Epson stylus c88+ will not print from photoshop elements 13

I am using Photoshop Elements 13 to edit some images. I am trying to print on the Epson Stylus c88+ inkjet printer but i am getting an error that the saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements. What do I need to do? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer but it still does not work.

You should find that your HP printers print much faster now since Usbtb is faster than Apple's built-in USB drivers that they ship with Leopard by default.

Epson Stylus C88+ won't print from iPhoto 6

Recently bought an Epson Stylus C88+ printer to replace the Stylus C86 that is not printing well anymore. Discovered that the C88+ does not print from iPhoto 6.0.5! The printer does print from Photoshop Elements 2 and does print documents fine. When we choose "Apple P" it starts the printing process, makes the starting noise, but then stops and the red exclamation point appears next to the printer icon on the dock. The original driver came from the printer's install CD that came with printer. I had seen some instructions from Epson about removing and reinstalling the printer driver, so I have done the following: 1) removed the 2 printers above from the Printer Setup Utility, 2) reset the printing system in Printer Setup Utility, 3) removed the Epson folder from the Library folder in Mac HD, 4) deleted the Epson printer receipts from the Library folder in Mac HD, and 5) reinstalled the C88+ driver from the Epson website. It still does the same as before. Any othe ideas?

I'm not sure what I should be looking for in Page setup settings and iPhoto print window. How do I check the driver in Printer Setup Utility? I already added the printer after reinstalling the driver from the Epson website; Printer setup utility seemed to find the driver when I did that because the printer is listed and printer is otherwise working.
I also looked at Colosync utility as you suggested and found my computer under devices and verified the Profiles in Profile First Aid. Nothing was found wrong for any Epson device, only some Lexmark profiles were incorrect (they must be ones installed with Tiger that I don't use), so didn't do the repair.
Here is what it says in System Profiler for the printer (doesn't actually say Epson USB and I wonder what the question mark means):
Stylus C88:
Status: Idle
Print Server: Local
Driver Version: 2.72
Default: Yes
URI: usb://EPSON/Stylus C88?serial=FGS020609051637250
PPD: EPSON C88 Series (1)
PPD File Version: 1.0
PostScript Version: (3011.104) 0
I'm not sure where they get that serial number from. The one on the back of the printer is totally different. I was a little suspicious that nowhere in the Printer setup utility or system profiler does it actually say I have a C88+; it just says C88 series, etc. It says on the C88+ download page says I would get driver v2.7aA. I guess this is the same as what I have. I was warned by Epson that the C88 and C88+ are 2 totally different printers, but when I checked the C88 download page it says I would get v2.5bA, so I don't think I downloaded the wrong driver.
For anyone else who has the same problem, I have discovered that as a workaround I can open photos in Photoshop Elements from iPhoto and can print them using Elements, so I'm ok unless I want to try printing an iPhoto greeting card, etc.
Thanks for any additional thoughts.

Epson Stylus C88 won't print

I haven't printed to this printer in a while, so who knows what happened, but today, I try to print, and the print queue for my Epson Stylus C88 will show every job with a Status of "Error".
The queue says "Printer Ready"
The Epson Printer Utility can communicate with the printer
The driver is 9.00. Software Update does not say that any new driver is available.
I'm on Mac OS X 10.7.5
Any ideas?

Unfortunately, deleteting the print jobs from the queue usually fixes this issue.
Then restart your Mac and try printing.
If that doesn't help, might be corrupted printing preferences.
Open a Finder window. From the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type of copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs.plist file to the Trash.
Restart both the Mac and the printer.

How to install Epson Stylus C88 printer on 10.9.3?

How do I install Epson Stylus C88+ printer? Is it supported by 10.9.3?

Hi Janet ...
There is a driver available for v10.9 Mavericks to download here > http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=58602&BV_UseBVCooki e=yes&infoType=Downloads&platform=OSF_M_X9
After you download the driver, open System Preferences > Printes & Scanners then select the Print tab.
Then click ➕ to install the printer.

I updated the epson printer drivers like it asked, only to find out that my epson 1400 is not compatible on 10.8, the original driver worked fine, but now it prints terrible, how do I re-install back to original?

Do you have a TM backup or a clone? If so, erase the drive and restore with TM or clone back.
If not you'll have to reformat and re-install the OS that shipped with your Mac. If it shipped with Lion or ML you can do the restore from your Recovery Volume
EDIT: I assume you are saying that you just installed 10.8?

Epson Stylus SX205 not recognized as printer, only as scanner

I try to get my Epson Stylus SX205 printer/scanner to work on my ArchLinux, but can't. The scanner part works fine, but the printer part doesn't. I have tried all the tricks in the wiki article on Cups, including adding udev rules as suggested in the section on "Device node permissions", but to no avail.
I don't know what information to post yet, other than this:
Kernel: 3.6.5-1-ARCH
Cups:1.6.1-6
Printer driver: epson-inkjet-printer-escpr-1.2.2-1
Not (yet) using systemD
Any help/pointer will be much appreciated.
/Bent
Edit: I forgot to mention that I get this message in the system: "udev-configure-printer: no corresponding CUPS device found"

Step 1
Open the Sharing pane in System Preferences. If the Computer Name is not set, enter a name. You may first have to click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings.

Step 2
If there's no improvement after Step 1, restore the following folder from the last backup you made before the EPSON update:
/Library/Printers/EPSON
You may have to reset the printing system for the change to become effective.

Epson Stylus C48 printer - Compatible with the G4?

Hello
Please can somebody tell me if the Epson Stylus C48 printer is compatible with the G4 using OSX10.4.1?
Many thanks!

A Google search reveals "Microsoft Windows 98SE/2000/ME/XP" only.
 Cheers, Tom

I have just discovered that my Epson printer is not compatible with my new iPad 2. Does anyone know of a way around this as I don't want to have to purchase a new printer just for my iPad? Is Apple working on a solution for this? Am very disappointed

My Epson Artisan 610 printer will not work with my new iPad 2. Not AirPrint compatible. Only certain HP printers work. Are there any solutions to this other than buying an HP printer?

Epson iPrint doesn't allow printing directly from something like Photos, you have to call up iPrint and THEN select Photos, but it does work and very well. For my Epson Artisan 725, I had it print a photo, best quality, on 4x6 Premium Photo Paper, and it DID automatically select the right "tray" with my photo paper.
Thanks for posting this suggestion.
This was SUPPOSE to be replying to the following:
app store epson iprint version 2.0 lets you print websites, photos, and more.

Epson Stylus R220 not recognized by AEBS. Was by AX

I originally posted in the Airport & Printing section but I see this problem is specific to the Dual Band Airport Extreme.
THe subject USB printer is recognized by my AX when connected to the AX via USB but not when connected to a brand new AEBS Dual Band via USB. I've tried bot WAN and LAN configurations but no success. The 5.5 version of AIrport Admin always shows nothing on the Printers pane. Base station is running 7.5 firmware. I've done the power on/off tricks. My drivers are the latest from Epson but I don't think that's at play here. The AEBS is not recognizing the USB printer.
Aside, there are numerous Apple articles on troubleshooting that say "Not all OS X compatible printers can be base station printers". However, I cannot find any base station compatibility list. Also, the printer worked fine on the AX.

Nevermind. The Epson R220 works fine on the AEBS. Wrong USB cable was plugged into the AEBS.

Epson 3490 scanner-not compatible

After returning the HP 4850 scanner and getting my money back, I bought an Epson 3490 because it looked like at least a few people were getting the Epson scanners to work. I didn't. After uninstalling, reinstalling on my own, I called Epson and did the same things under their instruction. This scanner still doesn't work with the 10.4.2 operating system and my eMac. Epson says it's the operating system, possibly files that are being duplicated instead of written over during the installation process. I have searched high and low for leftover HP files and can't find any. Apple wants to charge me significant money to talk to their technicians and I can't afford to pay them to work on their own software. As of now, I'm going to return the Epson and make do with my digital camera. I also was not able to install the 10.4.3 upgrade! This is turning into one sour apple for me.

William Fritz1,
Did you check for an uninstall option on the HP software? You may have to reinstall it to fully delete it. Uninstallers aren't common on Macs, where users are used to just dragging unwanted programs to the Trash, but HP (along with Adobe and Symantec) are known to spew files all over the place, including places where they're not really supposed to be putting files. Did the HP software installer ask you to enter an admin password when you installed it? That's a tell-tale clue that the installer is messing with the System directories.
Also: after installing software that requires an admin password, HP, Adobe, or Quark programs in particular, you really must run Disk Utility/ Repair Permissions afterwards. Some installers don't just put their files all over the place but change the permissions of system level directories and files, which can cause any amount of grief until the permissions are repaired.
Given the problems you're having, after running Repair Permissions I'd also boot from the OS X Install disc and open Disk Utility from the Installer menu to run Repair Disk as well (see Using Disk Utility and fsck).
That permissions issue may be why you couldn't install the 10.4.3 update or the Epson scanner software. What erros did you get trying to install the 10.4.3 update? Did you try the 10.4.3 update via the incremental or Delta updater via Software Update, or by downloading and running the full 10.4.3 Combo Update from the Downloads link at the top of the Discussions pages? The full Combo update is more robust and reliable.

Epson stylus r300 not printing

After installing a recent Epson printer update through the app store, my printer causes an error log to be sent to Apple each and every time I attempt to print. This adds to my woes in that my Epson perfection 1250 scanner also refuses to work after a recent update. I've tried to update through the app store update facility, but no updates are available. This is getting me down a little as I really like my new 27" imac, but without a printer it's almost useless. What's going on with these updates? Can I restore to earlier drivers? Epson web site suggests no - rather that any update must be installed through the app store. I've also tried repairing permissions which appeared to fix some printer issues according to the log, but didn't solve my problem.
Thanks

Epson Stylus Photo PX710W is not compatible with Mavericks

I still cannot scan with my Epson Stylus Photo PX710W. My scan driver (scan.app version 3.7.1) is not compatible with Mavericks. Who can help me?
Epson does not react to my question when the correct driver will be available.
Epson indicate to their FAQ’s, but this is will not help since the ICA scan only works when my printer/scanner is connected to my Mac via USB. I bought this EPSON printer/scanner because it was wireless. Now after just 3 years I miss this important option.
I see a lot of discussion about Epson scan drivers but little help from Epson
Who can lead me to an appropriate scan driver for my Epson device?

I disagree a bit because my Epson printer/scanner worked very well for over 3 years. It worked under Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion. But since I installed Mavericks my scanner doesn't work anymore. It's just a case that Epson is very slow in upgrading the drivers within an appropriate time on the one hand and not giving any foresight how long it takes to repair drivers on the other hand. Their website is inadequate and gives me absolute no information at all. I can understand their vision when it comes to printer/scanners which are very old i.e 10 years and mor. But not for relatively new printer/scanners.
So, if anybody can help i'll be very greatefull.

HT4356 My printer, Epson Stylus Office TX600FW, is not listed on the AirPrint. How to add it? Would Apple expand the list?

My printer, Epson Stylus Office TX600FW, is not listed on the AirPrint. I can't find it on my iPad or iPhone. How to add it? Would Apple expand the list?

Only the printer manufacturer can make it compatible with AirPrint, it's not up to Apple. You could try Epson's iPrint app, that claims to support that model :

I recently upgraded to Mac OS 10.8.1. I had an Epson Inkjet printer (Stylus C88 ) that had seen its better days. I purchased a refurbished model (C88+ ) to replace the old one, simple enough. Since I've done this before, I didn't think I had to install the CD. I have since discovered the CD isn't recognized on my computer and/or by this Mountain Lion system and that I had to go to Apple to upgrade the new driver for this product, and which I did, but I can't find the epson folder other than the attached. I just want to place an alias printer logo on my desktop but I can't find it anywhere. What to do???

Hi, one question & one suggestion...
What possible things are connected at home but not at the store, inlude every cable, etc.
One way to test is to 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, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
