Epson Stylus Photo 2200--Roll Paper function not found

After I reset my printer function for another problem, I lost my ability to print on Roll Paper altogether. The other fuctions that go along with the Stylus Photo 2200 driver are not made available.  I cannot print my panoramas.  I have gone around and around and around with Epson who finally seemingly gave up.
When Stylus Photo 2200 is listed as the printer only Epson (SP2200) comes up as a companion printer.  No matter what I do, and I have done everything from dumping everything Epson and starting completely over to every thing Epson suggested. 
It seems the menu Printer Setup Utility has changed and when the printer is listed, it only offers only "Printer Model" that stays greyed out instead of "Page Setup" which was what gave me the functions I needed to add in the past .  Is there a way to revert back to the old Printer Setup Utility?  Using the Epson Printer Utility doesn't work because, although it shows the printer driver, it offers no way to add the Roll Paper function.  I hope this makes sense and that someone can figure this out!  Thanks

I have done everything from dumping everything Epson and starting completely over to every thing Epson suggested.

What to do when you can't print
Sometimes, installing the GIMP drivers help with printing issues: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
Which OS are you working with?  OS 10.3.9 (Panther) or OS 10.4.11 (Tiger)?

  • Epson Stylus Photo 2200 RIP Software errors

    I'm at my wit's end! For no apparent reason, I cannot print to my Epson Stylus Photo 2200 with my Stylus RIP Pro 2.0 PS server software from either of my 2 computers--I get the same problems from both computers. I have a Dual 1 GHz PowerPC G4 running Mac OS 10.4.7 and a new 2x2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon running 10.4.8. I'm trying to print from Illustrator CS2. Several different things are happening when I print the job.
    a) It sends the print job to print far too quickly. Sometimes it times out and never even appears in the 127.0.0.1 window, and doesn't send it to the RIP. The job simply disappears. When it does send to the printer, it stops the job, putting it on hold and when I click start jobs, it promptly stops it again and this repeats itself going nowhere.
    I gave up, unplugged it, disconnected the USB, plugged it all back in, repaired permissions to both computers, restarted and then tried to print again and then:
    b) In the printer list the job shows up as first printing to the RIP (127.0.0.1) for a few seconds, then it quickly bounces to the next printer on my list, an HP laser jet???!!!
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled both the RIP software and the 2200 in printer setup utility and on both systems. All the files I'm trying to print will print directly to the 2200, just not through the RIP software, so I know it's communicating. The files will all print to my other printers as well, but I need to print them to the 2200 with the RIP for best quality.
    When I launch the RIP software, sometimes--but not every time--I immediately get a PS server error that says: EPSONLPRService EPSONLPRService error. This happens on both computers. I have received no help from Epson whatsoever. I run a business and I must print this job. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks!!!

    Thnx for the reply. I think I have a better understanding of your setup. I was thinking that you had a physical RIP, rather than it being software. That would explain why you are using the loopback address to view the spool area of the RIP.
    However, could you confirm some more. Is the Epson physically connected to one Mac via USB or is it network with its own IP address?
    You also mention in your original post a HP printer jobs were switching to. Is this an Ethernet or USB printer?
    The reason I ask is that I was thinking that if they were both networked then there may be an addressing issue. As a test I would change the RIP software so that only the Epson printer is spooled to.
    I would also only print from TextEdit. The CS2 suite is not an ideal test app, unless it is only the suite you are having trouble printing from.
    I know that you have already performed a repair permissions, but I would do it after booting from the OS X disc. I'm guessing the RIP software acts as a service and starts on boot. If you boot from the disc, the service won't have started and therefore it will respond to any attempt by the system to repair it.
    The other thing I would try is downloading the full 10.4.8 Combo updater for Intel and PPC and run this on both Mac's respectively.
    Also, check that you have correct queue names for the LPD queue. This can cause jobs to behave as you mention. Better still, see if the software supports some other protocol such as Raw (Port 9100). If it does then you can connect using the HP Jet Direct-Socket to see if that works.

  • Epson Stylus Photo 2200 and Bonjour

    My Epson Stylus Photo 2200 printer can use either Firewire or USB. When connected directly to my G5 with Firewire I can add printer features which include setups for "Borderless" and "Minimal Margins" printing.
    However, from my MacBook Pro, after installing the latest Epson driver, I can print only in Standard mode through Bonjour. This is with the printer attached to my Airport Extreme USB port.
    I contacted Epson and this was their reply:
    "Thank you for contacting the Epson Connection.
    You will need to contact Apple and inform them that there Bonjour protocol
    doesn't support extra features like borderless and minimal margins. As
    stated before, Epson America supports the product only with a direct USB
    connection to a USB port on the computer and a direct Firewire cable to a
    firewire port on the computer. Epson America doesn't support or test any
    type of third-party printer servers, switchs, routers or Apple base
    stations. Apple has already stressed that there base stations do not
    support the Epson Status monitor. Unfortunately, if the Apple Bonjour
    protocol only supports the "Standard" printer driver, there is nothing
    Epson can do about it and you will need to talk to Apple and see if they
    have any work around. "
    How can I get this printer to use these features that I use regularly without connecting directly from computer to printer? Is there a work around?
    It seems silly to have to connect directly. After all that's why we got MacBooks - to access the internet and print - remotely!
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 2GB SDRAM
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    You can try uninstalling the drivers for your printer and re-installing the printer drivers....Also, then try to add the printer port and try to check the same.....hope that should sort this out....

  • TS3147 Can't install the software for the EPSON Epson Stylus Photo R2000 because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.

    Can't install the software for the EPSON Epson Stylus Photo R2000 because it is not currently available from the Software Update server???
    I am using mac osx 10.8 and now cant get print software for epson R2000 printer.

    After system update, my Epson Stylus SX 535WD was ''gone''. I tried in vain to add it as an IP printer (got the IP-address from the printer). The printer model is correctly recognized, software download starts -- but then  the "software ... is not currently available..."
    Resetting  the printing system did not help. Downloading Epson Printer Drivers v2.15.1 from  here
    did not help either, downloading Epson Printer Drivers.
    In the end, I re-installed the printer software from the original CDs. After that the printer showed up as a Bonjour Printer, and I could add it without problem.
    But note: although the printer is installed now and working properly, I still get the old error message (...software ..not available...) if I try to add the printer as an IP printer !?

  • Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer driver will not update from 2.53 to 3.0

    I am having an issue with installing a print driver from Epson's web site. I do not have access to the print options or any other settings of the printer when i try to FILE>PRINT. The choices are crossed off the list and say "This panel is not compatible with your computer. Contact the printer manufacturer for the latest version of your printer software."
    It says my driver is version 2.53, I installed the 3.0 Driver numerous times today, one of which was with an Epson tech support representative and their conclusion was that it is something wrong with my computer.
    The printer prints and is recognized in the print & fax utility; i can add and remove it at will, but the 2.53 will not upgrade to 3.0.
    Has anyone had this problem?

    Hi Apos, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Is this the driver you got, v3.10...

  • Epson Stylus Photo 2200 defective print menu in Mac X

    My print menu on my Epson 2200 suddenly changed in Mac X. It's added a dither algorhythm choice and a complex DPI menu. I don't like it, it screws up my photos and I would like to get rid of it. I have taken everything that makes reference to printer off the harddrive but it's still there. I have reinstalled, uninstalled, installed again the print drivers on the disk to no avail. I cannot get rid of this menu. The one I had before was a pain but a less complicated one and my photos printed beautifully. I might mention it is not the printer as if I go to Mac 9 with it's perfect menu, the photos print beautifully also. Anyone had this problem and, if so, what'd they do. Epson Technical help was confounded and gave up on me. What do I need to get rid of to start all over? Thanks

    You indicated in your first post that you have been installing, removing, etc. Let's try a fresh start.
    We'll do some clean up. Open Printer Setup Utility and delete any printer queues you have set up for the Epson 2200. Quit Printer Setup Utility
    Now go to the /Library/Printers folder and delete the Epson folder if there is one present. Next go to the /Library/Receipts folder and delete the "EpsonPrinterDriver.pkg" and the "SP2200 18a.pkg". You may only have one of these files or you may have both.
    You can now start a fresh installation process of the printer driver. I would recommend that you use the latest driver from the Epson site. It is listed as the "Printer Driver v1.8aAs". When you unpack the download, you will find that it places a folder "epson11019" on your Desktop. Inside this folder will be a disk image that contains the actual installer for the drivers. Run the installer.
    Now it's time to add your printer(s). We need to go back to your Desktop. As you unpacked the Epson download, a PDF file "OS X booklet.pdf" was also placed on your Desktop. Open this file. It will give you a pictorial guide on how to add your printer in OS X 10.3.x. Open Printer Setup Utility. The short version is that you open Printer Setup Utility; highlight your printer if it appears; click on the Add icon and highlight your printer; use the pop up menu to select EPSON USB or EPSON FIREWIRE; select the paper format you want to add; click Add to add the printer.
    You do not need Easy Print for your printer driver to work. Depending on the applications your are running, it may provide some extra measure of "ease of use". It should be noted however that this Easy Print is more a utility program that will only add enhancements if the application you are using is written to take advantage of the Easy Print software.
    It is only the Gimp-Print drivers that have the choices for "dither" et al. The Epson drivers are similar to those used in OS 9.x. To get at these settings, look for "Print Settings" in the Copies & Pages pop up menu.

  • Epson Stylus Photo R2880 feeds paper straight through without printing

    So I recently got an Epson R2880 at work, and it at first it was awesome. After a few days, it started feeding paper straight through without printing (it doesn't even pretend to print) and telling me that the "Media [is] out or not loaded correctly". I went back and forth with Epson on it for a bit, and they ended up sending me a new printer.
    The new printer seemed to work fine for a day or so, and then it started doing the same thing. If I turn it off and remove it from my printers list and then turn it back on and try again, sometimes it will make a print before starting to feed straight through again.
    Here in the office, most of my printing consists of PDFs that I do through Acrobat XI. Some of them are borderless, some of them aren't. I have also tried printing from Preview and straight from InDesign CC and received the same results. I have tried multiple USB cables and my permissions are all in order.
    I am running Mavericks 10.9.2 on a 2013 Mac Pro.
    Since it seems fairly unlikely that I received two consecutive printers that have the same problem, I'm thinking that the problem is with something on my end. I'm willing to entertain the possibility that my luck really is bad enough to have two printers feed paper instead of print on it. I'm also willing to entertain the possibility that I'm an idiot and am repeatedly doing something idiotically. Regardless, I'm hoping that someone out there has some experience with this and can point me in the right direction, because holy cow this is annoying and Epson hasn't been super helpful.
    Thank you for reading this.

    I've never seen that one!
    While waiting in the hope that "someone" will know the cause, I suggest you try the two generic fixes I try for all print problems:
    First, Reset the Printing System:

    If that doesn't help, restart from the Recovery partition, and use Disk Utility to repair the hard drive and repair permissions:

  • IPhoto 6 and Epson Stylus Photo 2200 Printer

    The photos that I print from iPhoto 6 to my Epson 2200 printer are all coming out way too green. What settings do I need to use in the print dialog -- and color management? -- to get decent results? I can print beautifully from Photoshop CS2 to the 2200. I just can't figure out what settings to use in iPhoto. Thanks in advance for your help with this question. _sidpink
    G5 Tower   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Kingstone's reply was helpful even though a little discouraging. But it made me realize that the problem probably lies with the choice of which software is doing the color management. The Epson 2200 printer driver provides some "advanced" settings in the print window, and I had been specifying "No color adjustment," because that's the setting recommended when printing from Photoshop. I had simply been trying the same setting when printing from iPhoto. But I went back and printed a photo from iPhoto using the "Color Controls" setting (without changing any of the variables), and the print came out perfectly! So I've answered the question to my satisfaction thanks to Kingstone's reply -- and I don't have to go out and invest in Photoshop Elements.

  • Printing to Stylus Photo 2200 At High Resolution Causes Color Shift

    I recently upgraded to InDesign CS3, and I'm having color issues when printing to my Epson Stylus Photo 2200 using higher resolution settings.
    From the Print dialog box I click the Printer button and choose Print Settings from the pull down menu. For Media Type I choose Enhanced Matte Paper and set the Print Quality to Photo - 1440.
    When I print the file (a document I've printed successfully many times before) the grey process color in my logo come out burgundy, and the other colors are all off.
    If I don't adjust any of the Printer settings, the colors appear fine, but the quality is poor.
    How can I fix this issue?

    Sorry for being but I was just brought in to solve the same problem as Nobody Special and now searching forums! Both Apple Cinema monitor and Epson 2200 were calibrated with a Greytag MacBeth Eye1Photo.
    The problem is a color shift and a greater saturation of color. When the image was printed with the same system using InDesign and Photoshop CS2, it printed accurately. With CS3, the problem noted above developed.

    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.
