Epson 740 wont install - not shown in USB drop down

Sorry to start a new thread here and I see this is an on-going problem. I have looked through masses of threads and think I have tried everything. To clarify; my old Epson 740 printer used to work fine, from my PB, until I stupidly wiped my hard disk and had re-instal everything. I have installed the Espon drivers from the OS X 10.4 install disk (optional installs). I get a drop-down for 'Epson USB' but no printers show in the list. I have tried deleting all drivers, both manually and using the Maxfixit PRINTER SETUP REPAIR, as advised here. However, nothing I do will make my printer show up in the drop-down from EPSON USB in the Printer Setup Utility
As said, I have looked here everywhere but it seems most people can see their printer in the drop down. Are there any other suggestions? I would give in and buy a new printer as this one is pretty old but I dont get the impression I'll be any better off. BTW, I have checked on the Epson site for latest drivers but the dont have any there for OS 10.4
Thank you kindly in advance

Thank you for your help. It works. I can't even say what I did that finally work but I tried a different cable and did fresh uninstal/install too. Anyway, again, thank you very much for your help people : )

  • Favorites exported from Internet Explorer are not available in Bookmarks drop down list as they should.

    Favorites exported from Internet Explorer are not available in Bookmarks drop down list as they should. Where can I find them?

    You can usually find the imported IE Favorites in a folder ("From Internet Explorer") at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks).
    If you can't find them in the "From Internet Explorer" folder then try this:
    Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export<br />
    Import the HTML file in Firefox 3: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

  • Illustrator CC - Tools not allowing access to drop-down options

    Illustrator CC - Tools not allowing access to drop-down options
    For example, I want to change the shape from rectangle to an oval, the press and hold on the rectangle shape (by default) will not give access to other shape options.  Or, for another example, the text tool won't allow access to type on path options.
    Can anyone help me out on this? I running a very new PC and Illustrator CC (latest copy).
    Thanks,
    BK

    BK,
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • SAP EXIT Processing Type not comin in the drop down

    Hi,
        The SAP Exit Processing type is not appearing in the drop down of the Variable processing types in the Variable wizard while defining the Variable.
    Regards,
    Virat

    Hi Virat,
    SAP Exit processing type is meant for Business Content variables only ( which are provided by SAP), if you want to create a variable & use exit in that, choose Customer Exit option.
    hope it helps

  • I was trying to make a purchase from Amazon & a return but FIREFOX would not let me open drop down boxes in the purchase & return areas. I was forced to use IE to accomplish the deed. Can you investigate the problem?

    Thanks for the welcome Karsten! I’ve checked the installer disks – which appear to have all the main pieces of software, but not iDVD. If you or anyone knows where it might be hidden that would be great. Thanks for all the other info too!
    Thanks Lennart – I don’t think my computer could support iLife ’05 as it is running Mac OSX 10.3.2 and I’ve just been looking at its system requirements which state it requires 10.3.4 minimum – if you know differently, please let me know. As an alternative I have considered getting iLife ’04, but your comment about iLife ’05 being the first version to support external drives worried me (“iDVD 5 is the first iDVD version that officially supports external burners“ does this mean there is an unofficial option for iLife ‘04? Perhaps a patch similar to the one mentioned by Karsten), does that mean iLife ’04 would not support an external Lacie DVD writer?
    What is the earliest version of Toast I’d be able to use (as a money saving option!)?
    Thank you both, and apoligies for my amateurish questions…

    Ever since I downloaded OSX 10.9.2 Mavericks, I can't email a link to a page.  It's not on the file drop down.  So how do I do that now???

    Check under File > Share
    OS X 10.9.3 is out. You need to update first and see if this brings back the option.

  • Itunes not showing elements 11 drop down list of albums and won't sync, says ïtunes cannot sync, required folder cannot be found. ï have tried re installing both but no success. pls help!!!

    Hi, Itunes won't sync my photos to ipad from elements 11. itunes doesn't show drop down list of albums and says Ipad "......cannot be synced, required folder cannot be found" i have tried re installing both programs but no luck. pls help!!!

    I managed to finally fix the problem in a relatively painless way. It turned out that the problem wasn't on my phone, the problem was with iTunes. I completely uninstalled iTunes from my PC and then reinstalled it and everything was fine.
    In order to completely uninstall iTunes, I did two things:
    Used RevoUninstaller to uninstall iTunes. This cleans out a bunch of extra things that the normal iTunes uninstaller misses.
    Searched for any iTunes folders/files on my computer (using the freeware utility called Everything) and deleted them manually.
    I hope that works for you.

  • I'm using Mac with OS 10.9.4 and Photoshop CC. I am unable to access "Focus Area Selection". When I go to "Select" on menu its simply not there in the drop down menu. Any help?

    How do I access "Focus Area Selection" in Photoshop CC on a Mac? It's not showing in the "Select" drop-down menu.

    Select > Focus area is in Photoshop CC 2014, not Photoshop CC.  So you must download and install CC 2014 to have access to this new feature.

  • Web UI - Value not getting selected from drop down list  .

    Hi  All ,
        I am facing a problem in one of the fields which is enhanced with a drop down functionality .
      I have created the GET_V_** method and also the GET_P_**  method for the same .And finally I am able to see the values in the drop down list . But the problem is , when I am trying to select a value from the drop down no values are selected .
    Can anyone plese help me in this as What has to be  done .
    I have taken references from few guides but I am not getting any clear idea of what has to be done .
    Regards,
    Ranjita

    Hi Ranjita,
                     To trigger a round trip, you must have given the event name in GET_P method.
    Same event handler would trigger.
      Please put a break point in Event Handler in IMPL class, and in SET_attr method of the attribute in CN class and see if value is getting set properly or not. Final value that would be displayed on UI would be there in GET_attr method of CN class.
      I hope it helps.
    Thanks,
    Rohit
