Epson printers no longer collate

Hi everyone,
I have an Epson Stylus Office TX600FW (apparently it's the same as the Office works, etc in different parts of the world). Under Leopard, everything was fine and multi-page documents collated properly.
Under Snow Leopard, with either the built-in drivers or the drivers downloaded from the Epson website, the pages refuse to collate at all. Even de-selecting the collate tick box doesn't change anything.
I've uninstalled the Epson drivers and rebooted, and then used the Snow Leopard ones, still no luck.
Any advice?

Sorry I don't have a fix. But I have this issue with the Dx7400 Epson Printer and Scanner.

Lion OS and Epson printers not printing photos through Aperture or CS4

Hi everyone,
I have done a search on the above topic but nothing obvious is coming up as a solution (ie...sorry if it has been done before)
It's driving me mad.
I have 2 epson printers, R300 and Stylus 1400.
They were both performing perfectly well before installation of osx lion.
They will both print word and pages documents perfectly, they will also print from pdf and screen dump.....so they are mechanically ok, (paper loaded correctly, loads of ink etc etc ) now, here is the issue.....
When I try to print a photo from either CS4 or Aperture the information seems to send to the printer, the printer icon jumps up and down and the text for the jobs queue says 'printing'....the printer 'shunts' as if engaging to print, doesn't do anything else and tells me a second later that the status is 'completed'.....but it hasn't printed anything!!! aaaaargh
I have been to the epson website and downloaded the latest drivers....same outcome.
I have even been on the live assistance thing on the epson website, no help at all, assistant didn't seem all that competent.
Anyone have/had a similar problem.
Words of one syllable if there is a fix, I am savvy but not expert.
Cheers
Rob

Hi nenavella,
One more thing you could try, the problem re occurred for me on a different printer and I found the reason for the fault by accident, a longish story but stick with it:
I had set up an unusual custom paper size so that I could print off passport photos for a client....for reasons I don't quite understand (probably my own stupidity!) that paper size became the default size for that printer...very rarely used...so any time I tried to print anything on that printer that wasn't passport photo size...it behaved exactly like my previous issue, made all the right noises etc etc but didn't print.
To cut a long story short: On that particular printer, every time I print anything I have to go to 'Page Setup' and change it to an appropriate size (A4, 6x4, A5 etc etc...anything but UK passport size of 35mm x 45mm) before I hit the print button.
It may be worth checking that your printer hasn't somehow 'obtained' an odd page set up parameter somewhere/somehow.
If it isn't this I hope you find the problem soon, I know how infuriating it can be.
Cheers
Robin

Wireless printing problems with 10.5.4 and Epson printers

Anyone else know about problems with Epson printers such as this no longer functioning wirelessly with bonjour once upgrade to 10.5.4? It appears they are not supporting this with a new driver yet?
At this time, Epson says they have no drivers for 10.5 and this specific printer but wondered if there are more general problems with 10.5.4 and bonjour with Epson or others?
Thanks
Paul
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.5.4) Using Epson CX11-NF printer

I have 5 computers-G4 PowerPC, two G4 12" laptops, G5 Mac Pro dual, Macbook Pro--with the older computers all running 10.4.11, the new ones 10.5.4. Until Friday, I was able to print with all of them to an Epson Stylus Photo R200 via Airport Extreme. After installing software for my new G3 iPhone on the G5 Mac Pro the printer connections on all the computers stopped working. I have so far been able to get the G4 Power PC to print, but none of the others. I have tried Bonjour, Gimp-print v.5.0.0-beta 2, cleared all the print drivers and restarted, and everything else I have been able to find on both Epson and Apple sites. The Printer Set Utility described by Epson does not exist in Leopard machines, and doesn't work for the older laptops. As soon as I select one of the printers in the "selected printer in print dialogue box" it grays out. I have set up sharing on the G4Power PC that does print, but it is not accessible--it shows up but is grayed out. There is a diamond next to the printers in the Print dialogue box in applications' menus, but it still doesn't work. It either cannot make the connection, cannot find the printer, or keeps spinning with the message that it is finishing printing (but it hasn't even started.) Again, everything worked fine until the new iPhone was added to the mix. My old iPhone didn't cause any problems. This is really a problem. Any suggestions welcome.

Just updated software and now epson printer no longer works

I'm frustrated. I updated software ( as recommended by apple) and now my epson printer no longer is working. I've read through some threads about throwing the extension /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleUSBEthernetHost away... and that is not working for me. I cannot print. I have also followed the info on the apple site about deleting the printer and then readding it, all to no avail. please help. thankyou.

Without knowing anything about the printer, version of OS X installed, or how the printer is connected it is difficult to help you out. When posting please post specifics.

Can't Print to Epson Printers from Photoshop

Hey everyone - for some reason I am unable to print from Photoshop CS6 to two different Epson printers - an Epson 9800 and an Epson 7880. I have tried to print from three different computers (OS 10.6 and OS 10.8) and have also tried three different USB cables. Each time I get the same results - the computer acts like it sends the data to the printer, but the printer never prints anything. I am not getting any error messages. I am attepting to print a 3960x2160, 720 DPI RGB TIF image. I tried printing from Preview as a test but that didn't work either.
This is a new problem as I have been printing to these printers for years with no issues.
I have tried reinstalling drivers, turning the computer and printers on and off, cleared my caches and repaired permissions, but so far no luck.
However there is ONE situation in which I am able to print - if I save the image as PDF and print it from from Acrobat, specifically with "Acrobat Color Management" selected, it WILL print. If I try to print from Acrobat with "Printer Manages Colors" selected, it will not print.
This is really driving me mad and I would love to find a solution. Major thanks to anyone who can help!

Success! I have no idea what the issue here is but I tried printing a completely different file as a test, and lo, that file prints fine. The other file does not. Since the file I'm trying to print is a rasterized Illustrator file, I just rasterized it again so I'm working with a new file, and it prints! I am so pleased.

Epson printers keep giving "media not loaded correctly" error message

When sending print jobs that consist of multiple copies to Epson printers from my dual 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac with OS 10.5.8, the printer will frequently (more than half the time) grab a sheet of paper and spit it out with nothing on it, and then return the error message "Media out or not loaded correctly". I've had the exact same issue with their 1280, 2400 and 2880 printers. I've been struggling with and troubleshooting this issue for a couple of months now, and I believe I've narrowed it down to the operating system. It happens when printing from both Photoshop CS3 and CS4. It doesn't happen when I print from another computer running OS 10.4.11.

Interesting observation of the OSs. Have you tried Epson's suggestions for the 1280 printer and 2880 printer?
BTW: This was a constant issue with my Epson 3000. It happened mostly with paper larger than tabloid size, which is the reason for having a large format printer. There was no difference between versions of the OS. This was with the paper tray, so it may not be relevant to your printers. However, when I first got the printer it came with some "cleaning sheets" to run thru the printer when changing different types of paper to clean the rollers. It seemed to help... What worked best was to pre-load the first sheet of a multiple page document.
HTH

Has Apple done anything to address the issue of Mountain Lion's inability to support Epson printers? I have a Stylus Photo RX620 that now is useless. I am not a computer geek so would rather not try to do an uninstall of Mt. Lion and go back to S.Leopard

Have you tried to open System Preferences, then Print & Scan and then try to Add + a printer?
I have an Epson RX580 and am using OS X 10.8.2 and it is working as a (Bonjour) printer. My Epson RX580 is plugged into my AirPort Extreme and I can print over my wireless network to the RX580. However, I do not see any Scan options with this setup.
Anyone know anything about getting the scanning portion of the RX580 to work over the network like the printing function does with my Airport Extreme? Or can I not "share" a scanner over the USB port on the Airport Extreme? I know, kind on topic/off topic - but I think it fits under OS questions better.
Thanks for your advice!

Need wireless printing for Epson printers

I have 3 Epson printers.
An R380 direct printing via USB, an R380 wireless via an Airport Express and an Epson Artisan 810 wireless via my Airport Extreme. The 810 also has bluetooth capabilities.
_So I have three avenues to print wireless:_
Through the Airport Extreme
Through the Airport Express
Through the Bluetooth capable Epson 810
... BUT the iPad provides no way for printing.
When I purchased the device I assumed that printing was a given.
The newly announced beta IOS4.2 only allows printing on HP printers...WHY?
There are other printer manufactures out there.
I chose Epson because it allows for printing on DVD’s and CD’s

I think only certain HP printers will have a direct print ... but that any printer on the same network as your iPad will work. From the AirPrint press release:
"AirPrint automatically finds printers on local networks and can print text, photos and graphics to them wirelessly over Wi-Fi without the need to install drivers or download software. HP’s existing and upcoming ePrint enabled printers will be the first to support printing direct from iOS devices... iPad, iPhone and iPod touch users can simply tap to print their documents or photos wirelessly to an HP ePrint printer or to a printer shared on a Mac or PC.”
So if your Epson is on a network, you can print to it.

Printing with Photoshop CS4 with Older Epson Printers

I am looking at upgrading to Snow Leopard, but having had some trouble with Leopard and CS4 working well with my older Epson printers (Stylus Pro 4000 and Stylus 1280) I am somewhat hesitant. Has it been established that the older Epson printers are fully supported by Snow Leopard?

I am about to install CS4 with OS 10.5.8. Before I get in to a new set of issues, I thought I would post what currently is working for me with CS3. I have been using Gutenprint 5.2.4 to print to my ancient but beloved Epson Pro 9500. When I first tried Gutenprint 5.2.4 with the basic settings, the prints were washed out and pink.It took me two weeks of trial and error in terms of tweaking settings, but I am now able to get better prints than with the old Epson driver that only runs in OS 9, using PS7--but I still keep a G4 with true 0S 9 to print photos to maintain consistency with previous printed work that has been editioned and sold. What forced my move to OS X and Gutenprint was that new photos that I had worked on in PS CS3 and then opened in PS7 did not print--or rather, lost info and then printed as dark green, which others have mentioned elsewhere in discussions of OS and software compatibility issues. Photos that were originally worked on in PS CS2 or earlier are still printing just fine, so in my case at least it appears to be a compatibilty issue between different versions of the PS software that is producing the green. For good info on what all the Gutenprint settings do, see http://osdir.com/ml/linux.printing.gimp-print.devel/2006-01/msg00035.html
You have to let the printer control the process, not Photoshop.

Printing pdfs to Epson printers, images do not print properly

I have Adobe Acrobat Professional v8.2.5 and Windows 7 64k and since the recent upgrade of Acrobat when I print to either of my Epson printers (Epson Aculaser 2600 and Epson Stylus Office BX610FW) the text is fine but images are smeared or just print as a block of print with no detail. I don't seem to have this problem with HP printers and I don't recall making any changes to the printer settings. Up until about three weeks ago I did not have this problem.
If I save the pdf file as a tiff or jpg etc then everything prints fine.
Any ideas anyone?

Not sure how to back up you did, though Time Machine could be your friend.

Problem with OSX Update for Epson Printers

II installed an OSX update a couple of days ago - was for Epson printers. Ever since then my Epson won't print. I've tried everything. I keep getting a message that "Filter" failed. Any fixes coming up for this?

I just had to go into system preferences for the printer and click on the printer and then click on sharing preferences and type in my computer name. Then turn off the computer and turn it back on again and the printer now WORKS. Amazing.
That solved the same problem for me also. I had already gone into Time Machine and put back the old Epson files that were changed by the update, but that didn't fix the problem. Typing the computer name fixed it.

IBook, Gateway Laptop, 2 epson printers, existing wireless, need more?

I have an iBook G4 with an Airport Card, my wife has a Gateway Solo with a wireless card. We have an existing wireless internet connection. We have two Epson printers that we would like to be able to print to wirelessly.
I'm assuming that I need to connect both printers to a wireless router, and I assume it may be another router and not the one we're using for internet. What do I need to do to get both of us to be able to print wirelessly to either printer from our laptops?
Would appreciate some help. Thanks!

Done

My Macbook Pro running Lion 10.7 will no longer connect to either my HP or Epson printers. Both printers report that they are connected to the correct wireless network and until 2 weeks ago work perfectly.

My Macbook pro running Lion 10.7 will not connect via a wireless network to either of my printers, Epson and HP. Both printers report an excellent connection to the correct network. The Macbook reports "printer not found"
Until 2 weeks ago all worked well. Both printers makes me think some setting in the computer must have changed.
Any suggestions?

System Preferences>Fax & Scan. Delete the printers and re-add them back in.

Epson WP4530 No longer able to Scan....

Scanning function has been removed for my Epson WP-4530 Printer. Epson.com points scanner drivers back at Apple. Scan button in Printers & Scanners Pref Pane no longer there.... Have deleted and reinstalled to no avail. What worked 12 hrs ago no longer does till Apple sends out an update ?!?!
Any work arounds ??

Hey,
Install the HP Easy Scan app from the Mac App Store, then open it from the Applications folder:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hp-easy-scan/id967004861?mt=12
Once you are done scanning click the Save button, may you select JPG from the app?
