Epson Printer Utility for 10.6

I am missing the printer utility for my Epson Stylus Colour 680 printers. I have the Epson Printer Utility Lite but it says that the printers are not registered.
Any thoughts gratefully accepted.
Thanks.

  • Can't find printer in epson printer utility

    just set up new epson sylus photo r220. works great but can't check ink levels because when i open epson printer utility no printers show up. if i try opening the printer fron the "print & fax" box in system preferences and click on "supply levels" i get a "information not available" box.
    any ideas?

    Syd, you only need the GIMP Print driver if your printer doesn't have a driver for Tiger that is available from your printer's manufacturer. If reinstalling the printer's driver from the Cd that came with your Epson doesn't work, then you'll probably have to reinstall the system this time deselecting the GIMP Print driver as an optional install. Then install the Epson driver according to the instructions that came with your printer if the driver isn't already installed by Tiger.

  • Has anyone found a way to use the Epson Print Utility with an Airport?

    I have an Epson Photo 2200 connected to the USB port of my Time Capsule. Everything has been working great until recently. Now I cannot use Epson Printer Utility unless I connect the printer directly to my Mac via the USB port. It does not find the printer. Connected directly, Epson Print Utility2 works properly. Epson Print Utility3 does not find the printer, even when connected directly. Reading the various discussion threads, I am not alone and the problem is with many, if not all of the Epson printers. The Utility worked fine at one time but appears to have quit working over the network probably around OS upgrade 10.5.2. In addition, you must use the Gutenprint driver when installing the printer. Epson's gives an error.
    Has anyone found a way to use the Epson Print Utility with an Airport print server with OS 10.5.2 or later?

    Before receiving this reply, I had other problems with the Gutenprint driver. I'm not sure what I did but after playing around for about a day, the Epson driver finally worked while connected through the USB port. The printer then worked with the Airport. The print utility still doesn't work without being directly connected. (It used to work while connected to the Airport. Until recently, I never connected the printer directly to a computer.)

  • Where do I download the Epson Printer Utility?

    I recently purchased a 24" iMac. Previous to that I had a PowerPC PowerBook. I used Migration Mgr. to port all of my files from my external HD back to my new iMac. Somehow, in all of that, my Epson Printer Utility vanished. It is not to be found anywhere on the external HD. I have no idea.
    Yesterday, I downloaded the new Intel Epson printer drivers form Apple. My Epson R2400 now prints as it should. However, my colors are off which tells me that my ink levels are low. But without the printer utility, I have no idea cartridges need replacing.
    I have searched without any success for Epson's Printer Utility. If anyone knows of a source for this I would be very grateful for the link.
    Thanks,

    John,
    After reading your post I didn't know whether to scream or cry. I think you just solved this mystery. Not in a good way mind you, but at least I now understand these issues a lot better.
    To back up a bit: I did find a link for Epson drivers for my printer a few days back which I downloaded. And it is indeed the Gutenprint driver. This then explains how and why I spent all of today ******* in the wind trying to figure out why I could not -
    1. Get my existing Epson Printer Utility to launch to check my low ink cartridge levels and;
    2. Get my Epson Printer Utility 4 to launch.
    All of these issues were due to the fact that I was using the Gutenprint Epson driver. Just great. Guess I will have to use my old PowerBook to print out my business cards. I am sure there will be other obstacles ahead with this issue. IMO, all of this is beyond stupid. There must be some other way to check my ink levels.
    Anyway, because of your post, I now understand how all of this came about. Thank you for your very informative post.

  • AEBS and Epson Printer Utility

    I wonder if anyone knows of any work-arounds for being able to use the Epson printer utility while using Airport Extreme Base Station? Printer does not show up in window when it searches, since it's connected to AEBS, thus cannot use utility that shows ink levels, or cleans out heads,etc! I have to connect it back to desktop (or laptop)to be able to use.

    That is expected. See KB 107430, AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express: Can't use USB printer utilities while printer sharing.

  • 10.8.3 does not support the Epson Printer Utility.  Now no way to clean or align the heads on my workhorse R2400 printer?

    The Epson Printer Utility 4 still resides in the /HD/Library/Printers/EPSON/inkjetPrinter 2/Utility/UT4 folder but crashes the iMac when run.  I've also lost ability to use the Firewire connection like many others.  Frustrating.  Without being able to align and clean the heads on this printer, it's practically useless.  I have a couple hundred wedding photos to print.  What do I do now?  Rhetorical question ....

    Customers have moved to the Mac platform because they "believed" it's better than Windows. I moved there for this same reason more than five years ago.  Prior to Mountain Lion, I agree MacOS was stable and I could download every update that "pops up as available" in "There's a new update for MacOS" and I would download it without checking the particulars of what was updated.  I trust them, it's Apple.  Everyone would likely chose the same option.
    How many times do you, or anyone else, read all the detail about what gets changed when you download this update and mentally make a decison rather or not to download it?   Most people have no clue what this update changes, like me, and are going to download it because I trust "it" because it came from Apple. I don't want to find out later, and I may not notice this problem until a long time later, that something that used to work doesn't work now.  Is that my shortcoming or is it Apple's problem?
    So what should customers do?  After every update, check to make sure that everything works that used to work?  Impracticle.  I have dozens of apps on my Mac. After every update am I supposed to check that eah one still works?
    I won't go back and install a previous version from the TM and rebuild my Mac.  If Apple dosn't like previously intalled software, like the drivers for my Epson printer, they need to tell me upfront IN BIG BOLD LETTERS without me having to read all the fine print.  They also need to tell me that because THEY CAN'T DEAL WITH MY EPSON PRINTER any longer and I shouldn't download this update and any further updates for MacOS into the future because they have coersed Epson into only allowing Apple to update the drivers for this printer.  What am I supposed to do in the future?  I'm stuck with this old version of MacOS forever?
    You and I both know this won't work.  Apple has to provide support for my Epson R2400 printer and every other device that doesn't work under 10.8.3.  Otherwise they will lose in the end.  Simple as that.  They need to provide support for the devices that people use whatever they are, or suffer the consequences.
    Apple's successes have made them too "cocky" lately.  Microsoft was there at one time.  Maybe Mircosoft will climb back to the mountain top and Apple won't realize it until it's too late.
    Like I said in earlier posts, "Apple needs to fix this problem."  I have no loyalty to anyone except myself and family.

  • Epson Printer Utility Lite in 10.6.8 has no Align Print Heads Feature

    I am running 10.6.8 with my Epson Stylus Photo R200. The printer driver is now called Epson Printer Utility Lite, but no longer has the Align Print Heads feature which I really need to use. I would appreciate finding out if there is a way to do this automatically as in earlier systems. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Using this > Epson 2.7 Printer Drivers in 10.6.8 with my Epson.
    The Print Head Alignment is available when I go to System Preferences > Print & Fax and select Options and Supplies....
    then select Utility > Open Printer Utility
    and select Print Head Alignment.

  • Lost my Epson printer utility

    After installing the Snow Leopard upgrade, I lost my Epson printer utility and can't seem to get another one to install. I've lost the ability to check my ink cartridge levels. Snow Leopard just won't allow me to install another one. Ideas? Thanks.

    What model of printer is it? Is there a Snow Leopard driver for it? If so, make sure you are not using the Gutenprint driver.

  • Printer Utility for Canon i9900 and OS 10.5.4

    I'm having trouble getting my System to recognize the printer utility for my Canon i9900. I can print with the standard mac printer utility but I don't get all the functionality. I've tried Printfab as well, no luck. Any ideas?

    How is the printer connected? Usually the utility will only work if the printer is connected via usb. I don't think there is a Gutenprint driver for this printer, but the utility will also only work when the printer has been added with the manufacturer's driver.
    Hope this helps.

  • Epson Print Utility freezes often

    When I want to clean print head, I have to launch Epson Print Utility, but it usually have the color wheel spinning and if I go to finder or other running program and try to get to force quit, the color spinning wheels appears once I click the apple icon. the only thing to do is to restart Mac by pushing the start button. Sometimes after restart, I can get the print utility to work.
    Epson website is pretty much useless, so does anyone has any ideas or work around? I hate to have to restart my Mac every time when I need to print something. Thanks.

    Hi Randy, try this 1st...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.

  • The Printer Utility for my Epson CX 5000 is missing

    I hope there is help for me here.  I have 2 software updates for my Epson CX5000 all-in-one printer listed in the Software update. The Printer Utility file/folder/software is missing.  I have done multiple searches with no success in finding it in my iMac with the newly upgraded OSX Mavericks. It is so difficult to get the software for this printer.  Unable to get it from the Epson site.  Can get only from Mac Software update.  Is there a way to remove the software updates which are the same and start anew?  Updates are dated June 19th.

    I don't recall where I found this info but here is what I did. It is so simple that I wish I had found it several weeks ago. I removed all printers then rebooted.I don't remember if I turned printer off and/or unplugged it from USB on machine or not.  It was on and connected to machine before I  restarted.    Mac OS recognized printer and the utility and what I needed was all there. I really would like the most current Utility for my Printer but I have the basics now so that makes me happy.
    Thank you greg for your help. As I think back I believe I got this info from the Epson site. Here is the link to what I did.

  • OS 10.3.9 - Can't run printer utility for Epson 1520

    My ink jets are clogged, but I can't run the printer utility. It's grayed out in the print monitor and I can't click on it. I had the same problem a few months ago and downloaded a driver someone recommended. It worked, but it was a trial version and started printing logos on everything after 30 days. So I uninstalled it. Ideally, I need a free printer driver. Or if not, another trial version will get me by for now.
    Thanks

    Have you tried downloading and installing the latest Epson driver? The Epson driver should include a printer utility.

  • Epson Print Utility missing

    I insatlled the latest Guten driver so I could use the automatic paper cutter. I did not realize I would loss the support for the utilities. Which I find utterly stupid. Why would they take that away?? Who wants a printer that they are unable to clean the heads on or check your ink levels???
    I did a search and see that I have the Epson Print Utiliy folder in a previous sytem. Is this something I can use? I tried to copy it and drag it into the Libaray/Printer folder it did not work. How do I get it into the application folder where it belongs?
    If I can use Pacifist to do this can someone instruct me on how to do that??
    Thanks for any help on this.

    Did you add a printer using the Epson drivers? You may not want to use that printer to print, but it might be necessary to have a print queue with the Epson drivers established before the Utility will recognize it.
    I would try the Gutenprint Utility but I am pretty sure it does not support the Epson Stylus Photo 2200.
    Is there a basis for that statement? There are some Epson printers that do not work with the Gutenprint Epson Inkjet Printer Utility. Most will work, however.

  • Epson Print Utility not working in 10.4

    I've had this problem for a long time, and thought posting a topic on here might get me a solution. I have a old epson C42UX. Work great with printing, but I am unable to use the Print Utility program anymore for maintenance. It just locks up... the program itself never opens. i think this has happened ever since I updated to 10.4... a long time I know. Can anyone tel me how to fix this. There appears to be no software update on the epson web site.

    What drivers are you using? My guess is that you are using the Guteprint drivers. That latest driver from Epson says that it supports OS X 10.1.3 - OS X 10.1.5, so I don't think Epson produced a driver that would work in OS X 10.4.x.
    If your printer is not supported by Epson drivers, you will not be able to use the Epson Utility.
    If you are indeed using the Gutenprint drivers, upgrade them to the latest version (5.2.2) from _http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php_. There is a text based utility included on the disk image for Epson inkjet printers. It will allow you to run a nozzle check, clean the heads, and align the heads. You will not be able to get the ink levels however.
