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.
How to get the previously mentioned Epson Printer Drivers from Apple, if they weren't available through software update.

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 750 not working after upgrade to, X.5.2

I'm not sure as to what has happened since my update, however I can't print any type of documents.
However my printer will run a test page on head cleaning, so I know it's not the printer.
I'm thinking it has something to do with the driver, because I keep getting this message...,
/usr/libexec/cups/filter/rasteroepson failed
Tried reinstalling the epson drivers, but had know luck.
Looked through a few threads here in discussions, but did not find anything specific.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks in advance,

Found this link at epson USA. Hope that it helps someone.

Epson Stylus Photo 1400 not working on 10.6.5

I've done just about everything I've found online and both epson and apple are in denial of this situation. I'd been on the phone with apple to almost two hours and in the end they tell me that it's probably epson's drivers and that I need to contact them. Another 2 hours with epson pretty much saying I needed to contact apple.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Whenever I print using word/photoshop or any other apps, I get nothing. My printer icon doesnt ever come up on the dock. Even when I open it manually I see that they werent added to my queue. If I try to print with Preview App, it tells me "Error While Printing"
I've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, remove and re added printer, I've checked and repaired disk permissions. What gives? Is it 10.6.5 causing this?

So I went on and downloaded Print Therapy to see what is going on and here's what it found:

Epson Stylus Photo R1800 now working

I'm posting this because I found help here and hope this will be useful. When I switched to Leopard on my Mac Pro, my R1800 printer stopped working. First it printed everything in a washed out draft mode. Then, even after doing what was suggested in this forum, I still couldn't get back t my original dialogue box, which seemed to be the only way to activate the gloss optimizer for real photo quality.
This is how I got back to a fully functioning printer (Note: don't skip any steps, like I did initially).
1. Open up the print and fax dialogue box in system preferences. Highlight the Epson printer and click on the "minus box" to delete that printer driver.
2. Restart your computer (very important)
3. Go to the Epson Website (http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid= 14121&infoType=Downloads) and download Epson EasyPrint v3.1bA and Printer Driver v3.0aAs.
4. Install both downloads.
5. Open up the print and fax dialogue box again. If the Epson R1800 shows up again, highlight it and click on the minus sign to delete it again. Then click on the "plus" sign and add the R1800 back.
6. Look for the menu that says "Print Using." Make sure to select Epson SP R1800 (1) and not the Gutenprint option.
7. Close the dialogue box and you should be good to go.
This procedure returned my original (pre-Leopard) set of options to the R1800 and, once again, I'm getting nice prints.
Note: I do have to access that menu in a new way from Photoshop
a. make sure the triangle next to Epson Stylus Photo R1800 in the print dialogue box is pointing up to reveal the expanded menu selection.
b. under the popup menu where "layout" is listed, select "Print Settings" and you should se the menu you are used to for the R1800.
I hope this helps.

Kent,
The problem here is that the original poster is using an Intel-based Mac (Mac Pro). The driver he is referring to ONLY supports Intel-based Macs (Printer Driver v3.0aAs). So, not to put too fine a point on it, but the post should have been entitled "Epson Stylus Photo R1800 Now Working for Intel-Mac - Others SOL" (grin).
Apparently Epson doesn't think many of us have computers more than a couple years old - and that they shouldn't have to support them.
The printing problem is one that has been well documented and the lack of drivers apparently only affects those "ancient" PowerPC models, not the Intel-Macs.
So, the only current solution that I have found to date is:
1. Replace your decrepid computer with a new Intel-Mac (about $7k in my case)
2. Replace your Epson printer (I hear that the HP B9180 printers are working) and hope the new one works with your ancient PowerPC.
3. Hope that Epson gets around to writing a driver for us before our photo business go belly-up.
Full Disclosure:
Somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but still extremely frustrated.

Epson Stylus Photo R280 Stopped Working After Mac OS X Update

I have an Epson Stylus Photo R280 hooked up to my iMac running Snow Leopard. Yes, I upgraded my drivers months ago to the Epson supplied 10.6x drivers. The other day, Software Update showed an 'Epson Printer Drivers Update' and I installed accordingly. When I try and print now, I get the following error:
Error: /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Con
and the job doesn't print. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the Epson Snow Leopard drivers, but to no avail. Is there a way to uninstall an Apple update? It seems their update has killed my printer and I can't fix it. Any help is greatly appreciated!

This was very helpful.
I have an Epson Photo Stylus Photo R260 and, after updating the driver through Software Update in Snow Leopard, got the same error message when I tried to print: "rastertoescpII fail."
I did as you explained: deleted the printer from system preferences > print & fax; control-clicked to bring up the contextual message and reset my printing system; then downloaded (again) the combo update to the print driver from Epson (the driver designed for Macs running both Snow Leopard and Leopard).
Everything's working just fine again.

Epson Perfection 2450 scanner not working with Mavericks

My Epson Perfection 2450 scanner stopped working when I upgraded to Mavericks, it is not recognizing the scanner. Tried restarting, using a different USB cable, a different USB port, etc...with no luck. The issue is that my computer no longer seems to recognize that I plugged it in. Tried it with Image Capture, Photoshop, Preview and even the old Epson software.
I tried downloading the Epson Scan Patch for Mavericks released on Oct 31, 2013. That did not help either.
I'm on a MacBook Pro running Mavericks version 10.9.3.
Love this scanner and don't want to have to buy another. Any help to get my Mac to recognize it would be greatly appreciated.

Syd,
My wife's iMac with 10.6.6 stopped working with her Epson 2480 Photo scanner. Get the error message "SCANNER reported an error. An error has occurred during scanning" I am trying to use it from the Image Capture App or from the print/fax option in Settings which opens Image Capture. I ran the uninstall program and then reinstalled the ICA 13969 .dmg but get the same error. Not sure what else I can do.

"Import GPS from iPhone photos" does not work with iPhone 4

I have not been able to get A3's "Import GPS from iPhone photos" to work with my iPhone 4, I get an empty list of photos. A3 is able to import photos from iPhoto 4 without any problems but I'm not able to get the GPS data.
I'm not sure if it is an iPhone 4 or iOS4 issue, I tried my old iPhone 2G and "Import GPS from iPhone photos" is working fine.

Where are you seeing this "Import GPS from iPhone" option?? I just tried importing a picture directly from my iPhone ,and it correctly had its place marked on the Places map. Am I misunderstanding what you all are trying to do??

Spry Photo album not working with spry accordion

I am trying to get a photo album to work in the spry
accordion - so that each panel you click on the accordion is a new
photo subject (ie waterfalls, sunsets ect) but it does not work
well. Both the thumbs and the main picture are visible through all
the accordion panels instead of the one I put it in. Any ideas why
it might not work? Would you need to see my code?
Thanks

Photos app not working with VGA connector

I thought the Photos app was supposed to work with the VGA connector when in slidehow mode. I can't show photos that way, nor through the picture frame you can select from the lock screen. This is an obvious one that I read online was supposed to work?!?

-Does the VGA-out works for other items like videos? The following says VGA should work for the slideshow.

Epson stylus pro 5000 not working on snow leopard.

Does Apple have a driver I can use,?
The printer works fine and I can see it in my printer folder. It's a great unit and I used to use Power rip but they are a real pain in the *** to work with. I hit command print, but nothing happens.

There is an Epson driver available from Software Update. Here is how you can uninstall the Gutenprint driver and then get the Epson driver from Apple Software Update:
First, power off your printer, then download the Gutenprint uninstaller from http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
Once you have uninstalled the Gutenprint driver, do the following:
1. Reboot the computer
2. Power on the printer
4. Your system will check for updates. Follow the directions to install the updates.
Hope this helps.
Syd.

Photos app not working with photoshop.

Photos app not allowing me to add photos to photoshop. Anyone else have this problem? I can add photos from my home screen but not directly from photos app. iPhoto allowed me to drag and drop them into photoshop but not the new photos app. Any suggestions?

Everyone has this problem. Apparently developers have to write extensions to hook into the new app. http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html is the place for feature requests and feedback

Printer Driver. EPSON Stylus Photo 1280

Hi, I'm just setting up my printer for use on my MacBook Pro. I initially installed the Printer driver provided by EPSON and had the driver working fine. Afterwards, I setup a home network and am currently accessing the printer through my network. The printer is hooked up to my desktop, which is running XP Pro.
Now when I try to access my printer through the network, on my MacBook, which i'm running Mac OS X, 10.5.6, I can print, but it is using the OS X software, and I cannot figure out how to the EPSON driver as the driver allows me to use all the quality settings. If anyone can provide any help to me on this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Former Windows users are often dismayed to find out that print drivers on OS X aren't like on Windows. Apple has allowed printer manufacturers to continue using legacy print methods (Carbon) - where whoever writes the driver gets to choose exactly which comm protocol(s) are supported. Your Epson print driver is for USB connection only. Apple has included GutenPrint drivers (new CUPS drivers that can use any comm protocol) to help us print via the CUPS network protocols like Windows Printing. But the Gutenprint drivers aren't provided by Epson and don't have the same options. You might want to try updating your Gutenprint drivers - maybe the newer ones have better option choices.
