Epson R2880 printer does not work under 10.6 - how to install 10.5?

Similar to the many problems reported here, my brand new still in production mid-to-high-end printer from Epson does not work. I set aside my Epson 1270 when I realized that they would never support anything that old, but to not support a current expensive model!?!? I would never have bought it except that their web site claims 10.6 compatible drivers. Not true. I can use it as a text printer, but have none of the photo print options that I paid for.
Running on an iMac which I bought just before 10.5 came out. I never loaded 10.5. I paid the big bucks for a full upgrade from 10.4 to 10.6. I have found a 10.5 retail package. Once it arrives, what do I need to do to write 10.5 over the newer 10.6? Do I need to backup and erase everything, reinstall 10.4 and then 10.5? Or is there a reasonably reliable way to just load 10.5?

The easiest fix to this issue that I've found is to just use Sierra's software.
It means you don't get the nice built-in WWAN integration of 10.6, but whatever--it works!

  • Networked printer does not work under bonjour

    I run a 50-computer network with 10 printers, all running bonjour. Servers and clients all 10.3 and 10.4. I just installed 10.5 on my computer to test. It appears that none of the network printers (mostly Lexmarks) no longer work with bonjour, only direct IP printing.
    Does anyone have solution for this?
    Since when is Apple trying to become Micro$soft?

    10.2 - 10.4 did not use Bonjour for Mac to Mac printer sharing though 10.5 does. This article describes the issue:

  • Flash player does not work under one user account.

    Flash player does not work under one of my user accounts.
    My system: I work with a mac mini with Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    What I have done:
    I installed the flash player maybe one year ago under my "first" user account. At that time this user account had had administrator authorization. In the meantime I had to change this "first" user account in an account without administrator authorization and created an administrator user with which I installed different programms. Lately, the message came up that it would be necessary to update the flash player. I did it; under the "first" user account, but of course with the administrator's password for installing. The installation had been "successful" - so I was told. But it did not run. I tried it again and again. Each time with "deinstallation" first. No way; it did not work.
    After asking Adobe for the reason of the problem, they suggested to install the programm directly under the administrator user. I did that (of course after deinstalling under the "first" user account) with the result, that flash player runs under my administrator and my "second" user account, but not under the first user account. There I am always told to update my flash player.
    With this result, I talked to Adobe. So they told me to contact the producer of the operating software, since this would be a mistake of the operating software.
    And here I am - full of hope to get help from you.
    Thanks for reading. And thanks in advance for helping me.

    Any update to provide at all here guys?  Again, in my situation, it's very much rights-related as a standard user doesn't even report that the flash player exists when testing it on the Adobe Flash Version Detection website (despite it showing up in Control Panel and under Add/Remove Programs).  I've already tried giving the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed and files/subfolders appropriate permissions for the standard user and still nothing.  If I either give the user in question full local admin rights or logon as the domain admin, then the Adobe Flash Version Detection website says Flash is installed and Flash works fine.
    Thoughts???

    Go to the website of the manufacturer of your printer and check to see if they have released an updated driver for your particular model.

  • My printer does not work with mountain lion

    I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and now my HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer does not work.  I downloaded the required driver from the App Store but am still not able to connect.  Is there actually a solution for this or do I need to find a way to downgrade my OS to one that is compatible with my printer?

    From the HP site:
    Compatible operating systems
    Microsoft® Windows® 7, Windows Vista®, Windows® XP (SP3)* or higher (32-bit only): *Supports 32-bit only; Mac OS X v 10.5, v 10.6 or v 10.7; Linux (For more information, see http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html)
    But then also on the HP site they have drivers for the printer for 10.8. See here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4142&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&s w_lang=&product=4323659#N194
    I would try the driver from HP.

  • JCombox does not work under linux (fedora) could you help me???

    Hi All,
    I am implementing a GUI for a linux application. This GUI works fine under windows system. But the JCombobox does not work under Linux system. Would you help me to solve it? Thank you very much!..
    The problem is that I cannot select any other item except the first item in the dropdown box of JCombobox. There is no event generated when I click the combobox, while events are generated for other Buttons.
    This problem exists for the following code when I maximize the window. When the window is minimize to some extend in my problem, it is OK.

    } Try this - you use too many unnecessary JPanels.
    Which way you prefer with actionPerformed should work either way.
    I think your problem was too many unnecessary Panels and set all attributes before it is added, perhaps,
    not add the panel first and then try to set attributes like layout, color, etc...

    Hi John,
    1) I like that the new model adds parameterization. It's cleaner than pulling in parameters from pre-set variables. However, the given example didn't actually make much use of it. The only non-constant parameter multiply-used in the example is the "table" variable. Seems like a lot of work for not a lot of gain, at least in this case?
    2) I am cautious that this new template/model condenses the paradigm sooo much, that it is no longer clear where XPath is involved vs straight constant tag names. Yes, Adobe's example is overly-expanded but that's common in code meant to be a demonstration.
    3) I also am cautious that the example intermingles direct node creation into the XPath search/processing chain. I've learned to be VERY careful with this. It only can work when the changes made do not interfere with the rule processing. In my model, I simply avoid it completely (by not making node-position or node-add/remove/move changes until after tree parsing is complete.) This will always be a safe model.
    Bottom line: while I very much appreciate the parameterization and lintability (is that a word? Sure makes sense to me )... I think I would still define each rule separately rather than bring them all together as an inline array in the rule processing call. To me it seems sooo condensed that the XPath meaning can become lost. (Would someone recognize that //para/section-head is actually an XPath statement that could (in another situation) be //para/* or //para/following-siblings::* ... while some of the other strings are exact-match tag names?)
    I realize this is all a matter of style... my preference: clarity for the future reader, particularly when the future reader is me a year later who forgot what all those parameters and embedded methods were all about ...
    Blessings,
    Pete

    You need to reinstall the printer driver, and set up the printer on the new hard drive.
    The Canon site should have the driver. Download it and install.
    Then go to Apple menu / System Preferences / Print & Fax and click the + (plus sign) and follow the directions.

    I have seen the Apple webpage suggesting the "five R's" (including restore).  Before doing anything, I want to be sure that restoring or any other action is not going to delete or risk my data. 
    I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest a fix for this problem, in a way that will not risk my data. 
    Thanks in advance!

    Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC?  Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
    To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?
