Epson Stylus CX5400 - Epson Scan error dialog won't go away using OS10.4.3

I have 2 user accounts set up (both Admin) and, after setting up my printer and installing the epson software, I get an error dialog for the 2nd account that says, "Epson Scan cannot be started...". There's a Yes and No button to open the troubleshooting assistant but they are unclickable.
I spent 2 hours on the phone with Epson and finally got the message to go away for the 2nd account. However, today when I logged in, it's now appearing for the main account. Again, you can't get rid of it. I tried uninstalling, reinstalling and all that stuff with Epson on the phone last night with no success. At this point, I don't even care if I can use the scanner I just want to get rid of the error dialog. Please help!

mjj,
Same thing with an older Epson Perfection 1200, two users (one admin and one not), in OSX 10.3.9. At least I can get rid of the dialog box.
Epson Scan works fine for the admin user. Epson were useless, "check the cable" they said. And re-install the software.
If you have any advice from Epson about getting it, even temporarily, working, I'd be delighted.

  • Missing File Error Dialog won't go away

    I successfully ported my iWeb 1 site on my iMac to my MacBook and to iWeb 2. Made a bunch of changes and successfully published to my .mac page (it is up and correct). I placed the Domain file on my desktop on the new computer. However, when I try to open the Domain page it opens my site but gives an error dialog over the main window saying "The following errors occurred when trying to open this file: Missing file (then file name), missing file (then file name), etc." I have the option to 'Continue' but when I click on it nothing changes, the dialog won't go away. I've quit iWeb but it does the same thing every time. So,
    A. How do I get this dropdown dialog to go away so I can work on the site (which is now missing all these picture files (which were on the same computer)).
    B. Why would the files which were working fine Sat. be 'missing' now. No file locations (domain or pictures) have been changed since then?
    Thanks

  • Epson Stylus CX5400 printing rubbish over the network!!!

    Hi! I am visiting my mom and dad for the holidays and they have an all-in-one Epson Stylus CX 5400 connected to their WinXP computer. Bonjour installed as well.
    I have tried a few times to print some photos from iPhoto. I also tried printing an email from Apple's Mail. Everytime all I got was... nonsense basically. This kind of printout with unreadable characters.
    I thought the lack of drivers for such a device installed in my PB should make no difference but anyway I tried installing them. I was right, the result was the same.
    File sharing takes place without problem. As far as I know the drivers are up to date on both computers. If I connect the CX5400 directly to a PB's USB port it works great, but no otherwise.
    Any thoughts?
    Merry Christmas and happy 2006.
    George...

    Neither the PC nor the printer know what to do with the PostScript your Mac is sending. When the printer is attached directly to the Mac you use the printer's USB driver which speaks the printer's language, but when you send it over the network to the PC, you are using PostScript printing which the PC can't raster, and the printer doesn't understand. I don't think there is a solution here. I doubt there is a PostScript driver for that printer. You could install GhostScript on the PC, but that is very complicated and probably not worth it.

  • Inconsistencies error message won't go away

    On the MacBook Pro, running os x 1.4.9
    I keep getting the warning about syncing time delay due to "Inconsistencies in your sync information for Calendars were detected". i don't use iSync and i don't have an iMac account, so i don't CARE.
    But the message won't go away. What do i have to nuke to make it stop? it's incrediobly annoying, as it pops up every few seconds.

    I FIXED IT.
    The issue was a folder name.  For some reason, a folder was name Fersions when it should have been called Version.  I have no clue why it was named that way, but I named it correctly and the error disappeared.

  • HT4356 HP printer error message won't go away

    I've been printing from iPad to HP Envy with non-HP cartridges for years with no problems. Now the "non-HP cartridges installed" error message on printer won't go away when I hit OK.  iPad reads this as "printer is out of  ink."  Rebooting didn't help.

  • Epson Stylus Pro 3800 communication error - Help!!

    Hi All,
    I have an Epson SP3800 printer connected via USB directly to my i5 iMac with running OS X 10.6.4 with 8GB of ram and a ton of free disk space.  I am getting intermittent communications errors, seemingly at random. 
    I can print several prints successfully, but then receive a communication error at the start of a print, at the end of a print or anyplace in between.  I'm wasting far too much ink an paper to let this go unresolved.  Not to mention the frustration factor watching an A4 print be 95% complete when the error appears.
    I've scoured the web looking for a solution but I can't seem to resolve this on my own.  I'm grateful for any help you can offer trying to fix this most frustrating (and expensive) issue.
    Cheers,
    Ken

    After uninstalling the Epson driver, installing the Epson drivers (1.5GB) from the Optional Install package (which didn't contain the driver for the 3800 but you can't know until after you've installed the optional drivers), and reinstalling the downloaded 3.5cE driver, I was still given the error.
    Bonjour doesn't work, but IP does. By selecting More Printers and then selecting Epson TCP/IP, the printer showed up in the list and I was able to add it to my list of printers without the error. The Supplies button in the Printer Queue window doesn't work but Epson's utility can access the printer and get the ink levels, etc as usual.
    It appears to be a CUPS bug. In the cups/access_log, I noticed the following lines while trying to add the Epson printer:
    localhost - - 27/Oct/2007:16:46:57 +0800 "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 75 CUPS-Get-Default client-error-not-found
    I have just printed a high-res photo on the printer, a photo I printed using the same printer/sharpening/settings/etc only a week ago. I compared the two photos and there are no discernible differences. My Epson is accessible and working

  • Printing DVD labels to Epson Stylus Photo RX700 getting error

    Two Parts
    I've got a 800mhz G4 PowerBook running 10.4.11 and I can print to printable CDs/DVDs using either "Epson Print CD" which is HORRIBLE software, or Roxio's Disc Cover RE (Roxio Edition) from Toaster 9 (which is great) with no problems.
    When I try to print from my white 24" intel core2duo with 10.5.3 with either of those the Printer Settings are crossed out so I can't select the settings it tells me to in order to print the label for the printable CD or DVD.
    I've downloaded the latest print driver from Epson (2.3.1). I've tried uninstalling it and re-installing it and I get the same thing. Any ideas?

    i have a similar problem and mine just say no drivers availible during the installation.

  • Error Message - Won't Let Me Use My Memory Chip

    I need help.  I turned off my phone today and when I turned it back on this message came up, "A Media Card has been inserted that contains errors.  To correct the errors please use a disk error-checking utility on a computer."  I previously had songs, ringtones, pictures, etc on the media card and now it won't let me access them.  I hooked it up to my computer hoping it would automatically fix itself but it didn't.  However, when I brought up my media manager it would let me click on my media card as if it were still there and all of the media was still there.  But the same message appears.  I've tried taking out the media card and everything.  PLEASE HELP.

    I had the same problem only when I ran the disk error checking utility, it did seem to scan and fix a huge number of issues, only I still get the same error message and now I cant seem to access my SD card from my phone.  Also, when I hook up my phone to the computer I am able to view most of the pictures but not all of them.  The pictures that I cannot open do not seem to be readable.  They are saved as weird symbols and I cant seem to view them or save them as picture files.  Can I still recover these pictures and how can I resolve this error message??? Please help

  • Quicktime error that won't let me use iTunes

    I have used an iPod video 60GB since Dec 2005 with Windows XP Pro. Recently, my Quicktime Pro began to show a failed codec type-thing when I would try to play a .mov. I uninstalled Quicktime Pro and attempted a reinstall but it will not allow me to install anything before version 7.1.3.
    I unistalled iTunes, pondering if I could refresh the system and registry, and reinstalled iTunes+Quicktime, but it still will not allow me into iTunes or use Quicktime Pro even after I payed for the key again.
    Frustrating. Any suggestions?
    Dell Dimension 8200 Windows XP Pro

    I have the same problem, but I can't get past step 1. I can't uninstall the existing Quicktime. It says "fatal error during installation". No matter what I do, I can't get past that step. I try to repair it first, in hopes that I can uninstall it after the repair. But during the repair process, it asks me for the install folder where quicktime.msi can be found, and I can't find it on my system anywhere. It's almost like the uninstall utility has already removed that file in its attempt to uninstall the software, but didn't go all the way. Now, it seems, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Any suggestion?
    Quicktime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes
    requires Quicktime version 7.1.3 or later.
    okay. let's try a slightly different method of
    swapping out your QuickTime, involving a few extra
    explicit precautions.
    head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall
    QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program
    files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or
    double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click
    Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and
    QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your
    PC by doing a repair install of
    itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications
    prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change"
    and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the
    PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch
    properly now?
