Illustrator CS fails to communicate with Epson Artisan 800 Printer?

I've recently added an Epson Artisan 800 to my work station. It is recognized and prints from all applications with the exception of Illustrator. I make sure that all page set-up's and print set-ups on pre-print screen are set for the Artisan 800. When I send a file to print, the printer icon bounces and just as soon as the job title appears in the print que, it disappears, without ever communicating with the printer or sending the job.
Is there a compatibility issue with CS and the Artisan 800 that anyone knows about?
..... that is the old "CS", not 2. 3 or 4

I run 10.4.11 and am unfamiliar with that specific Epson. However step one with Epson troubleshooting is to do any OS updates then download and install the latest Epson driver, even if what you are using is current. The new install will simply install over the old installation. Repair Permissions via Disk Utility immediately before and again immediately after both the OS updates and the printer driver installation.
Once good Epson paper and a new driver installation are done the final step is to carefully follow Gary Ballard's excellent color management tutorials:

Cannot print from Aperture v.2.1.2 to an Epson Artisan 800 printer

I recently purchased an Epson Artisan 800 printer and I would like to be able to print from Aperture. Unfortunately, I have been unable to do so, in spite of multiple conversations with the Epson support group. I am able to print from other applications, such as TextEdit, Safari, and iPhoto. However, when I try to print from Aperture, I never get any output from the printer. Depending on the image that I try to print from Aperture, I will see an error message flash on the printer's display screen.
I captured the following error message from the "system.log" file:

I am having this problem on both my iMac G5 and my wife's MacBook. Both are running the latest versions of Mac OS X (10.5.6) and the latest version of Aperture.
If anyone has been able to print from Aperture to an Epson Artisan 800 printer, please let me know how you did it. Thanks.

Printer driver in Safari not compatible with Epson Artisan 730 printer

After being on the phone with Epson for 3 days, it seems as though Safari/Firefox/iMac is missing a driver for my Epson Artisan 730 printer. Does anyone know how to rectify this? The printer is brand new, operating with Lion and prints out gibberish, 30 pages at a time. Help!

First some people have had problems getting the printer drivers to update via software update, make sure you have the correct drivers as shown in this table.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669
To see what driver you have go to System Preferences > Print and Scan > into the printer utility and under the general tab you'll see the driver version.
To force an update delete the old driver
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15947486#15947486
I just resolved a problem with our Epson Artisan 730 and print quality, turns out the USB drivers and WIFI drivers are VERY different and the USB drivers offer much better quality, more options in the print dialog for quality and color management.
If you already have the correct version of the drivers maybe a mac connected to the printer via USB can share the printer and then you can print with the USB driver. I know that's a pain since that's what we did before we got the 730 with WIFI.

Communication error with epson artisan 1430 printer

I used to be a Windows pc owner, and never had an issue with my Epson Artisan 1430 printer - Now i have a Macbook (OS X Yosemite 10.10.2) and my printer decides to have a communication error 1/3 the way through printing something .... I have used the Reset Printing System, I have deleted and reinstalled all software and drivers ... I don't know what else to do. My Printer is on a network so i can connect wirelessly .... Please if anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it...
<Email Edited by Host>

Most likely, the printer's Wi-Fi interface is malfunctioning or misconfigured, or else there is a bug in the software. Since this is a current-model printer, your next step should be to contact EPSON support.

I have an HP Photosmart 8200 and and Epson Artisan 800 printer and neither one is showing up in my printer selection any more. How do I get these back?

I have a MacBook Pro that came with Mac OS 10.7 Lion on it, and had been printing on both an HP Photosmart 8200 and an Epson Artisan 800. I had an issue where I would print from Photoshop and every time I would print I'd need to make a new printer. I don't think that it was ONLY WAY, but it worked for me. Anyways, I finally got tired of scrolling down the list to choose the new printer – HP Photosmart 8200_23 – or something like that, so I deleted some of the printers that had extra numbers. This is where the print Print & Scan dialog in the system prefs has the little plus and minus. It turns out that I pressed the minus on everything - going overboard with my clicks. Now, I have NO PRINTER and each time my computer tries to download drivers from HP and Epson, they have no updates for me. When I go on there website there are no drivers for Mac 10.7. I have no idea how to get my printers back. Any ideas or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Erik Jurado

Documents stuck in queue with Epson Artisan 725 Printer

I just bought an Epson Artisan 725 all-in-one printer, replacing an Epson Stylus Photo R200.
I dutifully ran the install CD. The printer is found on the Airport Network. The iMac G4, running 10.4 can print. Neither the iMac G5 or the MacBook, both running 10.5.8 can print. Documents, including the test page, get stuck in the queue, with a status of "stopped," and can't be requeued.
I get the infamous error: (/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacO S/rastertoescpII) stopped with status 206!
which I can "catch" and copy from the print queue. Or I can see it in the CUPS error log.
I've tried all kinds of uninstalling, reinstalling, reinstalling upgraded drivers from the Epson site, repairing disk permissions. I even got all the way up to the Epson second tier of support.
They say it's an Apple problem, and I have no AppleCare.
I would upgrade to Snow Leopard on the MacBook if I knew this would fix the problem. I'm going to do that anyway. But I will still need the iMac G5 to print also.
What could I try that I haven't?

Not good here. I've been at it for two days to no avail.
I have an old G3 iBook; it networks with the Artisan 725, and I can even capture a scan. The printer works fine with my PowerBook G4, but anytime I try to print from the iBook the job queue stops and will not resume. I've run to the end of tech support, reset the Printer Setup Utility, I've deleted and reinstalled the driver and utilities more times than I can count. I even erased reformatted and reinstalled the hard drive, logged on from alternate accounts, even went at it with the fixya mac Printer Setup Repair app. Nothing seems to work.
I'm guessing that it's just time for a new computer, but dang-it there's nothing I've run across that says it's impossible to use the Artisan 725 with a G3. Anybody with a suggestion would be rewarded with my undying gratitude.

Epson Artisan 800 support in Snow Leapard

Hi. I was wondering if anyone upgrading to SL has the Epson Artisan 800 printer. The Epson site indicates that they don't yet have compatible drivers for SL, but the Apple Support Site lists it as being supported with drivers included in SL. I would like to upgrade to SL, but can't give up my printer. P.S. currently the printer is network connected to three systems.

Until recently, I had difficulty with wireless wifi scanning on the Epson 810 Artisan under Mac OS X 10.6.1. Wireless printing worked fine, but scanning did not. For those looking for wifi scanning, I'm pleased to report that it now works after installing the most recent updated drivers released 10/9/09:
Epson Printer Drivers for Mac OS X v10.6.1 2.1
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/epsonprinterdriver sformacosxv1061.html
It is suggested you download the drivers, then remove and re-add the printer under System Preferences > Print & Fax, after which the scanning functions are accessible.

I am using an epson artisan 835 printer wifi compatible is it also capable to use with my iPad? How do I set it up to print documents from my iPad?

Your printer isn't on the list but you may be able to print with Epson's app or other print apps from the App Store.

Migration from Exchange 2007 to 2013 gives error "Failed to communicate with the mailbox database'

I have been trying to migrate several databases from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. The migration started successfully, and many of the mailboxes moved successfully (about 70). The remaining mailboxes, failed. Looking deeper, we found a few issues; The
two 2013 Mailbox servers were on different versions. The Server had run out of disk space, and the NIC drivers needed to be updated.
Now when we try to migrate a mailbox that had failed in the earlier batch, we get the following error:

All of the issues listed above have been corrected, and all of the databases are mounted. Users are able to send and receive mail, but I can not migrate mail using the Migration Batch utility.
The destination server is a Hyper-V Guest running Server 2012, SP1, and Exchange 2013
The Source Server is Running Exchange 2007.
I have tried doing a test move to another destination server that is also Server 2012, and Exchange 2013, and the migration also failed.
I would appreciate any help you can give me!
Thanks,
Jon

Any update if you have resolved the issue.
Not similar, but this thread can be helpful while you migrate the mailboxes from exchange 2007 to 2013.

Hello, I have created a distribution kit for my program.The problem is that the when the program is installed onto another computer, it fails to communicate with field point (Using FP-AO-200 and FP-AO-1000). Help is greatly appreciated, Thanks faen9901

Hi Everyone,
I have a program that sends information(analog output) to lab windows cvi in the form of a text file or user input.
The program runs on the computers that I have the field point explorer and lab windows cvi installed on. In order to run the program without always installing labwindows/cvi and field point; I wanted to create an executable file that could be load on another computer.
I used the create distribution kit part of labwindows/cvi to do this.After creating the distribution kit, I then installed it
to another computer.
My user interface appears on the screen, when the user clicks on the exe. file, but no data is sent to the field point module. I know that the data is being read from the user and textfile because in it appears in the uir.
The following are some details about the problem:
1. On another computer without labwindows/cvi and field point explorer not installed - no data is sent to field point module
I know this because a current is being read on the current meter connected to field point module.
My questions are the following:
1. What are the possible reasons for the data not being sent to the field point module?
2. Do I still need to create an iak. (Installing Field point Explorer) file stored on any new computer that I install my created distribution kit file too?
Thankyou very much for any help that you can provide. I greatly appreciate it.

1) If you do not install FieldPoint Explorer, the FieldPoint Server is not installed so there is nothing on the target computer that knows how to talk to the FieldPoint system.
2) Yes, you need an IAK file on the target computer. Assuming the settings (i.e. com port#) are identical you can simply include the iak file as part of the distribution.
3) You also need to include as part of your installer the file "fplwmgr.dll". If this file is not installed, your program will not be able to access the FieldPoint Server. Alternatively, this file is installed automatically if FieldPoint Explorer detects LabWindows/CVI or Measurement Studio Development versions on the target computer or if you choose to do a custom FieldPoint Explorer installation and
choose to provide LabWindows/CVI support.

DPM failed to communicate with the protection agent on DPM 2010 SERVER because the agent is not responding. (ID 43 Details: Internal error code: 0x8099090E)

Hi everyone,
Backup jobs for protected members are intermittently failing with the following error on the DPM server:
DPM failed to communicate with the protection agent on <DPM 2010 SERVER> because the agent is not responding. (ID 43 Details: Internal error code: 0x8099090E)
Why does the DPM server failing to see it's own DPM agent cause the backup job for another server to fail? One day a backup will work fine, the next it may fail; and the next back to normal again...
The following error is recorded in the Service Control Manager event log on the DPM server just prior to the above error:
A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the DPMRA service to connect.
Thank you.
With regards,
Rob

Hello,
I have read these entire postings and see that my problems match most of the above problems.
I believe we have tried all of the ideas in this blog and lots of other ideas from other forums and internet searches.
We have about 80 small databases protected and set at 15 minute incremental and most will work but some fail. When they fail the most common, but not only error, is something like "DPM
failed to communicate with the protection agent on <DPM 2010 SERVER> because the agent is not responding. (ID 43 Details: Internal error code: 0x8099090E)". The alert is inactivated in the DPM Console, and the backups resume as normal."
Since later jobs are successful I thought all was well. All was well until I went to restore from incremental backups. We worked for two days (day and night work) to restore
from a corrupted virtual disk on our SQL Server 2008 R2. I suspect DPM had something to do with the corrupted virtual disk. All I know is that we never had this problem until installing DPM. Here is what we encountered when we went to restore
from the protection points:
* Restore jobs take a minimum of 15 minutes for jobs that are 45 MB or 2 GB.
* If you pick a backup from the list of recovery points that is not valid the job runs for 15 minutes and then "Failed".
* You cannot rerun the job because SQL Server 2008 has the table being recovered as <tablename> (recovering) and a retry will not work. Of course time is wasted while waiting
to see if it worked.
* Eventually you realize that even after dropping the table in the (recovering) mode in SQL that the restore point must be bad or possibly one of this failed recovery points.
* So begins the quest to start restoring recovery points one by one and 15 minutes by 15 minutes until you find one that actually restores to a SQL Instance.
* If you have 80 of these to do and you average trying three recovery points and each takes 15 minutes, not to mention the time to drop the table in SQL, well that time adds up to 3,600
minutes of trial and error. 60 hours of trial and error, wow not much of a savings using DPM over a SQL backup plan.
* And then you have to explain to your customers that their databases were restored but you do not know at what point the DB was restored.
All in all it seems like DPM concept is great but like many backups the backup plan looks good on paper but actually restoring a backup is quite a different matter.
I don't know if anyone has ever solved the problems presented in this forum but if they have then I wish they would post and if no one has solved the problem then shame on DPM.
Good luck everyone, but I for one have spent about two months on trying to protect and restore consistently. I have never had one day of consistent and reliable restore points. I
am going back to sql management plans for my backups. I have never, in 10 years had a sql generated backup fail me. Never.

My Canon 5D is working 100% as it works with a PC and the USB cable is the same cable that works with the PC. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Great to hear it! & welcome to the mac family!
