Did you recently change the driver you are using? I don't see how a driver for the Apollo P-2100 will work with an Epson printer. I would suggest that you delete your printer and re-add it using the correct driver.
You could also use the Epson supplied drivers available at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398

Epson Stylus Photo 1280 not working with OS X 10.4.3

I recently updated to Tiger OS 10.4.3 and my Epson Stylus Photo 1280 no longer prints. I've attempted to delete and add it to the Printer List, but get the following error - "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer." Along with that it reads "successful-ok-too-many-events."
As well as this, (sorry, possibly off topic) I can no longer download files via Safari, consistantly getting the error "mounting failed." This also occurs when I try to use Software Update as well. I get the message, "Unexpected error occured."
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
667 MHz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

The last Gutenprint release was in July 2012 as version 5.2.9. Therefore, it has not been compiled or tested especially for Mavericks.
Suggest you reset/remove the Epson printer entry in System Preferences > Printers & Scanners. Then re-add it. Leave your printer power on and connected to the Mac. Perform a software update, this may also offer the Epson Printer Drivers v2.15.1 for OS X (released Sept 11, 2013). This download supports your printer model.
Read this brief Apple article.

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.

My epson stylist 3880 will not print with Photoshop CC on Mac OS 10.9.3. I've already talked to epson, the printer works with Preview.

There is nothing wrong with the printer or drivers. Something is wrong with Photoshop CC. The error box says:
"There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."
Any suggestions?

Hello charlottedk, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are having cartridge and printhead problems. I would like to try and assist.
I would suggest performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend following the steps in this document on an 'Incompatible Print Cartridge' or 'Print Cartridge Problem' Message Displays on the Computer or P...
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

New Epson WF 7620 will not print with Macbook Air, receive "Print File Was Not Accepted" message.

Hello! To anyone who tries to help me, thank you in advance!
I brought home a new Epson WF 7620 yesterday and did all the necessary stuff, installing it with my Macbook Air (Mac OS X ; 10.7.4.). I installed the software from the site, added the printer to my printer list, enabled "print sharing" and connected it to my wifi network. I am trying to use it wirelessly.
I tried to print a test page of a regular PNG image, but I am receiving the "Print File Was Not Accepted" message in my printer queue. I have changed the file type a couple times to JPG and PDF but more of the same. I have also reset the printer, and have repaired the disk permissions in the Disk Utility to try and get it to work.
None of this seems to be working, suggestions very appreciated!
Thanks

Try Linc's suggestion first. That should cure your issue. If not, here's something else to consider:

Apple keeps a set of current software for Epson printers. You should start by going to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners and delete the printer from the list (using the "-" key). Then download Apple's software version from here:

Finally, set up the printer as shown here:

EPSON Stylus CX9400Fax - Will not print from my computer - MacPro 10.5.1

When I attempt to print from Photoshop CS3 or Microsoft Word, in the printer queue I read, Status Stopped. I click on the name and window pops up saying, Operation could not be completed - next line, client-error-not-possible... What the heck?! I installed the drivers off the CD that came with the printer and upgraded the driver on the net B4 plugging in the Printer during installation – SO it should work, right?
What am I doing wrong? And please don't say, You bought an EPSON... How do I make it work? And please don't say, Buy another printer other than an EPSON. And last, How do I prevent this error message occurring in the future? Please don't say, Don't by another EPSON... Thanking you in advanced,

PS: Now, if I might digress, Mac Lovers, now, I used Mac’s when I was in college and moved to PCs in my job and am now back to Mac's, purchased a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro a couple months ago and have had nothing but probs with them. Some aliens, captured from Area 51 held against their will in the bowels of APPLE, keep moving the versions of the operating system up so fast I think some of my software is having a difficult time keeping up and is ACTUALLY crashing the system. Oh, then the nice little report can be sent to apple’s aliens and they thank you... Whatever… This is precisely why I moved away from PS's! Get you shnizzel in a row Mr. Jobs! Thank you… 3…2…1… I am much better now… How about some tea?

HP F4480 not printing with Mac (OS 10.9 / Mavericks)

I've followd the instructions for setting up the driver on my Mac and it shows up when I try to print something but nothing prints when I click print and nothing is showing up in the queue.
Has anyone else had this issue / know how to fix it?
Thank you

Hi melaniehuynh,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see you tried adding your HP Deskjet F4480 to your Mac running the Mavericks 10.9.4 Operating system, when you try to print nothing happens it does not go into the print queue.
Because you are using the Mavericks OS X you must install the printer using the Apple Updates. Please click on the link below, this document explains how to install the print driver on a Mac for a USB or a network connection. The OS X v10.9 Mavericks driver for your printer is available through Apple Software Update (ASU). Additionally, you can perform basic print jobs using AirPrint without installing a driver.
OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac
I want you to check out the FAQs at the bottom of the above document, make sure you installed correctly.
Once you have installed the DJ F4480, you may notice the features you once had are limited or there are workarounds, for scanning with or without HP Software see below:
How to Scan: OS X v10.9
I hope this helps!

Epson xp 202 will not print with wifi

using os 10.7.3. Can ping printer ok but print box indicates printer off line. Prints ok with usb cable but not with wifi
cheers

Fixed.
Thank you Misery. As I am juust starting out with Arch I was unaware of PKGBUILD/makepkg system. You have *greatly* enhanced my Arch experience.
I am, however, still puzzled as to why I got the 'file not found' message from ldd. I checked dependencies with objdump and installed the one (old)libjpeg it wanted, but ldd still refused to run giving me 'file not found'!

EPSON Stylus Color 1160 - Gimp-Print v5.0.0-beta2 setting preferences

Greetings.
I have the above printer and since Epson no longer produces a driver that will function under 10.4 I am using the Gimp driver. Which works fine.
The printer is connected to our server and so functions as a ‘shared printer’ in the network. The server runs 10.4.8.
However I would like to tweak the default settings for all users.
One of the things we use this printer for is to make drafts for checking text or layouts. The default setting is for an excellent print quality. I would like to change this to a lower resolution (saves ink > saves money > saves planet > reduces carbon footprint, ;-)))
Anybody know how to do this?
Does it need to be done on every individual machine? Or in the settings of the printer? And how to do it?
I can see it over
http://127.0.0.1:631/printers
If I click on any of the buttons like ‘modify the printer’ it says
Forbidden You don't have permission to access the resource on this server. <</div>
Any suggestions as to how to solve this?
Thanks

I can't get good prints from my Epson Stylus Color 1160 now I have OS10.4.4

My previous Mac was a PowerMac 8600/250 with OS9.1. Since I have had the new iMac G5 the prints I get from my Epson Stylus Color 1160 (which was working OK with OS9.1) have a poor colour match with the on-screen image and are too dark. The printer interface offers far less options than were available with OS9.1. I have downloaded the latest driver from Epson. I even found an alternative driver on the internet called GutenPrint 5.0.0bz2. When I tried to install that I was told that a newer version was already installed. I have tried all variations on the driver settings but none of the results are anywhere approaching satisfactory. I have spoken to Epson but they were not able to solve the problem. I mainly work in Photoshop CS2 so I spoke to Adobe about the problem but it still wasn't resolved. Does anyone have any suggestions of what else I can try?

When you were printing in OS 9, did you print in CMYK or RGB profiles?
If your printing directly in Photoshop, try, I think its "RGB 1956" profile. Good luck and let me know if this helps.

Trying to print via wifi to epson stylus color 740 but can't

Hi all,
I am trying to set up my just purchased PowerBook g4 to print via airport wifi to an epson stylus color 740. I have been printing to this printer from my old laptop without any problems but I forgot how I set it up. It had something to do with lpt1 protocols. Is that IP address setup? I am now trying to set it up through OS X 10.5.4 and the other laptop has OS X 10.3.9. The dialog box is a little different and gives me many options for connecting. Which one do I use? The printer is hard wired to my SMC router which is connected to my g4 tower.
I got as far as trying to print to the printer but it would say it was sending then says the printer is paused when it isn't.
On my Titanium g4 the settings are:
printer name: lpt1on192.168.2.1 on 192.168.2.1
location: unknown
queue name: lpt1on_192.168.2.1_on192.168.2.1-1@g4tower
host name:g4tower.local
These settings are working not only for the Titanium g4 but for 2 other IBooks in the house. I just don't know where to put the settings in Leopard.
Thanks for any help,
Model Name: PowerBook G4 15"

Generally, there are two issues. First, you must know which paper to select, and second you must specify a feed-method that allows the paper you want to be in the list.
Second thing first, as it's more tricky.
The paper selection in the "Media Type" drop-down of the Epson 3880 Print dialog (the second print dialog presented when printing from Aperture) is limited by the selection you make for "Paper Size" in the Printer section of the Aperture "Print" dialog. To get "Fine Art" papers to show (and be selectable) in the Media Type drop-down, you must specify a Paper Size that allows those papers. Anything marked "Manual" should suffice.
An example will be helpful . I print most of my work on Epson's Hot Pressed paper, which I purchase in boxes of sheets. If I am printing to 8 ½ x 11 inch sheets, I do the following:
In Aperture, in the Printer section of the Print dialog, I select "US Letter (Manual - Rear)":
(This is the key. Selecting "US Letter" will not allow me to specify the paper I want.)
When I click the button "Print", another Print dialog opens. This one is specific to the printer (in this case, the Epson 3880). In that dialog, I specify for "Media Type" on the "Basic" tab of the "Printer Settings" tab of the "Print" dialog "Hot Press Bright":
This shows in the drop-down menu, along with other papers which must be fed manually:
I hope that helps. Non-Epson papers should come with instructions telling you the paper to select. For instance, I also print to Hahnemühle Harman low-gloss papers. These specify that I select "Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster", which I do:
In the above dialogs, you can see that I have created printer presets for the papers I regularly use.

Epson Stylus Color 880 drivers no longer there, Utility2 does not recognize

I replaced Epson Printer Utility2 version 4.0 that Snow Leopard installed with the older 3.2 off the Leopard disk and still nothing.
All I can activate it with is the crappy Gutenprint driver. The Epson Stylus Color 880 driver is gone, and installing the driver from the Epson site does not fix it (epson13044). If I launch Utility2 or Utility 3, neither see the connected 880.
Not good, since the Gutenprint driver produces awful prints, and I have no utilities for head cleaning, etc. The 880 is still my workhorse.

The EpsonSC880 driver (and Utility2) is not installed by Snow Leopard. You have to get it on the Epson site (in Europe, it is called epson318851eu.dmg) and run the installer under Rosetta.
Epson recommend to update it with their Common updater, also available on the Epson site (this updater is called epson13044.dmg).
Epson site :
for the driver : http://www.epson.co.uk/Printers-and-All-In-Ones/Inkjet/Epson-Stylus-Color-880/Dr ivers-Support?supportLandingPage=true
for the Common updater http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/SupportSnowLeopard.jsp
To activate the driver, you have to delete the printer in System Preferences, then to recreate it.
I have done tonight and it works.
But when I print some photos with PS Elements, I have very dark pictures (I let PSE manage the colors and print without calibration). If you have any idea to fix that ... thanks in advance.

Can not Print with HP LaserJet 5000 and Epson AcuLaser C9100

I am using MacBook Pro 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 with Mac OS X (10.6.6)
I already install the latest print driver from the Apple Software Update website.
The driver for HP is Ver. 17.5 & for Epson is Ver. 5.2
I connect two of the printer to my Belkin Surf N300 wireless N Router with ethernet cable.
The error when print to HP LaserJet 5000 is as follow:-
Unable to get printer status (Not Implemented)!
Network host 'x.x.x.x' is busy; will retry in 30 seconds...
This error can stay forever if I do not delete the print job
The error when print to Epson AcuLaser C9100 is as follow:-
Printer not responding
This error can stay forever if I do not delete the print job
Previously I can print with my emac with OS X 10.4.10, but now I can not print with 2 of my printer.
My 2 printer are in good condition, so this is not the printer problem.
Please, do anyone know how to fix this problem fast, because I need to use this two printer for my business.
Thanks in advance.

That is not what Greg needs to know. That is just the way that the IP addresses are assigned to the printers.
Your problem is probably that the printers were probably originally found by AppleTalk. AppleTalk is not included in Snow Leopard. If the printers support Bonjour, they should be found that way. Otherwise, you have to use other methods.
How did you add your printers on the new computer? If you delete them from Print & Fax, how would you add them again?
