Epson Printer Not Working

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.

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.

Printer sharing with Epson printer not working

I have an iMac using OS X 10.5.5 with 2 printers, an Apple LaserWriter Select 360 and an Epson Stylus Photo 820. I want to share these printers with Windows XP machines. The Apple LaserWriter works fine. I can print from the Windows machine without any problems.
The Windows machine sends the file to the Epson, but it never shows up in the Epson print queue. Drivers from Epson have been installed and Windows indicates every thing is OK. Windows sees the printer and does not indicate any problem.
Every thing else is the same for both printers.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Fran

OS X printing is based on postscript.
Print queues on OS X expect to receive postscript.

Epson Printer Not Working Over WIFI

I have an Epson XP-400 printer and am having trouble getting anything to print over the Wifi connection (I've already contacted Epson and they're saying it's probably an issue with OS X). The printer queue keeps telling me "The printer is not connected". I've gone through the whole wifi setup, and have gotten it to print in the past just fine, but whenever the printer goes to sleep, it ceases to wake up when I tell it to print. I have to manually go upstairs and hit the power button. But even then, it takes another minute or two to finally decide to print the thing. It's a huge pain in the butt...
Is this an issue with how my settings are configured inside OS X?

I was wondering if one of the recent mountain lion updates has caused this issue eg the Airport Update.
The recent updates were to the Airport Utility which is only used to configure Apple Airport base stations such as Airport Express, Time Capsule, and Airport Base Station and an update to the firmware in the Airport base stations. There was also a recent update to the Canon printer drivers. So unless you actually ran Disk Utility and changed the configuration and/or updated the base station firmware they would have no effect on your printer connectivity.
You may be encountering WiFi network interference from other WiFi networks on the same or adjacent channels. There are a number of apps that will analyze your local WiFi network environment, If you do not have one there are some available at reasonable cost from the App Store. There are several free apps but they only show your particular WiFi signal. You need one that shows ALL the network activity in your environment. WiFi Radar is one that will do nicely. If you find another network on the same or adjacent network channels when the printer quits working configure your wireless router/base station to work on another channel. That may solve your problem.

Printer not working following iPad uodate

Printer not working following iPad upgrade

Hi,
Is the printer not mechanically working or are you having a problem with printing wirelessly from your device? Was the upgrade to the ipad software or did you get a new ipad?
Try restarting your apple device - It's a simple fix that sometimes helps re-establish the connection to the printer.
Other things to check would be that there have been no recent changes to the wifi password.

File- Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13

File->Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13.
I downloaded sqldeveloper-1.2.1.3213.ZIP and extract to a local directory. From the extracted directory I ran ..\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper.exe from Windows XP sp2. The program itself seems to run just fine but File-Print doesn't do anything. In Help-About, Java Platform is reported as 1.5.0_06 and Oracle IDE is 1.2.1.3213. I'm not sure where to look for what is causing the problem.
Thanks

I hadn't tried CTRL-P before but I did today. On the first attempt, I saw a small jump in the memory usage for sqldeveloper.exe as reported in Windows Task Manager. Otherwise, there was no change. A second CTRL-P in the same session produced a further bump but subsequent attempts in the same session produced no further change in CPU or Memory Usage.
Using Task Manager to monitor this further, I tried File->Print again and saw that sqldeveloper would periodically climb to 1 or 2 percent CPU and consume a little more memory. After a minute or so, though, all activity stops again.
I do not get a print dialog box from SQLDeveloper using either CTRL-P or File->Print

I cant access any printers, not even the virtual printers.
What I would do is use ProcMon to find out why that Event entry was written. Then I imagine I would get a clue about a .dll which might be involved, which hopefully might be registerable. Since IE9 there have been new .dll involving printing
which have not been reflected in any of our repair tools. However, instead of modifying our old scripts to reflect this fact, I have been advocating, so far unsuccessfully, that Microsoft create a proper IE Repair tool, one which does not rely on such
unreliable techniques.   E.g. a better method of repairing would be to have it done by a proper troubleshooter (an .msdt file) but so far it seems nothing has been done in that way for these symptoms (again, assuming the cause is registry corruption
and not simple interference from now incompatible third-party programming--the fix for that would be to identify and remove the incompatibilities.)   For example.

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?

Why does my Kodak printer not work with yosemite?

ever since upgrading to yosemite, my kodak printer will not work. i got as far as being able to download a software update but still no joy.

My kodak 5250 would not print and I tryed the termial with no luck and then i received an email from nowater and turn on Bonjuor in safair and now I am printing i did not enter the ip address of my printer
heres the email
I decided to poke around in the Epson settings via the web interface. To do this, just enter the printer's IP address in a browser that's on the same network (you may have to skip some HTTPS / certificate warnings). From there I looked around until I found Wi-Fi/Network Settings / Services / Protocol. On my system, Use Bonjour was unchecked. I had seen in other people screenshots and videos that when the Add Printer tool works, it shows that it connects via Bonjour Multifunction, so I enabled Bonjour and saved the settings. After waiting a few minutes for the settings to be applied, I was able to add the printer via the Add Printer Default tab (I did change the "Use" setting from "Secure AirPrint" to "Epson WF-3620 Series" option -- I think this is the Epson specific driver).
I don't know if Bonjour is disabled by default or if I turned it off somehow in the past and forgot, but it's an easy enough fix that might work for someone else so I thought I should share.
OTHER posible solotion
Go to Spotlight, then enter Terminal and press Enter.
The terminal window/program opens.
Enter sudo sh -c 'echo "Sandboxing Relaxed" >> /etc/cups/cups-files.conf' in the terminal.
Enter your system OS login password when prompted.
Note: The password you enter will not appear, which is normal. Be sure to enter the correct password.
Enter sudo launchctl stop org.cups.cupsdYour screen will look similar to the following:

Printer not working after 10.6.8 update

Hi,
My printer was working fine until I updated my imac to 10.6.8.
Now, i have been getting this error whenever i try to print:
Error:/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/ MacOS/rastertoescpII failed
I have an Epson stylus PHOTO RX640.
Im not sure about the driver as i havent needed to download a driver manually, before when I first tried the printer(before update) it automatically worked and printed and didnt ask me anything about drivers..
I tried deleting my print queue, restarting everything, changed my printer to factory settings. (I've looked on other places and i wasnt sure what it meant bby manually adding printer queue..?o.O)
My printer only doesnt want to print. it scans fine, just doesnt print.
HELP PLEASEEE

I don't think that it was the 10.6.8 update. There was an update to the Epson drivers that came out only a couple of days before 10.6.8 became available. You most likely installed the Epson 2.7 drivers along with 10.6.8. That version of the Epson drivers will not work with your printer. See my post in a similar thread on how to revert back to the Epson 20.6 drivers.

Shared printer not working (most of the time)

I have a Mac Pro running Snow Leopard using a shared Epson R380 printer connected to a G5 (running Leopard) . Most of the time it doesn't work, but occasionally it will. On the Mac Pro, the Epson monitor says "print job accepted" but doesn't change. On the G5, the Epson monitor shows the print job, but says "job stopped". When trying to resume the job, a warning box pops up on the G5 saying "Operation C0uld Not Be Completed - client-error-not-possible".
The shared printer works fine (most of the time, too) with another networked Mac, a Mac mini G4 running Leopard.
All OS's are the latest possible.

Sharing between Leopard and Snowleopard does not work reliably. For this reason, we do not recommend mixing Operating Systems.
Hope this helps,
Syd

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.

Epson scanner not work with Mountain Lion?

I have an Epson Expressio 1600Pro scanner with transparency adaptor. It has worked perfectly with previous Macs using OSX 10.4. I have recently bought a MacBook pro and upgraded it to OSX 10.8. I went to Epson's website to get a new driver etc. That tells you it can only be downloaded via Mac Software Update. That was duly done and installed. System prefs lists it under printer and scanners. OK
I have also installed Photoshop Elements 11 and expected to be able to scan direct to there but nothing seems possible. Going to Help says use Image capture or Preview. Yes! there is a small very rudimentary scanning window appears in both apps. Now the problem! Nothing happens. I have tried ALL the various meagre settings on offer, changing size, resolution, custom etc and all that happens is a small rectangle of a scan occurs but no resulting file.
I have been on to Epson who say ONLY image capture will work with 10.8 but as it is a 3rd party software they can offer no assistance. Well image capture does NOT work. I have spent all afternoon trying various things like restarting, unplugging, reconnecting etc etc nothing.
10.8 does seem very buggy. I have even had to stop using Mail and Safari simply because it doesn't work whereas Thunderbird and Firefox work very well.
But I digress, does anyone have any thoughts please?

The following comments are based on installing an Epson RX700 All-in-one printer/copier/scanner so they may not be applicable to you but, for what it's worth here they are. The RX700 scanner worked perfectly with Snow Leopard and then Lion but, when I changed to Mountain Lion, and used the app store to download and install the drivers, I lost the Epson scanner utility (ie. the user interface that gives you all the scanner options).
However, if I used System Preferences and then the Print and Scan option, it brought up a small window where I could select either Print or Scan. Selecting Scan or Open Scanner from this window then opens up a window with all the scanner options in it, including an overview scan. This window has the option to either Hide Details (all the detailed scanner options - resolution, size, output file name etc) or Show them. As far as I can see, this window is actually the Image Capture app, although it doesn't say so.
It might be a long shot but try changing the Auto Selection box in this window to one of the other options (eg. "Detect Separate Items") or setting the "Scan to" to a file.
