Issues installing Epson RX680 printer driver

i got a new printer, a espon printer stylus rx680. although i've installed the printer driver, the rx680 isn't listed at all and i can't add the printer. spent good money and i'm determined to make this printer work... plus i threw away the box so i can't return it ... any suggestions on what i should do?

If you are current with your Software Updates, then you should have the Oct 4. Epson Printer Drivers v2.12 for OS X installed. This provides support for the R2880 directly from Print & Scan system preferences.
If your R2880 is already present in your Print & Scan configuration, you may need to first remove it, then add it back, choosing the Epson R2880 driver (version 9).

Installing epson r2880 printer driver

Hi,
I am trying to add an Epson r2880 to my iMac running MAC OS 10.8 Mountain Lion and I keep getting messages as below now over a 12+ hour period. Is the server really down for this long or should I do something different to get this printer driver loaded? Multiple attempts through the software update have failed.
Thanks,
Jorge

Unable to install Epson ICC printer profiles in Lion (access privileges message)

I upgraded to Lion and cannot install Epson ICC printer profiles. When I try to install, the installation is halted with the message that I do not have enough access privileges for this installation. Yes, I am the admin (I checked, as I know this is a known issue). I have the current updates to the O/S and the Epson driver. Specifically, these are printer paper profiles for an Espon Stylus Photo R2800 printer.

The ownership of the /Library/ColorSync directory and its contents changed in Lion. You acutally do not have enough priviliges as admin to write to that directory anymore. EPSON's installer does not have the ability to ask you for your password to escalate the admin privileges to root. You should report this to EPSON and insist that they update their installer.
There is a way to get the files installed, but it is pretty involved. I will give you the general idea but USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. There is a risk you could break your system and make it unusable.
With those admonitions in mind, here's the general outline.
1. Go to /Library/ColorSync. Highlight the folder and do a Get Info on it.
2. Under the Sharing & Permissions portion, give "everyone" the ability to Read & Write. Then choose to have this applied to all enclosed items.
3. Run the EPSON installer(s). The profiles will now install.
4. Change the ownership and permissions for all the installed items useing the Terminal--
For the EPSON folder the command is 'sudo chown -R root:wheel path_to_EPSON_folder'
For each and every item in the EPSON folder, the command is 'sudo chmod 644 path_to_item'
5. Open Disk Utility and Repair Permssions.

Can't find Epson 9900 printer driver after installation.

After installing the printer driver for my epson 9900 printer, it doesn't show up in the printer dialogue box in system preferences. When I try printing from Photoshop it also doesn't show up in selecting a printer. I am upgrading from a previous 9900 printer driver. I trashed the old printer driver. After installing the new printer driver, I restarted my iMac. But still it doesn't show up.

Try resetting the printing system.

Can anyone tell me how to install a network printer driver without having the network printer online?

Can anyone tell me how to install a network printer driver without having the network printer online? It doesn't matter what manufactors make the network printers. Is a netwaork printer(with network card) has to have that printer on line to be able to install
the driver? This is the point of my question!
I've ask a same type of question previously, but I can't either get good answer nor reply on the response.

DP
The computer (and driver) have to handshake with the printer, QED it has to be either online or physically connected and if it is physically connected it wont work on the network so yes it does.

I downloaded the Acrobat 11 trial and I can open the product. During the install it deleted the existing print driver and did not install a new print driver so I CAN Not create and print pdf files.

What OS? Have you tried a repair and updates from the HELP menu? The updates may be the key.

OS is asking to install already existing printer driver over and over again

OS is asking to install already existing printer driver of a printer that already exists and works. If I say yes, he searches and finds nothing. What can I do to end this?

What kind of printer is it? Try deleting that folder from /Library/Printers/ and reinstalling the update.

DNS server refurse to start after installing MFC-7820N printer driver

Last night I installed a new printer driver brxubprt11c.dmg for Mac OSX 10.4 V.1.1.0
This morning I could not get the DNS to run, which had been running for months. I would start but immediately stop again. I try to save the setting again with a small change but alas. The apple tech support had me check my hard drive and repair permission, but alas. They recommended that i read "getting started supplemental manual" and did a new DNS setup.
This night I decided to copy all the setting (I took screen captures and dragged the DNS Config.plist to my desktop. Just in case, I changed the log setting to "debug"... Maybe it would tell me something... I started it up...but it kept running...
Does this make any sense to anyone? Does anyone has a guess how saving the log setting might have got the thing back to work? Does it save only the change in the log file or the whole DNS Config.plist?

This was due to a bad hard drive

Installing most recent print driver for Epson Pro 3800

I like to make sure that I use the most recent print driver for my Epson Pro 3800.
So I downloaded the driver "epson 328233 eu.dmg" and it shows up in "Finder downloads"
* I assume that this driver is the most recent one?
I have no idea how to continue to replace the existing driver and how to install the latest driver?
* Do I have to remove the present driver? If so: how do I find the old driver and how do I remove this driver?
* Thereafter in what way do I install the new driver?
I am far from a software specialist and I recently switched from PC to iMac which is still troubling me!
Thank you for helping me!
Harry

Dear Sig,
Thank you for your answer which solved my problem.
I had the imprerssion that in Mac some downloads are installed automatically and some are not?
But this might be a wrong observation and is installing always necessary?

How can I install epson stylus nx625 driver on my Macbook Pro?

I've spent a frustrating few hours today going back and forth between Apple tech support and Epson tech support and still do not have a solution to what should be a simple problem. I got a new MacBook Pro as a work computer and want to install my home printer on it so that I can print when working from home. The printer is an Epson Stylus NX 625 all in one.
The directions on Epson's website indicate that the only way to install is use the "Software Update" function by going to the Apple icon on the upper left corner. When doing this, the system looks for an update and finds nothing. Printer is connected to the MacBook via usb cable and is also on my wireless network. I called Apple tech support and they said they don't have a driver for this Epson device and I should contact Epson. I called Epson tech support and they say that they don't even have the driver for this device on their website because "Apple has signed off on ownership of this driver and only they can deliver this to you via their software update". Can anyone help?
I am running Mountain Lion, OS X 10.8.1
Thanks for any assistance provided.

Epson R2880 printer driver problems with Snow Leopard

I’m running 10.6.4 on a new Mac mini and I’m trying to print to a new Epson R2880. If I let the system choose the printer driver in the print and fax utility, I get a sort of generic print dialogue box without many options, but it prints. If I go into the print and fax utility and manually choose the driver, I get a different print dialog box with all the appropriate print options. I checked and it matches the screen shots for this printer that are posted on the Epson site, so I feel sure this the correct driver. However, when I try to print with this driver, I get this error message. Error:/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpll.app/Contents /MacOS/rastertoescpll failed.
This seems to be a common problem with Snow Leopard and the R2880 Epson printers, and it seems that most people are able to solve it by deleting the printer from the printer queue and resetting the printer queue. But that hasn’t solved my problem.
Here’s what I’ve done:
Manually deleted the Epson folder from the hard drive and trashed it, repaired disk permissions, uninstalled the Epson driver, updated software, downloaded and installed the Apple/Epson driver, deleted the printer from the print queue, and reset the printer queue. I’ve done all of these things several times over. And still I get the same error message every time I try to print from the driver with the print options. Does anyone have any other suggestions for a fix?

Some of the previous users had success when they restarted after deleting the /Library/Printers/EPSON and /Library/Caches/Epson folders. You might also try deleting the /Library/Cache folder. There is a solution posted from someone at Epson:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10909012#10909012
Substitute 2880 for RX580:
Make sure that you have completely removed the Stylus Photo RX580 driver, then install the new driver from System Update:
1. Power off the printer
2. Open System Pref. and Print/Fax
3. Highlight the RX580 printer
4. Click on the ""-"" sign
5. Close Print and Fax
6. Open your Mac's Hard Drive
7. Open the Library Folder
8. Open Printer and delete the EPSON Folder
9. Open the PPDs folder find the Epson Stylus Photo RX580.gz and delete the file
10. Close the PPD and the Printer folder
->11. In the Library folder, open the Caches Folder
->12. Delete the Epson folder
->13. Restart the Mac
14. Power on the printer
15. Click on the Apple Icon and System Update
16. Follow the directions to install the new driver
Hope this helps.

Epson 630 printer driver mountain lion

Is there a printer driver available for the Epson Workforce 630? When I try to add the printer I get a dialog returned that says it can't be intalled because it is not currently available from the Software Update server. When I go to the Epson site, they have a Mountain Lion page that says software can only be installed by turning on the printer and updating through the Apple software update, which comes back the error mentioned previously. It's hard to tell if there's a current problem with the software update system or the driver software's not available yet.
Thanks in advance.

The Epson Workforce 630 is listed as a supported printer in Apple's list.
See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669 for both instructions on how to get it set up as well as the list that confirms it's available.
Make sure the printer is turned on and available to be seen by your Mac (either directly connected or available on your network). Then do a software update --- I suggest trying it the old fashioned way from Menu --> Apple Logo --> Software Update.

How do I change security preferences to let me install an HP printer driver? Won't let me because not an "identified developer".

Downloaded a printer driver from HP website for a p1102w laser printer. When I try to run the install package, I get a pop-up telling me that only App Store and "identified developers" application are allowed dur to my security preferences. When I try to change in System Preferences, the option to change is grayed out.
Printer not working, Printer proxy displays no window. At an impasse...
