Communication error with Epson Stylus C63 with Airport Express

I have a brandnew iMac running 10.5.2. Set up my Airport Express and got the wifi to work in the house. Now I am dealing with remote printing. Printer is plugged into the port on the Airport Express, I see it in the Printer tab of Aiport Utility, I see it in the printer dialogue... but whenever I print I get "communication error with printer". I have unplugged the Airport Express, restarted computers, to no avail.
What am I missing?? Thanks in advance for any tips.

I solved this problem! After lots of searching I ended up at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5692363 Printer setup utility in Leopard which gave the tip to reset the printing system... I did, and then somehow the Epson printer showed up as a Bonjour printer (which I had tried to do in the Airport utility but it would not let me because the name was too short or something strange like that). PageSender Fax showed up also and I just printed a document remotely...
Hope this helps someone else.

  • Issues with HP Designjet 110plus, HP Deskjet 9300 & Epson Stylus c63

    I recently updated my office and bought an iMac and a MacBook, along with an AirPort Extreme. Since then I've been having issues with the following printers that I've been using for a while:
    HP DESIGNJET 110PLUS
    HP DESKJET 9300
    EPSON STYLUS C63
    Basically from time to time the printers either don't want to print or print incomplete stuff, also for some reason I cannot see the Supply Levels from the computer (System Preferences). I tried both with the printers connected to the AirPort Extreme and directly connected to the computer.
    After checking some stuff I read that Leopard already comes with the drivers for those printers (so it's not like I have to update drivers; they should be compatible with Leopard).
    What could I do to fix these issues?

    Adrian,
    Apple released an update on all the available HP drivers July 15 2008. I would recommend downloading and installing this so you have the most up-to-date drivers:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/hpprinterdriver11.html
    After you have done that then go to Preferences, Print and Fax and then click the minus sign for each HP printer you have installed. Once you have removed the HP Printers you need to add them back in with the new drivers. Simply click the plus sign and add your printers back in. This should do the trick.

  • Problems with Epson Stylus 3000 IP Ethernet

    Problems with Epson Stylus 3000 IP Ethernet

    The printer has not worked since Tiger.

    Can you please help me....
    I can't seem to get the Print Set up utility to find the Epson Stylus 3000 Gimp.
    I installed the GimpPrint Drivers that were on the Tiger 10.4.3 install DVD after I installed 10.4.3, and then updated 10.4.3 to 10.4.5.
    When I first installed 10.4.3, I didn't install the GimpPrint Drivers. I went back to the DVD after updating to 10.4.5, and then installed the GimpPrint Drivers.
    Can you please help me out in what I'm doing wrong. Everytime I try to find the Epson Drivers an "error:-50" comes up in the Printer Browser under IP Printer section.
    Here's what I'm doing:
    - I go into Printer Setup Utility
    - I choose Add Printer
    - I choose IP Printer
    - I choose Line Printer Daemon - LPD
    - I pop up the "Print using" and select the "EPSON".
    - Then I choose "EPSON Stylus Color 3000 - Gimp-Print v5.0.0-beta2
    - THEN I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE POP-UP! "An error occurrd while trying to add the selected printer. Error:-50"

  • Using Lightroom for Windows 8.1 with Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer.

    Using Lightroom for Windows 8.1 with Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer.  From PRINT section, if I click either "Page Setup" or "Printer" I get the Epson printer dialog box, drill down, change settings- so far so good.  When I'm finished with the settings and close the dialog box (hit OK) the print job starts immediately; I never get a chance to hit the Lightroom "Print" button.  Question: does this bypass any Lightroom processing or control of the print job?

    Even if I just click the Printer button to verify my settings I should then return to Lightroom, and then click Print to start the job.  This does not happen, the job starts as soon as I close the properties dialog box.  Again, is any Lightroom processing or control being bypassed because of this?

  • Impossible to scan with à MP610 canon and a Airport express

    I print with à canon MP610 on a Airport express, but it is impossible to scan withit.
    help me .....

    Sorry, but Canon and other manufacturers have not provided full featured drivers to allow advanced functions when their devices are connected to the USB port on the AirPorts......which is how I assume that you are connecting.
    If you need advanced features like scan, copy, fax, maintenance etc., you will need to connect the All-in-One directly to your computer.
    You might want to contact Canon Support directly to ask them if they plan to offer full featured drivers in the future.

  • ITunes shows time out error when trying to play on Airport Express.

    Time out error when trying to play on Airport Express. This started with an iTunes update, problems has to be with iTunes, Airport Express appears to be communicating fine, even shows when speakers are not connected.

    Same here, though on XP. Have tried cleaning registry, reinstalling, deleting preferences. Created a new user with no library and I have the problem there, too, so it's not the library.
    Is there no one to call about this??

  • Problem with "Epson Stylus SX110 (or SX115)" and the Airport Express

    Hello,
    I connect my printer on my airport express, via wifi connection. And the airport express doesn't recognize the printer (via the airport express utility)
    When I connect my previous printer (a canon), it works well.
    Thanks if you met this pb, to help me

    Hi All,
    I have intel based macbook pro running OSX 10.6.2, airport express with a connected EPSON Stylus SX115.
    I discovered two issues with using the printer via my Airport Express:
    1. I had to use the driver called 'Epson Stylus SX 100'. It ships with the op system. (note: NOT the 'Epson SX 100' !!! There is also one called like that, but it does not work for me...). When I tried to use the sx 110 driver, the printing stopped half way. Strange enough the sx 110 driver works ok when the printer is connected via a USB cable
    2. Now the more annoying problem.
    It takes ages before the airport express discovers the printer!!! After I scanned via an USB cable, I reconnected the printer to the Airport express. Printing was dead. Next I followed the Apple provided troubleshooting (restart sequence, etc). No success, the airport still couldn't find the connected printer, so I was getting really ******…..
    The solution I propose, as it worked for me already more than once on my macbook pro, is the following:
    1. Connect the printer to the Airport Express, switch the printer on and, and restart AE via the AE utility (Just to make your consciousness rest.):
    - Start Airport Utility: you can find the program by typing the name in spotlight
    - right click on the on the Icon of your Airport Express on the right of the window
    - Issue a restart (It takes some seconds to complete!)
    2. WAIT! As annoying it is, it takes about 15-30 min before Airport express discovers the printer.
    3. In System Preferences/Print&Fax add the printer: (NOTE: This is an optional step, in case the printer is set up the first time, otherwise skip to step 5. )
    - On the right, at the bottom of the Printers sub window, click on the + sign. This opens the Add Printer dialogue
    - In the Add Printer dialogue you should be able to see now your Epson printer discovered by Bonjour. Highlight it by clicking on it. (If you don't see your printer, you might have been impatient and waited to little after you connected the printer to the airport express, or you have some problem I did not have…)
    - At the bottom open the 'Print Using:' drop-down box, and choose the 'Select Printer' option. This opens a new dialogue. Scroll down to 'Epson Stylus SX 100 - Gutenprint v5.2.3'. Click on it, and press OK. This closes the 'Select Printer' dialogue
    - Back at the Add Printer dialogue, change the name of your printer to something more meaningful, to 'Epson SX 115 - Wireless' for example.
    - click ad
    4. Back at the Print & Fax dialogue, now you should see a new printer icon on the left with the name you just gave, and with an icon that does not look at all like your printer.
    5. Congratulations, you are done. You should be able to print now.
    I hope it helps

  • How can I fix my MacBook Pro losing wireless connectivity with Epson Stylus NX625 printer.  It will work once and then I get an error saying the printer is not connected.

    I can connect to my Epson Stylus NX625 through my wireless network and print a page or two, but then the next time I go to print it says that the printer is not connected.  Any fixes?  I have tried deleting the printer and re-adding it to my MacBook Pro OS X version 10.9.4, but sometimes it doesn't even find it, and other times it says it is connected, but when I go to print it says not connected.  Very frustrated.  I have also installed the latest drivers, etc.
    What now?

    Your computer is going to run hot while playing CPU/GPU intensive games - it should heat up and the fans should be noticably loud. As to why it's 'crashing' - can you post a kernel panic log? You may have some third-party kexts that are causing the problems.

  • Can't scan with Epson Stylus DX4450

    Hi everybody.
    I'm trying to configure my Epson Stylus DX4450. Printing works like a charm, but scanner is not. I tried to configure it as it was suggested on various websites. I've installed sane, xsane, iscan (from http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686) also I've downloaded iscan-plugin-cx4400 from Avasys website, extracted it with rpmextract ant put the library to /usr/lib/iscan.
    When I try sane-find-scanner it shows:
    # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
    # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
    # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.
    # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
    # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
    found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [Language Error], product=0x083f [Language Error]) at libusb:002:010
    # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
    # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
    # Not checking for parallel port scanners.
    # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
    # can't be detected by this program.
    # You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you
    # found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as
    # necessary.
    When I try scanimage -L it's idle for about a minute and then it shows:
    No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
    check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
    sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
    which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
    But when I try it again it shows:
    device `epkowa:libusb:002:010' is a Epson flatbed scanner
    Then if I try sane-find-scanner again it will show no language errors:
    found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x083f) at libusb:002:010
    xsane will check for available devices for some time, then it shows a message, that no device is available. iscan shows a message "Could not send command to scanner. Check the scanners status". Sometimes iscan will launch, but I can't scan, because it will show me the "Could not send..." error message.
    Device usually turns off when I try xsane. Two times xsane launched, but Epson turned off right after it. It also turns off sometimes when I try sane-find-scanner second time or when I try to launch iscan.
    I read that there can be a conflict between sane and gphoto, moved /etc/udev/rules/54-gphoto.rules and restarted udev - still didn't work.

    # See sane-epkowa(5), sane-scsi(5) and sane-usb(5) for details.
    # SCSI scanners can be configured simply by listing the path to the
    # device. For example, if your system claims to have a /dev/scanner
    # SCSI device, all you have to do is uncomment the following line:
    #/dev/scanner
    # In the interest of maintainability, most installations would have
    # /dev/scanner sym-linked to the real SCSI scanner device node.
    # An alternative way that works for many operating systems and is a
    # little bit more generic, is to have the backend probe for your SCSI
    # scanner with the following configuration command:
    #scsi EPSON
    # On systems with libusb, the following line is sufficient to get the
    # backend to recognise your USB scanners. It presumes, however, that
    # the scanner---more precisely, it's USB product ID---is known to the
    # backend.
    # For all USB scanners that are officially supported by this backend,
    # this presumption is true. A list of such scanners can be found in
    # sane-epkowa(5).
    usb 0x4b8 0x83f
    # For any USB scanner not known to the backend (yet), you may, at your
    # own peril(!!), force the backend to recognise and use it via libusb.
    # You can do so by the following configuration command:
    # usb <USB vendor ID> <USB product ID>
    # SEIKO EPSON's USB vendor ID is '0x04b8' (without quotes). In order
    # to find the USB product ID, use lsusb(1) or, on Linux systems, peek

    Almost solved.
    First I've copied files extracted from iscan-plugin-cx4400.rpm from /usr/lib/iscan to /usr/lib/sane. Didn't work.
    Then I've checked version of iscan with yaourt and it appeared that aur have newer version than the one from archlinux.fr repo. I've built it, moved epkowa.conf.pacsave to epkowa.conf and it worked once.
    sane-find-scanner output was the same, with language errors, but scanimage -L showed that it found my scanner (don't have the exact output - it was different than before). xsane still didn't found the device but I managed to preview and scan to file printer test page with iscan.
    When I tried it for the second time, sane-find-scanner output was the same, but scanimage -L didn't recognised the scanner. iscan didn't work. Tried to restart the device - still the same.
    Tried to turn off the scanner, restart udev, start scanner again. Didn't work.

  • Can't  print more than once with my epson epl-5800L  and airport express

    I recently bought an airport express (b/g) in order to use it with my epson usb printer epson epl-5800L. I'm running mac os X leopard 10.5.7 on my macbook pro (2.4 ghz). The printer is plugged into the airport express (firmware 6.3).
    My problem is the following : i can only print one job (one document), after that if i want to print a second document, the printer don't accept the print job...and the print status windows shows the following message "Unable to open device (read failure)!". The only solution to get it printing again is to reset the Airport.
    I downloaded and reinstalled the last 10.5 driver from epson site, this didn't result in any success, the problem remain, it's even worse now the application office word quit unexpectedly if i try to print through airport express. The error message say "The application escpageASTool quit unexpectedly".
    The problem seems only related to airport express via Bonjour protocol, because if i connect the printer directly to the usb port of my macbook pro i can print without troubles. Also, as reported from many forums Tiger 10.4 seems not concerned by this problem.
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,

    I found this statement - +"Note: AirPort Base Station and Time Capsule printer sharing is for printing only, not for printer utilities or other special features that may require a direct proprietary connection."+ within http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1253. Not sure if it pertains exactly to your issue.

  • Upgraded to Mountain Lion and CS3, I am no longer able to access the correct dialog box for fine printing with Epson Stylus Photo 1400.

    I have recently upgraded my Mac OS to Mountain Lion, and am using Photoshop CS3 together with Lightroom 5. To my absolute horror, in either Adobe program I am no longer able to access the dialog box which allows me to choose paper type, size, and print quality when attempting to print on my Epson Stylus Photo 1400. An excruciating hour on the phone with largely unintelligible folks at Epson seemed to prove the problem lies with Adobe instead of Epson. I'd greatly appreciate whatever advice might be forthcoming from the Community.

    Well, this seemed to work.. can't believe it! After a year of messing with this!
    from Stevejones5
    "I found a way around this problem. GO to HD/Library/Printers/Epson/InkjetPrinter/ICCProfiles and you will find a file labeled Pro38.profiles. This is a package file. Control click on it and reveal contents. Then you can copy all the profiles and paste them into your Colorsync folder either in the HD/Library folder or your own Home folder/Library. Then the profiles will show up in Photoshop and Lightroom."
    Key, is to Control click on the printer to "Open contents". Then open Resource folder. Copy everything in it and then paste it into the "Colorsync" folder in your Library.  (Remember, to get to Library you have to hold the command key down for it to appear in "Go" Menu for Finder.
    Then I reinstalled printer driver from Apple, then rebooted computer, then plugged in printer. And VOILA-- I can now select Epson Premium Photo Paper Luster!

  • Bonjour with Epson Stylus Pro 4800

    I can't connect the Epson Stylus Pro 4800 with Bonjour.
    Bonjour detects the Printer but after a few seconds there comes this message:
    Error: -9672

    Shame on me! :-O
    Still... it seems the -9672 error is attributable to the Printer in all the cases I've found, but a very few have been able to cure it by downloading the Instaaller/Driver from the Manufacturer, rather than using the ones on the CD.
