Epson 3880 printer doesn't connect with mountain lion

My Epson 3880 printer is connected to my Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion with a USB cable. Since changing to Mountain Lion, I have been unable to print. I've replaced the driver on the original software disc with the current driver shown on the Epson website with no improvement. The message I get tells me that the printer is "not communicating" with the Macbook. Any thoughts on how to fix this would be great.

Try deleting the /Library/Printers/Epson and /Library/Caches/Epson folders, resetting the printing system in Print & Scan prefs, then installing the printers from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398.
Hope this helps

Can anyone recommend a Multi-function black and white laser printer for that works with Mountain Lion? The MFP can be either 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 i.e with fax

I bought an epson xp650 a couple of months ago and cannot fault it. It does everything I require and it is the wifi model so I can print directly from my ipad/iphone. Not sure if you are asking about the colour of the unit or just to be able to print black and white, Obviously all printers will print black and white but just to give you a little more info the printer I bought is the white version and it looks really nice sat next to my imac 27''
Hope this helps.

HT3500 Problem printing from MacBook Air with Mountain Lion to HP Photosmart Premium C310a Printer

My HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer used to work fine with my MacBook Pro printer running Lion. I bought a new MacBook Air that comes of course with Mountain Lion. I added a new printer from the System Preferences. The printer will print sometimes. Sometimes the printer just restarts itself and then will print. I used to have an excellent HP Scan Utitlity. That is now gone and it is really hard to scan anything. I am beginning to think it is time to get rid of the HP Printer and buy another one that fully supports Mountain Lion. Can anyone help me here?

Hi - if you haven't done this already, HP support lists several download options including software for OS X for your printer - I would try that route since what comes with Mountain Lion doesn't seem to work - let me know how you make out

Epson duplex printing feature missing in OSX Mountain Lion?

I've had an Epson Workforce 840 for a year and have many times in the past printed double sided (duplex) When I recently purchased an Apple with Mountain Lion and installed the drivers for the printer the option to print duplex style is no longer available.
Here is an example from the Epson site on how to print in duplex from previous OSX versions but there is no comparable menu anywhere that I can find.
http://files.support.epson.com/htmldocs/wf840_/wf840_00ug/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/ html/wwhelp.htm?context=Epson&file=computer.12.17.html#1487059
I have tried to print from Microsoft word and the built in messenger. I am able to print just not double sided.
I am brand new to Apple computers so it is possible that I am missing a very basic solution but many Google searches and going through the menus 10x do not seem to have given me an answer. Thank You

I stand corrected. The location of the dropdown menu for that option is not in the same spot in Word. And when I found it it had another option listed as the showing option (ie it didn't say TextEdit or Word, but rather "Copies & Pages") I tried to print the same way in Messages and the showing option said "Layout".
It was just confused by the dropdown menus starting at different spots per each program and Word's having this dropdown menu right near the top of the print menu.
I am pretty sure that's all there is for now. I appreciate the answers. Being new to Apple after 15 years is a crazy feeling.

Slow internet connections with Mountain Lion

HughesNet, the satellite internet provider, has been installing its new, faster (10Mbps) service and has found that downstream speeds max out at around one Mbps only with OSX 10.8.2. All previous OSX versions and other OS's get the full 10Mbps speeds, but Mountain Lion does not. Apparently a Mac running Lion on the same home network as one with Mountain Lion will have 10x the downstream speed as the one with ML.
They are attempting to troubleshoot the problem and a technician says :
"We are continuing to investigate Mountain Lion's behavior. From the outside looking in, it is tough to diagnose somebody else's (Apple's) software. However, what we see is that for individual TCP connections, Mountain Lion stops sending ACK packets regularly, which causes pauses in downloads and overall reduced speeds. If you have multiple connections going at the same time, each is able to get about 1Mbps, so applications (or websites or speed tests) which use multiple connections are less affected.
There are a few kernel settings which can be adjusted on Mountain Lion which improve things, but not drastically. We are hesitant to publish those since they don't seem to address the underlying behavior of Apple's TCP stack - they just mask the symptoms by increasing some of the buffers."
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Has Mountain Lion changed some fundamental behavior that could be causing this problem?

Apple Support does not participate in ASC nor do they read these threads.
An AirPort Extreme is not a panacea for the phenomenon you describe, and whatever the problem is, it is not common enough to draw any conclusions. The number of variables that affect a wireless network is so large that a solution to your complaint from Apple Support will be elusive. Read this for one example: New Panasonic blueray player won't connect to my network if my iMac is running. Crazy things like that can drive you up a wall.
All I have to suggest is to break down your network to the simplest possible arrangement. "Hard reset" your Extreme or other router and configure it anew. Confirm one client works reliably and if it doesn't, fix it. Add a different client to the network and repeat. If you are fortunate you will find that adding device #3 (for example) breaks everything, and you will be one step closer to solving the problem.
Having an AirPort Extreme is convenient for participants here, since it reduces the number of unknowns. Third party routers just introduce an element of uncertainty and complicate troubleshooting.

Primera LX 400 Label Printer No Longer Working with Mountain Lion

Hi-
I upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion and most everything works OK except my Primera LX400 label printer. The error message I get when trying to install the driver is "Software for this printer isn't available from Apple. Contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software."
I contacted Primera but I haven't received an answer yet. Anyone else solve this problem with Mountain Lion and Primera Printers?
For those that depend on the Primera printers, you might want to wait before upgrading.

For those with the same problem, Primera says they will have new drivers up 7/31/12:

I decided to check a day early (7/30/12) and the driver for my LX400 is up and I was able to install and use it successfully.

HP Digital Filing function doesn't work with Mountain Lion....?!

My HP Officejet L7780 is an All-in-One with a fabulous feature of Direct Digital Filing allowing us to do a digital scan and filing into a folder on my Mac. It is operated entirely from the printer by a single button.
It works perfectly on my MBP with Snow Leopard.
On my new MBP with Mountain Lion this function does not work - (the printer cannot find the computer, or says it is not turned on or it is not accessible..) Applecare cannot explain it - the Apple Genius does not know how to fix it - HP washes their hands saying the printer is no longer Supported.....
I have a perfectly good printer/scanner/copier/fax - and i can still call a scan from my computer - but i can no longer send a file from the printer.
I've done all the software downloads, uninstalled and reinstalled all the MAC-OS and Printer software, 3 times - looked throughout the HP website for udpate drivers to work with OS10.8
Does anyone know how to fix it, please ?

Hi ShlomiL,
Thanks - i'm sure your answer is correct, it is totally consistent with the observed facts. but i ask myself WHY, oh WHY does Apple do such a short-sighted move to cut off legacy apps or legacy hardware forcing people either to not adopt their latest hardware/software, or waste totally good office equipment which is still perfectly workable.
As luck would have it, i have an MBP with OS10.6 for my business - i can do a Direct Digital file scan to it perfectly OK but my new Retina MBP which i use for all my personal finances, taxes etc is the one i want to use with the printer, at home.
I can get stuff from the scanner to my home MBP but have to do that poor workaround - and i refuse to be forced to trash a perfectly good 4 year old printer just to please some software re-designer.
Is there a work-around (hack ?) where i can download the old SMB file/driver into Mountain Lion and replace the SMBX version which comes with the new OS, please ?

Is Print Shop 2 compatible with Mountain Lion?

I'm considering buying Print Shop 2 (mainly for the purpose of printing labels, though I'm also generally looking for something to replace MS Publisher). I can't find out, though, whether the current version of Print Shop 2 is compatible with Mountain Lion. Does anyone know?

Go to the above link. Once you are there, scroll to the bottom of the page. Select Technical Support. You will get a pop-up that says Technical Support Request. Fill in your info. When you get to PROBLEM TYPE, select "Can't install, Not enough space message." Then send it. You will get a reply almost immediatly with the updated installation download. This should help you. My print shop works great now. Hope this helps.

My Airport doesn't function with Mountain Lion. Why?

I have an Airport 6.1., and it won't function with Mountain Lion. If this is a software issue, does anybody know if Apple have any plans to upgrade their software. Hopefully I won't need to buy a new Airport base station. I don't know how to contact Apple support directly without paying for it.

6.1 is a version of AirPort Utility....the software application in Lion and Mountain Lion that is used to configure Apple routers. This software is not compatible with older versions of the Apple AirPort routers.
It sounds like you have an older "round" version of the AirPort Extreme.....or.....an older version of the AirPort Express.
Can you provide more information so we can help? Once we have the info, we may have a possible workaround for you.
If you have an AirPort Express, look for the Model No on the side of the device and post back with that info. It will likely be either A1084 or A1088.

My printer does not work with mountain lion

I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and now my HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer does not work. I downloaded the required driver from the App Store but am still not able to connect. Is there actually a solution for this or do I need to find a way to downgrade my OS to one that is compatible with my printer?

From the HP site:
Compatible operating systems
Microsoft® Windows® 7, Windows Vista®, Windows® XP (SP3)* or higher (32-bit only): *Supports 32-bit only; Mac OS X v 10.5, v 10.6 or v 10.7; Linux (For more information, see http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html)
But then also on the HP site they have drivers for the printer for 10.8. See here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4142&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&s w_lang=&product=4323659#N194
I would try the driver from HP.

HP 3052 scanner doesn't work with Mountain Lion

So I upgraded MacBook Air to Mountain Lion and everything seems fine except I can't use scanner function on my HP 3052 AiO. The printer still prints OK but I can't see scanner anymore.
Can anybody help me?

Hi,
I affraid scanning is no longer supported for your product while using Mountain Lion, actually the same applies for any Mac OS X version starting from 10.6.
You may find this information stated in here:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03411613 #A2
You may try using an earlier software version (The latest version intended for 10.5), however it is not assured to work and you may try it at your own risk.
In order to install the previous software you may try following the workaround below:
Enter System Preferences > Print & Scan, select the LaserJet 3052 printer and click the Minus sign to remove it.
Download the Mac OS 10.5 software below by clicking the download button:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en &cc=us&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=1140784&swItem=ma-58935-1&prodNameId=114077 9&swEnvOID=219&swLang=8&taskId=135&mode=4&idx=0
Follow the installation by skipping the Setup Assistant till the installation will finish.
Perform the following steps in order to provide the Setup Assistant the right permissions to complete on Mountain Lion:
Open Terminal from the Utilities folder
Type “sudo “ (with space) in the Terminal.
Locate the HP Setup Assistant in folder Applications/HP LaserJet Software
Right-click (or CTRL+Left click) the HP Setup Assistant and choose “Show Package Contents”.
Open the “Contents” folder and then click “MacOS” folder. It should contain the Unix Executable File of HP Setup Assistant.
Drag the HP Setup Assistant (Unix Executable File) into the Terminal and press enter.
Terminal will ask for the password of the user.
After writing the password press Enter Button.
Now follow the Setup Assistant Steps to complete the installation.
Good luck,
Shlomi

Mobile Datastick HUAWEI E1221 doesn't work with Mountain Lion!

After updating from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion I have noticed that my mobile datastick doesn't work. The stick is recognized as virtual disc and I can only install the install.pkg. Then happens nothing. No window opens (as before). How can I connect to the internet now? Will there be new drivers for the E1221 or do I have to get another one? And if yes, which is supported by 10.8?
