Epson Artisan 710 & IPhoto 9

Just installed an Epson Artisan 710 All-in-One and have it working wireless, only problem so far is printing from IPhoto 9. It is a "no-go". Keep getting error message and program shuts down. Any ideas?

I initially installed the drivers from the Epson web site based on Snow Leopard driver warning. I took your suggestion and "updated" the driver in system preferences and it now seems to be working fine. I have not updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.2 as of yet due to a major compatibility issue with a 3rd party software that we use a lot when we upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6. It was a royal pain in the butt!!! I'm ready to go through that again. Thanks for your help as always!!

Cannot print from Aperture v.2.1.2 to an Epson Artisan 800 printer

I recently purchased an Epson Artisan 800 printer and I would like to be able to print from Aperture. Unfortunately, I have been unable to do so, in spite of multiple conversations with the Epson support group. I am able to print from other applications, such as TextEdit, Safari, and iPhoto. However, when I try to print from Aperture, I never get any output from the printer. Depending on the image that I try to print from Aperture, I will see an error message flash on the printer's display screen.
I captured the following error message from the "system.log" file:
Jan 20 20:11:24 new-host Aperture[12196]: An instance 0xce644a0 of class RKPrintPreviewView is being deallocated while key value observers are still registered with it.

I am having this problem on both my iMac G5 and my wife's MacBook. Both are running the latest versions of Mac OS X (10.5.6) and the latest version of Aperture.
If anyone has been able to print from Aperture to an Epson Artisan 800 printer, please let me know how you did it. Thanks.

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:

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

The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor. When I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.

The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor. I just purchased my iMac for my photography business in Jan. (this is my first Mac). When I first tried printing, I noticed the quality wasn't as good as I expected it to be. Then, I had to print 4-3.5x5s on a sheet, so I e-mailed the image to myself and opened it on my PC to print it (much easier to print that way on PC in Windows Photo Gallery - I think it's impossible to print that way in iPhoto). That's when I first noticed that when I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.
I've already been on the phone and e-mail w/Applecare many times over this issue. We've tried creating a test user and printing from there, and we've tried reinstalling the OS. I've tried printing from iPhoto, ImageCapture, and Preview apps/utilities, all w/the same result - no comparison to the PC-printed versions (no enhancements have been performed on the PC).
I'm out of ideas, and so is Applecare. They say it's most likely a driver issue b/c the printer is outdated, and that the only solution is to buy a new printer. BUT it is a pain for me to purchase a new printer - it takes days of research due to the nature of my business and the fact that I need a printer that can print directly onto a disc. I love this printer and don't want to have to buy a new one if I don't have to.

Yes. I've checked for updates, and the driver I installed is the same as the one on Epson's website. I also spoke with Epson Customer Service, which was a dead end. Apple says the problem is due to an Epson driver issue (blaming Epson), but Epson says that with the older printers, it's actually Apple who creates the driver, so the problem is actually with Apple. Typical he-said, she-said...
Maybe not. Probably worth checking here:

Epson Artisan 700 and Epson PX700W (Europe) wireless on MacBook

Can someone please let me know if they have successfully installed the EPSON PX700W (which, I believe, is called the Epson Artisan 700 in the US and the Epson TX700W in Australia - the specs seem to be identical) on a Late 2008 aluminium unibody MacBook running OS X 10.5.8?
I need to buy a new printer urgently and this is my printer of choice, however, from the Mac forums that I see in Italy everyone is complaining that it doesn't work wirelessly on their Macs. Some say they can print wirelessly but cannot use the scan function wirelessly. It's important for me to be able to use the wireless function so that two computers on my AirPort network can use the same printer.
I would be very grateful if someone could let me know whether they have the above printer working wirelessly under 10.5.8.
Cheers
Tricia

To answer my own question..... I bought the Epson PX700W on Monday (aka Artisan 700 and TX700W) - the initial setup did not work so I uninstalled and reinstalled the software and it is now working flawlessly (and wirelessly) with my late 2008 aluminium unibody MacBook. I must add that the photo printing quality (direct from iPhoto) is excellent. I will be interested to see how long the inks last.

Can not get photos to print well on a Epson Artisan printer after OS X Yosemite

I have a Epson Artisan 730 Printer. After upgrading to OS X Yosemite all photos are printing poorly. Color is very red based and unreadable. I have upgraded the latest printer firmware. I have upgraded Printer drivers (not sure of the version). I have uninstalled and installed printers several times. Epson website implies they are committed to provided the latest support and drivers but does not say there is a problem. This all started after Yosemite. This is a problem printing from photoshop or printing a JPEG from preview or iPhoto.
I have completed the latest firmware (epson16787) and combined with Printer drivers (2.19) which has resolved the problem. I am posting this to lend help to other having the same issue.

There is definitely something wrong, but I couldn't tell you if it's your phone or your computer. I'm on 1.1.1 too and my phone still appears as a device in XP and behaves as it always has.
I can't recommend doing something Apple doesn't want you to do, *but if you are willing (as a last resort)* there is a way to access the file system directly and download the photo files in a way that is similar to how you would from an FTP site with FTP software.
It would require you to go to the site that puts installer on your phone. Once that is done install "open ssh" (to be able to connect to your phone and install "services" (to disable and re-enable ssh as needed for security purposes). Then use a program like winscp (works like other ftp programs but allows different types of connections - in this case an scp connection) to connect to your phone. The camera role is located in: \var\root\media\DCIM\100APPLE\. From there you can copy them to any location on your PC.
If you phone is showing up as empty when you connect it to your computer then there might be something wrong with the area the photos are stored in, or maybe it's too full. I don't know what the limit is or if there is a limit. Just bouncing around some ideas.

Epson Artisan 810 and Snow Leopard

Up until yesterday, a new Epson Artisan 810 all-in-one printer, connected direct to the Mac via USB, worked perfectly.
Now the printer queue icon appears, disappears and nothing happens. I am able to use the all-in-one's scanning feature via Image Capture, and printing seems to work on my 17-inch Early 2008 MacBook Pro.
So far I've gone through the repair disk permissions route and reset the printing system. I also reinstalled Epson's Snow Leopard printer drives. No change.
Another printer, an Ethernet networked Xerox Phaser 8560DN works fine.
I welcome the collective wisdom of this board to solve this problem before I go to Epson and have a headache.
Peace,
Gene

using iphoto on macbook with 10.6.2. Not able to print from iphoto. Get ijpcfoundation plugin error. have seen some posts and tried fixes described but no solution yet. Scheduled apple expert call and was told basically they didn't have a fix and might consider buying a new printer. This is my first mac product and switched from pc to avoid problems like this. Hard to believe that is the customer service you get from Apple.

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?

See here for Airprint-capable printers: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
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.

I have an HP Photosmart 8200 and and Epson Artisan 800 printer and neither one is showing up in my printer selection any more. How do I get these back?

I have a MacBook Pro that came with Mac OS 10.7 Lion on it, and had been printing on both an HP Photosmart 8200 and an Epson Artisan 800. I had an issue where I would print from Photoshop and every time I would print I'd need to make a new printer. I don't think that it was ONLY WAY, but it worked for me. Anyways, I finally got tired of scrolling down the list to choose the new printer – HP Photosmart 8200_23 – or something like that, so I deleted some of the printers that had extra numbers. This is where the print Print & Scan dialog in the system prefs has the little plus and minus. It turns out that I pressed the minus on everything - going overboard with my clicks. Now, I have NO PRINTER and each time my computer tries to download drivers from HP and Epson, they have no updates for me. When I go on there website there are no drivers for Mac 10.7. I have no idea how to get my printers back. Any ideas or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Erik Jurado

OS 10.6.4 compatibility with HP OfficeJet 6500 & Epson Artisan 700

Just purchased MacBook Pro and upgraded iMAC and Mac Pro on my local network to OS 10.6.4. iMAC is connected to local network via Ethernet, other computers and printers HP OfficeJet 6500 and Epson Artisan 700 connected via wireless. All went pretty good except for the two printers. You need to install Rosetta for some 3rd party software to work. It's on the OS 10.6.3 disk.
The HP OfficeJet 6500 is new. In the printer box was a notice to NOT use the enclosed CD's if using OS 10.6. HP manual was terrible. Key was getting the local network operating and then using HP printer keypad to select SETUP/NETWORK SETUP/WIRELESS SETUP WIZARD. It automatically found the name of my local network and then asked me to enter the WEP Key Code of my local network. For some reason the WIRELESS SETUP WIZARD didn't show up for the first day. Now have access to the printer from all computers - even duplex mode works.
Can't say the same for the Artisan 700 we've had for one year and was working good with OS 10.5. The only computer that could not access the Artisan 700 was the one connected via Ethernet to the local network (other computers wireless). Tried downloading Epson drivers, Network setup S/W, etc. Epson says there is a problem with TCP/IP connection and are "working on the problem" - in the mean time use Bonjour driver. I installed print drivers from OS 10.6.3 disk and then did Apple software update. Don't know why but suddenly Bonjour driver showed up and the Artisan printer was recognized by the computer connected to network via ethernet. Also had to manually set up the Artisan printer again using the printer keypad to select local network and enter the WEP Key Code. Duplex printing does not work though. Year ago when we bought the printer had to call Epson who after 1.5 hr on phone got duplex working, but didn't know why or how. I'd taken notes and tried same thing, but didn't work this time.
Perhaps this will help other people deciding to do an OS upgrade.

Thanks for response on the Epson duplex mode problem. I downloaded the updater, but it would NOT open after I installed it. The install created a second file called InkJet Printer 2 (original was w/o the 2). The updater tool is v 8.33 on the one just downloaded while the existing one was v 6.66, so definitely a later version. The v 6.66 gave message "unexpected quit", so it would not open either. Got same results on iMAC and MAC PRO. Do I delete the original InkJet printer file before installing the new download? Was afraid to as afraid driver would not work at all. What am I doing wrong???
When select duplex mode in the print window get message "duplexer not installed" on both computers.

Error message "auto duplexer is not installed" after a paper jam was removed on my epson artisan 837.

I print from a Macbook Pro (April '09) OSX 10.9.3 to an Epson Artisan 837 duplex all-in-one which has been functioning perfectly for some time. The other day while duplex printing I got a vague error message to the effect "printer error, turn off machine and power back on." I repeated that process several times waiting a period of time and/or doing it speedily. I even unplugged the printer from its outlet, turned off the computer, waited overnight and tried again, all to no avail. I then found the back tray had a paper jam which I removed and replaced the tray. Since this ordeal I have NOT been able to use the duplex function. After apple's air-print, an Epson Customer Service person told me to add a printer in Systems, printer preferences and to simply add in the same printer (only one i have) but choose not to have it be air-print. This worked even though it gave me Epson Artisan 837 and Epson Artisan 837II (the first with air-print the second not). I must be missing some step this time, however, because although I now have essentially 2 printer choices, the Epson II has duplex printing choices grayed out and gives me the error message "auto duplexer is not installed." Sorry to make this so long, but can anyone help me with this problem?

Thank you. Those are beautifully written procedures.
Looks like it's a network issue. I reach the step, "Adding a printer using the wizard":
You must enter the following URL, you must use the Queue Name you noted down earlier
http://<IP address of Mac>:631/printers/Queue Name
which I do, entering
http://192.168.0.4:631/printers/MP830
and I get the following error:
"Could not connect to the printer. You either entered a printer name that was incorrect or the specified printer is no longer connected to the server."
And then I am toast!
Using the other procedure, I simply don't see the Mac's printers in the Bonjour Wizard's "Browse for Bonjour Printers" window.
Not sure where to go from here -- any ideas?
The Mac's IP (set via DHCP) is 192.168.0.4, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The PC is 192.168.0.5, I can't find the subnet mask.
Pretty sure it's a network config issue, especially isnce I can Bonjour to my other Mac.
TIA...

In photoshop Elements 10 how do you calibrate colr/density output to Epson Artisan printers?

The colors printed by my Epson artisan printer, particularly the blues and greens, are not true to the photoshop colors, and the Epson prints are darker, denser, and have substantially less [punch than the screen images.I have tried about every setting there is onthe Epson printer drivers under abobe RGB, ICM, and Epson rpint options with little or no effect.

You'll want to read some very important information about Color Management to understand what your settings are doing and how to choose the correct ones, as well as making sure your computer is properly prepared.

Epson artisan 800 scanning

I'm running an iMac with OS X 10.9.4. Ever since this upgrade was installed I have not been able to scan from my Epson Artisan 800 over the network.
I can install the printer with it's IP and it shows up and prints just fine but the scanning utility says it can communicate to the printer, "Image Capture" doesn't show the scanner as a device, all epson utilities do not see the scanner at all. I've run the OS software upgrade and all I get is "No Updates Available".
I connected the printer via a USB and everything works great but I can't run it via USB because its on the other side of my office and no room close to my iMac besides, there is no reason it can't be run over the network.
I need some help getting this working again because my business uses this scanner quite a bit and right now it's NOT working. I've had to do my scanning elsewhere and this is not acceptable.
Thanks

Try resetting the printing system.

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

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?
