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.
Try Applications/Image Capture and VueScan.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Epson Print Driver v2.19: Epson Printer Drivers v2.19 for OS X

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.

Cannot print to Epson Artisan 725

Okay, the first time I set this thing up I was able to print wirelessly no problem. After restart, though, it refused to print at all--not via USB, Ethernet or wireless. It does, however, scan and save to my computer just fine. Epson of course feels this is a Mac software issue. After reviewing this forum, I tried a few things that seemed relevant, including:
--downloading and installing the newest driver
--adding the printer as an IP printer
--resetting the printing system
--trashing the Epson library folder
--restarting in safe mode and repairing permissions
--downloading and running Printer Setup Repair
--downloading the Gutenprint drivers
After this last, I can at least get a file to spool, but the queue says "network host is busy; will retry in 30 seconds..." When I use the old Gimp driver, it causes the printer to spit out a never-ending supply of blank pages.
It does show up when I ping it and in Bonjour.
One post mentioned 802.11g and 802.11n printing in regards to an Artisan 810, but I don't know what that means. Anyone have some other ideas? Am I just doomed?

Just checking, was this the driver you downloaded?

After upgrading to Maverick, my Epson Artisan 725 won't scan. Epson says software is on apple site, but where?

Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?
I'm getting a message that there is a communication problem, however, I can still print so I don't know what to do.
Why wasn't there a warning on the Maverick download, saying this would be not compatible!

Acrobat 9 fails to recognize (scanner) Epson Artisan 730 after Mac Pro and Mountain Lion Upgrade

I had no problems scanning from the Epson Artisan 730 all in one until I upgraded my Powermac G5 to a mid-2010 Mac Pro with Mountain Lion 10.8. The printer is installed with most recent drivers from Epson (the install disk will not work on 10.8 anyway). I can scan directly from the Print and Scan system preference under the scan tab of the printer and it prints fine from Acrobat. When I go to Document -> Scan to PDF, it brings up a dialog box in which the first input is box is Scanner: "Please select a device" with up and down arrows on the right. When I click on the up and down arrows, there are no selection options other that "Please select a device" with a check mark next to it. This printer is wireless, as is another Canon which also has a scanner and neither appear as available. Very frustrating. I have repeated the instalation process (for the Epson downloaded driver utilities) and it just is not seen.
If anyone has any workarounds or solutions, I would be grateful.

Of course now I have a red badge on the App Store that is asking me to update the Epson driver. I wonder if that will blow out the TWAIN driver. It's epson14333.dmg.
No. Your TWAIN drivers are separate than the Image Capture Device drivers that would be installed by the printer driver update.
Also, no way of getting rid of the badge notification in system preferences. App store is not listed.
There is no law that you must update software just because it is available. There is no way to get rid of the red badge, but you don't have to do the upgrade.

Filter failed, pdftopdf quit unexpectedly. Epson Artisan 700 on OSX 10.9.4.

When I try to print on my Epson Artisan 700, it says "filter failed" under the print job, and "pdftopdf quit unexpectedly" in the error message. I've tried resetting my printing system in System Preferences, it hasn't worked. I'm running OSX 10.9.4. Thanks in advance for any help, I'm at a complete loss!

What worked for me was downloading and installing this driver http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/16158/
Then reboot printer and it should work! Good luck :-)

Epson 3170 scanner drivers for Yosemite?

Hello
I tried to find my epson scanner 3170 driver in mac APP store as is suggested in epson web page:
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=25021&infoType=Down loads
But nothing from epson appears in my updates...
Anyone knows how to get the driver for epson scanner 3170 for Yosemite?
thank you

The OS doesn't download scanner "drivers." If the scanner is ICA compliant, you can scan with Image Capture. If it is not, or you wan to use Epson's (or anyone else's) software, you have to download it from them.
There is an ICA driver installed for the Epson Perfection 3170 as noted here: OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download - Apple Support

I am unable to scan on my Epson Artisan 730 since downloading yosemite

Since downloading Yosemite on my Mac Book Pro I am unable to scan on my Epson Artisan 730 printer. The printing function still works.

Did you add the printer using the AirPrint driver? If so, add it again using the Epson driver (by selecting the Epson driver in the "Use" menu in AddPrinter). If you don't have the Epson drivers installed, you can download them here:

Hope this helps.
