Epson Print CD software with TC

Hello,
I have an Epson RX595 plugged into my Time Capsule and wireless printing works fine. I cannot scan over wireless, but I have read that this is normal and not supported (if I'm incorrect please tell me). The problem I am having is printing onto a CD/DVD via Epson's Print CD software. It has been working fine when USB'd directly to my MBP, but when I try and print over wireless I get an error message saying the required drivers are not installed. I can unplug from the TC and into my MBP and it will print just fine. Is there anyone who has this working? I have emailed Epson support and have not heard back for a week.
Also I can not longer see ink levels when the printer is plugged into the TC. Is there a way to do this?
I have the latest drivers from Epson, latest firmware/updates for TC/Airport Utility.
Thanks

No. I guess it is like scanning - you need a 2-way communication channel and wireless printing like this is basically 1-way. Or something like that. Anyway, I know it doesn't work. I think you may find other things such as cleaning print heads etc. also require a direct connexion - at least, that is how it is for me with an admittedly different printer.
The bit about scanning is correct, too.
No idea about the CD/DVD printing issue. Sorry.

Epson Print Servers compatible with Time Capsule?

First up: I'm no techie. Epson tells me I will need an Epson print server to enable me to print wirelessly on my ADSL-Time Capsule 500GB (7.3.2)-Airport (5.3.2) network, using an Epson DX8400, which they tell me doesn't support network printing: so far so bad (& so much for the cheap all-in-one printer). Can anyone tell me (if there is no other way of achieving wireless printing) if the Epson print servers are compatible with Time Capsule? I don't have the tech spec to hand, but there are only 3 PSs on the Epson website, 2 of which appear to be the same but vary by a few pounds in price (about GBP150). This was an expense I didn't want, but if I can print wirelessly (AND IT WORKS!) I will pay it, because I want to get a desktop model as well soon & will want to print wirelessly from that as well. I have posted this to the Time Capsule forum as well, but any help gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

yep am using a usb hub,time cap. has only the one usb port- yes two usb outs on the hard drive , sorry, which merge into one into the hd, is bus powered...

How to install Epson printer without software cd

I'm trying to install Epson ink jet printer with wifi without a software disc since I have a Mac mini without cd/dvd external unit. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Go to the Epson website and look up the appropriate driver for your printer and the OS your mini is using (appears to be 10.9) and follow the instructions......

My Epson printer stopped working with Firefox today. It does test pages, will work on Notebook, and will work with IE. Up until today it worked with Firefox. Why can't I print anything from the internet with Firefox?

Up until today, I did everything with Firefox. Then I was on Paypal and went to print a shipping label and the printer would not work. I went to troubleshoot page and it printed a test page. I uninstalled my printer and then re-installed it. Still would not work from an internet page. I did a system restore. Still didn't work. Called Epson. They say it's a Firefox problem because it works on Notebook and test pages. I installed IE and the printer works. What happened and how can I get it back working with Firefox?

I have the same problem, I cannot print PayPal shipping label off of Firefox. I did the about.config entry and have seen that the print.print_printer does not exist at all in the list of entries. I use Vista 32. I use an Epson 545 wirelessly.
Can anyone help?

Epson RX 700 DVD label printing - "driver dealing with CD printing is not..

Thank goodness I still have my PowerBook with Tiger 10.4.11 on it so I can print DVD labels. But I would like to be able to do this with my intel iMac with Leopard on it.
When I try to print DVD labels on my iMac with Leopard 10.5.3 using the horrible Epson Print CD software I am getting, "EPSON printer driver dealing with CD printing is not installed."
I searched on this message board and others have gone to the Russian website and downloaded the newer print driver which isn't available on the American website. I found driver 3.09, download it, and installed it. It shows up in English and everything LOOKs good.
Then I try to print from the EPSON CD Print software and it gives me this error.
Note that I also bought Roxio's Toast 9 Titanium with Disc Cover RE and try to print from that it and the print job gets all the way to the printer queue which tells me, "CD/DVD guide open". Well DUH, I'm trying to print the CD/DVD so I want it open, stupid printer.
Or I'm just being stupid. Help. Did I forgot to stand on my head, rub my stomach, pat my feet, and chant something before/after installing the new printer driver which is supposed to work?

I've done all that (exactly as it is suggested from the Epson support site) and I still get the same error. I called their tech support and they admitted that there is no real fix... only a workaround by doing a manual print. I had already figured that out, but all the instruction on their support site is useless.
My older machines work fine, but our new iMacs running Leopard will not print with Print CD.

Epson Print CD problem

It appears at some time in the past few months a problem with directly printing to CD/DCDs on Epson printers has developed. It occurs on older 10.2, 10.4x and the new intel based software. My G5 running 10.4.8 was working fine with a R300 epson, when suddenly a few moths ago the CD printing would not work with the Print CD software. It gave an error message that the CD/DVD tray is open. I though the printer CD tray maechanism was busted so I bought a new R340: same problem. Resinstalled software, deleted software, reinstalled origional 10.4 OS. Epson says that the error message you get now when you attempt to print (the epson printer driver dealing with CD Printing is not installed) is "normal" you should click OK, next screen click manual print upper right, settings-page attributes, format-pick your printer, paper size-A4 (this is critical there are two A4 choices you must pick the plain A4). Click OK. make sure your printer is still selected. in copies and settings pick media type and then pick CD/DVD. You can now save this as a preset.
If you uninstall the software make sure that you delete the Epson folder in applications, the epson printer utility in utility folder, The epson files in the home users/preferences folder, ultility/ printer delete epson folder. empty trash restart computer, reinstall software, go to printer setup in utiltity folder and locate and add your printer

thank you thank you thank you! I've been pulling my hair out with my Epson R1800 print to CD issue (no driver etc...) called epson an hour later they were no help... this post gave me the info to try that DID allow me to print on my CD/DVD's.
I know this was an old post, but it was a NEW problem for me - so again - thanks!

Epson Print CD and OSX 10.4.11

For the past week, I've been having a running battle with Epson about my Stylus Photo R320 which has suddenly become useless. Epson Print CD software crashes, and since my business is creating DVDs and CDs, this is a bit of a problem...
Epson insists that this is a problem with OS 10.4.11, and indeed, it is happening on both my computers running this version of the OS. The following excerpt from the crash report is the same on both computers: Exception: EXCBADACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000007
Can anyone offer any help or advice? I'm losing business! Thanks so much!!
BTW, I'm running a Mac G4 AGP Graphics with 2 gigs of RAM and an OWC 1.4 gig PowerPC processor upgrade. The laptop is a 12inch G4 1gHz Albook with 768MB of RAM.

Have you had any luck with your printer.
I have a Epson R265 that has become useless aswell using the same OS?

Cannot get printer to work with iMac

I cannot get my Epson printer to work with my iMac , It just keeps saying it cannot find printer.
All the other settings are correct , its just the server that fails. I have downloaded printer files ,
sometimes it does recongise it and works, then it stops, I have tried downloading the program again but it makes no difference.
Need to use printer and scanner for my job, and this is driving me mad!!

It sounds like BT's hardware may have a firewall that's blocking more than it should.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
is the printer/scanner listing from Apple.
Use this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1398 to get the latest Epson drivers if your printer/scanner is compatible.
If it isn't, here are some alternatives from my macmaps page:
Epson, alternate Australian site may have more up-to-date drivers for Epson, Epson RIP and colormatching drivers from iProof Systems, Guten-Print (formerly known as Gimp-print), and Printfab. http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/

How to align Epson print cd after snow leopard upgrade?

I have just brought everything over to a new mac - but i cant for the life of me print onto cds / dvds anymore. - using an epson stylus photo r210
It seems like the epson print cd software cant align printing onto a DVD/cd under mac osx 10.6
it prints the cd ink all over the cd tray - and misses the cd completely - well - about 10% of the printed image makes the cd - on the right hand side the is ink all over the tray.
The epson print cd software only allows alignment to within 5mm - i am about 50 mm out.
can anyone tell me how to calibrate the image so it centers on the disc?

I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). It is currently up to date with Microsoft updates. I am running Mac OS 10.6.8. I just updated my Mac software with "Security Update 2012-001". I am now unable to print (Epson NX510 printer) from Excel or Word. When I click on the Print menu item in Excel, there is a flash in the background like it is trying to open the print window, but nothing else. I am able to print from other programs like TextEdit, Mail or KakeidaGraph. As far as I know I have the latest Epson print driver.
Also, I am also unable to open an existing Excel or Word file from the open menu - both programs lock up and do not respond. I have to force quit. After I restart Excel or Word I can open an existing file by double clicking on the file, but if I again try to open another file from the open menu, Excel or Word lock up.
Any similar problems?

Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.
Links for 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1:

I just update my Mac operating system from Snow Leopard to Yosemite and now have to upgrade my Epson Printer WF3540 so that it will be able to scan. Will Adobe be compatible with these softwares?

I just update my Mac operating system from Snow Leopard to Yosemite and now have to upgrade my Epson Printer WF3540 so that it will be able to scan. Will Adobe be compatible with these softwares?

Hi spiritentrep,
What Adobe software are you referring to? Are you using Acrobat? You should have no problems running Acrobat XI on Yosemite, and as along as you have compatible scanner drivers for your Epson, you should be fine there as well.
Best,
Sara

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.

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. Any tips on how to do this?

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. I installed the current Bonjour printer services software on the Windows machine, and separately installed the driver software for the Epson printer on the WIndows machine. Running the bonjour wizard, I get an alert saying 'I don't have sufficient access to my computer to connect to the selected printer'.
The printer has 'sharing' turned on from the Mac end; this works with a Powerbook via the wireless connection. Sharing is also turned on in the Windows printer control panel for this printer (under properties). The Mac is a G5 running 10.5.8. When I try to print a page from the Windows machine it gets hung in the print queue.
Any advice how to proceed would be appreciated!
thx,

After updating my iMac to 10.9.2 it has deleted my excel and word, plus I can no longer connect my Epson printer, I can't even reload it with the disc, how can I fix this?

We updated our computer a while back to 10.9.2, but once it was complete we no longer use excel or word as the files were missing for them, plus our epson printer wouldn't work, it said something like the files for this printer could not be found, we tried to reload the printer using the disc as the printer was less than a year old but the computer would not load it probably, I called epson and they replied that there was a problem with the update and has done something to the mac driver, has anyone else had a problem with this update? and can it be sorted

Don't use the CD--it is almost always out of date. Just add the printer using Print & Scan System Prefs and it should find the correct drivers.
If not, go to the Epson website and download the current ones.
If you need the bundled software that comes on the CD, download it from Epson.
What version of Office was it? 2004 won't run on any OS after 10.6. Office 2008 and 2011 will run.
However, it should not have deleted any of your Documents.
If it was Office 2008 or 2011, try reinstalling it. I've found that Microsoft products have a hard time with change. It's like when you remove the pagoda from a goldfish bowl. To the goldfish, the world around them has changed and they freak out. Sometimes you can calm down the Microsoft products by reinstalling them.

Epson printer software not recognised after OS upgrade to 10.6.8

A few months ago I upgraded my system to OS X 10.6.8. Yesterday, I tried to use my Epson Stylus Pro 3800 inkjet printer fro the first time since the upgrade, but wasn't too surprised when I got an error message saying I needed to install software. I found the latest driver software for the 3800 on the Epson (USA) site, dated 5/3/13 and installed it. After re-booting, I tried again to print with the 3800, only to get the same error message: "You need to install software to use this printer. To install the softweare, choose Software Update from the Apple menu. If the software for yor printer isn't available in Software Update, contact the manufacturer of your printer".
Well, there is nothing relevant at all listed under"Software Update", and I reckon I have already carried out the second suggestion by downloading the latest Epson driver. Can anybody help? I depend on the 3800 for professional work, and certainly can't afford to replace it...
Thanks in advance.

Further to this problem:
I removed all the existing Epson printer files from my computer.
I also downloaded from the same Epson site Common Updater v.7.0. Once this was installed, a new and different error appeared:
Error: /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter/Filter/rastertoescp.app/Contents/MacOS/ra stertoescp failed
A Problem Report also appears when attempting to print:
