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.

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,

Epson Artisan 800 support in Snow Leapard

Hi. I was wondering if anyone upgrading to SL has the Epson Artisan 800 printer. The Epson site indicates that they don't yet have compatible drivers for SL, but the Apple Support Site lists it as being supported with drivers included in SL. I would like to upgrade to SL, but can't give up my printer. P.S. currently the printer is network connected to three systems.

Until recently, I had difficulty with wireless wifi scanning on the Epson 810 Artisan under Mac OS X 10.6.1. Wireless printing worked fine, but scanning did not. For those looking for wifi scanning, I'm pleased to report that it now works after installing the most recent updated drivers released 10/9/09:
Epson Printer Drivers for Mac OS X v10.6.1 2.1
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/epsonprinterdriver sformacosxv1061.html
It is suggested you download the drivers, then remove and re-add the printer under System Preferences > Print & Fax, after which the scanning functions are accessible.

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:

Can't Duplex print from Acrobat Pro 9.3.2 to Epson Artisan 800

I can not duplex Print from Acrobat Pro 9.3.2 to an Epson Artisan 800.
I an running it from a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.6.3
I called Epson support and they could not help me.
However they suggested that I try using Adobe Reader.
Well that works OK if I choose to print the document as an image, but I would prefer to just be able to work within Acrobat Pro.
Does anyone outthere have any settings within Acrobat Pro that would enable duplex printing?
Thanks

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

Epson Artisan 800 can't scan over the network (wireless)

Hi,
I installed the Artisan 800 all-in-one drivers and software. I can print wirelessly. I looked up Epson scanning setup help. When I open Epson Scan Settings.app, click on "Network", but all the buttons are disbled (unclickable). Therefore, I cannot click "Add" and all the subsequent steps. I tried adding the app to the "incoming allowed" list in Firewall, disabled the Firewall entirely, but to no avail. Funny thing is, it was working a couple of months ago when I had the printer new, but since then I have installed a couple of OS X updates (I believe I had 10.5.5 when it was working). In the intervening period, I also messed around with the OS X supplied Printer drivers (deleted a whole bunch of files, not sure if some required files were deleted), and I noted that the recent 10.5.7 update (and possibly 10.5.6 before) did not restore those files. However today I uninstalled all the Epson drivers/files using the A800 supplied CD, and reinstalled everything. I even tried installing the scanner files from Epson's webpage. Nothing worked. Please suggest something!

i had a similar problem -I connected by printer to an iMac via a network cable to a Time Machine 802.111 router. Could print but not scan. I could only get the scan functions working by setting up the wireless connection on the printer. But then I could not print until i reconnected the network cable between the printer and the TIme capsule. Tel support from Epson seemed more confused than me!
Should I have to have the printer networked by cable as well as wireless? That seems silly. I must be missing a step in one of the setups.

Where can I find updated drivers for and Epson Artisan 800 all-in-one. Epson just refers to the apple update but there is nothing there or at Epson.

The old scanner software is not working after updating to Mavericks and Epson driver downloads refer to apple.

You may have to wait until Epson releases a new driver.

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?

Epson Artisan 810 issues - can scan and communicate but not print!

I just purchased a new Macbook Pro (13") - my first ever Mac - and am trying to get it to print with my Epson Artisan 810. Like many others I am having problems but none of the posted solutions work for me.
I installed it fresh initially with the drivers from the Epson website, I selected the Bonjour option, I was even able to download whatever update was out there through the Software Update feature, but still the same issue. The printer scans w/o a problem, it can tell me the ink levels and access the maintenance page w/o problems, but cannot print.
Whenever I print SOME message must make it to the printer because as soon as I hit print the printer starts making noise as if it is going to load paper and print, but then almost immediately it cancels the print. The printer log ALWAYS give the same error no matter what document or program I try to print from:
Error: /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpll.app/Contents/MacOS /rastertoescpll failed
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the printer over and over and I keep getting this same error and immediate print job cancellation. What the heck is the problem here?

John, I deleted the printer and deleted those folders and reinstalled the printer using the printer menu. When I tried the apple software update it said my software was up to date and didn't offer an option to get updated print drivers. I tried printing again and the same thing happened.
Syd,
I am trying to print from the Macbook to the Artisan entirely over a wireless network. The Macbook has not been plugged directly into the printer or to the router at any point in this. I did try what you suggested, resetting the printing system, and as earlier it did not offer any software updates when I looked for one. I tried printing again and the same result.
I dug around some more directories and found some more files with the epson name in there and deleted those and then attempted to reinstall using the printer setup page, and then again tried a software update and again it didn't find any new drivers, and of course the same printing error occurred again.
It sure appears that the MacOS is holding onto drivers somewhere that I cannot discover because when I reinstall the printer it takes it all of 3-4 seconds to install, and when I try to do the software update it is not finding any new drivers anywhere.
Syd, I agree that there seems to be something specifically corrupted about the printer driver itself, however, but is there another way to remove drivers?
Should I try uninstalling everything and attempting a USB installation to see if prints that way?

Firewall blocks scanning from Epson Artisan 810

I have a G5 Dual. I am just got an Epson Artisan All-in-One scan/fax/print machine with the ability to connect to my home network with wifi. I can scan with the Epson fine if I start the scanning software on my Mac and use the software controls from my Mac. The Epson has an LCD control panel from which I should also be able to scan, but I get a network connection error unless I turn off the G5's Firewall in the File Sharing Control Panel.
Since I use a 2wire router with a firewall built in do I need to have the firewall turned on in File Sharing CP too? If so, what settings can I make so that I can scan from the Control Panel on the Epson? I have printer sharing turned on but that doesn't help.
Thanks.

I ran a scan from the desktop with Network Utility open and the Netstat tab selected. While the scan was taking place I clicked the Netstat button and the window populated with what you see below. It makes no sense to me. Should all this be necessary to make a scanner from a major company such as Epson work properly? BTW, I tried adding Port 4 with in the TCP field of the Sharing dialog in the Firewall Prefs but still no go. Thanks for your help.

Scan problems with Epson XP-800

Just switched to Mountain Lion and now cannot scan with Epson XP-800. Just get empty files. Installed Epson new drivers, but no help. Printing is fine. Any ideas?
MacBook Pro 2,5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (early 2008)
4 GB RAM
OS X 10.8.

Eric - First, thank you for such a quick response!
Yes I've tried your suggestions already. When I open Image Capture it reads "No Camera or Scanner Selected". There is no way to load a scanner. :\
When I open System Preferences/Print&Scan, click on the Epson, click on Scan, click on Open Scanner... the little scan "icon" in the upper right hand corner isn't lit up.
In Preview, when I click on "Import from Epson XP-800 Series", the screen is blank. Eventually an error reads "An error occurred while communication with scanner.
Nor can I scan from the Epson into my Mac.
I'm not the only one. I found one other person online with the same problem. My sister and I also have the same printer and she's the one who alerted me of the problem. When I tried to fix her printer... I couldn't do. So I checked mine... same problem as her's.
This problem started after one of the last 2 upgrades, because we were scanning not that long ago.
As for the link you provided... been there, done that. I already uploaded their most recent driver... and nothing changed.
Please help we are dead in the water on some work projects!!!
With sincere appreciation,
Celeste

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:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398
Hope this helps.

I'm using Image Capture over one year, between my Epson XP-800 and iMac, sometimes very fast and quiet often very, very slow. I've tried to use Epson Scan 3.7.9fO but not compatible with OS X 10.9.5x Why, please..

I'm using Image Capture over one year now, using wireless between my iMac and Epson XP-800 and sometimes very fast scans and quiet often very, very slow scans. I have tried to use Epson Scan Software 3.7.9f0 but not compatible with OS X 10.9.5x. There is very little other wireless traffic and I have a fast broadband connection. Thanks

Mike,
Thanks, but, I don't want more software as I have used both Epson and Image Capture. Is there not a solution with existing Epson and Image Capture..?

How do I make my unsupported Epson Expression 800 artist scanner work in OS 10.5? Partitioning?

I have an Epson Expression 800 scanner which became non-functioning when I updated to OS 10.5. I have tried Vue Scan, doesn't work. Am wondering if I can partition my G4MDD HD and install OS 10.4 on it to get the scanner working again?
OS isn't noted below, but am running 10.5.8 on it right now.

since I backed my 10.4.11 system onto my external HD, do I need the physical disks for 10.3.9 in order to upgrade to 10.4 and so on onto the partition?
No. You may use a cloning utility such a SuperDuper.
Can I just drag the folder that has 10.4.11 in it from my external HD to the partition as is, in toto?
No. Use the cloning utility. In this way, the hidden files, the unnecessary files and the proper links and such will all be taken care of to creat an identical, bootable volume.
Does this take a bunch of time?
The initial creation (duplication) varies on the size of the volume being cloned. From 15 minutes to an hour is common.
assuming I'm going to partition, do I need to set up a separate password, etc, to get to the new partitioned area I want for scanning?
If you clone, when you boot to the new partition, you will use the same password.
Even if you install new, you may set the same password.
then I would need to make it my startup preference, right?
Either that, or, hold Option (Alt on Windows keyboards) when you start up. This brings up the Startup Manager and allows you to choose which volume to boot to.
Also, is the folder that contains the backup of my old system enough as reference 10.4?
As long as the backup is bootable, you may clone it to another drive or even just boot to it.
Or do I need a physical installation disk for 10.4 or 10.3? Can the OS be updated just the same as my tower?
Consider each new hard drive or each new partition as another "computer". The thing is, all these reside within the same machine.
So, which each new drive or volume, you install and set up your OS as you did when you first bought and setup your computer.
All these new systems can reside in one machine. You may boot between them at will, but cannot run two (or more) at the same time.
If you use clone utilities such as SuperDuper, then you only need to install an OS and applications once.
After that, using the clone utility, you can recreate a duplicate at anytime, and use the utility to keep an identical backup, to which you may also boot.
Use the Startup manager to choose which you wish to boot to, and leave the Startup drive preference in the system preferences set to the drive/volume that you use the most.
