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.

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

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.

HT1338 My G5 PowerPC still works great, but what is the latest OS that is possible. I just bought a new HP Printer and it is not compatible with OS 10.4. Is there any hope?

A PPC G5 cannot run any version of OS X beyond Leopard 10.5.8.
You should be able to find a Leopard retail (black) install disk on eBay. A grey update disk is machine specific and won't work.

Epson Artisan 730 Printer and iMac

I have installed a new Epson Artisan 730 printer onto my iMac running Mac OS X ver 10.7.5. When I try to print documents from Mail or Adobe Reader X Version 10.1.4 the printer spits out a blank page. I can print from Word and Excel with no problems.

HP Smart web printing is very useful web printing extension which is not compatible with any version of firefox till now but compatible with Internet Explorer any version. So Please do correction. Thanks

[There is a link below from where software can be downloaded and after installing this you will see that it is not compatible with any version of Mozilla Firefox of any Window version (7, XP).]

It is up to HP to make that program compatible with Firefox.
That application last worked in Firefox 3.5, but HP was always very lax in updating it for a new version of Firefox. Usually they didn't bother to update it until like halfway through the "run" of a particular Firefox version. It worked for like 6 months and then a new version of Firefox was released, and it didn't work for like 6 months until HP got around to fixing it - then the cycle repeated.

Printing in Word with Epson Artisan 730

I am posting for a friend, so I hope I have enought information. The Epson Artisan 730 seems to be working in MS Word because a document in US letter size prints properly. When I prepared a 16 cm x 23 cm. document and set up the printer as "other sizes" the print preview looks correct but the paper goes through and nothing is printed on it. Has anyone had this problem? Is it in the printer setup or in Word?
She said that her Mac version is OS X 10.9.2. Thanks for any suggestions about things to try.

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 would like to print from my iPad wirelessly to an epson artisan 835 printer

I would like to know if I can print wirelessly from both an iPad 4 and an iPad air to an epson artisan 835 printer. So far I have not been able to make it happen. The list of printers does Not include the 835. I would rather buy an additional printer than get into AirPort Extreme if that's what it takes.

If you want to print directly from an iPad you need an AirPrint printer. Otherwise there are workaround options that involve varying degrees of expense and / or inconvenience.

HP 802 Black ink cartridge not compatible with HP Deskjet 1050 Printer - J410a [Model: CH346A].

I am Sharjil Ahmed from Kolkata, India, and had bought theHP Deskjet 1050 All-in-One Printer - J410a [Product Model: CH346A] from an online shopping website www.crazeal.com on 18 December, 2011, where the product information consisted that I will be provided HP 62 small black ink cartridge HP 62 small tri-color ink cartridge along with the product. However, the box consisted of HP 61 small black ink cartridge HP 61 small tri-color ink cartridge.
I also registered my product on 03 January, 2012, and found out that the ink cartridges which are compatible with my printer are HP 802 Black ink cartridge (CH563ZZ) and purchased the same, but when i tried to take a printout a message appeared that HP 802 Black ink cartridge is not compatible. Hence I had contacted the HP service centre of our area where I was informed that the cardridges compatible with my printer is HP 61 only and the hardware of my printer does not support HP 802.
Please help as I have not been able to find HP 61 anywhere in my locality.

Hi sharjilahmed,
The 802 cartridges are the correct ones for your region. If you purchased the printer from a Region other than India you will need to contact technical support, so they can assist you with getting the region changed on the printer. Contact numbers for India support below.

OS 10.6.8 upgrade not compatible with Canon iR8070 copier print engine

Upgraded my Intel iMac to OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, finally. I am networked to a Canon iR8070 printer/copier and everytime I print to this machine I pauses the job. Canon says that they no longer support this OS and I was wondering if anyone has found a workaround, generic print engine that may work so I don't have to pdf the file and take it to another printer to print?

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:

P.S. Epson tech support for consumer printers has always been worse than useless. Specialized support for the pro printers is pretty good.

Contact Epson and check for updates to the printer driver.
Epson is having a lot of problems with drivers on MacOS 10.9, even though their drivers work just fine on MacOS 10.7 and 10.8.

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.
