Epson CX6400 driver for Leopard?

How can I get my Epson CX6400 to use an Epson driver in Leopard?
The Printer Features/Presets are not active in Gutenprint.
The CX6400 worked fine in Tiger. I installed Leopard as Archive with Preserve Users. I customized for Epson printers only.
After the install, the CX6400 could not print.
I downloaded and installed current Epson software, but CX6400 did not appear in the driver list.
Apple says Leopard uses Gutenprint V.5.1.3 so I downloaded current Gutenprint software, and reset the printer.
It prints, but no access to presets.

There have been many reports of printing problems after doing an Archive and Install of Leopard. Try resetting the printing system. Open System Prefereces -> Print & Fax. Control-click (right-click) in the white box where the printers are listed. You will see an option to reset the printing system.
After you reset the printing system, you will have to add your printer again. There should be no problems with accessing all the features of the Gutenprint drivers. There is one problem with the Epson Gutenprint drivers in Leopard. You will have to manually select the Resolution you want to print at. Selecting the *Print Quality* (eg Standard, Draft, High) does not work. It will always print in the Economy mode if you do not manually select the Resolution. You can make a Preset for the resolution you want to use most often.
I downloaded and installed current Epson software, but CX6400 did not appear in the driver list.
The Epson support page for Leopard does show a download for drivers for the CX6400. It indicates that it is compatible with PowerPC Macs. You have an Intel Mac, so I think their drivers will not work on your computer.

  • Trying to get Photoshop CS4 functional with Mavericks and an Epson 3880 printer. CS4 fails to send a file to the print queue. Have reinstalled the Epson 3880 driver for Mavericks. All looks good but no file is sent.

    rying to get Photoshop CS4 functional with Mavericks and an Epson 3880 printer. CS4 fails to send a file to the print queue. Have reinstalled the Epson 3880 driver for Mavericks. All looks good but no file is sent.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    What EXACT version of Photoshop CS4 are you running?  You should be on Photoshop CS4 v 11.0.2.
    Also run Apple's software update to see whether it offers you the latest Epson update:
    Printer Driver v9.33
    Epson Stylus Pro 3880, Drivers & Downloads - Technical Support - Epson America, Inc.
    MOST IMPORTANTLY:  have Photoshop re-create its own Preferences:
    To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
    Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
    Important: If you re-create the preferences by manually deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
    Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
    NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here:

    Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If  you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

  • Snow Leopard Updated Epson Printer Driver for Epson R800 - poor colour !

    I just installed through software update the latest epson printer drivers and, then, deleted the Epson R800 from my printer list and added it back in (with the new printer driver). I did find a slightly different printer dialog box and found the setting of "presets" worked now (it did not previously).
    However, when I printed out of Adobe Lightroom 2.6, using a custom paper profile and no colour management, that the print was faded, the colours were washed out. The result was unacceptable. After a few attempts, I looked in the Library folder, printers, epson and found two folders labeled, "inkjet printer" and "inkjet printer2". I determined that "inkjetprinter2" was the new folder and deleted it and deleted/added in my Epson r800 (using "inkjetprinter" folder. The resulting print was perfect.
    So, my conclusion is that the new driver is not functioning as it should and I would warn users to be prepared for problems. Am I missing something here? Could I have done the updating of the printer driver and printer differently?

    You may need to recalibrate you monitor color settings.
    One of the things that changed from 10.5 to 10.6 was gamma; if you are using calibration from 10.5 or earlier, the gamma change will throw off print colors.
    Personally, on my last 2 epson printers (R300, RX685), I've configured to let the printer color manage, and used the Vivid setting.
    Have not had any off colors, etc.

    Hi Maclapa!
    Do you have more than one account on the Mac?
    Are you sure that you are logged in with an Admin account?
    Have you run Repair Permissions?
    TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS ON THE STARTUP DISK
    1.Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and select the startup disk in the left column.
    2.Click First Aid.
    3.Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions. (I never "Verify". Just run "Repair".)
    Rerun RP until the only message it reports is:
    "We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./System/Library/Filesystems/cd9660.fs/cd9660.util.
    New permissions are 33261"
    This is a status message and not a cause for concern. You may safely ignore it.
    Or these:
    "We are using a special uid for the file or directory ./private/var/at/jobs. New uid is 1"
    "We are using a special uid for the file or directory ./private/var/at/spool. New uid is 1"
    Again, these are status messages, which appeared after Security Update 2005-001.
    There may be others that you can ignore. Complete list at link below.

    When "Repair Permissions" is complete. Quit "Disk Utility".

  • Epson 777i Driver for Mac OS10.3.9

    I've installed every driver I can find and can use my Epson 7771 to print in Classic but not in 10.3.9.
    I had been able to print in 10.3.9 until my hard drive died and had to reinstall mo.3.9.
    Suggestions PLEASE!

    Hello Martin!
    There is no OS X driver on the Epson Website, for the Epson Stylus Color 777i.
    Are you sure you were printing in Panther 10.3.x, and not in the Classic environment, or booted into OS 9.x?
    Is OS 9.x still present on your system?

  • Where to find an epson sx510w driver for osx 10.9

    Hi,
    Do you use a Epson sx510w printer/scanner with Mavericks?
    Please you can help me out, whan I connect the printer Apple does not provide an driver.
    I tried to install a driver provided by Epson, but it is not working(Driver (v6.62) 21-Oct-2009 23.25 MBs)
    Regards,

    Try deleting the printer, the /Library/Printer/EPSON and the /Library/Caches/Epson/ folder and then reinstalling the updates through Software Update. Your printer is shown as supporting print & scan on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669. If the above doesn't work, you could install the entire Epson package by downloading it here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398
    Hope this helps.

  • Partition hard drive for Leopard install?

    I'm giving serious consideration to partitioning my hard drive so I can run BOTH Tiger and Leopard.
    Has someone tried this? If so, input appreciated.
    thanks

    What are you hoping to gain by doing that?
    One thing you should consider is where your Home folder will be. Are you going to have two home folders with two document folders, two photo folders, two mail accounts, etc?
    I have run my PowerMac with multiple boot drives installed. I used one of them to "test" applications (freeware, shareware) from the internet before putting them on my "main" volume. It worked fine; you just use Startup Disc in System Preferences to change back and forth. But I only used the home folder on my "main" drive as my real home folder. I didn't keep any important work or info on the drive I was using as my sandbox. You could do a similar setup with partitioning until you are fully comfortable that Leopard will meet your needs. But then, how will you remove the partition? Or would you ever?

  • How do I get compatible Epson V700 driver for Mavericks?

  • Tascam US-122 driver for Logic 8 In Leopard

    Does any one out there have a tascam US-122. I downloaded what tascam said was the most recent driver for leopard. the devise has been recognized in the audio midi setup application & the green light is on and when I play notes on my keyboard the red midi in light flashes but the midi out light is not active. Only the internal speakers are producing sound even though I have chosen the tascam as my sound output.
    Greatfull for any help

    The L2 Cache will not be as important as the RAm or HD speed. For Logic, I would recommend the 200GB 7200RPM drive for best performance. If I were to decide between 2.5Ghz with the 5400rpm drive or 2.5GHz with the 7200RPM, i would pick the 2.4GHz 7200RPM.. just my 2 cents.

  • Epson Printer driver disappeared. 10.5.8

    Hi,
    I have 10.5.8 and am using an Epson Stylus Color.  Now, when I try to print, all the lights on the printer flash, and I get a message saying there is a problem with the connections.  In the past, I have solved this by opening Sys.Preferences, going to Print & Fax, selecting my Epson printer, hitting the minus sign to delete it and then hitting the plus sign to add it in again.  Actually, hitting the plus sign doesn't result in my printer showing up in a list, so at this point, I just unplug and replug the USB cable for the printer, and try to print again, and it works by using the "default" printer.
    Today, that last part didn't help.  I went online to Epson to d/l a printer driver, and they tell me there isn't a separate d/l for that; I must go to apple and get it from the OS d/l.  So, I d/l'd 10/5/8 again, and hoped that with the new d/l, the printer driver would be there and everything would work.  Nope.  It's the same situation as in paragraph 1.
    So, I don't know what to do. 
    I could buy a new printer...but then I wonder if it will work with 10.5.8 AND with a new upgrade I'm contemplating to Lion.
    Can anyone advise me on:
    1) how to get my printer printing again?
    2) If a new printer will be able to work with 10.5.8 and with Lion?
    Thanks

    when I try to print, all the lights on the printer flash
    That is not normal behaviour. Are you sure the old 740 actually still works?
    If you have installed the Gutenprint driver, what actually happens if you select a document and try to print it? Do you get any kind of menu?
    Did you read through the PDF manual that came with the driver?
    I found this comment on the web but it relates to Tiger, not Leopard:
    Setting up the Epson 740 printer is a little tricky under MacOS X 10.4. There are in fact Epson USB as well as Gimp-print (Gutenprint) based drivers for the Epson 740 in Tiger (both of which will work).
    The easiest way to set up an Epson 740 print driver is to use the Printer Setup Utility to delete any existing printer queues for that printer. You should then be able to unplug and replug in the USB cable for the Epson 740 and a new printer queue will be automatically created. This method of creating the Epson 740 printer queue will always work.
    The creation of the Epson 740 printer manually from within the Printer Setup Utility is more problematic. If you create the printer without using the "More Printers..." button to select the printer driver, the resulting printer queue is broken and will stop the print queue anytime you send a print job to it. If you use the "More Printers..." button to select the Epson USB driver for the Epson 740, the resulting printer queue will work fine.

  • I need a a second hard drive for a  Macpro

    Hello i need a little advise here
    I need 250GB or more internal hard drive, i will use it for video editing FCP
    i will install myself the hard drive it appears to be easy.
    can anyone help me, Which is the next step after i install the internal hard drive

    Just curious though... why did you buy a drive if you weren't sure it would work in your computer first? Don't tell me because you got a good deal on it... It's not a good deal if you can't use it.
    Thanks for the reply. You are correct about the deal but:
    I wanted a big hard drive to match the 500 G Hitachi that came with my MAC PRO in order to use it as the drive for LEOPARD's Time Machine when it comes out. On the day of the sale I got to the store 1 hour after it opened and they had only one left. I knew I could get advice on this forum as to if it would work or if I needed to return it.
    I also could use the WD 500 g SATA in my HP Windows PC that I am giving to my wife once I get used to the MAC.
