Epson stylus r300 not printing

After installing a recent Epson printer update through the app store, my printer causes an error log to be sent to Apple each and every time I attempt to print. This adds to my woes in that my Epson perfection 1250 scanner also refuses to work after a recent update. I've tried to update through the app store update facility, but no updates are available. This is getting me down a little as I really like my new 27" imac, but without a printer it's almost useless. What's going on with these updates? Can I restore to earlier drivers? Epson web site suggests no - rather that any update must be installed through the app store. I've also tried repairing permissions which appeared to fix some printer issues according to the log, but didn't solve my problem.
Thanks

Step 1
Open the Sharing pane in System Preferences. If the Computer Name is not set, enter a name. You may first have to click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings.

Step 2
If there's no improvement after Step 1, restore the following folder from the last backup you made before the EPSON update:
/Library/Printers/EPSON
You may have to reset the printing system for the change to become effective.

    Hi Everybody,
    I use an Epson Stylus Office BX320FW printer with my IMac.  Since upgrading OSX, I have lost the ability to print and scan.  I have downloaded printer drivers from both Epson and Apple.  I am using the printer in wifi mode but can not get it print or scan.  How do I uninstall the Epson software and start all over again?

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee
    Cheers, Gerd

  • Bought a new Mac Pro, purchased a Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter, then hooked up Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer but the system preferences does not see the printer. Started, restarted, hit the " " to add a  printer but no go.

    How to connect via Firewire/Thunderbolt adapter an Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer to a new Mac Pro

    When you switch from USB to FireWire, you have essentially installed a new (i.e., different) Printer.
    In the Add-a-Printer dialog, delete[-] the existing Printer queue which is set up for USB. Then, with the Printer connected via FireWire, Add [+] a new Printer queue and it should set it up correctly this time.
    To go back to USB, you would have to delete and re-add in a similar fashion later.

  • Photoshop CS6 on a Mac using an Epson Stylus PRO 3800 printer.

    Installed Photoshop CS6 on a Mac Version 10.9.4. Installed an Epson Stylus PRO 3800 printer. When I try to print through Photoshop the dialogue box won't give the option to color manage. I followed the link suggested in the print dialogue box but that was for CS5 and said it will only work with TIFF files. I work with .psd files. I downloaded it but my Mac will not let me open it. Any help would be most appreciated. Mary Ellen

    From Chris Cox: If you choose "Photoshop manages color", then Photoshop is managing the color and the printer driver is supposed to disable it's color controls (and let Photoshop manage the color).
    If Photoshop is managing the color, then there is nothing else for the printer driver to do - so it grays out it's own color controls because they don't apply while Photoshop is managing the color.

  • How can I connect the ipad2 to an Epson Stylus SX445W wifi printer?

    How can I connect the ipad2 to an Epson Stylus SX445W wifi printer?
    Any help appreciated. Obviously I'm not technically minded so simple... Sorry... Very simple instructions would be great. Thanks

    Does the iPad come up with a "no AirPrint printers found" message? If so, the most common fault is that the printer isn't on the same WiFi network as the iPad. Your printer may also need a firmware update. Epson has some support information here that may be of help:

  • Problem printing from cs6 photoshop to epson stylus pro 4800 printer

    Has anyone had trouble printing from cs6 on a mac running lion to a epson stylus pro 4800 printer?   I keep getting an error message saying  "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.""   The computer sees the printer just fine and has the latest driver installed. I have removed it and reinstalled it many times . I need help with this.

    Yes, the menu items are not unavailable. We were already aware of the "Reveal Arrow" issue under OSX v10.5.3. The most important print menu items such as "Print Settings" and "Color Management" are simply not present. As previously stated we've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the latest (v3.66) "Universal" print driver on both hosts and all of our client Macs. A resolution to this problem is very urgent as our semester begins this week and currently students can not print their next week assignments.

  • Epson Stylus r360 issues printing in Leopard via Airport Extreme & Bonjour

    I hope I am not duplicating any posts, have searched but have not found a similar problem.
    I have an Epson Stylus Photo R360 printer connected to my Airport extreme via USB sharing the resource around the house via Bonjour to all my Mac's.
    Problem is it works fine under Tiger but the 2 Mac's that have been upgraded to Leopard 10.5 no longer print. It discovers the printer and loads in the printer configuration window ok, drivers are found and the printer looks good to go.
    However, when you try and print, after about a minute an error appears on the printer in Leopard with an exclamation mark and is unable to continue.
    If you hook up the printer directly to any Mac running leopard, it works fine!
    Anyone else having this problem? Is this something Apple has changed in Bonjour or maybe printer drivers problem via Bonjour?
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I found a fix for the problem of not being able to print from a printer connected to an Airport Extreme.
    I had similar issues with my Canon iP4200, which was connected to an Airport Extreme. Printing worked fine with Tiger, but Leopard has somehow corrupted the feature. Printing is now very sporadic, at best - and will stop a few seconds into the printing and hang. My solution was to hook the printer directly up to the main (host computer). Go into System Preferences > Sharing, and make sure you've selected 'printer sharing'. Then go into the Sys Pref for "Printing/Fax", and remove your current printer (which was accessed via Bonjour on your Extreme) - you can leave it if you like, just make sure that when you add the new one, that you make it the default. Once set, make sure that you check the box labeled 'Share this Printer'. You will also now notice that the printer's location has changed to your host computer's name. You will now be able to print from your main computer without a hitch. Now access the System Pref>Printer/Fax from any other wired or wireless computer on your network. Add a new printer, a new choice will appear on your list, which will list the printer name with the "@" symbol, followed by your host computer's name. Select that, and let it do it's auto driver check, then click 'add'.
    You will now be able to print from any of your computer's on the network. Best of luck.

  • Using Lightroom for Windows 8.1 with Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer.

    Using Lightroom for Windows 8.1 with Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer.  From PRINT section, if I click either "Page Setup" or "Printer" I get the Epson printer dialog box, drill down, change settings- so far so good.  When I'm finished with the settings and close the dialog box (hit OK) the print job starts immediately; I never get a chance to hit the Lightroom "Print" button.  Question: does this bypass any Lightroom processing or control of the print job?

    Even if I just click the Printer button to verify my settings I should then return to Lightroom, and then click Print to start the job.  This does not happen, the job starts as soon as I close the properties dialog box.  Again, is any Lightroom processing or control being bypassed because of this?

    Try installing the Epson drivers from here:

    and then seeing if adding and printing with USB works.
    This site really works and my computer is now printing.

    Read the user manual that came w/the printer/scanner, contact Epson to see if you need to update your scanner drivers to work in Mavericks also check Software Update.  Check out the following links:

  • How do i install epson stylus NX420 series printer

    I was given Epson Stylus NX420 3 in 1 printer with my MacBook Pro and would like to set it up but when I insert the disc it comes out.  How do I go about downloading the disc to set up the printer?  Wireless.

    Hi Maryann..
    You can also download the drivers (software) from the Epson site here.
    The drivers on the disc may not be up to date, so downloading from Espon assures you have the lastest driver version.
    Once the drivers are installed, open System Preferences > Print & Scan then select the Print tab.
    Click + to add a new printer and follow the instructions.
