Epson C61 and OS X 10.4.6 - No Print

I have an Epson C61, which used to work fine in early versions of 10.4.x (I'm not sure if that Epson model is available in the U.S). Anyway, I haven't used it for 8 or 9 months due to emtpy cartrides, and luckily I had no need to print anything. Now I have bought cartridges, I have updated the drivers. The printer works - I have run the Epson utility and the test pages are fine. But I cannot print from any application - Apple or 3rd party, or just the Finder. I have tried disconecting all cables, trying a clean 'test' user .... no luck. Tried trashing printing files, plug-ins, reinstalling the Epson software ...nothing. If someone could give me a definite "no, it doesn't work yet", that would be fine, but is that the case?

I have an epson xp600 and a mac book pro. Wireless printing is OK if I'm lucky for one time only then a 'failed to connect' message so I have to delete and re add the printer to get it working again (but just once!) then the same occurs. Why?

I am not certain this will fix your problem but I suggest you assign the printer a static IP address.
Using the printer's front panel, select Menu > Network > WLAN > TCP/IP > Boot method, and change it to "static". Provide a static IP address that is on your LAN's subnet.
For example, if you are using an AirPort Extreme, you might give it an IP address of 10.0.1.100. If you are using a Netgear or Linksys router that defaults to issuing 192.168.x.x addresses, you might give it an address of 192.168.1.100. That way, the printer will always "reside at the same address" on your network. If your router has the ability, you should reserve that address so that the router does not attempt to assign it to another DHCP device.
Then, go to System Preferences > Print & Scan, and delete your existing printer with the "–" (minus) button. Add it again, using the "+" (plus) button. In the window that appears, select the IP pane, and from the Protocol menu select "Line Printer Daemon (LPD)". In the Address field type the IP address you gave your printer.
If all goes well the "Pring Using" field will detect the printer at that address and automatically select the appropriate driver. You will see something similar to the following screenshot ("name" can be whatever you decide, and "location" is optional):
Click Add, then you can close System Preferences.
There are other possible reasons your printer is "not responding" which could include wireless interference from competing wireless networks, but try this "static IP" method first. It should mitigate the problem.

Epson RX595 and Jabra a320s Bluetooth adapter?

Hi all,
Just a quick question. I have an RX595 currently connected to my Time Capsule, and seeing as it is giving me difficulty with a Vista laptop (printing multiple copies of same job) I was looking into other connectivity options that don't include having to connect it to a computer and networking it that way. I have a Jabra a320s BT USB adapter, and when I place it in the USB port of the printer, it allows me to set up all the options in the menu (recognizes it as a BT adapter), yet when I try to add it to my MBP, I'm able to see it as a printer but it won't pair properly (times out after asking for pairing code). Do I have to buy the Epson Bluetooth print adapter or is there any way to make my setup work?

I used my RX595 with a Belkin bluetooth adapter. It's a few years old. I can't find it right now or I'd give you the model number. Anyway, I can only print by transferring files to the RX595. This gives me practically no format control. It only uses however I set up memory card printing, paper size and whatnot, having nothing to do with computer settings. I could also only get a .jpg file to work. The printer might do .pdf files, but I don't think it'll do anything else through bluetooth.
I'm a little bitter about their "bluetooth compatible" not including a bluetooth adapter, being so limited, and their printer sharing simply not working. Support refused to help with any of this. To quote them: "Epson tests and supports a direct connection from the printer to the Host PC/MAC." Advertising unsupported features, this is my last Epson printer for at least 4-5 years.

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop is running the network, and my wife's HP Win 7 laptop prints to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I do have the latest driver installed. I didn't have a problem when I had a Canon Pixma on the network, but when I replaced it with the Epson nothing seems to work. I go to add a printer to the queue and only the FAX function of the printer shows up - not the WS-4530 print function. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Please??? :-)

Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
Start with the section titled Check the network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee

Google show that you have to cut what you want to print and then paste it into a new app and print from that app.

Epson Scan and Mac OSX 10.5.4 - Application just quits

I have a Epson 4180 Scanner and have access to 3 Macs. Two of the macs are running 10.5.4, and the other is running 10.4.11. When I launch "Epson Scan" on either of the Leopard computers, the application bounces on the dock and then just quits. It runs fine on the Mac running Tiger. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the application, repaired disk permissions, repaired pre-binding, and thrown away preferences to no avail. I spent over 2 hours on tech support with Epson, and they say it is an Apple OS issue.
Are there any other programs I can use ? (Image Capture sees the scanner, but does not preview the image nor allow changes in resolution settings).
Any help would be great!

There are many posts here about scanners and fixes and workarounds. You can search for them.
Here is a starter:

In general it's an Epson issue in not supporting Leopard. Be sure you have the very latest Epson software and sometimes it's necessary to uninstall and reinstall it.

I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size but It.

Hi to the Mac Folks,
I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. This is regardless of either printer selected.
I primarily print photos from Photoshop CS5. The term Page Set-up has gone missing in the file pull down menu. Can't make any choices There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size paper format. Either being too large or too small.
Saw a 2008 locked issue about this however none of the help fit my situation, options discussed are not available to me.
Preview has no "Page Setup" - or does it?
Does the constant struggle with computer compatability weirdness issues ever end or is it a enslavement scheme?

Hey,
if you know the name(s) of the root folder(s) you want to access (eg. by making a note on the Windows side) then you can make them appear by just doing Shift-Command-G in Finder ("Go to Folder…"), and entering the full path to the required folders. You can then navigate all the contents as normal.
HTH,

OSX Mountain LION 10.8 Epson CX7400 and Windows 7

I have troubles with my printer via Network:
I installed first the epson CX7400 via USB on the OSX and let OSX download the latest drivers automatic then I made a print and all ok then I return the printer to the machine with windows 7 that share that printer then I add the printer on OSX via Sytem Preferences/Print&Scan then on on "+" then Windows and navigate to the network machine that have the printer all ok detect perfect the OSX say idle and green on OSX but when I try to print say the error "Stopped Filter Failed" I saw on Error Log of the printer and say something of interpreter resource unavailable any suggestion on how to make work my network printer?
Note: That Printer is actually serving 7 computers without trouble just the OSX lion has the troubles.
Thank you

I have the same problem with the Epson CX7400 in a Windows 7 network.
I enabled LPD printing on the Windows 7 print server and tested it using Snow Leopord and it works fine.
With Mountain Lion, I am unable to get it to print.
Same symptoms as you. My daughter has a new Air with Mountain Lion and needs to print badly.
I opened a case with Apple today and provided them much detailed debug information and a network trace.
Because I'm able to print using LPD from Snow Leopord to the very same Windows 7 print server, it is highly unlikely a Windows side issue. It is more likely that it is an Epson driver/Mountain Lion issue. I don't expect Apple engineering to get back to me until next Thursday but if I find out anything good, I'll let you know.

Open the Sharing pane in System Preferences. If the Computer Name is not set, enter a name. You may first have to click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings.

Epson 3000 and Elements 11

I am using B19x13 size paper with Epson 3000 and Photoshop Elements 11 and it wont print the image in the correct size

Ask in the PSE/ LR forums. I'm sure there's some hacky command striung involved that needs to be added to a .plist or prefs file in a text editor.

Print Error Msg re: "rastertoes" using Epson 1400 and Adobe Lightroom

I am unsure if this is a _Mac OS_ issue, an Adobe issue or an Epson issue. I am using an Epson Stylus Photo 1400 with Lightroom 2.6. I successfully printed a snapshot but all subsequent efforts produced the following error message through the Epson printer app:
"Error/Library/Printers/Epson/InjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpll.app/Contents/M acOS/rastertoescpll failed"
Have reloaded Snow Leopard drivers from Epson, gone through variations of printer set-ups, re-booted, etc. Still the same message.
I would sincerely appreciate someone's help.

Deleting the /Library/Printers/EPSON folder won't delete the Epson folder in /Caches. Did you do a search for this folder or manually try to find it? Are you looking in the hard drive's Library folder and not your home directory's?
As for "deleting the printer," I note that the Epson 1400 is still a pull down Print option in multiple apps. Is there a way to delete it so it doesn't show anywhere, or will the printer remaining attached (USB) to the computer cause it to be shown?
Go into System Preferences, Print & Fax Prefs, select the printer and hit the '-' sign at the bottom of the printer list.
This is a helpful introduction to printing:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3771?viewlocale=en_US
How do I download an update, and how do I know it will discern that the Epson printer apps and drivers are missing?
Use Software Update under the Apple menu to download the update. The software will see that the printer is connected but that there's no software (since you deleted the /Library/Printers/EPSON folder), and it will ask you if you want to download the most recent update. Doing so will replace the contents of the Library/Printers/EPSON. After installing the update, restart, then re-add your printer using the Epson driver.
Thanks,
You're welcome. I hope this helps. john

Problem printing with Epson 3800 and Photoshop CS5

I came across a problem trying to print with my Epson 3800 in Photoshop CS5. I recently upgraded to Photoshop CS 5 (and Lightroom 3). I tried to print using my Epson 3800 with CS5 but could not adjust Print Settings, Color Mamagement, Paper Configuration, Expand Border because those options are unavailable and there is a line crossing through them. I get a message that says "The bundle 'Print Setting' could not be loaded because it does not contain a version for the current architecture". It then says to contact the creator listed here for the latest version: PrintSetting version 3.57, Copyright SEIKO EPSON CRP 2001-2006. I can print through Photoshop CS4 as usual, but CS5 is a problem. I haven't tried printing though Lightroom 3 yet, and have not typically used Lightroom to print, but I wonder if that will be a problem too?
Any help will be appreciated.

If you run CS5 or LR as a 32bit application you will have all these option available to you. You can then save these options as presets that can then be applied when you are running the applications in 64bit mode even if you can not access them individually.
Also you might want to check Epson's download site especially the European site to see if there are newer drivers or updates for your printer. The newest drivers for other printers like the 7600/9600 support application running in 64bit mode.

Lightroom 3, Epson R2400 and the dreaded magenta cast

A customer called me to say her printer was broken and nothing she could do would make her Epson R2400 print accurately from Lightroom on her iMac running Snow Leopard. I visited expecting to have to sort out a double profiling issue or a clogged printer.
However, this was not the case. A nozzle check revealed very mild clogging on the light cyan cartridge but nothing too bad and it cleared quickly. Checking the print settings in Lightroom and the Epson driver settings suggested that there wasn't a problem there either - colour managed by a profile in Lightroom with printer colour management turned off. A couple of test prints resulted in images with a definite over-all magenta cast. Plodding through threads on this forum and others came up with all the usual profile issues which I reckoned were not applicable in this case. Still, I downloaded and reinstalled the Epson driver and also the icc profiles for the papers being used, in this instance those supplied by Permajet, in case there was some corruption. The problem persisted.
Now there are a lot of speculative solutions out on the web, some of them involving tweaks to the OS, others recommending monitor profiling (not the problem here) and some suggeting the use of elaborate presets to distort the colours to a printable result. None of these seemed useful - the screen colour was fine and the histograms weren't unbalanced in a magenta direction. It should just work.
Then I wondered about the little 16 Bit checkbox. What if I ticked that? Result - PERFECT. Lovely colour immediately. Now, I'm not sure why printing in 16 Bit should sort out the magenta cast in this case but it does. There is a general opinion, even in books such as that by Martin Evening, that 16 Bit is an interesting option but not vital. In the case outlined here it is vital.
So, if you are having magenta cast problems try ticking the 16 Bit box. It may just save your last clumps of hair from being torn out.

I wouldn't argue with you re the R2400 and its capabilities as it isn't mine and I didn't have any of its literature while trying to get to the bottom of the problem. The profiles I tried were Epson's own and a Permajet one from their website. Both produced magenta results until 16 Bit was turned on, or at least that seemed the trigger for the better results. Unexpected, I agree.

Epson scanner and image capture: blank white image

I've been trying to make an epson perfection 1670 scanner work on an iMac running 10.6.4
Since epson no longer specifically supports this model I am going to Image Capture and the epson drivers supplied by Apple. I have downloaded/installed the updated drivers twice (once via software update and once manually from apple support).
I can get image capture to recognize the scanner and perform preview and full scans.
The frustrating thing is that the image generated is completely blank; a white page. I have tried using the scanner and image capture on two other mac's (macBook pro, macBook) both running 10.6.4 and both of these produce the same white page (although they do recognize the scanner).
I thought the scanner may have finally broken so i tested it on another (old) iMac G3 running os x 10.4.11 and epson's scanning utility; it worked fine and made a nice scan.
I have tried to get epson's scanning utility to work under 10.6.4 by reinstalling it; I can get it to startup and run the scanner but it too produces a blank white image!
I conclude there is some basic software incompatibility between the drivers and os x 10.6.4. Its odd that the drivers and image capture can run the scanner but cannot send an image to the computer.
The epson driver in the latest apple update is version 5.2.5 (Copyright 2003 ???) while the latest driver on the epson site (for image capture) is 5.3. Tried to download the epson driver and got file not found (*!%#?&).
done what I can; any suggestions?

I had the same problem with my Epson 1260 scanner. The "updated" drivers provided by both Apple and Epson produced the exact same result - blank white pages, or if anything showed up at all, it would be all chopped up and skewed, like it had gone through a shredder. Trying to adjust the brightness and other slider settings made no difference.
After wrestling with it for a week, I finally found a solution. First make sure Rosetta is installed. Use the old PowerPC Epson TWAIN driver from 2003; with the filename EPSON TWAIN 5.ds. Put it in the folder /Library/Image Capture/TWAIN Data Sources/.
Then, don't use Image Capture. Download Graphic Converter. Set it to open in Rosetta mode. Then you can use Graphic Converter's File -> Acquire -> TWAIN Acquire... menu command to scan using the old EPSON TWAIN driver.
