Printer driver for Epson printer not found

I have an Epson Stylus Color 860 printer. Epson apparently does not support this printer anymore, at least with Lion. I downloaded a driver from Gutenprint that seemed to do the trick. The only "problem" is that I get this message in the Printer Utility whenever I print.
Is there anything I can do about this? Or should I just leave well enough alone? Like I said. The printer seems to print just fine from both OS X 10.7.1 and 10.6.8.

It sounds like you may have a preference file left over from the Epson Stylus Color 860 printer.
1) Have you followed the directory path, /Library/Printers/Epson/CIOSupport, to see if the plug-in exists.
2) Check for a preference file named for the printer in  /Library/Preferences
3) Check for a preference file named for the printer in  ~/Library/Preferences
4) Check for an Epson print driver named for the printer in  ~/Library/Printers
If you find items in those locations from Epson for the Stylus Color 860 printer, move them to the Trash or a folder on the Desktop. See if the message goes away.
Be careful not to Trash any files related to the Gutenprint driver.

    my PC sign: driver for keyboard filter not found. what can i do?

    Hi:
    I don't think it is a big deal but let's see if we can find a driver for it.
    Please click on the missing keyboard filter in the device manager. Then click on the details tab. In the Properties drop down list, select the second item (Hardware ID's).
    Post  the top string of characters you see in the window.
    That will give me more information to go on.

  • Windows 7 in OS printer driver for Deskjet 6840 not printing properly

    The Windows 7 (32 bit) in OS print driver for the Deskjet 6840 produces print in "Normal" mode that is blurred (not properly registered left to right and slightly vertically). When printing in "Draft" mode it is apparent that the driver is not setting the left and right margins correctly, so that each line is alternately shifted left or right on the page. If I switch to a 500C driver, the printer works fine (but of course high res images do not print properly). This is occuring on two wired network computers, both running clean installs of Windows 7 professional with all current updates including Service Pack 1. Microsoft says, "It's a HP printer, it's their problem". I'm just looking for an answer. Anyone have experience with this?

    Hello Bhl3302,
    Thanks for posting at NI forums! I think you should follow RavensFan advice on contacting the vendor for information on the driver’s support, or if you have a readme file, you could check on that. Also, are the Windows XP and Windows sharing the same architecture (32 or 64 bits)? Maybe the driver is not compatible with one of them, in case it changed. I did a quick search on the error message you're getting, and I found this forum in which they give some steps you could follow regarding the INF file. For instance, in one of the comments, they say they had a similar issue with another device and they found some work arounds. 
    Best Regards,

  • 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?

  • Can't install printer driver for Epson Workforce 845 on Lion

    I can't seem install the printer driver for the Epson Workforce 845 on my MacBookPro running OS 7.2.
    I installed the software from Epson but the printer installer can't find it.

    I just finished installing an Epson Workforce 545 on Lion.  This info is valid as of early March 2012. The trick seems to be this: DON'T install using the CD that comes with the printer.  DON'T download the driver from Epson.
    First do an Apple Software Update to make sure the machine is up-to-date.  Then simply open the Printer & Scan preferences and add the Epson printer.  It will download the driver directly from Apple and you will be good to go.  If you do install the bad drivers from Epson, you have to remove the /Library/Printers/EPSON folder and also anything EPSON in the Cache folder, then start over.

  • Why doesn't my macbook recognize printer driver for Epson T13X? I am using Mountain Lion 10.8.2

    I just downloaded the driver for Epson T13x from Epson's website and after downloading the 22mb file and trying to install it, I get the error "dmg not recognized" or something like that.
    OS X 10.8.2
    Thanks in advance!

    It's a corrupt download. Try downloading it again.

  • Printer Driver for Epson Stylus R800 Printer Included with OS X 5 Leopard

    How many faulty drivers may there be included with OS X 5 Leopard?
    After installing OS X 5 Leopard I found that when using my Epson Stylus PHOTO R800 printer photograph prints and ordinary lettering were extremely feint and unusable.
    From the list of printers installed with OS X 5, as given in Apple "K"base Documents, I checked the version number of the driver for the Stylus Photo R800 and it was given as "SPR800 3.09 app"
    I next checked the latest driver specified by Epson on their website---it too was given as
    "SPR800 3.09 app".
    Despite this information I downloaded the "SPR800 3.09 app" from Epson and installed it and the problem was solved.
    I am writing this to inform others that despite the driver included with OS X 5 being specified as
    "SPR800 3.09 3.09" it certainly is not!!!
    The only answer is to use the latest version provided on the Epson website.

    Dear scb
    Many thanks for taking the time to reply to my post, you are so right in your remarks.
    Although I've been on Macs for around 25 years I hadn't come across something as blatant as this before---maybe I've been lucky!
    Your comment regarding the avoidance of software included with the product is very relevant particularly at the present time, so soon after the release of OS X 5 Leopard. There must be thousands of printers and the like which are being sold right now with software applicable to OS X 4 Tiger included with them.

  • Snow Leopard Updated Epson Printer Driver for Epson R800 - poor colour !

    I just installed through software update the latest epson printer drivers and, then, deleted the Epson R800 from my printer list and added it back in (with the new printer driver). I did find a slightly different printer dialog box and found the setting of "presets" worked now (it did not previously).
    However, when I printed out of Adobe Lightroom 2.6, using a custom paper profile and no colour management, that the print was faded, the colours were washed out. The result was unacceptable. After a few attempts, I looked in the Library folder, printers, epson and found two folders labeled, "inkjet printer" and "inkjet printer2". I determined that "inkjetprinter2" was the new folder and deleted it and deleted/added in my Epson r800 (using "inkjetprinter" folder. The resulting print was perfect.
    So, my conclusion is that the new driver is not functioning as it should and I would warn users to be prepared for problems. Am I missing something here? Could I have done the updating of the printer driver and printer differently?

    You may need to recalibrate you monitor color settings.
    One of the things that changed from 10.5 to 10.6 was gamma; if you are using calibration from 10.5 or earlier, the gamma change will throw off print colors.
    Personally, on my last 2 epson printers (R300, RX685), I've configured to let the printer color manage, and used the Vivid setting.
    Have not had any off colors, etc.

  • CD printer driver for Epson Stylus Photo R265

    Just bought an Intel iMac 20" together with a Epson Stylus photo R265. It should print CD's and DVD's but, every time I try to print these, it tells me that the CD printer driver has not been installed.
    After reinstalling the drivers from the cd which came together with the printer it still didn't print CD's. Also installing the drivers from the Epson website didn't do the job.
    After discussing this problem with people from the Epson helpdesk, they answered that the CD printing feature only works on powermacs and that Rosetta should do the trick on Intel based Macs. Knowing that Rosetta operates automatically in OS 10.4.8, this answer was unsatisfying.
    I now consider to buy a Canon printer but I am not sure if these printers (cd printer drivers) have the same problem with Intel based Macs.
    Does anyone know a proper solution?

  • Is it possible to create a printer driver for unsupported printer?

    I need to print to an IBM Infoprint 40. IBM has drivers for Classic, but not OS X. Can I somehow use the driver information in the classic file and make it into an OS X driver that Tiger can read/use?

    This printer is a postscript printer. You only need a .ppd file, not a driver. A .ppd file specifies page sizes, resident fonts, and if applicable, print dialog menu plugins. Unfortunately, OS 9 .ppds are not completely compatible with OS X because of different plugin architectures. It doesn't hurt to try the OS 9 .ppd, but it may not give you the options you expected. Windows .ppds are sometimes less dependent on plugins, and can be used in OS X.
    To use a .ppd that isn't "installed," choose model "Other," which gives you a file selector dialog, so you can go choose the .ppd file.
    Hope this helps.

  • No Print Settings for Epson printer

    I have an Epson 1400, and it was working fine this morning. I usually go to Print Settings to select my glossy paper. But just now, when I went to print, and tried to click the Print settings... button, nothing happens. I have tried using Software Update and installed the latest Epson Printer Software, and tested several other applications, and the printer is connected and working fine in those.
    This is PS 12.1 for Mac.
    Thanks

    Well, looks like I'm dumb. I misread Solution 1. It suggested that I Choose Printer Manages Color,  return to Photoshop Manages Color, and then choose Print Settings. This worked perfectly after I realized it meant PS couldn't use the printer to manage color in the case of my printer.
    Anyway, you saved my you-know-what!
    Thanks again,
    J.
