I want to share my epson printer over the wifi

I have a Apple mac and currently my Epson deskjet printer is connected to it via usb cable.
My wife and I both have Windows XP laptops and I would like to know if it is possible to send word documents to the printer over the home wifi network.
This would save having to take the usb connector out of the imac and plug it into the laptop, also the imac drives the Epson so much better than the HP laptop my wife uses.
If this is possible could someone give me a link to a guide or jot down a step by step here please.
Then just to be brave is it possible to print documents directly from my iphone for super braveness, my wife's blackberry.

Here is an article on Air Print:

Note that it only works with certain airprint enabled printers and only certain devices.
As for the wireless printing, check your Epson's manual (either in your box or available at the Epson support site); there are certain steps that need to be followed to set it up - on mine, one of the first ones was to copy the Epson's MAC address from the setup window on the LCD panel and enter that in the router's setup website (they may ave changed that now, hence my suggestion to look at the manual for your model).

Brother dcp 9040 cn not printing over airport wifi

i am unsure if this is a 10.6.3 upgrade issue
i have a brother dcp 9040 cn which i have been using for the past year very happily over the wifi airport network.
it has stopped printing over the wifi
it works fine with the usb connection
it appears fine with bonjour & selects ok except when i print over the wifi it tries to connect but never does and then always pauses.
i have upgraded the firmware on the printer from the brother site and have loaded the latest drivers from brother for osx
has anyone got any suggestions?
thanks

10.6.3 came with the latest drivers for your printer.
Try resetting the printing system.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/14001.html
Don't install any print software.
See if your Mac sees that printer.
If so, select it and see if you can print.

Printing to a printer over the internet - someone please verify

My mission was to be able to print to my Home Xerox 6300N printer behind a firewall from anywhere using the internet as my connection. I used LDP as my protocol - could not seem to get anything else to work.
My Gateway is a static address using a DSL connection. I have 2 ethernet cards. 1 for the internet and 1 for the localnet.
I am running OS X 10.4.6 and have Flying Buttress as my Firewall.
I have IP share turned on.
I opened port 515 for LDP in Flying Buttress. In Flying Buttress, I allowed port 515 to point to the IP address of the printer.
From work I opened the Printer Set-up Utility and selected Add. From there I held down the Option key and clicked on More Printers at the bottom.
I was now in the Advanced section and selected LDP as my protocol.
I named the Device Name: Xerox
The Device URL would be lpd://<gateway ip address>:515
I then selected the driver for the printer and clicked Add.
So I printed from work and had my wife check the printer to see if anything happened. And YES IT DID!!!
So there you have it - I am now able to print to my Xerox. I hope this helps anyone who wants to do the same thing.
Now the next thing I need to figure out is how to print to my HP 5000N printer. Since I already used port 515 and mapped it to the Xerox, I need to figure out what port I can use for the HP printer. I guess I need to figure out what protocol the HP 5000N will accept.

OK - I will answer my own question. I just figured it out. Actually I posted this once before but since forgot how I did it and the post was archived or deleted from this forum.
Anyways, to print from my work printer over the internet to my printer in my office, I did the following...
1. In printer set-up, I selected LPD
2. In the address I entered my static IP address of my home's gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:515
where 515 is the port for LPD
3. I named the printer Home Printer
4. Set up the printer (Xerox) and selected the correct driver.
5. Made sure the port (515) was open on my gateway @ home and directed that port to the IP address of the printer. I use Flying Buttress as my firewall.

I am trying to print a jpg, centered on the page, to epson printer and the printed image is off center, does anyone have a sense about setting to check?

right click a blank area of the toolbar, click Customize. You'll see the printer icon there. Drag and drop it to where you want.
You can also find this option under View -> Toolbars -> Customize.

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop is running the network, and my wife's HP Win 7 laptop prints to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I do have the latest driver installed. I didn't have a problem when I had a Canon Pixma on the network, but when I replaced it with the Epson nothing seems to work. I go to add a printer to the queue and only the FAX function of the printer shows up - not the WS-4530 print function. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Please??? :-)

Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
Start with the section titled Check the network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely,

Airport won't print over the network

I have a basic HP Photosmart C4200 series printer. It works fine when I plug it directly into my computer but when I plug it into the router, it won't print and this message comes up : "Unable to read response header - short read"
When I delete/add the printer from Preferences, it finds the printer and establishes connection but when I try to print over the network, it gives me that error message.
A weird thing I found was that when connected to the airport, my printer shows up under the iDisks tab under the Airport Utilities instead of being in the Printers tab...

Welcome to the discussions!
A number of entry level printers are designed so that they will only work when they are connected directly to a computer, so that may possibly explain your problem.
To verify, you can work your way through Apple's troubleshooting guide to see if this is the case. If you've completed all the steps and still can't print, I think you have your answer.

Where can I get an EPSON printer for the original iMac?

Where can I get an EPSON printer for the original iMac?

You should look for an Epson Stylus Color 740 or the higher-end 900 or 980, which are about 12 years old now. All have USB connectivity, and while the 900/980 is a better/faster printer, it's harder to find the ink tanks for it at the usual office supply stores. Ink tanks for the 740 series seem to be more readily available, without a special order. There were Mac versions of these printers (the 740i and 900i), with blue/ice housings that were color-keyed to match the fruit-colored "blueberry" iMac and Blue & White G3 mini-tower. There was no Epson printer that was color-keyed to the original Bondi Blue iMacs.

I’m using an iMac running Os X Yosemite, Photoshop CS5 Extended, R2880 Epson printer In the Print Settings dialog box, I can’t select Color, Advanced BW or Grayscale unless I select “Printer Manages Color”. The pull down menu is grayed out. Even with “printer manages color” the tif or jpg image comes out in color overlaid with black. (See example - printer1. image on left is close to what it should be). Photoshop has no updates pending. I’ve downloaded the latest Epson driver which was working fine just before the problem occurred

Is your Photoshop CS5 updated to 12.1?
Are you on Yosemite 10.10.1 or Yosemite 10.10.2?
Did you apply the recent Epson software 2.1.9 update?
What type of file is it (file format)? What bit depth and what color space?

Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.

HT3669 Latest Mac OS Update Driver for Canon 9500 Pro causes text lines all to be printed over the first letter of the line?

Anyone know how I can 'fix' the Mac OS printer driver for the Canon 9500 Pro - all my text lines end up with the whole line being printed over the first character of the line of text when printing PDFs. It has ruined a lot of work.

I'd try this:
Delete the current printer (reset the print system) Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
Delete all other Canon software and utilities from your computer.
Do a factory reset on your printer
Use Software Update to download the driver from Apple.
Don't reinstall any other Canon Utilities.
Make sure you don't have something mechanical stopping the paper from advancing.
If the problem is really the driver, then you could look in Gutenprint for a different driver. Gutenprint for Mac OS X

I cant print over my wifi network with Yosemite

Hi, I've just installed OS X 10.10 on my Macbook Pro and my wife's Macbook Air and we've lost our printers on the wifi network. Internet seems to be working fine over the wifi (120 mb/s) and if i plug the computers in to the LAN connections on the router then I can see the printers OK and printing is fine. Any ideas?Thanks

Access Denied error when trying to print over the network

I just upgraded my Internet service and leased a new modem. My laptop is connected to the network and is able to browse the Internet. I have file and printer shared tuned on on both the desktop and the laptop. The printer is listed on my laptop, but I cannot print over the network to my HP PSC 1401 All In One. I get an Access Denied error even though the printer should still be connected to the network.

Before I had Mavericks I was able to print over the network to a Windows PC. Now I receive the message, "connection refused." Any ideas?

Before I upgraded to Mavericks, I was able to print over the network to a printer attached to a Windows PC. Now, I receive the message, "connection refused." any ideas as to why this may be and what I can do about it would be appreciated.

I had reconfigured all of the settings the same as in the previous OS X. The only thing I can think of that may be causing this is that the printer is an older Canon Pixma iP4300 and the Canon site doesn't have a driver for the new OS X. The Canon site said that the new OS X may supply the driver. Is there any one with the same experience as mine?

Can you stream music from an iphone to the bluray over the wifi?

Can you stream music from an iphone to the Sony Bluray model BDV-E770W over the wifi?

Can you sync attachments from an iPhone to a Windows PC with Outlook 2007? I would like to receive email on the iphone with attachments and then sync the attachments to a Windows XP PC with Outlook 2007 without Outlook 2007 having to connect to the mail server itself and having to separely download the attachment. Is this possible?
No it is not. The only information synced regarding email accounts is the email account information only and this is in one direction only - from your computer to the iPhone via iTunes.

Printing to a shared Epson r1900 Over The Network

I'm considering an Epson R1900 printer as a replacement for my old Epson Stylus Photo 870. My printer will be set up in the basement though and hooked to a Linux box as print server. With the 870 I mostly use a CUPS raw queue on the Linux box and everything works fine. My Mac with OS X 10.5.6 prints just fine as do the Windows machines in the house. But in this case the Mac is using Gutenprint drivers since the printer is so old.
While I'm sure I can just use the Gutenprint drivers for the R1900 in the same way, what I want to know is how well the Epson drivers for the R1900 will integrate in this environment. Will they accept the fact that I'm passing the print commands through CUPS to a remote printer or do they need me to hook the printer up locally? If they're designed for a local printer can I fool them by hooking the printer up locally on installation and then redirecting the printer settings to point to a CUPS raw queue post installation?
Also, does anyone have experience with Gutenprint vs. Epson print results for the R1900? I'll mostly be printing from Aperture 2.1.

The problem is that the Epson driver(s) on OS X are based on Carbon and bypass the CUPS backends. Mac-to-Mac print sharing uses this fact and redirects USB comm output to the other Mac. If you could duplicate this on linux, you'd be a Mac and linux legend!
The More Printers > Epson USB drivers require USB connection; the Gutenprint (CUPS) drivers don't.
