Printing to an Epson RX580 via Windows XP

I am trying to print to an Epson Stylus Photo RX580 that is hooked up to a windows XP machine. The printer works great when hooked up directly to the the MAC via usb but when trying to print through windows it just prints wierd text or blank pages. The Printer is not listed in the drop down box and I didn't see the RX580 on PrintFab. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Do you know which other (older) model it is related to?
It isn't yet listed in the newest Gutenprint set either. I'd download the latest Gutenprint, 5.0, and try the nearest model driver in that.

Printing to HP PSC 1610 via Windows XP

I have an HP PSC 1610 All-in-One printer connected to a Windows XP machine and is setup to be shared across the wireless network. I can see and add the printer on my MacBook Pro using the drivers that came with the printer and I able to print to it but when a document is printed, only garbage comes out. Any ideas how I can fix that?

TS3147 connect OS X 10.9.2 macbook air to windows 7 network and share printer (Brother HL-2230) connected via USB to the same network

Would like to share printer Brother HL-2230 on windows 7 network. Using Windows 7 "Homegroup" is not an option.
The printer (HL-2230) is connected via USB to win 7 computer. Before I updated OS to 10.9.2 it (Macbook air) had HL-2230 as one of its' priinters and was able to print. Now a print request hangs on "Hold for authentication".
I have already reset printer system and re-installed printer x2 - no luck.
I have already connected WiFi Epson XP-200 to the Macbook air - runs fine, no problem.
thx for any help that can lead to the resolution of this problem.

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop and and HP Win 7 laptop (my wifes) print to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I have the latest driver installed. No problem when I had a Canon...

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop is running the network, and my wife's HP Win 7 laptop prints to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I do have the latest driver installed. I didn't have a problem when I had a Canon Pixma on the network, but when I replaced it with the Epson nothing seems to work. I go to add a printer to the queue and only the FAX function of the printer shows up - not the WS-4530 print function. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Please??? :-)

Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
Start with the section titled Check the network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely,

Pages '09 and an Epson RX580 printer

I just made the jump to an IMac. I have run into an issue with printing envelopes with my Epson RX580 printer. I downloaded and installed the newest drivers that are available for Leopard from the Epson site for this printer. When I try to print envelopes, either an imported Word doc or one that I created from a template I have 2 problems. The envelope looks fine on the screen but when I print it the first issue is that it has to be rotated 180 degrees from what the printer manual says and my experience with MS Word is. Second of all, the left side of the return address is truncated and it prints lower on the envelope than expected. I have not changed any of the default setting for Pages. I did try playing around with margin settings. I eventually fixed the truncation but the envelope looked bad - text was too far to the right and too low.
If this has been answered, I missed it an do apologize.
Thanks,
Jeff

Sorry, I was away for a couple of days. When I start from a scratch and use an envelope emplate, I am assuming that the margins are being set by the template. When I view the image on the screen it looks correct. When I print the envelope its off by a little (ok enough to be annoying) not by a lot. If I go to inspector/page set up the page attribute setting is #10 envelope (4 1/8 x 9 1/2) which is the correct size for the envelope. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Jeff

How do I print 4x6 photos on an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus via Windows Photo Viewer or Gallery

Dear Experts, I've got an HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer with just one paper tray in which I loaded 4x6 photo paper.
The printer was purchased in January 2014, the latest drivers are installed. Now I would like to print a single 4x6 photo using Windows Photo Viewer or Gallery.I loaded the 4x6 photo paper into the tray as indicated by the little icon labeled 4x6in, so I suppose I got the HW part right. It's just the SW part which gives me a hard time. The available paper size options in Windows Photo Viewer and Gallerydon't include photo paper sizes, just the standard paper and envelope sizes.Hence I checked in the HP Printer Assistant in "Set Preferences" what kind of paper sizes are available, and there is exactly the same list as proposed by Gallery, missing photo paper sizes. So I guess Gallery just picks the sizes from the driver and ther are no photo paper sizes. This is an issue because I prefer to print from my PC using Win 7 or Win 8 and not from a SD card or a USB stick. Any help is very welcome, thank you in advance!

Thank you for this link! Actually I installed a brand new Windows 8 system in January 2014 and then bought the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer a few days later. To install this printer I did not use the CD that came with it but already used this link. Just to be sure that I have the latest version I again reinstalled the driver. The result is definitive: You cannot print common photo paper sizes like 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, etc. via a PC using photo SW like HP Photo Creations, MS Gallery, Windows Photo Viewer or any other SW on a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. The reason is most likely that HP marketing decided that an Officejet should not be smart enough for photos, after all the company sells also Photosmarts. Because you cannot create your own formats you are limited by the driver to what is typically available in an office, in this case: A4, Letter, legal, Statement, Executive, A4, A5, A6, B54 (JIS), Envelopes #10-DL-C5-C6-A2-Monarch, Japanese Postcard, Japanese Envelope Chou #3-#4, L, 2L, O**bleep**u hagaki, Index Card Letter-A4, Edge-to-Edge Letter-A4, Env. Japanese No 3-No 4 and that's it, not more. Thank you anyway for trying to help me but in this case only the SW developers in HP can help.It would be great to be able to print from time to time a 4x6 photo on this printer like I would do.Copying photos on a USB stick or on a SD card first and then use this way to print on the printer is too cumbersome for me.

Windows Printing to a Epson Printer on an eMac.

I have a Windows XP computer that I am trying to get to print to an Epson printer that is connected over the network on an eMac computer.
My other Mac computers can print to the eMac printer just fine, but when I try to add the printer to a Windows XP computers, it scans the network for the printer and finds the eMac, but does not see a printer connected to it.
Ideas?

Hi
While this link mentions Tiger, I think the same would apply for Panther.

I have a fairly new 27" iMac running Mac OS10.6.7, I'm trying to print to an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 via an in-house wireless network. I have installed the latest Epson drivers.

I have a fairly new iMac running OS 10.6.7. Im trying to print to an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 via an in-house wireless internet. I have installed the latest drivers. It was working a couple of months ago. My wife is on the same network using a MacBook Pro and the same OS and is having no problem.

I have been using an Epson 3800 with my I Mac for four years and up untill I upgraded to OSX Lion the only problem I had was colour issues associated with some ICC profiles. After upgrading to Lion and downloading the latest OSX update (10th May) I could not print.
One of the problms was that the print settings continuously defaulted to:
Page Setup: Sheet Feeder
Media Type: Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster
I would change the settings to what I wanted, I saved them selected Print. My printer promptly started changing from Matte ink (what I had set my print setting s for) to Photo Black.
After trying all i could to correct this. I finally gave up and rang the Epson Helpline. After 3 telephone calls over a day and a half during which I was talked through the procedure you described, the problems were still not resolved.
My contact on the Epson Helpline then tried to simulate the problem on his MAC. He discovered that he had the same problem the print settings would not save, albeit on a Epson 3880 driver. He then advised me that the problem was not with thw Epson Drivers it was a MAC/Apple problem.
I then rang the Apple Helpline (at £1.35 a minute) described the problem and was eventually put through to a supervisor. Who asked me to send her a set of screen shots describing the problem, This I have done, I have received an acknowledgement of receipt and have been advised that I should get a response within two working days.
I am waiting hopefully.
I have tried to print both via CS5 and Aperture the problem is the same in both instances.

Elements 11 will not print to my epson stylus r1800 printer after upgrading from windows 8 to 8.1

Elements 11 will not print to my Epson stylus r1800 printer after upgrading to windows 8.1 from windows 8

I cant access any printers, not even the virtual printers.
What I would do is use ProcMon to find out why that Event entry was written. Then I imagine I would get a clue about a .dll which might be involved, which hopefully might be registerable. Since IE9 there have been new .dll involving printing
which have not been reflected in any of our repair tools. However, instead of modifying our old scripts to reflect this fact, I have been advocating, so far unsuccessfully, that Microsoft create a proper IE Repair tool, one which does not rely on such
unreliable techniques. E.g. a better method of repairing would be to have it done by a proper troubleshooter (an .msdt file) but so far it seems nothing has been done in that way for these symptoms (again, assuming the cause is registry corruption
and not simple interference from now incompatible third-party programming--the fix for that would be to identify and remove the incompatibilities.) For example.

My iMac (OS 10.7.4) has suddenly stopped printing to my Epson CX4800 printer through Airport Extreme, although it will print if connected via USB. Meanwhile, my MacBook (OS 10.5.8) prints still prints wirelessly. Please help.

May iMac (OS 10.7.4) has suddenly stopped printing to my Epson CX4800 printer through Airport Extreme, though my MacBook (OS 10.5.8) continues to function just fine). The iMac will print if it is connected to the printer directly via USB. The iMac continues to connect to the Internet wirelessly. I've tried resetting the printer and ensuring the driver is up to date, but no joy.
Any suggestions?

Thank you for your kind consideration of my problem. Up until the software started to print blank pages the preview pane always showed the selected print within the selected layout. Something has changed. Lightroom will print to the JPEG file but only a blank page on the Epson 2880. I've been in contact with Epson support and an IT tech and they tell me the problem is with Lightroom. I'm at my wits end and thinking of upgrading but the glitch may carry over. Uninstalling and reinstalling and deleting the preferences file did nothing to rectify the situation.
Thanks again!

Aperture printing with black horizontal lines on Epson RX580

Hi all,
I've recently converted to a Mac and Aperture after decades on PCs. I just printed my first pictures with Aperture on my old Epson RX580, and they have thin but distinct black horizontal lines. About 3-4 evenly spaced lines on an 8x10.
It's possible that my printer is just dying. I did the nozzle test and the alignment test and cleaned the nozzles a bunch of times. But the lines are still there.
I'll try to print from another computer (to confirm that it's the printer), but is anyone familiar with this? Could it be something in the Aperture settings or in the way it talks to the printer?
Thank you.

Hi
I've recently notice I have a thin black line in my screen.. I went to Apple store and was told it’s a hardware problem (400$+ to fix as no warranty).
This is the second time I’m having hardware screen issues with a Macbook Air (last time it was 3 months after I bought it, and it was replaced with this one)
Looks like the Macbook Air screens are very problematic! Anyone experience something like that?
Thanks,
Eyal.

Adding an Epson RX580 printer

Just got a Mac mini, I had an a PC and the Epson RX580 worked great with it. I set up the Mac mini and it shows it in the printer list but won't let me add it as a printer. I've gone to Epsons website to get the latest mac software down load. It allowed me to finally print but only on a small row on the left side of the paper. Can anyone point me in the right direction of what needs to be done?

Teknogroovin-
My guess is that nobody had a good answer for you.
So what was the solution?

Accessing printer via windows 8 pc

I am attempting to connect to a Sumsung Laser ML 1660 printer using the Airport as a printer server, my other computers on Windows 98 and 7 work fine, but just do not seem to be able to see the printer and connect to it.

There is no bonjour for windows 8 yet.. this is required to access apple network resources on the PC.
You might be able to share it from the windows computer.. 98 that is going back some..
