Need to find printer driver for OS 9.0.4 for Epson Stylus NX415

Here's my problem:
I have an old strawberry-colored original iMac, running OS 9.0.4.
I also have an Epson Stylus NX415 all-in-one printer.
But -- the iMac does not recognize the printer.
In order for this printer to connect to this Mac, I need to have a "printer driver" extension that I can install (and then restart), so that the printer appears in the "Chooser" window, so I can select it there.
I'd need either a printer driver specific to the NX415, or some kind of generic Epson printer driver compatible with this specific model.
But here's the problem: I think the NX415 was first manufactured AFTER OSX was introduced, so it could be that Epson never even bothered to make a printer driver for OS 9 for the NX415.
Help!
I've scoured the Internet and legacy sites that specialize in old OS 9 software, and also scoured Epson's site, and could not find any appropriate printer drivers in any of those places.
Any suggestions, or specific links to where I can download such a driver?
Or is it the case that this printer simply physically will NEVER work with this model of Mac, and I should just give up?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
A good guess would be that you are right in that an NX415 driver for Mac OS 9 was not made because of the fact that the printer is much newer than the operating system. It is probably going to be difficult to find a Mac OS 9 driver for another model that will allow any or all parts of the all-in-one printer in question to work properly. However, if you wish to carry out experiments, the Mac OS 8/9 drivers on the Epson support page for CX3200 may be as close as you can get.
Perhaps someone else has a better idea.

    Hi lt12345,
    I understand that you are looking to use the Photosmart 2710 with Windows 8.1 RT, but are unable to locate a driver. In my attempt to locate a driver I have come up empty handed. It appears that this printer is not supported for printing from Windows RT.

  • Need to find a driver for cRIO-9211 thermocouple to be used with LabView

    I am using the NI cRIO-9211 Thermocouple input and the NI USB-9162 Hi-Speed USB Carrier and need to find a driver to interface the thermocouple with LabView 8.5.1. Could you point me in the right direction as to where I can download a driver for this?

    Hi Durnan,
    You will require the DAQmx driver for the USB 9162. This can be found here: ni.com/downloads, see DAQmx 8.8 - would do.
    You only require the DAQmx driver, as the C Series modules are supported - they can just be used in a cRIO as well.
    Hope this helps,
    Kind Regards,
    James.

  • Mac OS 10.5 Bonjour Unable to find printer driver for P1606dn connected via wired network.

    I have been trying to connect my HP Laserjet Pro P1606dn to my PowerMac G5 running Mac OS 10.5.8.  I connected the priner to my LAN via Ethernet cables and NetGear 8-port switch.  I then successfully installed the printer driver from the supplied CD on the Mac and went to System Preferences / Print & Fax to add the printer to the list of connected printers.  Hit the "+" button.  The HP P106dn was listed in the table (Kind = Bonjour).
    I selected this entry in the table, and the dialog box immediately went into action: the "Print Using" pullodwn listed the greyed out message "Please select a driver or printer model" and a spinning wheel labeled "Searching for new drivers" appeared below it.  The dialog box searches for but never finds the printer driver (I waited 20 minutes with no success).  I have installed other HP printers this way on this machine without any problem, e.g., HP Color Laserjet 2605dn.  Why is this method not working with this printer?
    I was able to connect this printer with other (Intel) Macs in my household via this LAN arrangement.  Is the printer driver for Intel-only Macs?
    I disconnecting the printer from the LAN and connected it directly to my Mac with a USB cable.  Followed the same process, and I was able to connect to this printer.  Successfully printed a document page.  While this provides me with a work-around for the G5 Mac, I need to share this printer with the other Macs in my household.
    I went to the HP download site and downloaded the latest driver for this printer, re-installed the printer driver on the Mac, and repeated the steps for the LAN arrangement (above) to complete the connection via the Print & Fax dialog.  The result was the same: spinning wheel searching for a printer driver that it cannot find.
    I do not know what else to do, or why this installation will not work.  I would appreciate it very much if anyone could offer an explanation for this or some suggestions as to what else can be done?

    I apologize for the delay in responding to you.  I was on the road all day yesterday.
    OK.  I switched the printer's Ethernet cable to a Linksys Switch (Model EZX S55W) that's part of this local network.  That did not work.  I swapped out the cable for one that I know works.  Still no change.  I switched the printer's Ethernet cable directly to a port on the router.  No change.  I even swapped cables here, too, but no success.
    As I was doing all this, I was wondering: When I select the HP P1606dn printer in the Print and Fax "Add" dialog box, (see the image below) and the Print Using pulldown menu displays "Please select a driver or printer model" and the message "Searching for new drivers" appears under it (with the spinning wheel), why is it that the Ethernet connection to printer is critical to "finding" a new (printer) driver?
    Isn't the utility searching through my system and libraries looking for a printer driver app for the printer that I identified/selected in the dialog box?  
    After all, if the dialog box lists the printer among those to choose from, hasn't the utility already discovered the printer via the Ethernet connection?

  • Where can I find a print driver compatible with OS 10.7 for USB HP LaserJet P1006?

    Where can I find and download a print driver compatible with OS 10.7.5 on iMac for USB HP LaserJet P1006?
    Ran software update. Apple notes that a driver is unavailable, consult HP (who seems to offer only info but no software download available).
    Any troubleshooting info or hints are appreciated.

    Hi LPfromMA,
    I'm sorry to hear you've run into difficulties finding the driver for your HP Laserjet P1006 for your Mac OS X 10.7.5.
    I have included a document with the steps to download and install the driver for your printer and your Mac. It has a section for a USB connection.  I have also checked HP.com and there is driver for Mac OS X 10.7.

  • Windows 7 clients need to update printer driver for no reason

    I have a problem with my Windows 7 clients in domain. We have 2012 print server and multiple printers installed on it. I installed a brand new Canon IR printer with a new driver from Canon webpage. After I did that, almost all Windows 7 clients got a warning
    that they need to update driver for printing. Those clients are NOT using the printer I installed, but the other ones (who worked fine until my installation). Is it possible that installing new printer cause other compatible printers to update themselfs???
    Can I avoid it in the future?

    Hi IvanSa83,
    The main issue is that installing a new printer will affect other printers, right?
    Here is a similar symptom and the environment is Windows 7 ,Windows 2003 Server. The OP in this case has resolved this issue by modifying the Group policy called “Point and Print Settings Restrictions”. This policy will influence Windows Vista and the later
    version.
    As the link posted by OP said: When an administrator updates a printer driver on a shared print server, the Point and Print feature automatically updates printer drivers from the print server to a client computer. Some printers may share driver files
    across several printer models or across a family of printers. An update to one of these shared driver files will cause client computers to update the drivers for any device that depends on the updated files.
    Here is the case link :
    Windows 7 client "Driver update required" status when other printers installed / updated on Win Server 2003
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/3c8d8c6f-b216-464d-92b7-ef94838ae36b/windows-7-client-driver-update-required-status-when-other-printers-installed-updated-on-win?forum=winserverprint

  • Need help finding a driver for my hp webcam . My computer say I dont have a camera but I do.

    Need help finding my camera[webcam] on my computor.

    Can you provide us with your computer model number?  Take a look in Device Manager to see if there is an Imaging Devices group that includes the webcam.  If not, is there an Unknown Device listed?  This would indicate that your webcam is detected, but there is no driver installed.  We can help you find the correct driver if that is the case.  Let's start with the computer model number.  Thanks.

  • My Lexmark X2670 printer doesn't work right since I reinstalled the Firefox 3,6 version. I keep getting the alignment page to print over and over. Is there a problem between the two? Do I need a new printer driver? What?Daisynew66

    I had to change my hrowser to Firefox because Internet Explorer 9 doesn't work with my ancestry.com program. I can't uninstall Internet Explorer 9. I got Firefox 4 and it didn't work either. I started having problems with my printer working at all then. l was told to go to Firefox 3.x. I looked and there is no 3.x it is 3.5 or 3.6. I downloaded 3.6. Now I keep getting a alignment page and end up having to shut off my printer. I'm using way too much ink. I'm almost out with no hope of getting more ink until I get paid. I can't find anyplace that says to update a driver or that I need a plug-in or what might be I've done everything I know to do.wrong. It has new port cables. Do you have any idea what could be wrong? Do I need to uninstall the printer and reinstall it again? daisy

    I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
    She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
    Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
    The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
    Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
    Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
    If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
    One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15947486#15947486
    On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
    I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

  • Can't find printer driver in menu

    I have a MacBook running 10.4.8 that I am trying to set up to print to an HP Deskjet 5150. Supposedly, the drivers for the Deskjet 5100 series are included with Tiger. However, when I go to add the printer, I can't select the 5100 series driver from the menu. It just doesn't show up. The last Deskjet that's listed is the 2500 series. I installed all of the printer drivers from the Tiger installation DVD, and I also downloaded and installed the driver directly from HP's web site. I just can't seem to select it. I've also tried restarting a couple of times. Any ideas?

    Well, I've checked the list of installed printer drivers for HP by OS X and I don't see a driver for the Deskjet 5100 series.
    When you downloaded the HP driver did you install it? You need to install the driver. Also you need to get the Universal Binary driver.
    You will need to uninstall any previous HP drivers you have installed for this printer and then Reset Print System in the Printer Setup Utility before trying to Add the universal binary driver.

  • T400 Windows 7 64bit Can't Find Printer Driver

    Hi all,
    Perhaps someone can  help with this puzzling problem. Just bought the T400 w/Win 7 64 bit from the Lenovo website. It is great except one thing.
    I have a Win2k T22 ThinkPad on the network with a parallel port HP laserjet 6L and a USB port HP DeskJet 970cxi. When I go to add a printer on the T400, Win7 searches the network and finds the printers. For the 6L it downloaded a driver and it works fine. For the 970cxi it tries to find a driver from MS website but can not find a driver.
    When I connect the970cxi printer directly to a USB port on the Win7 T400 it finds a driver and it works fine. But not over the network? Even after it found a driver when it was connected locally?
    On the network is a Debian Linux computer that can print to both printers. I turned on printer sharing on it. The T400 can find the printers on the Linux box and can print to both the 6L and 970cxi.
    I loaded VirtualBox on the T400 and then install Ubuntu Linux. The Ubunu Linux can find the printers and can print to both.
    Does anyone know what the heck is going on here? Why can't the T400 find a driver for the 970cxi printer but when it's connected directly it finds the printer driver and works?
    Is this a Win7 64 bit issue?
    No driver available?
    Communication problem w/printer?
    Buy a new printer and throw out a perfectly good printer?
    Thanks,

    Go to Solution.

    I did as you suggested but now get a different error: 0x00000214
    I googled this and found others with the same problem. Tried the solution and it worked!
    Here's the link:

    In case the link gets broken I cut and pasted it here:
    1. Click Start, click Control Panel and double click Devices and Printers.
    2. Click Add a Printer.
    3. Select "Add a local printer".
    4. Select "Create a new port". Choose "Local Port" as the type of the port.
    5. In the box "Enter a port name", type the address as the following format.
    \\Network address of the host computer\[The Share Name of the printer
    Then click Next.
    6. Choose the correct driver in the driver list. If no available driver, click the button Windows Update, wait for the process finishes and then look for the driver again.
    7. Finish the installation.
    Thanks! Your suggection got me to an error I could identify. And a solution. I hope others find this helpful.

  • How to help Mac to find printer driver?

    Using an older Epson Stylus Photo R1800. I used Epson's downloadable 'un-install' program in an attempt to start with a clean slate on my new machine (MBP-retina). Never particularly happy w/ print results on previous Mac OS's. Always thought there might be some type of double-processing going on between multiple drivers (if that's even possible?).
    Epson's driver site says the latest incarnation must be gotten from the Mac App Store. When trying to set-up the printer, the MAS will find and download an 'update' for a driver, but not download a driver. Went back to Epson's driver site and downloaded their latest downloadable driver for this printer. When I go to 'add' the printer I choose 'other' as my option to find the driver. Tried any and all parts of the downloaded 'Epson' file at user/HD/Applications/Library/Printers/Epson, but mountain lion will not recognize any thing as the driver and goes about searching in the MAS.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to get through or around this? Thanks in advance.

    Bruce,
    Afraid I have no link to post. I simply poked around through the batch files that came with Epsons printer driver package until I found something big enough that I figured it had to be the driver. I copied that particular file to desktop then used it as the 'other' driver source when adding the printer to the system.
    I ran a couple of prints to see that if it worked. Seems I might still have issues. The prints are ok, but not what I'd call good. But then I've never ever been able to get what I'd call 'great' prints from my set-up. Always thought there might be some kind of double-processing going on. I use Lightroom, and always have had to manipulate my jpgs, often to extremes, to get something that even looked like a keeper. Stupid I know, but I've been doing this so long that I've just accepted it as normal operating procedure.
    Sorry, I know this doesn't help much. If I have some time this afternoon I may try to play with it some more to see if I can work out the bugs. If I come up with something that works, I'll post my findings.
