How to get epson stylus C45 to work on lion?

Hello.
On my old MacBook White I have Snow Leopard running and I use the Guteprint driver to get my Epson Stylus C45 working. Printing works just fine using that driver, I cannot though perform maintenance operations using this driver (such as checking the ink levels, cleaning the printer heads, etc).
This is fine by me, since when I need to perform those operations I end up booting a windows desktop to do that.
The problem is with my new MacBook Pro that runs Lion. The only epson printer options I find when looking for a driver are very general purpose and none work for my printer (e.g. Epson Stylus Color Series).
Googling for solution showed that there is a huge pack of epson drivers provided by Apple called EPSONPrinterDrivers2.8.dmg, which I'm downloading at this moment. Although I'll to give that a try, I already know that there is no specific support for C45 on this package. I'll try to use other models drivers that used to work on linux setups I had in the past.
In any case I have two questions:
Where can I find the Guteprint drivers I use on Snow Leopard so that I can use on Lion, if that is even possible?
Is there another workaround to get C45 working on Lion

The Epson printer drivers 2.8 do not contain a driver for the Epson Stylus C45.
The Gutenprint drivers are available at http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php. They still work find in Lion. There is a folder on the disk image that provides many access of the maintainence functions for Epson printers. Just drag the folder Gutenprint Utility for EPSON Inkjet Printers to your hard drive for future use. With this utility, you can run a nozzle check, clean the print heads, and align the print heads. Unfortunately you will not be able to check ink levels.

How to get imac 27 inch to work with asus triple mionitors to work through matro triple head 2 go

how to get imac 27 inch to work with asus triple mionitors to work through matro triple head 2 go

I think I got a little ahead of myself explaining my problem, so let me clarify...
Only the one iMac is having the network file deletion problem, but it is included in the network user logon problem. So 4 out of 5 of the iMacs have had or are having logon problems with network users accounts using mobile accounts on the systems. 2 of the 4 I have wiped and started over on and the other 2 have different network accounts being used by the primary system users. The 5th iMac has not caused any problems except I forgot to mention that the USB on it seems flaky.
So we are apparently full of problems.

I can't get my Epson Stylus SX438W to work. Has anyone had trouble finding the correct model when installing the driver?

I am having trouble completing the installation of my new Epson Stylus SX438W Wi-Fi printer. The printer is connected to my network and so is my Mac. I have put the Epson software disc in the Mac and followed the procedure to installing everything that is needed. I am stuck at a point that Epson have not been able to help with, and as advised to ask my router provider whether it does MAC filtering. It does not apparently. Then i have been advised to contact Apple. So that's where i am. The problem is that at the point where i have to add the printer to the printer list the correct model does not show in the provided list, so i hit the "more printers" tab. Not in here either. Epson have guided me through the installation of the latest driver and the prinnter still, does not show up in any lists. We have tried setting it up manually (i believe!, i am far, far from really knowing at all what i am doing). When trying to print a document from Microsoft word all that comes out is jargon on the sheets. Obviously not what i am after. I realise my description may be very unhelpful to you but i am REALLY stuck i don't know what to do now. Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. i have attached an image of the screen i have got to if that is of any help and i can get more screen shots etc. if anyone needs them!

OK, let's try these................
1 - Boot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu. When done, restart back to your desktop, repair permissions and restart your computer. Re-connect your printer.
2 - Download & install the Gimp drivers. Make sure the one you install is compatible w/your OS-Gutenprint 5.2.8-pre1. Repair permissions, restart your computer & re-connect your printer when done.
The Epson model I have, in order to get it to print wirelessly, I had to install a Gimp driver.
3 - Check out the following KB Articles:
Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Connecting to a network printer
Epson Printer Drivers v2.10 OS X
Adding a printer to your printer list in Mac OS X
Mac OS X 10.4 Help: The printer I'm adding says "Driver not installed"
======================
If still unsuccessful after trying all of the above, the problem could be your iBook or human error. You can either call Epson & ask to speak with a Mac savy supervisor or return the printer & find another that is compatible w/your current OS.

Why isn't my printer (epson stylus photo 820) working anymore??

HI,
I am having problems with my printer, an epson stylus photo 820. I have been using it for a long time, and suddenly for no reason, it refuses to print!
When I am trying to print something, in the stylus photo 820 dialogue box, it says "printing" under "status" but nothing happens for about 6-7 minutes. Then, the printer makes a noise and in the dialogue box it says "jobs stopped."
I have trying to reinstall the software that came with the printer, but it did not solve anything.
Thank you for your help.

You're Welcome highonthesound!
As I no longer have the Epson drivers installed, I'm not exactly sure how you can check which driver you currently are using.
If the procedure posted below doesn't work, the Epson may be dead. This worked for my Epson C86 whenever I encountered problems.
Change any C86 reference I may have missed editing, to your 820 model.
* Download the driver from Epson - 820, Printer Driver v1.8bAs
* Before moving the folder & files listed below, to a Temporary Epson Trash Folder, that you should create on the Desktop, open Printer Setup Utility, and delete the 820.
* Quit Printer Setup Utility
* Move the files (Posted in CAPITALIZED Italics), to the newly created Temporary Epson Trash Folder

I also had a Epson OS X booklet.pdf, that I had saved in my Documents folder. You will get a new one. After the installation, I replaced it. You may not have saved your original one. It's no big deal, there's really not much in it, In fact I don't remember the last time I opened it!
* Quit ALL running Applications
* Repair Permissions using Disk Utility in the Utilities folder
* Dig out your Epson 820 Start Here instruction quick sheet, for reference
* Unplug the USB cable from the Mac & then from the 820
* Re-attach the USB cable to the 820 & then to the Mac
* Turn on your 820
* Double click on: epson11518.sea.hqx to unzip (This may have a different name)
* Double click on: epson11518.sea to expand (As well as this one)
* Follow the prompts & instructions
* When the Vise installer opens in a window, double click it to start the install
* When the installation is complete, turn off the printer & restart your Mac.
* Repair Permisions again
* Turn on the 820
* Open Printer Setup Utility
* You have no printers available will appear. Click Add
* Select Epson USB in the contextual menu
* Click on Stylus 820 to highlight
* Add Page Setup: select All, from the contextual menu
* Click Add
* Quit Printer Setup Utility

Epson Stylus TX210 stopped working after Epson Printer Drivers 2.1 update.

Hi! I recently bought an Epson Stylus TX210 All-In-One printer. I installed the drivers and software bundled in the included CD and I used it without any problems for 2 days, until the I was prompted to download Epson Printer Drivers 2.1. After the installation, I noticed that whenever I wanted to print anything, the "Print" blue glowing button in the print dialogue won't do anything and no matter how many times I pressed it, it didn't continue the printing process. I've tried everything to solve the issue, but so far anything has worked properly.
Thing I've done:
-Trashed the EPSON folder in HD\Library\Printers
-Repaired permissions.
-Reset printing system.
-Reinstall the CD drivers.
-Redownload the Epson Printer Drivers 2.1.
-Delete bundled software.
I've tried every possible combination of the steps above, and so far here's the state of my printed:
-I can print a Test Page directly using Option and Supplies opftion under the Printer and Fax settings.
-Scanner works.
-The "Print" button is no longer stuck, but every attempt to print fails. The printing status reads: "Error: /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpll.app/Contents/MacOS /rastertoescpll failed"
-I'm printing by connecting the printer directly through the USB port.
Is there anything I can do? I would gladly appreciate any help!
Thanks in advance!

I would like to inform everyone that I've successfully solved my problem and now my printer works again!
The actual solution this this problem is a combination of various tips on this thread, but finally I found the exact steps and files needed.
1-If you installed drivers from the CD included in the printer, first uninstall them by opening each individual installer on the /Commons/ folder on the CD. After the installer prompts you for the password, select the "uninstall" option on the drop-down menu on the top left section of the window. Make sure you run the uninstall option -if possible- on all installers included on the CD.
2-Trash the HD\Library\Printers\EPSON folder and empty the Trash Can. There's going to be a couple of files being in use and you won't be able to delete them -yet-.
3-Reboot and disconnect your printer.
4-Empty the Trash Can again. The remaining files should be gone by now.
5-Go to System Preferences/Printer and Fax, right-click on the printer list and reset the printing system.
6-Go to http://www.epson.com.ph/epson/drivers/driver_download.htm?dc=1&mode=3&m=false&ca tid=4&pid=1473 and download the Epson Stylus TX210 Driver for Mac OS X. -Note: I tried multiple versions of the TX210 drivers found online and this particular version was the only one that worked. It's interesting that the this for both the SX210 and TX210, and the installers that only contained the TX210 drivers didn't work-. If for some reason the page changes, the name of the file you're looking for is SX210Series652EMP2.dmg
7-Run the installer.
8-Connect your printer and go to System Preferences/Printer and Fax. The printer should be recognized and ready to print.
Thanks everybody for all the support!

Sun Ray - How to get external USB Card Reader working

Dear All,
i have the following problem. Maybe someone could help me or give me a clue to solve it.
SunRay Software 5 installed
Window 2003 R2 TerminalServer
Here my question:
I use a kiosk session with a smart card to conncet to the windows server - works perfect.
Login Screen and go.
Now i have to have to authenticate myself with an external usb card reader and smart
card (connected to the sun ray) to use a certain application on my win2003 server.
Via the windows rdp session (from the laptops) everthing is ok. The information from
the card reader is transferred to the server.
If i use the Sun Ray nothing happens. So here is my problem:
How do get the authentication information from the smart card to the server?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Hans-Peter

Basically, reinstall the Boot Camp video drivers manually and if that doesn't work then go to the AMD/Radeon website and install the Windows drivers directly for your video card model.
If you want to do a search you will find others that have pretty good luck doing it either way.

How to get the FTP clients to work?

This is something that (to me at least) should be trivial but I just can't
get it to work at all.
How do you get an FTP client to work?
I've tried several GUI clients as well as the terminal FTP command and they
all seem to get stuck entering passive mode - according to the log entries
they send the command.... And then nothing or a timeout, the following is
from the terminal FTP command:
Titania:~ susan$ ftp ftp.apple.com
Trying 17.254.16.11...
Connected to ftp.apple.com.
220 17.254.16.11 FTP server ready

227 Entering Passive Mode (17,254,16,11,223,157).
200 PORT command successful
421 Service not available, remote server timed out. Connection closed
ftp>
In my System Preferences -> Network panel in the Proxies tab, I have the
"use Passive FTP mode (PASV) checked.
I also have checked the FTP firewall option (but I think that is only if I'm
acting as an FTP server).
I am connected to the internet via a Netgear wireless router.
I also have an old Windows laptop that also uses the same wireless router
and it can FTP quite happily!!!!!
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Susan

ejn - thanks for your continued assistance.
I've tried turning the firewall off but this does not appear to make any difference(*). Also, I have Parallels installed and I'm sharing the internet connection with this (even though Parallels itself is not currently running). Turning this sharing off doesn't seem to change anything either.
I have noticed some entries in the ifpw.log file that coincide with some of the ftp actions. Given the following terminal session:
Titania:~ susan$ ftp ftp.apple.com
Trying 17.254.16.10...
Connected to ftp.apple.com.
220 17.254.16.10 FTP server ready

200 PORT command successful

ftp>
at the time the "200 PORT command successful" is displayed, the ifpw log starts showing:
Sep 5 09:11:21 Titania ipfw: 12190 Deny TCP 17.254.16.10:20 192.168.0.5:49162 in via en1

which makes sense as the system tries to go for an active transfer.
(*) Actually, while I've been writing this, I've been playing on the terminal as well. I've found the combination of:
1) turning off the firewall
2) starting ftp
3) issuing the 'passive' command to turn off passive mode
4) issuing 'ls' etc. works
Looks like I've not been waiting long enough for the ftp client to get sick of trying the passive transfer and switching to an active one with the firewakk turned off!
Still doesn't answer the question - why does passive mode not work?

How to get the garbage collector to work?

Hi,
i have i program where i load an image scale it down and save the scaled version in an array. I do this for a whole directory of images.
After every image i set the temporary variable for the loaded image = null and call the function System.gc().
My problem is, that the garbage collector does�nt give the memory of the loaded image free and the used memory of my program grows with every loaded image.
/* Reads all images from a folder an stores them in an Array of images */
     public static BufferedImage[] readScaledImagesFromFolder(String folder,
               int maxSize) {
          File dir = new File(folder);     /* Open the Folder */
          String[] children = dir.list();          /* Get the children of the folder */
          if (children == null) {
             // Either dir does not exist or is not a directory
              System.out.println("No images in the folder!");
              return null;
         } else {
              /* Init array for images */
              BufferedImage[] images = new BufferedImage[children.length];
              int i = 0;
              int index = 0;
              BufferedImage temp;
              String filename, fileending;
             for (i=0; i<children.length; i++) {
                  // Get filename of file or directory
                 filename = children;
     /* Get the fileending of the file */
     fileending = filename.toLowerCase().substring(filename.length()-4);
     if(fileending.equals(".jpg") || fileending.equals(".bmp")
               || fileending.equals(".png") || fileending.equals(".gif"))
          /* Read the image */
          temp = util.ImageUtils.loadBufferedImage(folder+"/"+filename);
          /* Scale the image down and save it in an array */
          images[index] = Util.getScaledImage(temp,maxSize);
          index++;
     temp = null;
     System.gc();
     Mosaic.sourceImageNum = index;
     System.out.println((index+1)+" resized pictures loaded from folder: "+folder);
     return images;
How can i get the gargabe collector to work after every iteration?
I tried to let the Thread.sleep(10) after System.gc() but it does�nt help.
Thank you every much
JackNeil

Hm yes.. i now that System.gc() is only a
suggestion.
But i know what my program is doing and that it
does�nt need the temporary image anymore after i have
a scaled down version. And the temporay image will become unreachable as soon as reading the next one overwrites your temp variable. Setting the variable to null doesn't have much effect.
It would be smarter to load the new image over the
old temporary image and not to expand the heapsize to
maximum.Then look at the possibitly of loading the next image into the same bufferedimage.
