Epson CX4800 Won't Print In OSX Mavericks

I just upgraded to Mavericks. Now my Epson CX4800 won't print. I donloaded the Epson Printer Software Update (2.17) through the App Store Updates. I can print test pages through the Epson Printer Utility 4, but when I try and print any document from multiple apllications, my Epson Printer Utility shows that the document is printing (blue & white striped line), but nothing happens. I have tried deleting and adding the printer, but that does not help.

Well I unistalled Gutenprint using their generic uninstaller. I tehn uninstalled the Epson drives, then downloaded the new ones and installed the, Same issue.
I received this from Epson - but it did not work either:

Epson CX4800 won't print everything from Internet

I've had an Epson Stylus CX4800 working for me long before I got my iMac. Although it could possibly benefit from a mechanical tune-up, something is happening that seems more like a potential software issue to me.
Whenever I print a fairly large document off the Internet, I get only three pages worth of material. The first page may have a screen header, the third page is blank (or mostly so), and only the second page has any of the material I tried to print. Nothing but the second page of material will print accordingly, so I lose most of what I have on the screen. This happens only when I print off the Internet, whether from my Hotmail account or any other site. Documents in any offline application, such as Word or Adobe Reader, print as usual.
I don't see how this could be a mechanical issue. I feel it's in the drivers Apple issued last, since there's been little or nothing new from Epson for this model lately (except for an Image Capture scanner update). I haven't seen this behavior before in versions of 10.6 prior to now, so it might also have to do with the current version of the OS. I'd like an opinion or two as to what I should do to correct this.

Syd: Thanks for the info. I'm aware of the differences between browsers and web sites when it comes to printing. But I'm also aware that there may be a problem with the current driver. I printed a message from my Hotmail account yesterday from my parents' computer; they use an HP printer, and the entire message came out on one sheet of paper. I was using the same browser there as I do at my own place (the latest version of Firefox), with the same version of the OS (10.6.4), and the results were vastly different. That alone supports my supposition about the drivers on my computer.
I am considering reinstalling the last version of the driver produced directly by Epson. That might alleviate the problem, but I'm still not certain. I need further input before proceeding.

Quark 7.5 won't launch with OSX Mavericks 10.9.1

QuarkXPress 7.5 won't launch with OSX Mavericks 10.9.1 I keep getting the window saying "QarkXPress quit unexpectedly" (see image below) and when I click on reopen, it does the same everytime. HELP!

Hi DCG,
hope oyu had a great christmas.
I posted the post you reference on June 11, 2013.
Since then a lot of things have happened. We released 9.5.4 several weeks ago, which seems to work fine for everybody under Mavericks.
We also posted an update for version 10 that makes it Mavericks compatible and afterwards released an update that fixes most issues reported.
So please try 10.0.2 or 9.5.4 on Mavericks, they should both work fine: http://www.quark.com/de/Support/Downloads/Search_Results.aspx?pid=1&oid=2&ftid=2

Epson Stylus S21 won't print on OS Mavericks

Hi,
I've been able to install my epson printer on my macbook but it won't print.
Every time I try to print, an error occurs and when I go looking for the fault, I find the following message:
"The function 'CGContextErase' is obsolete and will be removed in an upcoming update. Unfortunately, this application, or a library it uses, is using this obsolete function, and is thereby contributing to an overaal degradation of system performance."
Is there any way to solve this?
Thanks

On this page: Support and Downloads - Epson Stylus S21 - Epson it looks like the last driver Epson had available for "OSX - Intel" was from 2009, so it would appear that there is no Mavericks-compatible driver for your printer.
You could try this, though:
uninstall all Epson apps/"utilities"
go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
control-click on your printer in the column on the left
select "Reset Printing System..." and "reset" in the dialog that follows
printers & scanners and it should see your printer and download a driver for it from Apple (if there is one)
If that doesn't work, try the Generic PCL printer setting in Printers & Scanners: OS X Mountain Lion: If the software for your printer can’t be found (the reference is for ML but it still applies to Mavericks)
if that doesn't work, see if there is a driver for your printer at Gutenprint for Mac OS X

Mail, App Store & Terminal won't open after OSX Mavericks Update

Hey,
Updated to OSX Mavericks yesterday - today Mail started crashing, found a solution but needed to use Terminal - which won't open. I thought OK, I'll reinstall OSX, but can't open the App Store either...
Does anyone know a solution to this one, or have a link to a direct (non App Store) download of OSX Mavericks.
I've tried Safe Boot and didn't help.
Thanks,
Eliot

I went to the Apple Store today and the genius recommended a new install of Mavericks, just do a time machine back up then hold down alt and go to the recovery drive then click reinstall or new install of Mavericks.
Note: This will take a long time it took 3 hours for my machine. When it prompts you to install the back up from time machine I would recommend unchecking the box that asks if you'd like to install with your settings. I have a hunch that what caused this problem in the first place was a corrupted file in the settings. Hope this helps..

Officejet Pro 8500 Premier won't print (Mac OSX 10.6)

The printer is detected by my computer and is able to interact with it, but it refuses to print. I restored factory settings with no luck. I downloaded the HP software/drivers for my laptop, ran setup, everything worked...still won't print. Any ideas please!?!
Thanks!

Hi Stonesp85,
Is there any error message pops out on printer front panel or on the PC?
Are you able to print out any self-test page like Product Status Report or Network configuration page ( in Setup -> Reports)?
this is just a quick test for your printer hardware.
to fully validate you printer hardware, I suggest you download "HP Hardware diagnostic Utility" in below link and run it:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&jumpid=ex_r4155/hho/ipg/ccdoc/h...
if there is no problem found on printer hardware, please make sure that you installed the right driver, below is the link for the printer driver on Mac OSX 10.6:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-85024-2&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...=
Hope it helps you.

Acrobat reader will not print in OSx maverick

I have not been able to print pdf files in Acrobat Reader using OSx Maverick. I have re-installed the the most recent version of Acrobat reader a couple of times but no success printing. Anyone dealing with the same proble and is there a solution?

All I can report to you is that I can print from Adobe Reader just fine. I'm using an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.1 and have been able to print since day one. One suggestion is to use Adobe Reader's print button icon instead of just Command-P. You might also try repairing permissions using Disk Utility.
What happens, exactly, when you attempt ot print and how do you try to do it?

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!

I've got the same problem, did you find out what the problem is?

My macbookair won't update to OSX maverick. Is it too old? What can I do?

I just tried to upgrade my Macbookair to OSX Mavericks. I get the message "OS X Mavericks cannot be installed on this computer". I purchasd my macbookair in late 2007. So that's it is it? I have to buy a new laptop to make the upgrade? I have upgraded my iMac, so now have it and the macbookair "out of synch" on software updates (e.g. iphoto '11 version 9.5 requires Mavericks, so my iphotos across the two machines are getting out of synch).
Any suggestions other than "buy a new macbookair for Christmas"
Any help most appreciated

John ~ It doesn't make any difference, but according to Wikipedia, the earliest you could have purchased it would have been in early 2008.

Epson CX7400 won't print on Intel iMac OSX (10.4.1)

I got a new printer when I purchased a MacBook with Leopard and setting it up to use on that computer worked just fine with a direct USB connection. When I installed the software on my iMac I cannot get it to work properly, either with Airport or a direct USB connection. I have tried uninstalling the software and reinstalling as well as going to the Epson site to download the latest updates. Whenever I try to Add this printer I do not see this particular model in the Epson Model list. As some on the discussion groups have suggested, I have tried choosing other drivers which use Gimp-Print v. 5.0.0-Beta2 but with no luck. I have gotten as far as getting the printer to run when I click Print, but it wants to keep printing either blank pages (more than the 1 page I have checked) or pages with gibberish on them--there is definitely a communication problem between the computer and the printer. How can I get the correct driver for this particular printer to appear in the printer list? Ideally I'd like to use it through my Airport network with my new MacBook, but even a direct USB connection would be good at this point. I have succeeded in getting a printer (Epson CX4200) to work through Airport on both computers--but of course that driver is on the printer list.

I followed the directions that were given above with no luck. I tried about 3 or 4 times, following the directions to the T. In my frustration, I got up to go grab a beer and when I cam back, the computer had recognized the new driver and now it works perfectly. The moral of this story is that patience is a virtue. All the previous times, I would go to the drop down list to see if the printer had been added to the list. All the while the little progress wheel was spinning away and was looking for the driver and I was to impatient to let it do its job. So if you have had no luck at all, then give it about 5 minutes to search for the driver. BTW, I am on a 700MHz G4 Emac with 512 Mb memory and it works like new.

Epson 740 won't print, 1280 prints fine

I'm running a 15" 1.25 ghz G4 powerbook, OS 10.4.3:
I've reinstalled the drivers, rebooted, I've deleted the printer from the list and added it back in, I've tried the gimp print driver, I repaired disk permissions (there were a lot in need of help)...but nothing helps. I can send a file to print but jobs simply stop. I can use the printer utility to clean heads and check heads on the 740, I can also print to an Epson 1280. I've also printed successfully to the 740 from an iMac G5 and even dragged its Epson driver over to the G4.
I think the issue is in the G4 but I'm not sure where. Any pointers?
(this happened the same time as apple mail completely crashed warranting a com.apple.mail.plist removal and as my menu bar reorganizing itself).

thanks DKR.
the 740 downloads at Epson i was able to find when I checked prior to starting this thread were for OS 10.2 and under. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough. I made the assumption that Epson simply started bundling anything newer in subsequent iterations of OSX which led me to re-install drivers only from the OSX DVD I have....and that didn't work.
I'm at a loss on this...

After updates my Epson 845 won't print. it says printer in use

Epson r2400 won't print - no driver in Software Update

Since I installed Mavericks the only driver that shows up when I add the printer is a third party "Gutenprint" driver that just doesn't work for squat. When I click software update there is no driver that shows up for Epson, even though Epson's website gives no direction on getting a driver except that you are supposed to do "Software Update" from the Apple menu. WHY are you using these junky third-party drivers? Has Epson not updated their driver for 10.9.2?

Says here your printer is currently supported:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#epson
You can download the latest here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398
Then after installing, try adding the printer again. If it doesn't find the driver, Reset the Printing System, then try again:
