Epson wireless multifunction printer/scanner

Hi
I'm looking at getting an Epson DX9400f wireless device for the printing and scanning.
Does anybody have experience on running a scanner through wireless on (Arch)Linux?? I imaging there will be issues unless you can install the "official" drivers which I believe can be found on the Avasys site.
Any comments appreciated (including suggestions for alternatives)

Well, I'll be damned! Guess I'll quite trying to figure out how to scan on my multifunction HP printer. I thought that would be so cool to do that via the USB port on my Airport Extreme. I guess I should say thanks for ending my search for the answer. Back to the Ethernet.

I am looking for a multifunction printer, scanner, copier that is seriously easy to use for my very un tech savvy father. Must have AirPrint. Any suggestions?

Multifunction Printer/Scanner/FAX machines and FAXing from the desktop.

I've got a Canon MP530 thanks to an Apple Bundle and after a lot of gyrations, it has come down to be that neither I, Canon, nor Apple can make this unit send or recieve FAXs from the desktop!
Apple seems to be "stunned" (better word than "clueless") about this lack of functionality. Canon's response is (literally) "Buy a PC."
I know I can do software that will let me FAX but but that is not an option at this point. I've got four machines who all can plug into the same printer/scanner/unit and there's no reason that this machine shouldn't be able to send a FAX for me.
So, I'm here posting this message wondering if anyone has purchased an "All-in-one" unit (preferably part of an Apple bundle) that supports printing from the computer, scanning to the computer, and FAXing to and from the computer and that they've actually used (themselves) and seen work.

Yes absolutely. I set it up last Fall and have been using it until last week, at whick time I lost wireless connectivity with router for no reason at all. I can not remember how to do it now and I am looking for the answer myself.
This link to an online chat on www.hp.com with a tech might help you.

I unfortunately upgraded my browser to IE8 last week and the chat support online does not support that browser. If you get an answer, I would appreciate it if you would post the answer on this thread so that I can re-learn it myself. Thanks. Good Luck.

Recommendations for best wireless multifunction printer for Macs $100?

Anyone with recommendations for best wireless MFP for Macs <$100. Would like to be able to print photos too. Need EASY set up. Prefer two paper cartridges. Would like to be able to print from iPad, iPhone, Laptop and Mac. Also need to fax.
Oh...and need to buy it tomorrow. Help appreciated.

Hard to say, we all like different flavors.
If you have had a good experence with say your old Epson like I have, then that's the flavor that I will most likely stick with.

Hp psc 500 multifunction printer/scanner

I changeed my PC and the new one has not any paralell port, only USB ports.
There is a pralell-USP adapter or converter that works with my printer ?
What solution do you recommend?

Hi, buddy,
don't waste your time
legacy devices are dated
recently i also had a psc500 from my friend
(to him, that psc500 is a trash. he bought a new model recently.)
my laptop/ notebook doesn't have a onboard parallel interface (LPT)
i have two devices on hand, i.e. (1) usb-to-parallel cable; (2) pcmcia-parallel cardbus
first of all, you should have had the knowledge that XP has a tighter control over port I/O address remapping at driver level, that is to say, you can't have adapters assigned to legacy I/O addresses (LPT1=0x378, LPT2=0x278, LPT3=03BC). But this is possible in windows 98.
The scenario now is that you won't find a usb-to-pareallel cable that is shipped with a driver for XP, but one for 98 is always available and thus I/O address remapping is made possible. With this cable, a usb-parallel LPT port is created and I/O address remapping is activated. Thus, psc500 prints and scans perfectly well in 98. i guess that pcmcia thing will also work fine in 98. Obviously, you don't need that pcmcia thing since a usb-parallel cable has been doing the job well.
Now, let's move onto the case with xp:
- as that usb-parallel cable is not shipped with a driver for xp, you have nothing to do but to reply on xp's plug and play.
xp's plug and play only gives a something usb printing support device driver.
it only acts as a passing through (connection simulation) and neither LPT nor I/O address are simulated.
thus, psc500 only prints but won't scan.
- as the case with that pcmcia thing:
http://i3.6.cn/cvbnm/2a/12/a5/8db549119c08d9a462c2503174e9b723.jpg
it is shipped with drivers for 98 and xp
supports for both LPT and I/O address are given by the driver
but as i said above, I/O address remapping is not allowed at driver level in xp
thus, as shown in the screenshot, every piece of hardware and its relevant driver/ system file has been installed and are reported working properly.
but the entry "HP psc 500 scanner" won't move itself into the device category "Imaging Device", so psc500 still won't scan.
after all, i don't know why.
i still believe that the restriction on I/O address remapping causes the hiccup.
Hope this helps
anyway, forget that legacy device ... it is dated!

T-Mobile/Linksys WRTU54G router and Epson wireless NX515 Printer - cannot print

I have a WRTU54G router setup and working fine for wired and wireless internet connectvity; printing however only works from my wired PC. I am unable to print from from any of the wireless connected PCs to the wireless printer. The printer is setup for wireless printing only (no cable connected).
I had this setup working with no issues prior using an ATT router.
My guess is an issue with a security setting on the router itself. Any ideas? Thanks.

Are you able to go online wirelessly from the wireless computer...?
Go to the linksys GUI and check all the wireless settings on the router including the wireless security and try to connect the wireless printer again to the wireless network.

Help scanning wirelessly from printer/scanner to laptop

My is macbook running mac os x 10.5.8 .. my printer (canon mp480 series) is connected to my router (airport extreme base station 802.11g) ..
While I have been able to successfully print wirelessly I am unable to scan images from my printer to my laptop .. Help

Maje sure you have the latest version of the MP Navigator Ex V2.0.6, located here.

I have an Epson NX420 printer/scanner, and I keep getting a message on the scanner, saying that there is a communication error, check the connection. I am not having any luck scanning my pictures into the computer.

I have an Epson Nx 420/printer/scanner, and I keep getting a message that says there is a communication error. Check the connection [W-61}. I have the snow leopard operating system Mac OS X 10.6.8 I want to scan my pictures into iphoto. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong. Thankyou.

Make sure you have updated all of your scanner drivers. Check Software update and check with Epson tech support.
Not sure if the Gutenprint and Gimp-Print for Mac OS X (10.2 and later) drivers deal with scanners. Read the info on their website.
Check Apple's Knowledge Base for Snow Leopard & Lion Printer solutions and suggestions for scanner troubleshooting. Especially if you have an all in one.

Can't scan from Lexmark multifunction printer - firewall issue?

Hi there!
I got a Lexmark printer/scanner combo which used to work fine on my arch install. However, its mobo died, so now I'm back at another install which refuses to scan. Scanning is done through the browser via a java applet residing on the printer's webserver. The applet does start (so it's not a java issue), but refuses to receive data from the scanner. Within the printer's web interface, it reads
If using Windows XP, the Windows XP personal firewall must be disabled before using Scan to PC profiles.
, so I'm assuming it might be a firewall issue. Lexmark's website provides the following advice:
The following two command lines will open the port 5353 for incoming and outgoing connections:
iptables -I INPUT -p udp -m udp --sport 5353 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I OUTPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 5353 -j ACCEPT
NOTE: These steps will work on most distributions configured with IPTABLES. There is no common command to make these rules persistent.
As I don't know anything about IP tables, I've simply copied these commands (as root, obviously). Still, I can't scan.
So, my questions are:
1. Has anybody else ever come across an issue like this?
2. I don't even know for sure, whether this is a firewall issue - What iptabled magic would I need to temporarily disable the firewall to check?
3. I tried checking my rules by "iptables -L". How can I tell "iptables -L" to specify the ports it is working on (as I did in the commands copied from lexmark's website)?
Best wishes,
Rufus

Hi Bob
I believe so. We put the install disc into this mac back when we bought it to set up the printer. I'm assuming the scanning drivers were there as well since it's a multifunctional printer/scanner/fax wireless printer.
We've tried it both ways. If I press the button scan on the printer, it reads can't find computer (or something like that). When we go thru the HP icon on my computer screen and choose scan to computer, it does nothing.
We don't scan that often. So the few times when we ran into this problem, we just did something else (like take a pic from our iPhone and email the pic...kinda stupid but did the trick.
But I want to have the function of the scanner available. So that's why I'm here asking...thought others had this issue and had a solution.

Any OS X Compatible Multifunction Print Servers?

Hi all,
I hope this is the correct place to post this, but after an extensive search with little results I had hoped somebody from these forums would be knowledgable enough to answer my question. I'd purchased an Epson RX595 multifunction printer before incorporating Apple products into my network, so when I'd purchased my MBP and Time Capsule for backup, I had no idea that the print server on the Apple Base Stations (and most wireless routers with print servers) only support printing and not the advanced features such as scanning. Now I've seen a few USB multifunction print servers online, but going through the spec sheets and reviews, hardly any of them seem to work with OS X. Does anybody know of such a server that works with OS X? I'd really rather not have to buy a new ethernet printer if I can avoid it. Thanks in advance for all the help.

Multifunction Printer/Scanners and Airport

Does anyone know if Apple is working on an update to allow use of the scanner function of multifunction printer/scanners via Airport Extreme?
Having just bought a new multifunction printer/scanner to find the scanner can not be used via my airport extreme is a bit dissapointing. Even the new version does not have the ability, strange seeming apple has been able to develope and release a mobile phone.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

One strange thing, my iMac core duo recognised channel 13, while the same machine's Boot Camp XP cannot recognised the signal. I tried the Window's Airport Utility and Window's Wireless Network, both cannot get the signal(and the SSID name did not show up). But worked right after I set the channel to 9 in the OX mode.
Can anyone kndly explain to me?
Your question doesn't have anything to do with this thread.
Finally I figured the problem was the Extreme auto set channnel to 13 but my HP only support up to channel 11.
The OP was connecting a all-in-one device to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). The OP was not using a wireless connection like you are.
Since this thread is marked as answered and is not similar to your question, I suggest that you start a new thread to ensure that your question gets the visibility and hopefully the responses that you want.

Printing help. My Epson wireless printer won't print. Airport seems OK. I get the following message.../Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Cont ents/MacOS/rastertoescpII failed. What am I missing?

I can't get my Epson wireless printer to print. All seems well. Turned on and off. Green lights abound. My computer seems to see the printer.
Error message as follows:

Can anyone help?
Thanks

You did not tell us how you installed the printer so it's a little tough to troubleshoot. Please carefully look over Printing Overview OS X Lion for instructions on how to add a printer. Also look on Printer and scanner software for Snow Leopard & Lion to see if your printer is compatible with OS X.
Finally PLEASE update your profile using the Profile Update link.

I have a new Epson wireless printer connected and the iPad recognizes it but it won't print. What is AirPrint and how do I connect it?

I have a new Epson wireless printer connected and the iPad recognizes it but it still won't print. What is AirPrint & how do I connect to it?

Patti-
Is your Epson printer on Apple's list of AirPrint capable printers? See <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356>.
If it is an AirPrint printer, then your WiFi router may not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint. Contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change to its setup or a firmware update, that will make it work.
One other possibility is that there could be a print job stuck in the iPad's print queue. Double click the iPad's Home button and a row of recent Apps will appear along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and see if the Print Center is there.
