Epson Stylus Photo 1290 does not print after installing Snow Leopard

Hello.
I have this silly problem of having an old very good printer, and a very new system. Since my update the printer simply wont print. It gives me a "communication error". Printer Utility is working though ! I can check ink settings, clean the printing heads, but when printing the test page, which is completely EMPTY.
The Printer Utility taks AGES by the way, to do anything i want. VERY slow.
Oh, and yes, i also installed Gutenberg printer drivers additionally,
printing works there, but it is ooooooddly slooooow as well, **** it !!
Any ideas ? Thank you !!

Bitte gehen Sie in diesem Fall wie folgt vor.
1. Löschen Sie alle Epson Drucker aus der Druckerliste.
2. Deinstallieren Sie den Treiber über die Installationsroutine. Besteht diese Möglichkeit nicht gehen Sie bitte direkt zu Punkt 3.
3. Löschen Sie den Inhalt des Ordners "Epson" unter HDD -> Library -> Printers.
4. Suchen Sie im Finder nach Druckermodell und löschen gefundene Einträge.
5. Starten Sie Ihren Mac neu.
6. Laden Sie den aktuellen Treiber von unserer Website und installieren Sie diesen. http://esupport.epson-europe.com/de-DE
7. Schließen Sie den Drucker direkt am Mac an, Kabellänge <= 2m. Sollte der Drucker im folgenden nicht gefunden werden schließen Sie ihn bitte per USB und nicht per FireWire oder Netzwerkkabel an. Verwenden Sie keinen USB-Hub und nicht den USB-Port an der Tastatur.
8. Drucker hinzufügen:
8.1 Power PC 10.x.x
Gehen Sie ins Druckerdienstprogramm wählen Sie hinzufügen (unter Tiger 10.4.x dann weitere Drucker) und wählen die korrespondierende EPSON-Schnittstelle (Epson-USB, Epson Firewire, Epson Appletalk, Epson TCP/IP) im Dialog aus. Der Drucker wird in der Auswahlliste angezeigt. Markieren Sie ihn und wählen Sie wenn möglich Papierformat "ALLE". Schließen Sie den Vorgang mit hinzufügen.
8.2 Mac-Intel 10.4.x
Gehen Sie ins Druckerdienstprogramm wählen Sie hinzufügen und wählen die korrespondierende EPSON-Schnittstelle (USB, Epson Firewire, Epson Appletalk, Epson TCP/IP) im Dialog aus. Der Drucker wird in der Auswahlliste angezeigt. Markieren Sie ihn und wählen Sie wenn möglich Papierformat "ALLE". Schließen Sie den Vorgang mit hinzufügen.
8.3 Leopard 10.5.x
Gehen Sie in Drucker & Faxe, wählen Sie hinzufügen, wählen Sie den Drucker aus der Liste (USB/Bonjour) und prüfen Sie, daß im Feld "Drucken mit/Druckermodell" EPSON und das Kürzel für Ihren Drucker steht. z.B.: "SPRO3800". Um den Drucker per EPSON Appletalk hinzuzufügen, wählen Sie oben rechts das Symbol "andere". Wählen Sie hinzufügen um die Installation abzuschließen.
8.4 Snow Leopard 10.6.x
Gehen Sie in Drucker & Faxe, wählen Sie das "+" Zeichen, wählen Sie den Drucker aus der Liste (USB/Bonjour) und prüfen Sie, daß im Feld "Drucken mit/Druckermodell" EPSON und das Kürzel für Ihren Drucker steht. z.B.: "SPRO3800". Um den Drucker per EPSON Appletalk oder per Epson Firewire hinzuzufügen, wählen Sie oben rechts das Symbol "andere". Wählen Sie hinzufügen um die Installation abzuschließen.
Beim Update von 10.4 oder 10.5 auf 10.6 empfehlen wir das Drucksystem zurückzusetzen und dann die Treiber neu zu installieren. Dieses Verfahren kann auch beim bei Punkt 1 benutzt werden. Allerdings sind dann alle Drucker gelöscht!
Falls Sie noch weitere Fragen, Wünsche oder Äußerungen haben, stehen wir Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
EPSON Deutschland

How can I go back to snow leopard my epson stylus Photo TX810FW does not work with Lion

My Epson Stylus Photo TX810FW printer does not work with Lion how do I go back to Snow Leopard?

Did you try removing the printer from the queue and then reinstalling it?
I attempted to print this morning for the first time after upgrading to Lion and discovered that while everything appeared normal on my Epson printer, it would never print.
I opened System Preference > Print & Scan and deleted the printer.
I then added the printer back and it now working again. Worth a shoot first I should think.
Much easier the a downgrade.

Many things not working after installing Snow Leopard!

Just installed Snow Leopard (10.6.3) on my 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac and now I've got problems. All the dates I've added to iCal are gone. Almost all my address book contacts are gone. I can't access my Airport Express network. And my Epson Workforce 40 printer won't print. Hopefully that's all.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix any of these problems I would very much appreciate your help.
Thanks,
wendy

Thanks for responding.
I didn't have time machine before I upgraded so I don't have a TM backup. I think I have a bootable backup, but I'm not sure how to use it. Also, I realize I should be able to retrieve my address book and iCal, but how will this help with my printing problems and airport connectivity? Sorry to be so green, but I've never had a problem like this with an upgrade before.

Iphoto not working after installing snow leopard

My hardrive crashed while I was living in South America so I got the authorized mac dealership to put in a new one. Once I got back I was able to get all my photos and files from an external hardrive but I realized that my computer software was still 10.5.8. So I put in the Snow Leopard disk that I had bought because I realized that when they put in a new hardrive they didn't install Snow Leopard. After I installed Snow Leopard my iphoto now says "Caution The iPhoto Library folder is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." How do I fix this? I called Mac and because I bought the computer in 2007 I do not have any applecare so that will cost me $60 and the mac authorized dealership told me to call them or buy the new iLife in hopes that the problem will be fixed.

See if one of the fixes in this topic helps: iPhoto becomes locked volume: Apple Support Communities

Do it from the Hard drive rather than the Install disk.

Mavericks 10.9.3 / epson stylus photo px730wd: can not print cd

Hello, I have a problem with my inc printer: I can no longer print CD's!
The other thing I noticed is, that the "head cleaning tools" are no longer available.
I installed the "Epson Printer Drivers v2.17 for OS X" package but I did not see a change. The driver still says it is 2.0...
I hope you have an idea... and if it would be a hint, which CD printer IS working with machericks 10.9.3.
Thanks in advancs!

I don't know if this helps, but I've always had problems printing wireless with my Epson Photo Printer 580. I am now able to print CDs wireless by going to Epson's North America site and downloading the EPson Print CD v2.0 as well as as the common updater.

"Inkjet 4 Quit Unexpectedly" error message after installing Snow Leopard, C410 printer

Can't get printer to print after installing Snow Leopard. C410 Photosmart Premium All in One Printer. Keeps saying "Inkjet 4 Quit Unexpectedly". Wireless test says everything is fine.

If you are using Snow Leopard or Lion and have HP software for pre-Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard or Lion and had the HP software on your Mac before you upgraded - even if you did a standard uninstall of the old software or installed new software over the top of it) you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Press and hold Control + Alt + Cmd keys on the keyboard simultaneously while you click on Uninstall <<<< This IS the Scrubber Option, there is no button labeled "Scrubber"
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish
Restart your Mac
Download and install this: support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Now reset the printing system:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
Finally, get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Epson Stylus Photo 1290 - how do I remove items from the print queue?

Description of problem with "Epson Stylus Photo 1290" Application:
After selecting Show Completed Jobs from the main menu (Jobs > Hide/Show Completed Jobs) I am presented with a status list of print jobs (a.k.a. "print queue") that are either marked as "Completed", "Cancelled", "On Hold", "Printing" etc. Each and every time I print an item it is added to this list.
I simply want to clear this list.
However, the application's "Delete" button appears to only transform a "Printing" job to a "Cancelled" job, for example.
So how on earth do I clear the old (and, to me, useless) jobs listed in this print queue?
I know this isn't apple software but seeking help on the EPSON sites (and the rest of the net) has led me nowhere.
Many many thanks in advance if anyone can suggest anything!
My set-up:
Hardware:
Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,1
Boot ROM Version: MBP51.007E.B05
SMC Version (system): 1.33f8
Running: OS X 10.5.8
Problem App: EPSON Stylus Photo 1290.app, version 6.0.3
Queue name: EPSONStylus_Photo1290
Host name: localhost
Driver version: 3.09 (confirmed as latest)
URL: usb://EPSON/Stylus%20Photo%201290?serial=WORLL0112061542320
Have print log files been cleared: Yes (using MacPilot)
Have print preferences been trashed/reset: Yes (all that I could find)
When did this problem start: not sure, I first noticed it several months after first using it on my MBP 10.5.x

Hmmmm. Doesn't look like I can edit my post. Okay.......
Contrary to what I've said above, this IS an Apple issue as the problem lies in the Print Queue, which is part of the OS.
The "fix" is to go System Preferences > Print & Fax and then delete the 1290 from the list of printers.
When the 1290 printer is re-added its print queue is now empty AND the Delete button does as it is supposed to do - it deletes items from the queue list.
Hooray!

Does Lion work with an Epson Stylus Photo R2000 Ink Jet Printer?

Does Lion work with an Epson Stylus Photo R2000 Ink Jet Printer?

Took deliverly of my R2000 yesterday 11/04/2012.
**** of a job/mission getting to connect wirelessly to OSX Lion, but thanks to the perseverence of Epson support online chat plus ultimately phone call from Epson,the problem was resolved (total 3hours 45mins online chat 45mins on phone) yes i was a gineapig as the R2000 has only been available since March 2012 here in the UK.
1. Download combo driver/utilities for R2000 Mac 10.6 (works with Lion)
2. Install latest drivers and Epsonet.
3. Connect the printer to your wireless router using a LAN cable.
4. Ensure ink is installed on startup of the printer as the printer wont for some reason communicate without it as all the printer knows is it needs ink.
5. Ensure Mac is also connected to router.
6. Run Epsonet.
7. When Epsonet has found the R2000 click next.
8. Then click Changes on the following screen.
9. Select wireless Lan.
10. Select config manually (the auto will not work with Lion)
11. Allow Epsonet to use passwords from keychain network name(SSID) + WEP password.
12. When done you will be prompted to disconnect the LAN from the printer.
13. Then Click next.
14. Ensure wireless light on printer is lit if not hold WiFi button on printer for 3 Secs.
15. If config is successful (it took me Two attempts) goto system preferences/print/scan/Add printer and add the R2000 that ends in IP.
Hope this helps someone. Epson support is a good enough reason to buy Epson IMO as mentioned with their help it took nearly 4 hours to reach the above solution at no cost to myself and believe you me i was on the verge of returning the printer to the supplier as Wireless printing is a must with a 19 month old child on the loose.
Thanks Epson/Europe

Epson Stylus Photo R2400 won't print large pages?

I recently upgraded to Mac OS X Leopard. I immediately had problems with printing to my Epson Stylus Photo R2400 as a print driver gutenprint had suddenly replace my Epson driver when going thu dialog to print. Called and Epson and they got me thru process of getting rid of the newly replaced gutenprint to an Epson driver. Problem is I can't print anything larger than an 8.5x11 page. The printer set up says and shows me that what I have set as an 11x17 or 13x19 is going to print. But all that prints on this large expensive paper is an area 8.5x8.5. No matter what I change in set up. Epson says they have done all they can do. (And I just found out last week they have replaced this printer with another printer). I have hundreds of dollars in newly purchased inks and I am wasting expensive paper.
Also I had to remove the patch for OS leopard to get the printer to work in this diminished capacity.
And my email signature disappeared. Can't get that back either.
But printer is my biggest problem. Any suggestions how to get this printer to work with this new OS leopard and print large sizes? I have deadlines and hate to outsource the printing when I could easily do it in house.

Well, you picked the very hardest way to do it, and as time goes on, you will probably discover many other things wrong with your system as well. You CANNOT go back to Tiger from Leopard via an archive and install; you have to wipe the drive and start over from scratch, and then transfer all your data over from a backup and reinstall most, if not all, of your applications so the right elements are in the right places. Even so you'll never get your system exactly back to where it was, unless you had a perfect bootable Tiger backup (via SuperDuper) and merely restored from that. Obviously whatever Leopard element that killed your printing capability is still on your frankenstein system of BOTH Tiger and Leopard parts.
There are hundreds of posts on the issue of reverting to Tiger from Leopard, many quite detailed. So many things are changed from upgrading from one to the other that what you attempted (unless you completely wiped the drive and all your data) has always proven disastrous, which is why I highly recommended against it after reading hundreds of horror stories here.
I suggest doing a search at downgrading from Leopard to Tiger, following those instructions if you can, and making the best of it. You'll find that springing the $200 for an external drive would have been a much better and easier solution, because it can come in very handy if you ever need to do any maintenance on your internal hard drive, or if some update or problems kill your internal drive and you can't even boot the system. Not to mention sooner or later always needing more storage capability, and even a drive for reliable backups.
I would never dream of attempting a downgrade or needing to do it in the first place (having taken precautions as to never have to), so I can't give you any further advice than that.
