Epson R340 will not print higher quality photo - Jobs Stopped!

I have seen posts on this problem before but I've tried the recommendations and haven't had any luck. From IPhoto 5 (version 5.0.4) I can print regular resolution photos but if I switch to the higher resolution photos the printer stops printing. If I restart printing it says "Opening Printer Connection" and then again "Jobs stopped".
It is very frustrating since I have printed the higher resolution photos before with the same software, drivers, etc. but I cannot repeat it every time.
I have tried verifying and repairing disk permissions but it did not work. I have also tried all combinations of Advanced Options - Print Setting along with the Presets.
Help!

I reinstalled the drivers from the original set-up disk (didn't do anything)
I reread the Help topics and noticed that Epson had set the Presets to "Standard"
I noticed that in the ColorSync Utility the default preset was "Standard", so...
I set the "Format for:" to "Stylus Photo R340"
I then changed the "Paper Size" to "4x6 (sheet feeder - borderless)"
- I used to have it as a custom 4x6 size - this may have been the problem
Then I went into the Print menu from iPhoto and checked to see that the
Preset was "Standard"
From there I went into "Advanced Options" -> "Print Settings" and changed the Mode from "Automatic" -> "Speed" to "Quality"
I hit print and out came the higher resolution, higher quality photos.
Thanks for helping - I think you put me on the right path.

  • Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) from the App store. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Printing via Airport.

    Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) suggested by the App store in effort to get printer working after OS update. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Attempting to print via Airport from a MacBook Pro. Also from a Mac Pro via ethernet. Both worked before updating to Yosemite. Canon Pro 9000 Mk 2 works via USB. Tried installing driver 10.84 from OS 10.9 as suggested by PAHU; no luck.

    The "stopped at server - no pages found" message would suggest an image with the print file that is created by the printer driver on the MacBook Pro. But if the Mac Pro is getting the same message then that is unusual.
    To rule out a couple of causes I would try connecting the MacBook Pro directly to the MX850 by USB cable. This action should result in a new printer for the USB connection being created automatically. If not then you may need to manually create it as you won't be able to use the existing printer that exists for the network connection. With the new printer created see if this will let you print without error.
    If this USB connected printer also fails with the same message then try a reset of the printing system. Note that this action will also remove the Pro 9000 from Printers & Scanners so you will have to add it and the MX850 again.

  • Epson R2880 - Will not print - paper sizes

    I am having major problems with trying to print to a R2880. I have recently purchased it and have had problems with printing to it from the beginning. Sometimes it works but mostly it doesn't.
    The Epson driver is 6.2 which is the latest. I am running Leopard. Do not want to upgrade to SL cause what I read shows FCS2 does not run on it.
    Keeps on telling me that the "Paper source selected in the printer doesn't macy the paper loaded in the printer" which is of course bollocks.
    I have tried the solution offered by a previous post which was to got to the print preview and then Cmd - P and then choose the right paper. Worked fine on an A4 but when I did the same for a 10 x 15 cm no go.
    It suddenly started working the other day but when I chose a selection of 10 x 15's (varied portrait / landscape aspects) to print it did not orientate them correctly. The paper was installed in a portrait arrangement yet not one of the photos printed on the page correctly.
    What a waste of time this printer and Aperture are.
    Can anyone help on this most frustrating problem. I have had this printer for a few months and have only managed to print a handful of photos !
    Regards

    Hi Colin,
    The R2880 is a little finicky when it comes to paper source. A couple of questions:
    • What paper are you using? What size? Are you using the back tray or the main tray? I had a ton of problems with the back tray and that very error. I now always use the main tray, but it depends on the paper you use since certain types can only be loaded in the back.
    • Are you making sure the preset you choose is for +sheet feeder+ and not +roll paper+?
    The Preview solution you read about is probably mine and was brought on by SL. Fortunately 10.6.2 fixed that problem but I've still had the paper source error come up a couple of times - I need to open the print settings for the preset I want to use and save it again (it's as though it needs to be reminded that it should use the sheet feeder, even though that setting is saved right there in the preset).
    My first thought was that your problem might have to do with the non-conventional paper size, but I also make custom 16x12 prints on 13x19 paper and don't have problems at all.
    I'm guessing it's probably a combination of settings and paper type...

  • Officejet pro 8000 wireless will not print from windows photo viewer. all other diagnostics ok.

    OS is Windows 7 Home Premium x 64. All functions and printing are ok with this unit, excepting for printing through Windows Photo Viewer. Have latest software, drivers, etc., and all HP software and hardware diagnostic tools check out ok.
    Checked Windows event log, and get Event 350, PrintService - Document  failed to print and was deleted because of corruption in the spooled file. The associated driver is: . Try printing the document again.
    There is no additional info on this event listed in the Microsoft TechNet Events and Errors Message Reporting Center
    When this happens, all of the lights on the printer flash very rapidly.
    To correct, I clear the queue through Explorer, Troubleshoot, and unplug printer to reset.
    Any suggestions appreciated.
    Thanks

    FYI, I got this to work by treating my printer as a wired printer, even though it allegedly has wireless functionality. Luckily, my ohter devices can print to it wirelessly. At least I don't need to replace my printer just yet...

  • Epson RX595 will not print since Snow Leopard install

    I cannot get my trusty Epson to print since installing Snow Leopard and latest printer drivers.
    I can scan. Just cannot print.
    I have looked at some troubleshooting support articles. Does anyone have a good link, tip?
    Thanks in advance for any help with this!

    Try deleting the printer, the <hard drive>/Library/Printers/EPSON folder and the /Library/Caches/Epson folder, and then reinstalling the drivers using Software Update. Then add the printer, making sure that you are using the Epson driver, not the Gutenprint driver.

  • Epson R1900 will not print or update

    Can’t get my R1900 to print. Utility see the printer and will tell me my ink level. But can’t get it to print anything.
    Apples Epson update did nothing.
    Epson driver installers crash/quit after verifying password. Did the Rosetta thing, tried under safeboot and even tried to install drivers on my MacBook Pro. They still quit. Epson is at a loose and says to ask Apple...
    Any ideas people?

    The latest R1900 drivers are available via Apple's Software Update. However before trying to download them from there, you should remove all drivers from your system. Here's how to reset your printing system:
    1. Control-click or right-click a print queue in the ""Printers"" pane.
    2. Choose ""Reset printing system..."" from the contextual menu.
    3. Click ""OK"" in the ""Are you sure..."" confirmation sheet.
    You can follow the troubleshooting steps in the Apple articles:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669?viewlocale=en_US
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3771
    If all of this doesn't work you can see if the issue is with the user account or system wide by creating a new OSX user account and see if that user has the same issue.
    Let me know if any of these steps worked for you.

  • Following Driver Update Epson CX6000 will not print

    I 'just' posted this on an answered post and now notice a difference, so I'll repost the corrected info here.
    I have a CX6000, Snow Leopard, and following the Apple update - no printing.
    I think I've tried most of the suggestions above with no luck. THE ERROR MESSAGE IS "rastertoescpll failed".
    But, I have a question - do I have to uninstall the old driver prior to installing the new? (Or, does it take the place of the old one?)
    So, would I:
    1. Delete the old driver
    2. Install the new Epson Driver
    3. Apply the updater
    4. Repair permissions (again) somewhere along the way?
    I have a laptop which (again Snow Leopard) which was not upgraded and it prints fine.
    Thank you

    I'm having the same problem as you but I'm having trouble understanding exactly what you did. I've deleted the old driver and re-installed the latest driver I found from the epson website, but this doesn't seem to work. Can you offer any help?

  • Epson RX620 will not print with my MacBook Pro. Error:/ System/Library/ Pri

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    What's the rest of that error message? Posting what you did is similar to posting as an error message the text "I'm having trouble with ..." with nothing following.
    I'd try several things until things work:
    1) Open the Print & Fax panel of System Preferences. Right-click on a printer entry and choose "Reset printing system".
    2) Delete the entry for your printer, then add it back.
    3) Check the Epson Web site for a recent driver for your printer. Download it, then first run it in "uninstall" move, then in "install" mode.
    I'll be personally interested in what you learn. I have a relative who has an RX620 and 10.6.4, but I'm not sure he's tried to print anything yet.
