Printing from win XP to Mac with Epson HELP!

ok deep breath!
I have the EPSON CX6600 attached via usb to My G4 Powermac. I want to be able to print from XP to the printer . .
I've tried EVERYTHING! setting up is easy XP see's the printer wheather via Bonjour or CUPS, brilliant!! I print, it goes though and appears on the Mac in the printer jobs box . . nice! but (you knew there was a but didn't you!) its goes through without printing!! it tells me its printed and the job is done, but, it didn't, I know, because the printer didn't even hum, didn't light up and dance for me . . .I'm going mad, I need a solution!! HELP!!

I'm having the same trouble with my Epson RX500 - changing the driver to Apple Color Laser didn't help. I can print a test page, but when I try to print a document, the printer blinks once and then stops, and the Print Center says the job was printed.
The really frustrating part is that it worked fine a few days ago using the HP color laser driver!

  • Printing from WIN XP to MAC OS X using Bonjour

    Hi,
    I am trying to Print to my Powerbook using bonjour, with the printer connected to a WIN XP machine. I downloaded WIN Bonjour and installed it, but it seems as if this is more for people who have the printer connected to the MAC. Is there a way that I can keep my printer connected to my PC, and print on my MAC?
    I should mention that I have a CANON i560 and that Canon's drivers for the MAC don't seem to work for the printer. I print over the network and the text is shrunk, which is a driver issue. Is there any way to make Bonjour work with my PC?

    No you can't use Bonjour and the usual process won't work with the Canon drivers.

    However the Canon drivers usually don't work across a network in this way.
    It should work with the PrintFab Drivers (but these cost).

  • Print to PC only Printer from Win Lap. through Mac w/airport extreme?

    I've got an airport extreme connected to a mac g4 via ethernet, i can't add the printer i have(a dell 1100) to the mac in the printer utility, does that mean there is no way to print to the printer wirelessly from my PC laptop. I've got the PC to see the network and internet through the base station, but i dont see the printer? The base station finds the printer but will not add it because there is no dell driver in the pull down list, and apparently that printer is not mac compatible.
    thanks.

    but just to clarify, i do have the driver for the XP machine an have printed to the printer directly via usb before,
    This is usually a good idea.
    i have installed bonjour on the xp machine but it does not see the printer,
    Can the Airport Utility (either on the Mac or the PC) see the printer?
    there are no drivers or support for the dell printer for the mac as far as i've read. that's why i'm not sure if the xp machine will ever see it while hooked to the airport base, because the mac won't recognize it's there to add to the printer utility?
    The fact that there are no Mac drivers are irrelevant, as the Airport Extreme doesn't need drivers and that is what the printer is connected to.
    You can remove the Mac (throw it out of the window for example) and you will still be able to use your Airport Extreme.

  • Problems printing from Photoshop CS6 on Mac to Epson 9890

    Why when printing on this plotter, makes some blank spaces and intermittent lines? The heads were cleaned.  If someone knows about it, please let me know. Thanks.

    Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum, where you'll get more specialized help.
    To help others help you, please read through this article and provide any additional relevant details.

    Thank you for any suggestions!

    Thanks again for your suggestion about Photoshop crashing since
    trying to print with Yosemite. I did go to the Adobe site, then the Apple Apps,
    and downloaded the new driver for the Epson Workforce 40 printer. Computer
    restarted. Unfortunately, Photoshop still crashes. But I appreciate your idea, and
    seems it should have worked. Happy Holidays!

  • ???  I just installed Lightroom 5 from Amazon for my Mac with 10.10.1 software.  When I open it I get: "An error occurred when attempting to change modules".  It won't import photos and has no side panels under Library.  What should I do?

    I Nearly bought from Amazon too but I found a thread from Adobe stating that the only recognized outlet for lightoom is themselves and other outlets serial numbers will not be guaranteed.
    THat at was sufficient for me to buy direct from Adobe, hope you get it sorted.

  • Can I merge ical from old, non cloud Mac with new one?

    Can I merge ical from old, non cloud Mac with new one?
    I cannot sync from old G5 so if I backup that iCal, can I merge it with new iCal on my new Mac without losing new Mac calenday details?
    Thanks.
    Jeff

    Jeff,
    First, iCloud: How to back up iCloud data.
    Next, use iCal>File>Export>Export...for the calendar that you want to use for the export. Move the .ics file to your new computer, and double click the file. You will be offered a choice of creating a new calendar in iCloud, or importing to an existing calendar. Make the appropriate choice for your circumstances.

  • Why can't I print from my ipad 2 on my epson workforce 840 printer??? it show that there isn't a printer on my Ipad and my printer is wireless .

    why can't I print from my ipad 2 on my epson workforce 840 printer  ??? it show that there isn't a printer on my Ipad and my printer is wireless.

    The 840 isn't supported by Airprint.  See the list here:

    You may be able to use a universal printing app (check the app store), or Epson may make an app.  Or you could get a more up-to-date printer.

  • Printing from PPC G5 to Mac Mini with Epson 2200

    I'm having a terrible time, trying to figure out what went wrong with printing to my Epson 2200, using my brand new Mac mini as a print server, since I set up my new Mac mini this morning. I have an Epson Stylus Color 2200 USB printer attached to the Mini, and I am trying to print out of Photoshop CS3 from my ethernet networked Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5, using the mini as a print server.
    I put the Intel print driver for the Epson on the new mini and all the Epson print options are available and I can print fine from Photoshop on it. But, when I try to print from the G5, I don't have all the print options available for the Epson; specifically the Print Settings and Color Management option boxes from the Print dialog box, that are usually available when printing out of Photoshop to the Epson.
    I bought the mini to replace the old MDD G4 that I'd been using (with no printing problems) for years.
    Something happened to mess up my printing options since changing over to the mini, but I just can't for the life of me figure out what to do! Any suggestions would be very, very appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance.

    In case anyone else is having this same problem, I was given teh solution on the Adobe Photoshop User to User Forum:
    Try installing the latest appropriate version of the driver on both machines, and then manually drag the Library/Printers/Epson folder (the root Library folder, not the one in your Home folder) from the Intel machine to the same place on the PowerPC G5.
    This worked like a charm.

  • Printing from Win PC to a Mac Printer

    Hi all.
    I have an Epson R300 connected to the USB port of my iMac, and shared through the System Preferences -> Printer and Fax -> Sharing options, and a Win 2000 PC in local network with the iMac through the ethernet ports.
    The PC can see the iMac and exchange documents with it, but I am having problems when printing from the PC to the R300. That is, when I try to set up a network printer using Bonjour for Win, everything is OK, except that at the end of the procedure a message warns me that I have not the rights to use the printer. I am logged as administrator on both computers, which additional rights do I need. Also, I restored the disk privileges where some printer file access privileges were corrupted, but had no change.
    I also tryed to use the procedure suggested in MacHelp, but I don't know what a SBM/CIFS printer is and how to set up it on the PC.
    Thanks a lot for help. Regards.

  • Wireless printing problem with hp officejet 100 mobile printer from win 7 dell laptop

Must shut down laptop and shut off printer or hard wire and shut off bluetooth. down loaded lastest drivers to no avail. printer will print from cell phone and win 8 computer via bluetooth but not win 7 laptop.

    Sorry you are having problems with printing from the internet.  I have a few more questions to ask you before I can be of much assistance.
    What web-browser are you using?  
    Do you have any problems printing from Word or other non-internet documents?  
    What did you do to fix your computer (system restore, clean install of the OS, etc)?  
    Have you tried an alternate web-browser?
    Make sure to install all of your Microsoft updates to see if that helps.  Otherwise, answer those questions for me please and I will be happy to help.
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
    When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.
    Every problem has a solution!

  • WhenI print from firefox on a Mac everything comes out 50% too light, if I save the image and print from the desktop it looks fine. No problem either printing from FF with Win7. How do I fix FF on the Mac?

    My iMac runs bootcamp, so I have both OSX and win7 available. I run the latest Firefox on both as my primary browser. The printing looks like the ink is running low, but when the same image is printed from other desktop apps the printing looks fine.

    Hi, Jordan -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    If the original drive in the newer Mac is a Western Digital, its jumpers may be set to Single, which WD drives often use when there is only one device on the bus. When a second drive is added, the jumpers on the original must be reset to Master.
    OS 9's utility is named Drive Setup - you should find it in the Utilities folder on the hard drive. Run that. Select the added hard drive in the list, then select Mount Volume from the Functions menu.
    You can also check with that utility to see if the OS believes the drive has been set to automount at boot. Again, select the drive in the list. Then select Volume Settings from the Functions menu - there's a checkbox in that screen to set automount (for freshly initialized drives, that's turned on by default).
    Also, try running Disk First Aid (should also be in the Utilities folder). Let it have a look at the second drive, and repair anything it can.
    Apple System Profiler should report the format of all drives it sees. Is the format of the drive from the old Mac stated as Mac OS Standard, or as Mac OS Extended?
