Epson C88 Won't Print with Snow Leopard

C88 won't print using Snow Leopard. Downloaded driver from Epson doesn't help.????

Like you, I'm working with an Epson C-88+. Happy with this situation, would not be exactly accurate. I have tried some different approaches, including the ones from John and Kappy. They would work just fine for about 3 days, then fail. I even went back to the Snow Leopard Install DVD/ Optional Installs/ Options.MPKG/ Printer Support and made a choice. I then went to Disk First Aid and everything was fine. Today, I went to print 1 envelope, total dismal failure. I then downloaded the EPSON Printer Drivers 2.1, I proceeded to install the drivers. Did anybody notice, this was an Apple License, not an EPSON License? Therefore, there are no assurances, that these print drivers are in fact, EPSON. Therefore, AppleCare should be required to support these Print Drivers as Apple Licensed Products. But equally so, we as 'dumb endusers' must try to work with AppleCare to solve this issue. To "pete.purvis" John and Kappy, sorry, you guys have proven yourselves to be out of the "dumb endusers group, I just want to say, THANK YOU!

  • HP Laserjet 4mp won't print with Snow Leopard

    My great Laserjet 4mp prints just fine with OS 10.5.8 but not with Snow Leopard (10.6.2) on my new iMac. Have spent three plus hours with senior level Mac Techs to no avail. The printer screen shows the correct printer and driver and indicating valid connection, but when attempting to print I get the message "Unable to print, try again in 30 secs". Since 10.6 doesn't have Appletalk, am unable to use it; techs have tried to use the 4mp driver supplied with Snow Leopard and also downloaded it separately from the web site. We (they) have also tried using all methods (IP, Daemon, and HP Jet Direct using Ethernet and Serial to USB connections). Techs have talked with HP techs and have no other solutions. The security system is off. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks!

    I've read the threads and don't understand some, but I think we (the Apple support techs and I) have tried the ones I recognize. One new idea--in a reply to a similar post someone mentioned being sure to use additional data when using the IP address-- submask address or some such, I
    haven't been told to do this--should I? (I can get it from the printer readout if told what to get.) Also, in another post someone suggested deleting the OS 10.5.8 driver that was transferred when all the data from my old iMac G5 was moved over, saying that it would interfere. If true, how do I do that?
    What I really need is a stepwise instruction on which connection to use (Ethernet, Serial to USB, or parallel port are the only options); which protocol to use (IPP, Line Printer Daemon, or HP Jet Direct socket, whatever they are); what to put in the Address line (the IP address is the one used by Apple techs); what to put in the Queue line (techs said to leave it blank); what to put in Name and Location blocks, if anything; and what to put in the Print Using line (techs have unsuccessfully tried Autoselect, Generic, and the HP4mp driver selected both from the Select Printer Driver option and from the driver downloaded directly from the HP web site).
    I'd be grateful for this help or even advice on where I can get it! (With this new computer I still have free telelphonic Apple tech support but they've given up.) Thanks!

  • Epson Artisian 810 stopped printing with Snow Leopard upgrade

    That pretty much says it all ! I can't print! I can scan, check ink levels and clean up the head of the printer...but it won't print documents. I installed all the drivers from Apple's website.

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Try Epson's driver: epson13615.dmg. I'd post the URL, but it's amazingly long. You can find it on Epson's Web site (http://www.epson.com). Start at this URL
    <http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid =132634&infoType=Overview>
    click on "Macintosh" under "Drivers & Downloads", then look for "Drivers and Utilities Combo Package".

  • Lexmark X4850 won't print with Snow Leopard ????

    Hello,
    Ever since I loaded Snow Leopard onto my iMac, my printer which is a LEXMARK X4850 has failed to work. Does anyone know how I can get it back working again. Many thanks in advance.
    Maggi

    Have you installed the 10.6 driver which is available at the Lexmark site?

  • Why won't Lexmark T430 printer with Snow Leopard?

    Lexmark T430 will not printer with Snow Leopard. Error Message: “The printer software was installed incorrectly. Please reinstall the printer’s software or contact the manufacturer for assistance.”
    The printer is connected via Ethernet from an iMac; I have an airport wireless network. Oddly, I can print wirelessly from my MacBook Pro, but not from my desktop iMac. Both computers were upgraded to Snow Leopard at the same time, but only the iMac refuses to print.
    Tried:
    -Reset printing system
    -Downloaded Lexmark drivers and reinstalled them
    -Connected printer directly to iMac instead of through the Ethernet switch
    -Repaired disk permissions
    When ‘adding printer’ the Lexmark is recognized and configured, but it only results in the same tired error message.
    Suggestions will be appreciated.

    Hi,
    A follow up on my previous report.
    I installed 10.6 on an external USB drive and booted my iMac from there. Result: was able to print successfully to the T430, both via Ethernet and via USB cables. Previously, I also tried to print from the iMac (booted from the internal drive) via USB and that failed; although, as I said, I was able to print to a Canon printer. I conclude that there must be some conflict between the Lexmark drivers and something on my internal iMac hard drive.

  • HP 7400 printer won't work with Snow Leopard.

    I recently updated my iMac to Snow Leopard and now I can't print to my HP OfficeJet 7400.  I know the printer works, as I can print from my laptop which is on Windows 7.  Any recommendations to get my iMac with Snow Leopard to print to my 7400?

    Have you downloaded the HP 10.6 printer drivers?  http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-76195-1 &cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=391194&sw_lang=

  • SUCCESS - now installed Oki c9800 printer with Snow Leopard  - solution

    I had tried over and over with uninstall and reinstall to make my Oki c9800 printer work to no avail. After reading another post I tried the same suggestion but changing the name for my own printer and it works with Snow Leopard. (The original post of this solution is at
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2141179&tstart=0 - Matt's answer)
    SOLUTION:
    The Oki installer has set permissions incorrectly.
    Open the Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities).
    Copy and paste the following command into a Terminal window:
    sudo chown -R root:admin /Library/Printers/Oki/
    Then hit the Return or Enter key. Enter your administrator's password at the prompt.
    NOTE: Make sure the printer name, in my case 'Oki', is exactly the same spelling and case. When I put in OKI it didn't work. I had to put in 'Oki' as in my Printers folder.

    *My Solutions*
    I used a tiger or leopard box and shared the printer through it. no driver required on SL end.

  • Help! Aperture won't work with Snow Leopard...

    I know you will all probably laugh at me because I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard.  The problem is that nobody told me my Aperture wouldn't work anymore! I can't even open it to retrieve my photos...(btw, this is why I was hesitant to upgrade...but I had to because I got the iphone 5 which wouldn't sync with my itunes version and that wouldn't update unless I went to snow leopard...and so on....).
    So, the problem is that I need Aperture version 2.0. so I can update that to 2.1.4 and be compatible with Snow Leopard.  I have 1.5.6 and kept it that way because it was working for me and I just basically use Aperture as a photo storage system. I can't find 2.0 anywhere. I can't figure out how to uninstall snow leopard either. I need my photos back asap.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you in advance,
    Debi

    One more question, debi.
    Does your Aperture icon show a circular ring like the ghostbusters? Like below for my CCC?
    And is the "Kind" listed as "Application (PowerPC)" when you use "Get Info ⌘I)? That would indicate that your current Aperture version is still a PowerPC application. Then you can still make it run on Snow Leopard. You have to make sure that your Snow Leopard installation includes the Rosetta environment.
    Do you have a Snow Leopard install disk? Look into the "Optional Installs" folder on this disk and open the "Optional Installs" package. Proceed as described in the second part of this
    article:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1167117/reinstalling_rosetta.html
    If your Aperture 2 version is still a PoerPC app, installing Rosetta should enable you to run the aperture 2 installer from your installation disk and then upgrade to Aperture 2.1.4.

  • DVD Player app won't work with Snow Leopard

    I installed Snow Leopard recently. I tried to watch a DVD with DVD player. It wouldn't work. I got this message in a box: "You can't use this version of the application DVD Player with this version of Mac OS X. You have DVD Player 5.0.3."
    I looked for a recent DVD player update/download and could not find one. Same with Snow Leopard updates...
    Does anybody know the fix or the workaround?
    Thanks,
    Estel Dillon

    HI,
    Download and install the 10.6.2 combo update available here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959
    Then repair disk permissions.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    In the future, when updating system software, click the Apple Menu  /Software Updates. If that doesnt't work then go here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and use the standalone installers.
    *The DVD Player application is not available to reintall from the SL disc*. If after the suggestions above haven't helped, then back up your important data before you do anything, then reinstall Snow Leopard.
    You can reinstall the following apps from your SL disc.

  • HP Printer Won't Work With Snow Leopard

    Hi, I hope you can help. I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard and my HP printer won't print. It is a Laserjet 1015 and new drivers are meant to be on the list with SN. My iMac recognises the printer is there but cannot make a connection. I am networking it using an Airport which is working fine. I have even reset the printer system and deleted the printer and added it again but after starting to process a document to print it just stops.
    The other thing is that Pages v 1.0.2 also won't work now. I can open the software, but it can't open any existing documents nor will it open a new blank template. This is my work software (I'm a journalist) so this is a real worry. Any suggestions??
    Thanks so much
    Jo

    Hi JoJoh,
    I can't be of much help with the printer but I just checked my "Pages" and my version number is 4.0.2. I'm using iWork 09. Perhaps you need to update? I just checked the "Snow Leopard Compatible" site and found "Apple Pages 4.0.2" is compatible. It didn't mention 1.0.2. I'm so sorry. That's pretty rough when it's how you make your living.
    As for the printer, I have an HP Photosmart C4580 which wouldn't print. I finally just deleted all the printers on my MacBook and used my Snow Leopard install disk and selected the "Optional Install" which allowed me to just reinstall the printers. My HP is now working fine. I do feel like this is just a work-around until HP gets things sorted out. I say that because even though my HP now works, the only place it shows up is in my users folder. It's not in my Applications folder, but as long as it works for now, I don't care.
    Hope I was of some help to you. Best of luck!

  • Epson SP2200 printer no longer printing with Snow Leopard 10.6.1

    Quite a few users of Epson's SP2200 printer found they may have an expensive brick on their hands after upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.1. I was among those who thought my trusty printer was now useless, along with over $200.00 worth of ink supplies. I tried everything, nothing produced any results, Then I had an epiphany. My SP2200 was connected to my iMac via a Firewire connection. Firewire has been slowly phased out in favour of USB2, could that be the problem?. After downloading the SP2200 print driver from Epson's supported printers, I connected a USB cable between my iMac and Epson printer, and selected "System preferences" > Printers & fax> unlocked the app >selected the + sign to add a printer and "viola" there displayed in the printers window was the "Epson" Stylus Photo 2200 printer icon. I eagerly added it to my printer list. This was too easy; still not convinced I had succeeded, I tried printing a photo from my iPhoto library. After a few moments, I heard the sweet sound of my printer come to life, and shortly after that, a printed picture emerged.

    Hi TDCP - welcome to the forums.
    Printer drivers have taken a hit with SL.
    Unless you know for certain that your current drivers are fully compatible with SL, you may need to look for updates in that regard. Same goes for your Adobe products.
    Anything in CUPS that helps?

  • Printer won't work with Snow Leopard

    Hello,
    I have been using a Lexmark colour printer with my iMac. I upgraded to Snow Leopard and since then my printer does not work. Does anyone have a solution to this as I don't really want to buy another printer, especially as I have bought a new stock or print cartridges for the printer.
    Many thanks to anyone who can help.
    Kind regard, Maggi

    Hello Maggi:
    This is a list of OS X supported printer drivers:

    Since you did not indicate your specific printer model, I cannot make further suggestions.
    If your printer is not listed, some people have had success with generic Gutenberg drivers.

  • I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard and have lost my epson printer software. On Epson Aus. web page there is no upgrade of their software for my printer with Snow Leopard. Can i download a lesser operating system software for printer?

    I have just upgraded to snow leopard and lost my epson printer software. I have checked Epson Aus web site for printer software but they haven't upgraded it for snow leopard. Am i able to download software for a lesser operating system then snow leopard or do i have to purchase a new printer? The model is stylus photo R310.

    Have you tried the R300 or R320 software? Typically the software covers a broad spectrum of printers, often providinbg overlap to cover "relatives" of a series.

  • Epson RX595 will not print since Snow Leopard install

    I cannot get my trusty Epson to print since installing Snow Leopard and latest printer drivers.
    I can scan. Just cannot print.
    I have looked at some troubleshooting support articles. Does anyone have a good link, tip?
    Thanks in advance for any help with this!

    Try deleting the printer, the <hard drive>/Library/Printers/EPSON folder and the /Library/Caches/Epson folder, and then reinstalling the drivers using Software Update. Then add the printer, making sure that you are using the Epson driver, not the Gutenprint driver.

  • Are Adobe, Epson, & Apple all in step with Snow Leopard?

    In light of the Lightroom printing debacle when Leopard came on the scene, it would be really interesting to hear from others once they have experience of printing out of Lr onto Epson Stylus Photo printers under the new Snow Leopard OS; due out I believe on Friday.

    FWIW, in response to the OPs inquiry-
    I have updated from 10.5.8 on a MacBook Pro to 10.6. I have an Epson R2880 (previously an R2400) with the latest 6.57 driver. I am using LR 2.4 (64bit) and CS4. I have been afflicted with the dreaded "dark prints" since the R2400 and LR 1.0. Immediately after the update, I opened LR and proceeded to print a sample photo from a preset used with Red River Arctic Polar Satin with the supplied RR icc profile. The printer dialog was NOT as expansive, "Printer Setup" was missing. I printed anyway, with the limited options, not being able to verify the options. The print left me awestruck. I have kept various samples from past experiments. This last photo was...stunning. It is a dawn landscape of the summer Maine coast. For the first time in my experience with LR and Epson, the print was accurate to the display. The colors are accurate and vivid. The detail in the foliage, flowers and rocks is much superior to the past samples. The ONLY difference in my process was the upgrade to 10.6! I was concerned with the difference in the print dialog. Reading this thread and others (including the Epson website), it was recommended to install Rosetta as part of the optional post installation. I did the install. The options (and previous selections) for the printer dialog REAPPEARED as with 10.5.8! I printed another sample of the same photo. It was happily identical. I then printer the photo in CS4 with the "same" setting. The print was identical to the LR print.
    I am one happy camper.
