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.

Adobe Pdf Printer stopped working after update to Acrobat DC

Hello, I have installed Acrobat DC yesterday. Since then, Adobe Pdf Printer stopped working. It always gets stuck at Checking Fonts and any software the print originated from just hangs and I have to force it closed.
I tried uninstalling the printer and installing it manually, repairing Acrobat installation but nothing changed.
So, can somebody help me? Thanks.

A method which is written here not working - because if you start to remove the fonts one by other you will see that the list does not end there.
I did so
1. i copied the folder with the fonts from the other clean system and replace with fonts in my system
2. then i restore the registry tree HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
3. i check system with sfc /scannow
after these procedures Distiller DC continue to crash...
In this time distiller crashed when it cheking their fonts in C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Resources\Font
after i rename the folder from Font to Font_ in order to he did not check this folder
at next run Distiller crashed at the font wingding.ttf after remowing that font he crash at Vrinda.ttf (this is a oficial font of Win7 and come with him) after removing that font distiller crash at the next font name of Vani.ttf (this is a Win7 font too) - when i saw it goes on forever i back my system to normal status and uninstal Acrobat DC and back to Acrobat XI...this version work with out any problems.
We are waiting a hotfix to resolving this problem with Acrobat DC

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.

GCC Elite 21n+ Printer Stop working after Upgrade to Snow Leopard

GCC Elite 21n+ B&W Laser Printer no longer works after upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.2.
A back-up HP 2015DN Printer works intermittently. It will not work with ethernet cable connected to Net Gear Ethernet Hub (model FS105). But will work most of the time when ethernet cable is connected directly to back of computer.
Back to GCC printer. Just cannot get it to work.
But I cannot figure out what the IP address is for the GCC printer. Tried 192.168.1.4:9300
See post (discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10127869). Still did not work.
GCC tech have this work around. Here is what I received from GCC via email.
+At 01/02/2010 12:21 AM we wrote -+
+Since Apple has made the decision to eliminate Appletalk from it's Operating System, you are now forced to set the printer up over TCP/IP. Please keep in mind that GCC has never provided drivers for the Mac. We use the Apple Built in Print Driver. We do provide an OS X PPD Installer located on our website that I recommend you download, unstuff, install, reboot your Mac, then add the printer. You can find the Installer at http://www.gccprinters.com/support/doc/ Click on the Model of your printer and download the OS X Installer. DO NOT download the Applications Folder.+
+You will need to set the printer up over TCP/IP, which means you will need to pull the IP Address of the printer from the Printers Configuration Page. Once you've done that, please do the following:+
+You can add the printer over IP, that should work fine. Here are some steps for you to take.+
+1) Select 'System Preferences...' (4th item) from the 'Apple' menu. The 'System Preference' panel will appear as a new window.+
+2) Click on 'Print & Fax' icon (second row 'Hardware', second icon from right side). The 'System Preferences' panel will change into the 'Print & Fax' panel without opening a new window.+
+3) Click on the '+' button to add a printer (2/3 the way down on the left side on the 'Print & Fax' panel). The 'Add Printer' dialog will open in a new window.+
+4) Select the 'IP' icon in the top row of the 'Add Printer' dialog.+
+5) Next to 'Protocol' select LPD Line Printer Daemon.+
+6) Next to 'Address' type in the IP address you assigned to the printer. The Mac should prompt "complete and valid address".+
+7) (Optionally) Next to 'Name' set the name of the printer to something friendlier. Normally it defaults to the IP address enter in the previous step. The 'Name' is what the printer is called in the print dialog.+
+8) (Optionally) Next to 'Print Using' change/verify the PPD.+
+9) Click 'Add' in the bottom right corner. After a few moments the 'Add Printer' dialog will close.+
+10) The printer added in the previous step will appear in the list on the left side of the 'Print & Fax' panel. Click on the close box in the left-top of the 'Print & Fax' panel.+
+11) Done. You should be ready to print.+
Still cannot get the GCC printer to work or discover its IP address. Printer's Configuration page says
TCP/IP: Enabled IP address: Unknown subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
When I download the Drivers from GCC Web Site I only get a Text Document with loads of meaningless
gibberish. There is nothing to unstuff and install.
All worked well with OS 10.5.
Thanks for shedding any light.
John L.
Thanks,
John

Hello John,
At this stage you will not be able to get this to print until the printer has a valid IP address. According to your post, the IP address setting is enabled but the actual IP address is unknown. This is most likely a result of the GCC being set to DHCP but if there is no DHCP server or router capable of assigning the printer an IP address, then it will not get a valid address.
So, the first thing I recommend is you check the documentation for manually setting an IP address into the printer. This address needs to be in the same subnet as your Mac. If you check System Preferences > Network on the Mac, you will see your IP address and subnet mask. If the subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0, then you subnet will be the first three sets of numbers. For example, a device with an IP address of 192.168.1.12 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 has a subnet of 19.2.168.1 and a network address of 12. Ideally, so that other devices can communicate with this device, they also need a subnet of 192.168.1 but a different network address, any number between 1 and 250 but one that is not already being used by another device, such as 12 in this example.
Once you have the IP address set in the printer, then you add the printer as the GCC tech stated, using IP > LPD for the protocol. Note that you will only need to enter the IP address, such as 192.168.1.4 as per your post example. Don't enter any other numbers, such as the 9300 port reference you have tried already the colon after the IP address followed by the 9300).
For the Print Using, you can use Generic PostScript to begin with as a test. If you then wanted to use the GCC PPD, then the link is okay. When you select the 21+n the next page shows the 21+ installer for OS 9 and OS X. This is a stuffit packed file so you will need some form of Stuffit (Stuffit Expander is a free download) to unpack the file first. Once unpacked, there is most likely an installer that you run. This will copy the PPD files for the printer to the appropriate folder.
Hope this helps. Please reply if you require more help.

CD/DVD Reader Stopped Working After Yosemite Upgrade

My partner and I both have Mac Mini's (late 2012) versions. They came loaded with Mavericks. He recently upgraded to Yosemite and I did not. I have heard there are "Wi-Fi" issues and "don't want to fix something that ain't broke"!! He connects directly to our ATC, so he doesn't need to be concerned about those issues, however; he came home from getting an Xray yesterday and wanted to copy the CD they gave him. He's never done that before, so I said: "Sure, give me a blank and I'll burn a copy for you. Loaded up the Xray CD on his Mac and it started to read then just quit. The drive did not show up in the sidebar of Finder, like it does in Mavericks.....OK, so let me take the disc into my office and see if I can read. No problems, the disc loaded right up. I copied the files into my "Burn Folder"; loaded up the blank and burned all the files to it; just like it's supposed to. This morning I thought maybe his drive might be bad. We both have the same external USB 3.0 CD/DVD burners. Brought the drive and his cable into my office, plugged it in and it took off working like it was supposed to. So that eliminates the drive and cable. Took it back into his office and plugged it into a "known" good port on his machine, same thing, no work and had to eject the disc with a paper clip in the eject hole. Although his machine seems to address the drive (it will start and spin the disc), nothing shows up in his sidebar or desktop. Help...What's the problem???

This might help. If you haven't done so yet, try installing Apple's SuperDrive Firmware Update 3.0, which is on Apple's support site at http://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201953 to see if that resolves it. Although it's not specifically for that problem, the firmware update seems to be important for making external SuperDrives work in Yosemite, and it is one step I used to get my SuperDrive to work in a USB external case when plugged into my MacBook Pro.
Please let us know either way, whether the firmware update helps or not in your situation.

Printing stopped working after 10.6.5 upgrade

Hi,
after 10.6.5 upgrade I cannot print.
I cannot access the printing preferences through System Preferences.
So I cannot remove the printer driver.
Printer is a Brother MFC-325C.
Printer is not connected to the mac, but I cannot still access the preferences.
Help? Ideas?
Thanx
Luca

I'm having a similar issue Luca with a client-site.
10.6.5 (by all counts, after auditing system changes) has simply cut the communication to the Epson 3800 and Epson 3880 they have. I am in the process of downloading the Xcode Tools, and then proceeding to rebuild CUPS 1.4.4 onto the system(s) to see if that forces a resolution.
There are known issues with 10.6.5 printing and CUPS 1.4.5 as of this moment in time. None of the known issues (as in, publically acknowledged by Apple) indicate corruption of the SysPref Pane for Printers nor the inability to print at all.
If CUPS 1.4.4 flash doesn't work, I shall restore from Time Machine.
Luca-
Your next step is to reset the prefpane, and then restore from backups.

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?

HP photosmart printer stopped working after 10.4.9 update - Genericclass

We have an old hp photosmart 1218 that has been printing from our iMac for the last 6 months. I wanted to update the drivers (first mistake) due to some color problems which I did right around the same time that the software updated to 10.4.9. Now it won't print and we get GenericClass: waiting for device. We have spent 3 days trying everything that we could find on the boards. It seems many folks have problems with HP drivers particularly during an OS update. Of course Apple won't support us since the printer is old, and HP says that it isn't supported. But it worked on 10.4.8!
Here are the references to everything we've tried:
1. Printer is setup via the Options/More Printers button so it does have a URI
2. Tried killing the HP Communications process - interesting effect - the system would pick a random page, say it was completed and finish the job. http://software-robotics.com/graphic-design-prepress/viewtopic.php?t=727
No printout, however.
3. Tried opening the printer setup utility with Rosetta per spybrook's advice at: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=327725&start=15&tstart=0 Still get the genericclass error.
4. Tried moving the printer to a PC and print through the network but that is another headache altogether so nevermind that!
5. Deleted everything that said HP or photosmart and uninstalled numerous times.
We are at wits end and since I did this on my husband's work computer, I am way in the dog house! Any further advice would be appreciated. Oh, and several glasses of wine have also be tried to no avail, though we didn't care nearly as much afterward!

iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

For the benefit of all those old HP printer users, I will list what I did that seemed to fix my problem. I wish it were more scientific to tell you exactly, but after 40 hours or so of messing with this, I was getting sloppy and losing hope. We actually went out looking at new printers today....
But, tonight, from a fresh reboot, I left the HP drivers on the Mac (accidentally). I downloaded both SP Ghostscript 7.07.1 and the hpijs-foomatic package found at http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs When I went to set up the printer, my Photosmart was in the list on the setup utility for the first time. I had great hope.... but then received the genericclass hang when printing again. sigh. I logged in and out, but still the same hang.
But, I noticed that the HP drivers were still installed and thought that maybe there was a conflict between the two so I tried the HP unstaller but it hung. So I reinstalled the HP drivers, then noticed there was an update so I downloaded it and walked through the setup with the photosmart again. My 1218 printer was now on the More Printers list (without having to hold down Options Advanced sequence) so I selected it, tried a print run, and voila! It worked.
I'm not sure which combination worked whether the update from HP, the generic linux drivers, or both, but I don't dare touch it now.
Thanks, Greg, for your suggestions!

HP7160 photo printer stopped working after 8.1 update. Just stays in queue

I do not know what bit it is. I have a pavilion 20 HP all in one. It seems after the latest update nothing is working. application and printer.

Hello @dlw0321 , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are having issues printing since updating to 8.1. I would like to help!
I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration. You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Sorry, the thread is confusing and doesn't point me to the file that needs to be changed.
That thread explains exactly what files you need to change or create.
I have tried searchs in the past and they don't help much.
Then maybe Arch isn't the best OS for your needs.

MG5550 printer stopped working after firmware update!!!

My MG5550 is only a couple of weeks old and has been working perfectly up until now.   I got a couple of reminders to up date the firmware to the latest version.
I followed the instructions and the down load completed and I got a message saying update successful but when I tried to print a document in my useual way it refused to print.   No error message was shown on the printer. I rebooted both printer and laptop a couple of times but to no avail.
Got couple of messages on laptop saying 'printer busy' and 'no communication with printer'.
I'm useing Win 7, connection is via WIFI, printer firmware is now 3.080
Help please I urgently need to print some docs.

It seem to have sorted itself out.    When it I could not get it to work I eventually gave up in disgussed.   To my surprise when I switched it on a couple of days later, it printed the page I was attepting to print and since then it has been OK.   No sure what happened to fix it may have been something to do with a reboot.
I dont think this printer is as good as my previous Canon 4300 but having the scanner/copier on board is really useful.   Find the paper feed is not very reliable where as the 4300 never ever missed a sheet.
