Epson Stylus Photo R320 Won't show in OS 9.2.2 Chooser

I just purchased an Epson Stylus Photo R320, primarily to print on CDs and DVDs. This fancy new inkjet replaced my dependable Epson C-86. My problem is that after installing the Epson printing software on my G5 2.0, I can print, as usual, great in 10.4.5, but now, not in OS9.2.2 anymore. The R320 icon shows up in the left side of the Chooser, but when I select it, nothing shows up on the right side. I really don't want to go back to my C-86 since it doesn't print on CD/DVD media and I still use some old OS9 software that still works great but now won't print. I've done all the little things one might expect (i.e., throw away prefs, reinstall OSX and OS9, reinstall only OS9, permissions, etc.) but to no avail. I even reinstalled the OSX software. Nothing.
Any thoughts on this?

Hello 64M,
Is Chooser showing your USB bus or is it showing the default Modem or Printer port Setting?

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.

Epson Stylus Photo 700 won't print in OS 9.2

HI,
I got my usb to parallel adapter to work with my Stylus Photo 700 on my Blueberry with OS 10.3.9 and usbtb and gimp=Print. I have been trying to figure out how to get it to work in the classic environment-9.2.2. The Epson window comes up and Ii have access to utilities there but the "*printer is not available*"
Any ideas how to overcome that little problem?
Thanks,
Warren McNeely

If this article doesn't work:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300849
Then you need a Mac OS 9 version of both the printer driver and the USB to Parallel adapter. Unfortunately the company that makes the older version of the driver has a website domain that no longer works if Keyspan's drivers don't work. That company was Strydent, and their driver was called Powerprint. You may want to toss that printer and get one known to work in the Classic environment. Only Canon has on their support pages listings of printers that do work in the Classic environment. You may find more info that is relevant on my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
You may be able to find someone whos still has Strydent's software, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Epson Stylus Photo R320

I am having a problem getting this printer to work with my Mac Mini 1.83Ghz Core 2 Duo with 3gbs ram. Every time I try to print a job, the Print Queue shows the job starting and then goes to "Stopped". The printer refuses to print even though it is recognized by the system.

After much deliberation, I used the Gutenprint Uninstaller and removed all the Gutenprint drivers from my system (which removed the printer also), added the printer, and lo and behold, the printer is working fine, now with the driver from Epson.
This is the second time that I have found the Gutenprint drivers affecting my 2 Epson printers as it also did the same thing with an R280. Both printers are working fine now and there are no Gutenprint drivers on my OSX 10.4 and OSX 10.5 installations.

Epson Stylus Photo RX680 with Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter 2 won't pair

This post describes my problem, but I couldn't reply since it has been archived:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7882399&#7882399
I am having the same issue with an Epson Stylus Photo RX680 and their Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter 2. I go to System Preferences -> Bluetooth -> Set Up New Device, click Continue, select Printer, and click Continue. At this point, the Bluetooth Setup Assistant sends me to the Print & Fax System Preferences window. I can add the printer under the Bluetooth heading. It finds the drivers and adds the printer to my printers list, but a test page (or anything else) won't print. The job is added to the queue, but it stops trying to print after a few seconds. If I go to the Bluetooth System Preferences, I can see the printer listed (for a while), and I notice that it is connected but not paired.
If I run the Bluetooth Setup Assistant and select Any Device instead of Printer, I see the printer in the list and can view the Passkey options. It is set to "Use a specific passkey", which is what I need. I have tried changing it to a different option and then changing it back, but it does not seem like this has an effect on how the printer is paired. I have never been asked for a passkey when attempting to add this printer, and I suspect that this is why I cannot print to it.
I have also tried enabling and disabling Bluetooth sharing, and this does not seem to have an effect, whether "require pairing" is checked or not. Isn't there some place where I can choose "Pair this device" once it has been discovered? I find it strange that I can connect to it but have no option to pair afterward (at least that I can find). To make the matter more complicated, the printer disappears from the device list in the Bluetooth System Preferences after about 30 seconds, so I have to remove the printer and reinstall it in order to see the it in the list again.
I am able to print to this printer using bluetooth from a Windows XP machine, so I don't think that there is a problem with the adapter. I am also able to print to this printer using USB, so I don't think that there is a driver problem. I believe (though I certainly could be wrong) that the issue is that the device is not paired. Can anybody help?
Thank you.
-Kyle

I was trying to find a way to use the Epson drivers because the Gutenprint drivers don't support duplexing or feeding out of the front tray on this printer, but at least this got bluetooth printing working. I downloaded the latest Gutenprint drivers (5.2.2), ran the uninstall program first to get rid of the old drivers, and then installed the new ones. I added the printer through the bluetooth heading in the Add Printer dialog, and I selected the RX680 Gutenprint driver (which was not available with the default OS X 10.5.5 installation). Once again, the printer showed up as connected but not paired in the Bluetooth System Preferences, and it disappeared from the device list after a few seconds, but printing works now. The print quality for this printer is much improved by the new drivers as well.
Bluetooth setup is mentioned in the user documentation. It's kind of a joke:
Macintosh computer: Double-click Bluetooth File Exchange in your Utilities folder and follow the on-screen instructions.
That's it. I have been disappointed with this printer on a number of occasions. If you are going to connect directly through USB, then it's probably fine. If you want to use any form of network connectivity, you had better be running Windows on any machine involved.
I'll talk with Epson support to see if I can get any further with their drivers. Since it's supposed to work, I'd like to see if I can get it to happen. Otherwise, I'll return the adapter and share the printer through a spare desktop.

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!!!
Dual 1 GHz PowerPC G4 & 2x2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon 10.4.8 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

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.

How can I remove vertical lines when printing from Aperture 3.2.2 to Epson Stylus Photo RX690?

I have been generally quite happy with my access to and use of Aperture 3.2.2 (recently purchased) for import and manipulation of photos and movies, etc.I am using Aperture on a MacBook Pro OSX 10.6.8.
However I have been unable to print high quality images on Epson premium glossy, glossy or matt paper on my Epson Stylus Photo RX690.
High quality prints on screen show perfectly in preview, but all prints come out with good and accurate colours, but a series of vertical lines or bands of lines across the photo print.
Using the Aperture Manual I have checked my settings in Aperture for the printer, for colour and quality of paper etc and they all seem to be correct.
The Epson Printer is networked with a Toshiba (Vista) laptop which prints perfect results from Picasa and Photoshop with fine colour and no markings.
I would appreciate any help please.
Cam Opie

Thank you Mark
I thought I had done all the settings .....but no.
I now have perfect prints. Easy when you know how!!!
Cheers

Can't print using Epson Stylus Photo R300

I am new to Mac ownership and have been having issues since updating to OS10.4.9. I have an Epson Stylus Photo R300 and have been using CUPS and Gimprint to print w/o a problem (OK, I had to call tech support and spent 10 hours getting it figured out) Now, for no reason my computer won't print again. I'm not sure what the issue is. Nothing has changed. I use a wireless print server connected to my wireless router. I've tried everything today. I'd removed all print drivers, CUPS and Gimprint and reinstalled. I've tried checking to see if the router has a different IP but nothing is working.
When I go to print the utility will spool the printing and then tell me the printer is busy and it will try again later.. then it times out. I've cleared the print history and jobs but still get the message. The only time I got anything close to printing was when I selected default browser, selected the wireless router but it chose Apple talk at the communication so I just got syntax stuff to print. Nothing in English.
So any help from ANYONE would be appreciative because Apple wasn't helpful when I called today.

Is there any reason why you're not using the standard Epson supported driver? It's available here

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 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!

Anyone else having difficulty with Adobe Photoshop CC and Epson Stylus Photo R3000?

Everytime I try to print an image from Photoshop CC to my Epson Stylus Photo R3000, it can't seem to find the printer. I have no problem printing the same image from Lightroom 5 or Preview on Mac. The printer shows in the Photoshop Print Dialogue box but after I click Print the print queue just says searching for printer and can't find it. I can print a test page from the printer Utility and anything else I try, just not Photoshop CC. I'm running OSX 10.9 Mavericks. Thanks.

FIX for EPSON Print CD V2.02 - EPSON Stylus Photo R200 - MAC OS 10.5.9

I thought I'd post this ridiculously long info sheet on what finally got my R200 to work with EPSON Print CD and 10.5.8 just in case it might help someone else BEFORE they spend days searching for a solution.
Check the printer driver information in System Preferences, Print & Fax. If it says anything other than EPSON SP R200 Series, you’ve likely located the problem. My system showed the Gutenprint v5.1.3 and /or CUPS/+GIMP... I originally replaced the Gutenprint driver file with the CUPS... file thinking this would solve the Gutenprint driver problem. But, as I continued to look into what was going on, I think I found out that both driver files are actually considered Gutenprint driver files.
1. Select the hard drive where the operating system is located.
2. Select Library/Printers.
3. Select the Epson folder and delete it and then Empty Trash to make sure it’s gone.
4. Select Library/Preferences.
5. Select the Epson folder and delete any files that are there.
(Steps 4 & 5 might not be necessary, but I’m listing everything that I did.)
6. In System Preferences, select Printers and Fax. Control click in listing area and select Reset Printers.
7. Load the Leopard Installation CD and select Optional Installation.
8. Select Printers and select Epson. This will reload the printer drivers for all the EPSON printers that are included on the install CD.
9. Go back to the System Preferences, Printers and Fax window. Click on the + sign to add a printer.
10. There will likely be a listing with Printer Name as EPSON Stylus Photo R200, Kind as USB.
11. Click on an arrow in the Print Using: box and select EPSON SP R200 Series. The printer icon changed dramatically at this point, with a rainbow of colors on the document shown coming out of the printer.
Note: **Working within the Print & Fax app seems to be key to getting the settings corrected.** Someone else pointed out that they also found this necessary. However, I couldn’t get the proper “Print Using:” option to appear until I cleaned out the Library/Printers/Epson folder, “Reset Printers”, and reloaded the EPSON printer drivers from the Leopard installation CD.
I had previously done the “Reset Printers” and reloaded the printer files, but as was advised against in the post I mentioned, I selected the “More Printers” option. That’s where I found the EPSON Stylus Photo R200 listed with the CUPS+Gimp ... and the Gutenprint driver listing options. Selecting what appeared to be the Gutenprint alternate printer driver didn’t help at all. I’m not sure if the EPSON SP R200 driver file was missing from the original listing of printer drivers or if I just missed it. I certainly would have looked for it if I had known it was the one that’s needed.
12. Open the EPSON Print CD V2.02 app. Although I had already installed the Easy Print update, I got a message saying that the application needed the update to work. So, I reinstalled the Easy Print update.
13. After reinstalling the Easy Print update, I reselected Update Printer Information. Much to my amazement, I got a message and a progress indicator showing the Printer Information was being updated to reflect the EPSON Stylus Photo R200 printer.
14. When the Update Printer Information process had completed, I clicked on Print and suddenly found that I was able to choose Select Printer and pick the EPSON Stylus Photo R200 and CD/DVD wondrously appeared in the Media Type.
After this point, all the other instructions that are provided from EPSON seemed to work just fine.
Hopefully, there’s enough information in here somewhere that people with other operating systems and printers might at least be able to get a clue . . .

I dug around on the Epson site and found this which seemed to address the exact problem so they obviously know about it. Unfortunately even these rather drastic steps failed to solve the issue for me.

Problem using Print CD on Epson Stylus Photo RX700

I recently installed OS 10.5.1 (leopard) on my iMac (intel core duo) and my Epson Stylus Photo RX700 all-in-one printer appears to be working okay, except when I try to use the Print CD application, I get a message "Epson printer driver dealing with CD printing is not installed". I tried downloading updates from the epson.com site ( 1- Epson Easy Print v3.1bA for intel, 2- TWAIN Driver & Epson Scan Utility v3.02A, 3- Printer Driver v3.0aAS), but I still get the same message. Any suggestions? -Don

You need to add the Epson drivers from the OS X Install disk. Below is what Epson sent me. Note that when you re-add the Printers, there no longer is a Printer Set Up Utility, go into Preferences > Print & Fax and do it from there. Worked for me. Good Luck.
REMOVE FILES
1. Double click on the MAC HARD DRIVE.
2. Double click on the LIBRARY folder.
3. Double click on the PRINTERS folder.
4. Drag the EPSON folder to the trash can.
5. Close any open windows.
6. Double click on the MAC HARD DRIVE.
7. Double click on the LIBRARY folder.
8. Double click on the RECEIPTS folder.
9. Delete any EPSON receipts.
10. Close all open windows and restart your computer.
REINSTALL THE EPSON DRIVER PACKAGE
1. Insert your Mac OS X 10.4 Install disc. Open CD when it appears on the
desktop.
2. Find and double-click on the Optional Installs.mpkg.
3. After the installer opens, choose the following custom install options:
-Check PRINTER DRIVERS and use arrow next to this entry to expand this
category.
-Check EPSON below the PRINTER DRIVERS heading. (You do not need to
install other manufacturer's packages.)
4. Click INSTALL (or UPGRADE) and follow prompts to reinstall the resident
Epson printer driver package. Remove the OS CD and then restart the
computer after installation is complete.
READD THE PRINTER
1. Go into HD > Applications > Utilities and open the Printer Setup
Utility. The PRINTER LIST window appears.
2. Highlight and delete any existing references to your Epson printer. (If
you want to be thorough and do not have any other printers on the Mac,
choose PRINTER SETUP UTILITY from the top of the screen and RESET PRINTING
SYSTEM. Confirm resetting the system. This clears any existing printer
entries and queues. If you have other printers on the Mac and use this
reset, you will need to readd them later.)
3. Turn the printer OFF and back ON to make the Mac redetect it and add it
to the list automatically. (Do not change the PRINT USING field. Selecting
EPSON here would add a GIMP Print driver which does not support all of the
functions of the resident Epson driver. Epson does not support or recommend
these third party drivers.)
4. If you have other printers on the list, make the Epson entry the
default.
5. Close the Printer Setup Utility and try a test print from any OS X-based
application.
*NOTE: If the printer does not show up on the list, it may mean a lack of
detection. Ensure the printer is online (no red error lights) and connected
directly to the Mac. Try moving the cable end to other USB ports, if need
be. If you have not done so already, you can also try resetting the Printer
Setup Utility, as described above.
If you are working with a printer model which supports borderless and/or
roll paper printing options, you will be able to select these options in
the program you are printing from as you set up your print job.
1. Once you have an image or file open, go to File > Page Setup.
2. For FORMAT FOR select the Epson printer name (rather than ANY PRINTER)
3. Select the appropriate Paper Size. If your printer supports different
layout features, each paper size will have several different options. For
example, the 4x6 paper size will have an arrow pointing right which offers
choices of 4x6 Borderless, 4x6 Standard-Minimize Margins, etc. Pick the
paper type plus layout/margin option you want to use here.
4. Click OK on Page Setup. You are now ready to print.

Epson Stylus Photo RX500

I am not able to add my printer in the printer set up utility & it doesn't show up when I go to print. I had it working for a few days, then all of a sudden it stopped working. I downloaded the 7-day trial version of the Fix A Mac printer repair program. It worked, but now it doesn't. I've also re-installed the printer. I have an Epson Stylus Photo RX500. What is going on? I recently upgraded my system to OS X 10.4.11. It worked in OS X 10.3.9, so it should work in 10.4.11.

Which driver did you download? It is important that you download a PPC (not Intel) driver.
Also I notice on the [Epson drivers download page|http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=26321&prodoid =37472317&BV_UseBVCookie=yes&infoType=Downloads&platform=Macintosh&x=37&y=6] there is a Smart Panel Patch v3.14A for PowerPC Macs with OS X (v10.3.5 - 10.4.x). If you haven't already tried this its worth installing.
Before doing this first delete the printer and reinstall once you have installed the patch.
