I cannot print to my Epson Stylus 2200 printer.

All of a sudden I cannot print to my Epson Sylus 2200 Printer. I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have been using the Epson driver 9.0. I have checked for software dates and there are none. I have unplugged and replugged. I then tried to delete my printer in the printer list and tried to re-add it and a dialogue box came us and says Can’t install the software for the Epson Stylus Photo 2200 because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.

In Aperture 2 I could set a print quality of "high" or similar, I don't see such a choice in Aperture 3. I'm using an Epson Stylus 2200. Is there such a choice?

In Aperture 2 I could set a print quality of "high" when printing photos on an Epson 2200. Now I'm using Aperture 3 with the same printer. I don't see a similar choice and I'm getting banding issues on the prints. The photos print much too fast. How do I correct this?

Thanks for the input!
Restarting the computer was the obvious first thing to try, but had no effect.
I have over 2GB free memory and still experiencing the issue.
It does take a few seconds to load the Live View for the first time, but that's not my problem. My problem is that with Live View already loaded, it takes over 30 seconds after saving changes to the php file before I can see the changes in the Live View (I'm clicking the refresh button once a second, and on the thirty something time I'll finally see my changes).
With "Preview Using Temporary Files" turned off, I get the behavior I've been describing.
Turning "Preview Using Temporary Files" on does actually mitigate the issue for me, though, so thank you for that suggestion!
     - I can see changes in my Live View instantly after saving and clicking the refresh button.
     - I can see changes using Preview in Browser instantly too... but the browsers refresh button has no effect (which makes sense since the temporary file it's looking at hasn't changed).
     - I can actually get some work done now.
However, I still feel that I should be able see my changes in Live View immediately after saving and clicking the refresh button without using "Preview Using Temporary Files", and I'd like to be able to leave the page open in my browser and just click the browser's refresh button to see my recently saved changes instantly.
So Long Story Short:
     Using "Preview Using Temporary Files" has definitely helped!
     But I still have no way to see my changes immediately without using temporary files, so something still seems fishy.

Epson Stylus Photo PX710W is not compatible with Mavericks

I still cannot scan with my Epson Stylus Photo PX710W. My scan driver (scan.app version 3.7.1) is not compatible with Mavericks. Who can help me?
Epson does not react to my question when the correct driver will be available.
Epson indicate to their FAQ’s, but this is will not help since the ICA scan only works when my printer/scanner is connected to my Mac via USB. I bought this EPSON printer/scanner because it was wireless. Now after just 3 years I miss this important option.
I see a lot of discussion about Epson scan drivers but little help from Epson
Who can lead me to an appropriate scan driver for my Epson device?

I disagree a bit because my Epson printer/scanner worked very well for over 3 years. It worked under Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion. But since I installed Mavericks my scanner doesn't work anymore. It's just a case that Epson is very slow in upgrading the drivers within an appropriate time on the one hand and not giving any foresight how long it takes to repair drivers on the other hand. Their website is inadequate and gives me absolute no information at all. I can understand their vision when it comes to printer/scanners which are very old i.e 10 years and mor. But not for relatively new printer/scanners.
So, if anybody can help i'll be very greatefull.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here and do not speak for "Apple Inc."
Some basic printer troubleshooting steps before worrying about a printer driver:
1. Have you tried turning the printer off and back on?
2A. Is the printer attached with a cable?
     If yes, have you tried unplugging and re-plugging both ends of the printer cable?
     If that does not help, can you test the printer with another cable?
2B. If your printer is not connected to the computer with a cable, have you tried restarting your printer (assuming wireless connection)?
     Have you tried restarting your wireless router?
3. Have you tried restarting your MacBook? (Be sure to save your work first.)
4. Does the printer have ink? (Doesn't usually generate a 'communications error' though)
5. Have you updated OS X or the program you're trying to print from recently?

Have you tried restarting the printer? Reboot the iPad as well.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

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.

Printer ICM Epson Photo Stylus 2200

New computer with Window 8 64 bit. Installed Epson Stylus Photo 2200 printer. Download windows 8 driver update epson15163.exe with stylus driver v5.93. After setting Photoshop manages color for printing, subsequently in advanced tab, highlighting ICM causes error message:" Printer driver host for application has stopped working." Any resolution available? Can only print image by allowing printer to manage color.

I think I found a work around. I am also having this problem. I went to Control Panel > View Devices and Printers > Select the Epson 2200 Printer Properties *NOT PREFERENCES* (right click will get you a menu to select this) > Advanced > Printing Defaults > click ICM > click No Color Adjustment > select the other details for the print job > click Save Setting > give the setting a name and click save > NOW, go to the print settings from printing out of photoshop and apply the saved setting you just created and it should change to have both "ICM" and "No Color Adjustment" clicked.
I've been looking every where for a fix, explaination or work around to this and I haven't found anything. I think this is a Windows 8 64-bit problem...but it could just be us, too. Let me know if this worked for you!
I'm working with WIndows 8 64-bit, running Adobe Photoshop CS2.

Cannot add Epson stylus photo 1400 to printer list

Hi,
I just unpacked my new printer, however I don't seem to be able to install it properly. I have tried both the the driver from the website as well as the one that came with it on CD. First, installing seems to go smoothly. Then I get to a screen telling me that before I can print I will have to add it to the printer list. The next screen gives me the printer list with the Epson Stylus's name on it. However, clicking on it I am not able to select the proper device name. It just doesn't appear on the list. (click here for a screenshot: http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/8601/bild15zy6.png ) Finally, the Epson driver installation app tells me that my printer "has not been added to the printer list" and that I should better go back and try again. "Running a printer check" actually makes it draw paper in but doesn't print anyhow.
Could someone help me with this?
Thanks a lot.

I now managed to install my printer. To state my problem first, so people don't have to read the whole thread again:
My printer (this should be printer model independent) is connected directly via USB to my macbook. When I tried to add it to my printer list, I recieved the message "Error: -9672, An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer"
As I gathered from the forums, this points to missing rights during installation. In a lucky guess, I logged onto my computer not with my usual account but with the admin account and from there I could install it without any problems!
That is a bit strange as I should have been able to assign admin rights via entering the password from my usual account, but there you go. Strange are the ways of Apple (as with my most favourite mac problem/solution of all times: when you use the password reset feature from the install DVD, it uses an english keyboard layout, but in the standard log-in window it uses whatever the locale is set to, thus e.g. mixing z und y in German layout amongst others. This small misunderstanding cost me hours over christmas! Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone has similar trouble)
I hope this helps,
Otto

EPSON Stylus CX4800 - cannot print at all

I followed these directions (http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supAdvice.jsp?type=highlights&noteoid =94207) and installed the printer software but that didn't work. when I select printer preferences, it still says Epson Stylus CX8400 - Gutenprint v5.1.3. I've tried deleting the printer off the list and re-adding it. no luck.

John,
Thanks for the reply. In regards to deleting the entire Printers folder, I haven't done that, but I have deleted the Printers/Epson folder before installing the Epson drivers again. This was one of the steps Epson recommended in uninstalling existing drivers. I have done this, and it had no effect. I'm fine to delete the Epson folder -- however I'm not real crazy about deleting everything else: first, because I have another printer (HP), and second, because I don't really want to nuke my other drivers I may need in the future -- it doesn't seem to make sense that deleting other non-Epson printer drivers would have an effect here.
As for the Print Module in LR, all paper/profiles installed by the Epson driver installed show as selected when accessing them through the "Other..." selection.

Hi
1. Click on the Apple logo at the top left corner of the screen and select System Preferences.
2. Click on Printers and Scanners pane.
3. You need to highlight your printer on the left hand side and remove it from the list by clicking on little "-" button
4. Click on little "+" button and add it back.

Epson Stylus CX9400 - Cannot print in black ink only

I cannot print in black ink only on my CX9400 printer. My OS is Windows 7. I've never had this problem before, and it only happens with pdf documents. Please adivse me how to correct this problem. Thank you.

Dear user BVILLE22,
In 10.1.2, we have intentionally removed the option 'Print color as Black' from the print dialog due to its incorrect behaviour of converting all text to black. The correct one is to print it as Grayscale and for doing so, you can follow the two below mentioned methods:
Method 1:
1. Select your printer and click on its properties button.
2. Search for option 'Print in Grayscale', which is provided at different location for different printers. One I am attaching for reference is under 'Color' tab of printer properties
3. Click ok and then print.
Method 2:
1. Select your printer.
2. click on Advance button.
3.Select Color management section -> 'Working Gray' as color profile.
4. click ok and then print.
Hope this will solve your problem.
Regards

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.

Paul

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

Print quality on Epson Stylus Photo R800

Hi...
I'm using Lightroom 3.6 and an Epson Stylus Photo R800. This printer is capable of printing very high quality pictures, as I know by using it for almost 5 years.
I have bought Lightroom about 6 month ago. I have tried anything I can think off to get those fabulus pictures out of my Epson printer. I alterd color managment settings, changed print resolutions, downloaded new printerdriver, ... Nothing works. Print quality when printing from Lightroom is very poor. Bad colors (dark), stripes over the whole image, it looks like nothing realy.
One of the things that I noticed is that the maximum resolution for printing in LR is 720 ppi. My Epson is capable of 1550 ppi.
I see a lot of discussion going about print quality with lightroom... I think however this is a more basic problem. My print qualiti is realy very very bad...
Does anyone have similar problems or (even better) a hint to a solution?
Note,
When I export a picture to .jpg format (I shoot in RAW only), and print this directly from Windows, I do get the perfect picture a was used to... I cannot believe that Lightroom is unable to do the same.
Thanks!
Erik.

Sorry for calling you 'Frank' Frans...
