Problems Adding Printer, Epson XP-410

Hoping you can help. I'm on an iMac OSX 10.7.5. Bought a Epson XP-410 and have downloaded most current install package from Epson. Installed the printer which is now not showing up on my list of printers to add as the default. The printer is showing that it is connected to my WiFi, and it would seem that my WiFi is configured correctly. It would also appear, after checking, that my computer's software is up to date. I am definitely missing something by way of troubleshooting this, but I don't know what that is. Any ideas welcomed and appreciated.

Hello, Padules.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are some troubleshooting steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.

Epson Photo R320 - problems adding printer

I turned on my printer / mac as always this morning and got an error when trying to print. I deleted the printer and tried to add it again and got this error on the printer list / add window:
An error occurred while trying to add the selected printers.
Successful-ok-conflicting-attributes.
Can some PLEASE help!!

Not that I have that particular model, but here is something to check out.
On Epson's web site they have provided updated drivers for my model which is a R1800. There were two, one for Intel Macs and another for PPC macs.
Perhaps they have updated drivers for your R320.
Hope this helps.

Problems adding my Epson C1100 using Bonjour

Hi all,
I have my APE running perfectly and my printers also perfectly running. Last week I had to shut down my network because I am rebuilding my studio. I kept on working on my MAC but deleted my printer.
Right now I need the printer and I try to add it. Bonjour fond the printer and everything, but when I klik add I get the "beachball". I am waiting now for 8 hrs and stil no printer is added.
On my Windows machine evrything works just fine!
So what is the problem?? How do I get my printer working on my MAC?

I jusr like to add that I am running OS 10.4.4 on a iMac G5 and trying to print to an Epson C1100.
I can use the printer setup utility to set up and print to this printer just fine when it is direct connected via USB.
However, when I try to add this same printer via Bonjour hooked up to an airport express, print setup utility sees the printer just fine, indicates that it is connected to my airport, and detects the drivers (the "Print Using" drop down list in the add printer dialog box, after waiting for a period.
I installed the drivers again, old and new ones. Still nothing. I also downgaded my firmware of APE to 6.1.1, still nothing. Also back to 6.3 doesn't help out.
The worst is that it worked a fewe weeks ago. When I unplugged my APE for a while and went back to work and tried to add my printer this all happened!
I'm about to tear my hair out...

Printing problem with printer EPSON 1070+

Hi ,
I am printing Document using SAP smartforms on EPSON 1070+ Printer. The device type used for task is EPESCP.
Page foramt I am using is DIN3.
When print is taken on specified printer it is printing all content of document in one font and not in the font which has been attached part of text.Document is display properly(text in different fonts) in print preview,but output on actual printer comes differently.
What should be done to correct problem ?
Thanks in advance,
Amit R

Hi Amit,
Have you checked by printing Word document on same printer??...
If the right part of the paper still left blank, then margin setting of the printer in windows has problem,
Otherwise check it in SPAD only.
Also check your Margin settings at printer.

Audy

My solution: Problem with printer Epson WF 2530 (rastertoescpll)

Hi guys,
actually I start this discussion just to give you my solution, in order to help the others who could get this problem like me.
I tryed to do different thing, resecting pram, deleting all printer drivers and reinstannig them, but it didn't work anyway, untill I did what I'm gonna say.
So, this is my solution:
A)     Remove:
          1) The printer from Settings - Print and Fax
          2) All the files in /Library/Printers/Epson folder
          2) All the files in /Library/Cache/Epson folder
B)     After that, I restarted my iMac and I had resected pram, then I downloaded the drivers package from here: http://support.apple.http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1398com/kb/dl1398
         But hold on, because after doing it, it didn't work yet and the display gave me the following message, again:
          /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rasteroespll.app
          [etc.]
Then
C)     I removed file rastertoescpll.app from the folder: /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/
D)     I downloaded drivers package from this link: http://www.epson.it/it/it/viewcon/corporatesite/products/mainunits/driver/11988/ 15/374452
        and I had installed it WITHOUT REMOVING THE DRIVERS I DOWNLOADED BEFORE on point B
And now it works!
PS: I use Mac OS X 10.8.4
Hope this will be useful!

You need to reset the TC to factory and start over.. the old setup is locking the TC out of your new system. TC remember too much even with hardware reset.. the full factory is the way to go.
No files are lost doing this.
Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
Note..
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Redo the setup.. using the airport utility from one of the computers.
I strongly recommend you do not use the names Apple utility will suggest.. use SMB names as Mavericks is now set to SMB network protocol by default.
So names should be short.. less than 10 characters is excellent.. keep it to less than 20max.
No spaces.
Pure alphanumeric. No apostrophe.

Problem with printing (Epson Stylus Pro 4800)

All of a sudden, my black and white photos are printing in sepia tone. I have Photoshop CS3 and an Epson Sylus Pro 4800. Interestingly, in the printer profile drop-down menu, it used to say "Pro 4800 PLPP". Now it defaults to "Working RGB - sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1". I suspect it has something to do with Color Settings... but I didn't change anything. Please help!!! Thank you in advance.

HP Officejet 5610: Problem Adding Printer via USB

Hello. I am trying to print via USB on a HP Officejet 5610. My Mac has detected it via USB. I tried to add it by "Default Printer." I got the model "HP" but could not find the model "Officejet 5610" for the gimp-print. I tried a few random models to print but none of them work. Could someone help me please? I do not have the installation CD. This is not my house. The person who owns the printer is usually not home and his computer locked.
Thank you.

Disconnect the printer. Remove references to it from print and scan in system preferences. Remove the HP folder from /Library/Printers. Reconnect it. Try again. It should dowwnload drivers.

Problem adding EPSON USB printer

I contacted Epson's support about this, then did what they told me to in the reply. As you can probably tell since I'm posting this, it didn't work. Here is the email I sent:
"No matter what I do I cannot get EPSON USB to show up under More Printers in Apple's Printer Utility. I can add the regular driver for the printer to my printers list just fine, but when I try to go into More Printers > EPSON USB to add the Border less and Minimized margins (like I had done previously on a PPC based Mac) the option for EPSON USB from the pull down menu doesn't show up. It only shows EPSON FIREWIRE and EPSON TCP/IP. I have tired reinstalling the driver, resetting the printer system and restarting. I have even reinstalled the whole operating system, but even on a fresh install (and the newest driver installed) EPSON USB still didn't show up in the pull down menu. Please help, I need to get border less printing working again.
I am using a Core2Duo MacBook Pro, Epson Stylus Photo 820, The newest version of the driver (downloaded January 1, 2007), and Mac OS X 10.4.8."
Here is what they returned and what I did:
"Thank you for contacting the Epson Connection.
If you are unable to add your printer even after a complete cleanout and
reinstall, please try the following steps to correct this issue.
1. Open Printer Setup Utility (HD > APPLICATIONS > UTILITIES).
2. At the top of the screen, click the words "Printer Setup Utility" and
choose "Reset Printing System" from the pull-down menu. Confirm resetting.
3. All existing printer listings will be deleted. Try adding your Epson
printer again.
This reset makes the operating system clear all jobs and queues and
reconnect to printer drivers currently in the system.
If the printer's plug-in still cannot be selected to ADD, try the following
as well:
1. Begin on the desktop with no windows open or applications running.
2. Go to FILE and down to FIND.
3. In the SEARCH IN option, select EVERYWHERE.
4. Under SEARCH FOR ITEMS WHOSE select NAME and CONTAINS from the drop
down menu.
5. In the search field type COM.APPLE.PRINT and click FIND.
6. Drag ALL the entries that it finds to the TRASH and empty it. Repeat
steps 2-5 to search again and confirm that all COM.APPLE.PRINT files were
removed. (The second search should have no results. If it does, drag the
results to the trash, empty the trash, and repeat the search a final time.)
7. Restart the computer and go back to the Printer Setup Utility to add
the printer. (Note: The COM.APPLE.PRINT preference files will be re-created
upon restart.)
8. After selecting ADD, you will receive a message stating "NEW PRINTER
DRIVERS DETECTED, WOULD YOU LIKE TO RELOAD THE BROWSER?" Click YES.
We would recommend reinstalling the driver and trying to add the printer.

I'm having problems, too--- my Mac IBoook G4 10.4.8 does not "see"my new Epson flatbed color 58000 dream machine. Now iBook does see the Epson USB cord but not what's at the end of it....
Okay so maybe what has yet to help me, may help you:
I repaired permissions and wow-- there were permissions to repair
I downloaded the shareware, Printer Setup Repair which told me:
"18 missing files/directories found during the verification process. They may be responsible for certain printing problems. Printer Setup Repair cannot replace these items. Please refer to the log file for a list of the missing files/directories. You may need to reinstall OS X to resolve your printing issues. "
I know you did the reinstall (I so don't want to do that, hoping there is some way to just reinstall the printer utility) but perhaps the premissions repair
and maybe even the disk verification may help?
Printer Setup Repair told me things I didn't know-- perhaps it would assist you, too?
Good luck to us. A friend suggested that I may neeed another USB cable---
while my EPSON utility sees the printer, my Mac utility doe not and it may be
about some peculiarities of the USB cable.
Best of luck,

Can't print- 27" 2013 iMac-my epson stylus 3800 pro will not print-i updated driver n added printer in syst prefs-When i print the printer queue opens and shows the job as "stopped"-Supply level "information is not available"-maybe part of problem...thx

I can't print from my 27" late 2013 iMac. I am using an epson stylus 3800 pro. I updated driver and added printer in system preferences. When i print the printer queue opens and shows the job as "stopped". Supply level shows "information is not available which maybe part of problem...thank you

The first thing you could try is a reset of the printing system. Please note that this action will remove all printers and scanners from the Printers & Scanners preference pane.
With the reset complete, unplug the Epson USB cable from the Mac for a minute and then reconnect it. This action should result in the printer being added again to the Mac automatically. If this does happen, then see if you can print again.
If the printer is not added again automatically, open Printers & Scanners and click the plus button to add the Epson. Once this is done, then see if you can print again.

Problem with Latest Epson Printer Driver Update

I installed the Epson printer driver update that came out today, but it made absolutely no difference. My Epson printer is still using a the same old Epson driver plus Gutenprint. There is no other option. I don't get it. What's the point of installing the update if the printer is still stuck with Gutenprint? My printer (Epson Stylus Photo R340) is supported according to Apple's list.

Thanks for that tip, John. I found the "Epson SP R340 series" driver by searching for it as you suggested.
Happy to help Alan.
HOWEVER, I cannot print with this driver. I get the following error message when I try to print:
Error: Library/Printers/EPSON/InketPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpll.app/Contents/MacOS/r astertoescpll failed
This seems common with the Epson drivers, there are several posts here with that problem. Some users have had success deleting the printer from Print & Fax Prefs and adding it again using the Epson (non-Gutenprint) driver. Others have had to delete the <hard drive>/Library/Printers/EPSON and /Library/Caches/Epson folders, re-download the update, then re-add the printer.
I would try the first one first since it's the easiest and you already have the update installed. If that doesn't work, the second should.
Hope this helps.

Hi, I have a problem with my Epson Stylus NX420. I had it connected and it worked fine but then all of a sudden it just stopped. It said it was offline, but it wasn't. So I tried to reinstall the printer, so i deleted it and clicked the button to add

Hi, I have a problem with my Epson Stylus NX420. I had it connected to my computer, and it worked fine. But I preformed a remodel and before the printer was connected to a windows desktop, and now it is not. I don't know if this could the be the cause of the problem. But I tried to print something and it showed me the printer as offline, but it wasn't. Thus to try to fix this, as I have done before I deleted the printer and tried to add it again. But as I went to add it, the printer was not there. I have searched the internet for an answer and I have found nothing. I do not understand why this has happened, nor how to fix it. Please help me.

Because you had the printer connected to Windows, the print queue on your Mac was for this connection. With you moving the printer away from the Windows computer, the print queue on the Mac will no longer work and will show offline. So for the new connection of the printer you have to create a new print queue.
Now the question is; how is the printer connected to the Mac. If it is connected by USB to the Mac then it should appear in the Default Add Printer view. If it is connected to the Mac via some other method, then could you reply with how it is connected.
If it is connected to the Mac by USB then the most likely cause for the printer not appearing in the Default Add Printer view is thenUSB printer cable. So try disconnecting it and reconnecting it or even try another USB printer cable.

Problem adding HP J6400 all-in-one printer

We have an HP Officejet J6400 all-in-one printer here at work, and all of our computers have had no problem adding this printer except one: an older iMac, PowerMac 6.1 (with the white domed base). The driver is installed, and the computer sees the driver, but when I click to add it eventually it gives me this error:
"An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. client-error-not-authorized"
I was on the phone with HP for an hour and they couldn't figure it out on their end. Has anyone had a similar problem, or have a solution?

Photoshop suddenly does not print to Epson 3880 - PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop After restart error message appears: - "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopen

PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop
After restart error message appears:
— “There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.”
• All print commands are greyed out and unavailable — even to call up the printer commands cannot be done.
The printer printed fine until about 2 weeks ago when this error message appeared. Printing continues from Pages, I-photo, preview etc. — only Photoshop fails.
The printer has been turned on and off, as have open documents been closed and open etc.. Preferences reset. Repeatedly I have read through blogs and forums and attempted to contact Adobe — all without results
Epson support struggled to find reason and several solutions were tried and they assume this is an Adobe problem.
Running Mac Powerbook X 10.10.2 / Photoshop CS6 13.0.6.x64
Attempting unsuccessfully to print to Epson 3880
What Adobe support will be of help.

Epson print profile problem. Prints overexposed.

I am doing something wrong so here it goes. I was printing on Epson semi gloss paper and all was fine. I switched to Epson Premium Glossy paper, switch to what I think is the proper printing profile according to the Epson website, but now when I print all my photos are overexposed. On the screen they look fine. I have tried to adjust using Aperture but it appears I cannot adjust enough to make a difference. My printer is an Epson R2400, I believe all my drivers are up to date, as well as my Mac software. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I am pretty sure there is a bug in Aperture, because I can get perfect prints from Preview or almost any other app, but with Aperture 2.1.1 and Mac OS X 10.5.5, my colors are off. Note, my problem is prints are too dark, not too light, and my prints from Aperture have a green cast.
After struggling with this for a while, I think I have a work around. I posted it here: http://blogs.oreilly.com/aperture/2008/06/printing-tips.html. Copied below, for your convenience. I hope it helps.

I am using a Epson R1900 (which is a huge improvement from my Epson Stylus Photo 870). I have a calibrated display, and colors are on very good on the display.
I use the latest printer driver from Epson. NOT the Gutenprint, gimp, or cups print drivers. I tried those, and was not pleased.
Here is my workflow and settings.
Select Print (image, book, whatever) to get the printer dialog. Select your printer. Then (this is important), select ColorSync Profile = SystemManaged.
Now, hit the print setting button. Select the driver specific setting from the pop-up menu. On an Epson, it is called "Print Settings". Then select your paper type, color= color, 16bits, color settings= 'Off (No Color Adjustment)', print quality, and speed. If you have advanced settings, check those. My advanced setting tells me the name of my colorsync profile. Very handy if you are going to calibrate your printer for different papers.
Now everything is set up. It should print fine. But is doesn't. At least in Aperture. So, hit Preview in the main print dialog box. That should send a PDF temporary file to Preview. In Preview, select print. Now do all the settings again.
In Preview, there is a "Color Matching" setting on the popup menu. Select Color Matching, ColorSync (as opposed to EPSON Color Controls). I select profile "Automatic" which gives the same profile noted above under advanced settings.
Now, finally, you can print. And the prints look great.
From any application besides Aperture, the colors are so good on the print, I did not even bother to calibrate the printer. The stock profiles are perfect. Using the work around above, I also get excellent color.
Using Aperture, with either the colorsync profile selected in Aperture, or using System Managed, I get poor results. Too dark with a green cast. But by sending the print to Preview first, I am able to work around the bug.
