleted and reinstalled the driver and utilities more times than I can count. I even erased reformatted and reinstalled the hard drive, logged on from alternate accounts, even went at it with the fixya mac Printer Setup Repair app. Nothing seems to work.
    I'm guessing that it's just time for a new computer, but dang-it there's nothing I've run across that says it's impossible to use the Artisan 725 with a G3. Anybody with a suggestion would be rewarded with my undying gratitude.

  • LR & Epson Artisan 725

    Just installed LR 5.2 on a Win8 machine w/ Epson Artisan 725 printer.  LR will not allow borderless printing (can not set margins to zero) even though the printer is capable.  Any ideas?

    No, that seems to be the problem, it will not allow margins to be set below .1 which leaves a fine white line around the picture.  I'm posting for a friend whom I help set up LR for yesterday so I don't have access to the printer/laptop right now and I am not familiar with her printer.   We installed from disk 5.2 and later updated to 5.6 (which I did not oversee) so perhaps the problem has been resolved by the update.  I'll know more tonight.  Thanks for your help. 

  • Epson Artisan 725 scanner fails under Yosemite

    Thought I'd tested everything important before upgrading to Yosemite, but when I went to use the scanner on my Epson Artisan 725, the scan driver fails with error message "Scanner is warming up." It never gets beyond this point. Scanner works fine from my backed up Mavericks system. I went to Epson's web site looking for a driver update & found a popup notice regarding Yosemite which states that Apple is responsible for the Epson drivers via software update. My Yosemite system is all up to date. So it appears Apple dropped the ball here. Suggestions appreciated.

    Apple only distributes what Epson gives them. They don't write the drivers.

    Help

    I'm so embarrassed.  The reason I was having trouble printing is because I did not install the latest print driver from Epson for Mountain Lion 10.8.1.   I thought of this in the shower and tried it and now everything is fine. 
    I hope I didn't send anybody on a wild goose chase.

    Hi
    1. Click on the Apple logo at the top left corner of the screen and select System Preferences.
    2. Click on Printers and Scanners pane.
    3. You need to highlight your printer on the left hand side and remove it from the list by clicking on little "-" button
    4. Click on little "+" button and add it back.
    You may also try to reset printer settings

  • Help!! Cannot print to Epson 4900 using PS-CS4 on Mac 10.8.4?

    My new MacBookPro using Photoshop CS4 prints just fine to my Epson 2400 and 1900 however when using my new 4900 I click "print" and the printer icon bounces once in the dock and then disappears.  The printer then gyrates and makes noise but puts out no image.  I can print documents and images from Preview and Pages and the web on the 4900 so I know the printer can print.  I have reloaded CS4 several times from my disc and the Epson driver several times to no avail. The Epson tech guy says what appears obvious, that the printer is working fine but that PS cannot communicate with the 4900. Has any one had this experience and were you able to solve the problem?

    You're having a problem with the printer driver.
    Deleting and reinstalling the printer in the OS controls may help.
    Otherwise you need to contact Epson.
    Photoshop does not communicate with the printer, ever.
    The driver code communicate with the printer.
    Photoshop communicates with the OS, and the OS communicates with the driver.
    And you're having a problem with the driver.

  • Cannot print to Epson 1280 AEBS

    Help!
    I cannot seem to print to my Epson 1280 through my Extreme Base-station (firmware 5.7). The print center sees the printer via rendezvous, I can add the printer successfully, but whenever I print, it times out on "Looking for Epson 1280" and returns the error "could not communicate with the printer".
    I have tried resetting the base-station and printer.
    It does not work from either my ibook g4 or powermac g4 (both run 10.4.5 but the powermac has a standard airport card).
    Any thoughts?
