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.

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?

Printer driver in Safari not compatible with Epson Artisan 730 printer

After being on the phone with Epson for 3 days, it seems as though Safari/Firefox/iMac is missing a driver for my Epson Artisan 730 printer. Does anyone know how to rectify this? The printer is brand new, operating with Lion and prints out gibberish, 30 pages at a time. Help!

First some people have had problems getting the printer drivers to update via software update, make sure you have the correct drivers as shown in this table.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669
To see what driver you have go to System Preferences > Print and Scan > into the printer utility and under the general tab you'll see the driver version.
To force an update delete the old driver

I just resolved a problem with our Epson Artisan 730 and print quality, turns out the USB drivers and WIFI drivers are VERY different and the USB drivers offer much better quality, more options in the print dialog for quality and color management.
If you already have the correct version of the drivers maybe a mac connected to the printer via USB can share the printer and then you can print with the USB driver. I know that's a pain since that's what we did before we got the 730 with WIFI.

Communication error with epson artisan 1430 printer

I used to be a Windows pc owner, and never had an issue with my Epson Artisan 1430 printer - Now i have a Macbook (OS X Yosemite 10.10.2) and my printer decides to have a communication error 1/3 the way through printing something .... I have used the Reset Printing System, I have deleted and reinstalled all software and drivers ... I don't know what else to do. My Printer is on a network so i can connect wirelessly .... Please if anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it...
<Email Edited by Host>

Most likely, the printer's Wi-Fi interface is malfunctioning or misconfigured, or else there is a bug in the software. Since this is a current-model printer, your next step should be to contact EPSON support.

Illustrator CS fails to communicate with Epson Artisan 800 Printer?

I've recently added an Epson Artisan 800 to my work station. It is recognized and prints from all applications with the exception of Illustrator. I make sure that all page set-up's and print set-ups on pre-print screen are set for the Artisan 800. When I send a file to print, the printer icon bounces and just as soon as the job title appears in the print que, it disappears, without ever communicating with the printer or sending the job.
Is there a compatibility issue with CS and the Artisan 800 that anyone knows about?
..... that is the old "CS", not 2. 3 or 4

I run 10.4.11 and am unfamiliar with that specific Epson. However step one with Epson troubleshooting is to do any OS updates then download and install the latest Epson driver, even if what you are using is current. The new install will simply install over the old installation. Repair Permissions via Disk Utility immediately before and again immediately after both the OS updates and the printer driver installation.
Once good Epson paper and a new driver installation are done the final step is to carefully follow Gary Ballard's excellent color management tutorials:

Good luck!

P.S. Epson tech support for consumer printers has always been worse than useless. Specialized support for the pro printers is pretty good.

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.

I am using an epson artisan 835 printer wifi compatible is it also capable to use with my iPad? How do I set it up to print documents from my iPad?

I am using am Epson Artisan 835 printer, wifi compatible . Is it also capable to print (AirPrint) from my ipad? Where do I get an email address for my printer?

Your printer isn't on the list but you may be able to print with Epson's app or other print apps from the App Store.

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.
-Doug

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

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 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.

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.

I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It quits when the Twain portion of the program starts loading. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer will work with Photoshop??

I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It closes every time it gets to the point where it is loading the Twain portion. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer and Photoshop will work together? Thanks for any help I can get!

You're welcome.
But, no, don't look to Epson for fixes to their driver in newer versions, and Adobe has deprecated the TWAIN plug-in. Hoping for a solution there is futile. That has not happened and it's never going to happen. The consensus is that it's pretty foolish to tie up Photoshop to scan. Honestly.
Any improvement in the behavior of newer versions of the Epson drivers in that regard would be pure coincidence.
You need to understand that you never, ever scan "within" Photoshop, as Photoshop has no scanning capabilities whatsoever. When you use the Import > Twain plug-in all you are doing is blocking Photoshop while you call up the stand-alone Epson scanning software. If you think about it, its most inefficient.
VueScan has a pretty powerful scanning plug-in that can be called from the Impost menu—if you insist. VueScan is not free, but it's a pretty good value, IMO.
As for the Epson CD printing software, I have no clue. Sorry.

Epson Artisan 730 Printer and iMac

I have installed a new Epson Artisan 730 printer onto my iMac running Mac OS X ver 10.7.5. When I try to print documents from Mail or Adobe Reader X Version 10.1.4 the printer spits out a blank page. I can print from Word and Excel with no problems.
