Epson printer not working after maverick 10.9.5 update
I recently updated my 2011 Macbook Pro with the OSX 10.9.5 software. Since then I have had a lot of trouble printing on my EPSON NX430 small in one wireless printer. I have tried deleting the printer from the printer list as well as removing the EPSON software, and re-downloading the EPSON print driver package from the apple website again. When I go to add the printer, in the print list, it seems to see it, but can't automatically find the print driver (I have to manually assign it.) When added the printer appears to be on "idle" and when I try to print the job seems to be sent though (the printer returns to idle) but nothing prints! I'm at my wits end with this - it is so annoying, and I've spent way too much time trying to troubleshoot. I do NOT recommend updating to Maverick!
Try some generic maintenance (we're trying to avoid reinstalling OS X):
Restart into Safe Mode, which does some system repairs. When it's finished, restart normally.
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Next, Reset the Printing System:
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
Now, add the printer in Print & Scan prefs.
(PS - even if this doesn't fix it, it eliminates many possible glitches for troubleshooting. The things you've done just scratched the surface.)
BTW - you didn't need to download the Epson package. The new Apple driver paradigm is that the driver is automagically installed when you add the printer in Print & Scan prefs. And if that doesn't work, you have other issues with OS X.

Mac mail not working after Mavericks 10.9.4 update
Help! Mac Mail was working fine, on all 3 of my different email accounts, until I did the Mavericks 10.9.4 update yesterday. Now I cannot receive or send mail and it shows all accounts are offline. Connection doctor says it cannot connect to server. I am able to get online fine and I check with my provider Verizon and all is working perfectly with them......it must be something to do with the update that screwed something up. Any help or suggestions would be AWESOME!

Then open System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
Select your printer on the left then click - (minus)
Then click + (plus) to add the printer. -
Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?
Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?
I had the same problem due to the Fire Wire port. Apple tested it told me it is OK!, I tried a new cable, and have tested both ports on my back up device. I find it strange that as soon as I installed Mavericks. The drive does work using USB. It could be a coincidence, I don't absolutely know at this point, my back up drive ports could stop working, but I doubt it!

Re: Safari 7.0 zoom not working after Mavericks upgrade.
Hey there sarunelis,
It sounds like after updating to 10.9 the zoom function is not functioning at all. It sounds like you may need to check for 3rd party plugins. This article will help you check for that.

Epson 3800 not working with Mavericks even after downloading new driver
Epson 3800 printer stoped working when I upgraded to Mavericks. Downloaded the latest Epson driver, v9.17, keep getting error message and not able to print although I can add the printer in Printers/Scanners. Been on the phone with Epson, no results, they recommend talking wth Apple. Hah! Anyone else with this issue? Do I need to go back to Mountain Lion? How big a deal?
Is it an AL-C3800? If so, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669 shows it's supported. Did you try deleting and re-adding the printer? Installing updates?
If not of that works, try deleting the the /Library/Printer/EPSON and the /Library/Caches/Epson/ folder and then reinstalling the updates. -
I have an Epson Stylus SX510w and since updating to Mavericks the scanner won't work. The printer works fine but the scanner does not.
I have tried using Image Capture, Preview, Photoshop and also system preferences>printers & scanners. In each case I am met with the message 'an error occured trying to connect to the scanner'.
I have the latest software update, I checked, and I even downloaded and installed it again just to make sure (Epson printer driver ver. 2.7)
All suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.Thanks for the quick response.
The error actually came up after it opened the new window for the scanner preview, and before it warmed up was when the error message occured.
I had actually tried that a couple of times - adding a new printer, removing them both, adding them again - to no avail, and in the "use" field I had checked it was the right model selected as oppsoed to auto.
Believe it or not it worked by when adding it as a new printer, in the "use" field choosing the "select printer" option and manually searching for my printer model. I figured I may as well try that before another printer model and it worked! Who knows why it went in the first place but all is well now.
Hopefully it'll stay that way! Thanks again. -
File sharing not working after mavericks install
I have upgraded both my MB Air and my Mini to Mavericks and have discovered that sharing between the two over my wi-fi network is not working. I cannot share the printer from my mini to the Air, and when I try to "connect to server" under the "go" menu in finder, it says, "there was a problem connecting to the server "mini.local".
Any help?Hi Bryan_Jay,
Any resolution to this issue? I have the exact same setup. A 2013 MB Air on a Time Capsule network with a 2013 Mac Mini. The strange thing is that sharing worked fine after the Mavericks upgrade for about 2 weeks; after that point I cannot connect to shared folders on the Mini from the MacBook, but am able to connect from the Mini to the MacBook. On an interesting note, I am able to connect to the Mini from the MacBook using Screen Sharing. I'm wondering if a system update might have caused the problem.
Hope you're up and running!

Epson printer stopped working after yosemite
All of a sudden, after Apple autoupdate installed yosemite update and new epson drivers, my printer will only print first line of a document.
I've tried deleting and reinstalling printer, repairing and verifying drive, deleting printer library files, unplugging, rebooting... nothing is working. Does anyone have a solution for me? Help!My Epson WF-4360 "lost it's mind" after being accidentally unplugged for most of a day.
The printer DID work from Yosemite both before and after the "loss of power"
The printer DID work from iOS before the loss of power ... but stopped working after that
ALL the printer status reported to be fine -- showed the wi-fi network address and connection ... but was NOT discoverable from iOS
This fix resolved the issue:
Find the wi-fi IP address of the printer -- either from the printer or the network (mine was a local IP ... 10.0.1.n)
Go to Safari on the iOS device -- enter the IP address of the printer
Scroll down to the BASIC SETTINGS on the left side menu
Scroll down to the AirPrint Setup button ... click to start
Click OK -- to advance through the menus ... two separate browser pages for me
You will see AirPrint "Setup Complete"
From iOS ... the printer is now discoverable. -

Canon S750 printer not working after upgrading to Leopard
Leopard is brilliant, and everything works after I upgraded from Tiger except... my Canon S750 printer gives error messages and fails to print. This is VERY annoying. I can't seem to find an S750 driver for OS X 10.5 on Canon's web site. So, what to do next? Just wait, and keep logging on to Canon's web site in the hope that, one day, the driver will be there? I can't find any official statement from Canon as to what they're up to. Are they currently working on drivers for Leopard? Do they have any projected "release dates"? Are they at all interested, or would they prefer to sell me another printer perhaps? Any information on what I should do now will be gratefully received. Thanks.
UPDATE... my S750 printer has suddenly started to print OK! This is rather bizarre, since I've not re-booted, haven't un-installed/re-installed the printer. End of topic!

An associate and myself installed the built-in drivers for the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus multi-function (network) printer on a Windows Server 2012 Standard server installation and everything worked fine whenever I want to print anything directly from the
Windows Server machine (there's a reason for this, so please understand that ;) ).
We were able to print without any problems from the Windows Server 2012 machine, using the drivers from Microsoft. Mainly, because HP has not listed any specific support for Windows Server 2012, only Windows Server 2008 R2, however, the drivers that
came with Windows 2012 seem to work very well.
PROBLEM: I later had to promote the Windows Server 2012 to a Domain Controller, and created the Active Directory configurations, even enabled the Print Services. After doing all of that, the HP printer will not print anything. It's like all print
requests directly from the Windows Server go to Nil.
Has anyone encountered a problem like this before? The only thing I can think of is that after perhaps something affected printing directly once we promoted the server to being a DC, and added other features / roles. I even tried installing the
HP drivers for Windows Server 2008 R2, and the results are still the same...nothing prints. Trust me, the printer is set as the Default Printer and even when choosing to print, we make sure the HP OfficeJet Pro is selected, and is on, as other Windows
Client PC's can print to it directly.
Does anyone have any suggestions we could try? Thanks in advance.While it is quite a while since this was posted - I can concur a similar issue exists.
We have spent the better part of a day trying to work out why other HP printers work fine but our 8620 prints are not printing and going to Nil. The print server is hosted on a shared DC. Comparing to the initial posters details, for some reason
it seems to be most commonly related to the OfficeJet Pro 8600/8610/8620/8630 series printers.
I ended up doing a print server migration from the domain controller to stand alone host and all printers now work from a single server rather than a mix. Domain controller OSes varied from 2008, 2012, 2012 R2 (tested with multiple) and only after
all of those failed then tried a stand alone server os machine as a last resort which worked fine. Printing directly from Win 7 / 8 /8.1 clients to the IP always worked.
