No printing on epson stylus photo 1200 since snowleopard update

Since I updated my Imac to snowleopard, there is no more printing on the good old epson stylusphoto1200 incjetprinter. even after downloading abaout 1 gigabyte (or 2) of Epson-drivers (from the apple-site) nothing works (" you need to update the software of your printer".. , but everything is updated on softweáre-update..)
Has anybody an hint for still using this old machine?

I cannot find any mention of your Stylus Photo being supported by Epson in Snow Leopard. I would suggest you use the Gutenprint drivers. You can download the latest release from http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php.

Can't print using Epson Stylus Photo R300

I am new to Mac ownership and have been having issues since updating to OS10.4.9. I have an Epson Stylus Photo R300 and have been using CUPS and Gimprint to print w/o a problem (OK, I had to call tech support and spent 10 hours getting it figured out) Now, for no reason my computer won't print again. I'm not sure what the issue is. Nothing has changed. I use a wireless print server connected to my wireless router. I've tried everything today. I'd removed all print drivers, CUPS and Gimprint and reinstalled. I've tried checking to see if the router has a different IP but nothing is working.
When I go to print the utility will spool the printing and then tell me the printer is busy and it will try again later.. then it times out. I've cleared the print history and jobs but still get the message. The only time I got anything close to printing was when I selected default browser, selected the wireless router but it chose Apple talk at the communication so I just got syntax stuff to print. Nothing in English.
So any help from ANYONE would be appreciative because Apple wasn't helpful when I called today.

Is there any reason why you're not using the standard Epson supported driver? It's available here

Upgraded to Mountain Lion and CS3, I am no longer able to access the correct dialog box for fine printing with Epson Stylus Photo 1400.

I have recently upgraded my Mac OS to Mountain Lion, and am using Photoshop CS3 together with Lightroom 5. To my absolute horror, in either Adobe program I am no longer able to access the dialog box which allows me to choose paper type, size, and print quality when attempting to print on my Epson Stylus Photo 1400. An excruciating hour on the phone with largely unintelligible folks at Epson seemed to prove the problem lies with Adobe instead of Epson. I'd greatly appreciate whatever advice might be forthcoming from the Community.

Well, this seemed to work.. can't believe it! After a year of messing with this!
from Stevejones5
"I found a way around this problem. GO to HD/Library/Printers/Epson/InkjetPrinter/ICCProfiles and you will find a file labeled Pro38.profiles. This is a package file. Control click on it and reveal contents. Then you can copy all the profiles and paste them into your Colorsync folder either in the HD/Library folder or your own Home folder/Library. Then the profiles will show up in Photoshop and Lightroom."
Key, is to Control click on the printer to "Open contents". Then open Resource folder. Copy everything in it and then paste it into the "Colorsync" folder in your Library. (Remember, to get to Library you have to hold the command key down for it to appear in "Go" Menu for Finder.
Then I reinstalled printer driver from Apple, then rebooted computer, then plugged in printer. And VOILA-- I can now select Epson Premium Photo Paper Luster!

PSE 6 Crashes when trying to print to Epson Stylus Photo 1400

Has anyone had an issue with PSE 6 crashing when trying to print a single photo from the Organizer? I have tried to print photos directly from the Organizer and each time I do, the application crashes. I can open the photo in the editor and print directly from the editor with no problems. It's not the printer becuase I can print from other applications to the printer. I can also print to my HP PSC 2355 with no issues. but for some reason, I cannot get the Organizer application to print to the Epson. I have uninstalled the printer and reinstalled it. I have checked to see if there are any updated drivers - there are none. I'm running PSE 6 on Windows Vista 32-bit. Any suggestions what else I can try? I hate that I cannot print to my new printer!

Try deselecting the print options "EXIF Print" and "Print Image Matching". Unfortunately, the Search function of the new forums doesn't work yet for older messages, but I did find this thread cached by Google referring to a similar problem:

Epson Printer problem "Epson Stylus Photo PX710W" - solved!

Hello All,
My system: OS 10.6.4
I am posting this in the hope that it is useful to someone. Firstly, the printer is great. However, I had a really frustrating time trying to print via Iwork, Iphoto or print off an email directly in a web browser. Each time I did this an error appeared stating there was an error with the library and it failed to print. For me, I really wanted to be able to print from, say the Apple word processing programme "Pages", or print of emails with important details etc. So I persevered and finally came to a solution!
After contacting Epson (and Apple!) a few times one Epson guy gave me the following instructions. Please note I accept no loss or damage directly or indirectly from following this advice if you have the same problem of not being able to print out emails in browsers or print from Iwork, or Iphoto, whether you choose to follow this advice or not is solely your responsibility, however this worked for me:
EMAIL FROM THE EPSON ENGINEER
From the information you have provided, it would suggest that either a communication problem is present or the Mac is unable to display the EPSON driver in the Printer Browser.
It is recommended that all EPSON Printers are removed and re-installed and you repair the communications.
To uninstall your printer:
1. Make sure that the EPSON printer is connected to the Mac through a direct USB connection (not through a Hub or the Keyboard) and switched on.
2. Make sure that the Mac is on and booted.
3. In the Mac Hard Drive/Applications/Utilities open the Printer Set-up Utility.
4. Remove all the references to the printer model.
5. Disconnect the printer from the computer.
6. We will now remove the EPSON Printer driver from the system and delete the drivers that you downloaded.
Go to the Mac Hard Drive/Library/Printer and move the complete EPSON folder to the trash. Warning this removes all EPSON Printers.
7. Also remove any drivers that were previously downloaded to the trash if the file name does not match that from our web site.
8. Restart the Mac.
9. Empty the trash.
10. Now we will run a repair utility that may take up to 30 minutes to complete so please plan for this. Go to Mac Hard Drive/Applications/Utilities and open the Disk Utility.
11. Select Disk First Aid at the top of the dialogue box.
12. Select the Mac Hard Drive Icon in the left hand pane.
13. Select Repair Permissions at the bottom of the dialogue box.
14. When this has completed restart the Mac. Power the printer on and ensure that it is directly connected to a USB port on the Mac and not via a third party device such as a USB hub.
You will now need to download the driver/s from the Epson website. Please connect to the Epson website via the link below:
http://www.epson.co.uk/support
Type in your product in the search field and then select the correct model. Then select your operating system if this is not automatically selected. Then please click the down arrow next to drivers and downloads and download the printer driver for your printer and ensure this starts in the Download Manager. The file may be in a SIT format, which requires Stuffit Expander to expand the compressed files, if you have not installed Stuffit, it is available from:
http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander
Please try the following to install and add the driver:
1. Locate the downloaded file, if in a SIT format, this requires Stuffit Expander so have Stuffit running.
2. If the file is a .DMG file, you do not require Stuffit, double-click the downloaded EPSON driver file and this will expand to reveal the dmg file and mounted drive.
3. Double-click the blue VISE icon when presented.
4. Follow the on screen prompts to install the driver, restarting the Mac when necessary.
5. Once restarted the driver needs adding to the printer list. To do this please go into the hard disk, go into the folder called Applications, double click on the folder called ‘Utilities’. You should see in this window the ‘Printer Setup Utility', double click on this icon. This will present the Printer List.
6. Delete any reference to the printer that may be on this list already as these may not be the genuine EPSON driver.
7. Click the add icon at the top and a dialogue box will appear, this will be the Printer Browser.
8. Next highlight the printer and then select add printer. Note: Do not choose a printer from the list of Epson printers. Your printer will not appear here, nor will the genuine Epson driver. You should be able to highlight the printer and choose 'Add'. If 'Add' is not available, leave the Printer Browser open and do not do anything else on the Mac, leave it open for about 10 minutes. When you come back to it, you should now find 'Add' available.
9. The printer should now be added to the printer list. Test the printer by highlighting it on the Printer List and selecting 'Utility'. The EPSON Printer Utility will appear, ensure paper is loaded and select to print a 'Nozzle Check'.
If you have an All in One, then to install the scanner component, locate the downloaded EPSON Scan driver and double-click this. The files will unstuff and a window will appear with the EPSON Scan Installer. Double-click this icon to initiate the installation.
11. Once installed, restart the Mac and the scanner should be ready to use. You can test this by going to: Applications : EPSON Scan.
If you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.

Here was an easy-ish way which I did it:
Step 1) Install the bloated, piece of garbage Epson software so that you have a copy of the driver, or alternatively, just install the driver.
Step 2) go into your router (http://192.168.0.1, user: admin, pass: admin) and set up what's called static ID. Just figure out the MAC address of your printer and assign a unique static ID to it, ie 192.168.0.100
Step 3) go into system preferences> printers> add printer (+)> IP> Line Printer Daemon - LPD and as the address give it the static address you assigned (192.168.0.100). If you installed the driver, it should automatically detect and select it.
VOILA!

QUESTION: problem printing to Epson Stylus Photo R800

with latest version of LR2. When trying to print, certain options (print setting, color management, print option) in the print set-up dialog box are crossed out as unavailable "for the current architecture" Is there a bug in LR program? Work around or fix? No such problem when printing to this printer in prior update of LR2.

My bad on the Pro part- the driver seems to be here:

"Removing printer from the list" refers to the Apple listing, the one you get when you hit print: you can choose a printer, choose to delete one, or choose to add one. This same dialog will allow you to add back the 'new' R800.

Why isn't my printer (epson stylus photo 820) working anymore??

HI,
I am having problems with my printer, an epson stylus photo 820. I have been using it for a long time, and suddenly for no reason, it refuses to print!
When I am trying to print something, in the stylus photo 820 dialogue box, it says "printing" under "status" but nothing happens for about 6-7 minutes. Then, the printer makes a noise and in the dialogue box it says "jobs stopped."
I have trying to reinstall the software that came with the printer, but it did not solve anything.
Thank you for your help.

You're Welcome highonthesound!
As I no longer have the Epson drivers installed, I'm not exactly sure how you can check which driver you currently are using.
If the procedure posted below doesn't work, the Epson may be dead. This worked for my Epson C86 whenever I encountered problems.
Change any C86 reference I may have missed editing, to your 820 model.
* Download the driver from Epson - 820, Printer Driver v1.8bAs
* Before moving the folder & files listed below, to a Temporary Epson Trash Folder, that you should create on the Desktop, open Printer Setup Utility, and delete the 820.
* Quit Printer Setup Utility
* Move the files (Posted in CAPITALIZED Italics), to the newly created Temporary Epson Trash Folder

I also had a Epson OS X booklet.pdf, that I had saved in my Documents folder. You will get a new one. After the installation, I replaced it. You may not have saved your original one. It's no big deal, there's really not much in it, In fact I don't remember the last time I opened it!
* Quit ALL running Applications
* Repair Permissions using Disk Utility in the Utilities folder
* Dig out your Epson 820 Start Here instruction quick sheet, for reference

Epson Stylus Photo R-3000

I am using Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS 10.9.5. My printing on Epson Stylus Photo R3000 is always comes out too dark. I'm sure I have my setting right and have tried lots of variations (embeded colors vs. color managed, etc.) None of that makes much difference compared to the overall dark cloud that masks my photos. Epson says it is a know Mac - Adobe issue and to contact them for a fix.

This is not a known issue with any Adobe products.
But Epson has had a lot of problems with their drivers in MacOS 10.9.

Epson Stylus Photo RX680 with Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter 2 won't pair

This post describes my problem, but I couldn't reply since it has been archived:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7882399&#7882399
I am having the same issue with an Epson Stylus Photo RX680 and their Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter 2. I go to System Preferences -> Bluetooth -> Set Up New Device, click Continue, select Printer, and click Continue. At this point, the Bluetooth Setup Assistant sends me to the Print & Fax System Preferences window. I can add the printer under the Bluetooth heading. It finds the drivers and adds the printer to my printers list, but a test page (or anything else) won't print. The job is added to the queue, but it stops trying to print after a few seconds. If I go to the Bluetooth System Preferences, I can see the printer listed (for a while), and I notice that it is connected but not paired.
If I run the Bluetooth Setup Assistant and select Any Device instead of Printer, I see the printer in the list and can view the Passkey options. It is set to "Use a specific passkey", which is what I need. I have tried changing it to a different option and then changing it back, but it does not seem like this has an effect on how the printer is paired. I have never been asked for a passkey when attempting to add this printer, and I suspect that this is why I cannot print to it.
I have also tried enabling and disabling Bluetooth sharing, and this does not seem to have an effect, whether "require pairing" is checked or not. Isn't there some place where I can choose "Pair this device" once it has been discovered? I find it strange that I can connect to it but have no option to pair afterward (at least that I can find). To make the matter more complicated, the printer disappears from the device list in the Bluetooth System Preferences after about 30 seconds, so I have to remove the printer and reinstall it in order to see the it in the list again.
I am able to print to this printer using bluetooth from a Windows XP machine, so I don't think that there is a problem with the adapter. I am also able to print to this printer using USB, so I don't think that there is a driver problem. I believe (though I certainly could be wrong) that the issue is that the device is not paired. Can anybody help?
Thank you.

I was trying to find a way to use the Epson drivers because the Gutenprint drivers don't support duplexing or feeding out of the front tray on this printer, but at least this got bluetooth printing working. I downloaded the latest Gutenprint drivers (5.2.2), ran the uninstall program first to get rid of the old drivers, and then installed the new ones. I added the printer through the bluetooth heading in the Add Printer dialog, and I selected the RX680 Gutenprint driver (which was not available with the default OS X 10.5.5 installation). Once again, the printer showed up as connected but not paired in the Bluetooth System Preferences, and it disappeared from the device list after a few seconds, but printing works now. The print quality for this printer is much improved by the new drivers as well.
Bluetooth setup is mentioned in the user documentation. It's kind of a joke:
Macintosh computer: Double-click Bluetooth File Exchange in your Utilities folder and follow the on-screen instructions.
That's it. I have been disappointed with this printer on a number of occasions. If you are going to connect directly through USB, then it's probably fine. If you want to use any form of network connectivity, you had better be running Windows on any machine involved.
I'll talk with Epson support to see if I can get any further with their drivers. Since it's supposed to work, I'd like to see if I can get it to happen. Otherwise, I'll return the adapter and share the printer through a spare desktop.

No printing on CD's/DVD's (Epson Stylus Photo R200)

Unfortunately it seems that I cannot print on CD's/DVD's anymore since I have installed Snow Leopard.
I am using the Epson Stylus Photo R200 which was no problem with Tiger or Leopard.
When using the Epson Print CD program I am getting the error message that the driver for this purpose is not installed.
I have connected the printer via USB directly to my Mac Pro, then checked the website of epson. Unfortunately they have only older drivers. Never the less I tried it with them. Same problem. The I installed all epson drivers from the Snow Leopard download page again. Same problem.
Tried it in Windows XP (Parallels). Same problem. Very bad.
What can I do?
Thanks in advance
Thorge

I don't know if this helps, but I've always had problems printing wireless with my Epson Photo Printer 580. I am now able to print CDs wireless by going to Epson's North America site and downloading the EPson Print CD v2.0 as well as as the common updater.

Does Lion work with an Epson Stylus Photo R2000 Ink Jet Printer?

Does Lion work with an Epson Stylus Photo R2000 Ink Jet Printer?

Took deliverly of my R2000 yesterday 11/04/2012.
**** of a job/mission getting to connect wirelessly to OSX Lion, but thanks to the perseverence of Epson support online chat plus ultimately phone call from Epson,the problem was resolved (total 3hours 45mins online chat 45mins on phone) yes i was a gineapig as the R2000 has only been available since March 2012 here in the UK.
1. Download combo driver/utilities for R2000 Mac 10.6 (works with Lion)
2. Install latest drivers and Epsonet.
3. Connect the printer to your wireless router using a LAN cable.
4. Ensure ink is installed on startup of the printer as the printer wont for some reason communicate without it as all the printer knows is it needs ink.
5. Ensure Mac is also connected to router.
6. Run Epsonet.
7. When Epsonet has found the R2000 click next.
8. Then click Changes on the following screen.
9. Select wireless Lan.
10. Select config manually (the auto will not work with Lion)
11. Allow Epsonet to use passwords from keychain network name(SSID) + WEP password.
12. When done you will be prompted to disconnect the LAN from the printer.
13. Then Click next.
14. Ensure wireless light on printer is lit if not hold WiFi button on printer for 3 Secs.
15. If config is successful (it took me Two attempts) goto system preferences/print/scan/Add printer and add the R2000 that ends in IP.
Hope this helps someone. Epson support is a good enough reason to buy Epson IMO as mentioned with their help it took nearly 4 hours to reach the above solution at no cost to myself and believe you me i was on the verge of returning the printer to the supplier as Wireless printing is a must with a 19 month old child on the loose.
Thanks Epson/Europe

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...
