Scanning wirelessly with Epson printer and OS 10.6.4

Cannot scan wirelessly with Epson NX515 and 10.6.4. Will print, but not scan. Will only scan with ethernet connection and using Image Capture app.
Error message indicates No Connection. But there is a connection because I can print wirelessly.
Thank you.

Welcome to Apple Discussions Ella.
Epson Support indicate that you must install Apple's Rosetta software - available from the installation disk for SL. In addition they indicate a communication problem which they are working on but I don't know how old this message is, ie how well they keep their website updated, nor do I know whether this affects wireless communication for scanning.
Epson also indicate that some of their supplied software comes from other companies and you might need to download updates from those companies directly. This might apply to the scanning software or a component of it. They do give web links for this.
I don't know how compatible this model is with wireless scanning but there is a note about making sure that the wireless settings allow the a/b settings as it's not able to operate through the n setting. I imagine that the settings are usually set for compatibility.
You should use Software Update to ensure you have the latest Epson software.
Note that scanning seems to put greater demands on the network than printing.

Elements 13 scanning slides with Epson 4990

I can scan my slides with Elements 9 but not with Elements 13 - any suggestions?

If you have a 64 bit windows system you will need to use WIA. In 32 bit win or the mac version, you need to install the TWAIN plugin:

The file paths are the same in PSE 13; just substitute 13 where it says 11.

Problem in Multisim with transient analysis and initial conditions

Hello everyone,
I have a problem in multisim with transient analysis and initial conditions.
If I do transient analysis with automatically determined initial conditions the circuits works.
If I do transient analysis with user-defined initial conditions the circuits works in cases.

Namely, if I combine the resistor and my custom component in one circuit, transient analysis with user defined initial conditions gives an error (timestep too small).

If possible, please post the Multisim file. This way, I can get access to all your settings.

Problem scanning docs with Samsung SCX-4300 with OS 10.4.11

On my 1.86ghz Intel Duo running OS 10.4.11, I installed the print and scan drivers for the Samsung SCX-4300 multi printer. At least I believe I did, cause I can print fine. And in Image Capture, I can see the SCX-4300, and can see an overview of the page that I want to scan. But the scan button itself, never turns from grey to black, so I can't activate the command to scan in Image Capture. Any ideas?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Sometimes click and drag from top left to bottom right let's you highlight the area of the page you want the scan to appear in on some scanning software, and that then enables the scan button. Have you tried that? Note: I don't have your particular scanner.
Some scanners have a scan button on the scanner, and that offers on an LED display the option to scan to document. That should activate software on the Mac if the scanner software is known to be 10.4.11 compatible.

Problem with Epson Printer and Time Capsule

I have a new Time Capsule, already gone through first backup etc... I tried to connect my 2 month old Epson RX 680 to the TC via USB. I have tried everything and still cannot print wirelessly. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted both TC and printer, running out of ideas. Any suggestions why I can't print wirelessly?
BTW, works fine with USB from printer directly into macbook pro.

I attempted this routine with my Epson R380 and this did not help. I do have a working HO OfficeJet 6210xi working off Time Machine. I'm wondering if an expert with CUPS can help determine the problem from the logs?

Major printing problem with Epson R1800 and 1.5

I have an Epson R1800 and Aperture 1.5
Any page that I try to print borderless has a quarter inch border around 2 edges. I've tried to calibrate but the two borders are way outside what the calibrate option can deal with.
This happens on all paper sizes. There is no option that I can find anywhere to fix this.
Every other app prints just fine, including iPhoto. It seems limited to Aperture.
Thanks, Bill

Behold the power of asking a question.
It fixed itself.
I have no idea how or why. But after 3 hours of working, it fixed itself in less than 5 minutes.
Thanks, Bill

Epson scanner and image capture: blank white image

I've been trying to make an epson perfection 1670 scanner work on an iMac running 10.6.4
Since epson no longer specifically supports this model I am going to Image Capture and the epson drivers supplied by Apple. I have downloaded/installed the updated drivers twice (once via software update and once manually from apple support).
I can get image capture to recognize the scanner and perform preview and full scans.
The frustrating thing is that the image generated is completely blank; a white page. I have tried using the scanner and image capture on two other mac's (macBook pro, macBook) both running 10.6.4 and both of these produce the same white page (although they do recognize the scanner).
I thought the scanner may have finally broken so i tested it on another (old) iMac G3 running os x 10.4.11 and epson's scanning utility; it worked fine and made a nice scan.
I have tried to get epson's scanning utility to work under 10.6.4 by reinstalling it; I can get it to startup and run the scanner but it too produces a blank white image!
I conclude there is some basic software incompatibility between the drivers and os x 10.6.4. Its odd that the drivers and image capture can run the scanner but cannot send an image to the computer.
The epson driver in the latest apple update is version 5.2.5 (Copyright 2003 ???) while the latest driver on the epson site (for image capture) is 5.3. Tried to download the epson driver and got file not found (*!%#?&).
done what I can; any suggestions?

I had the same problem with my Epson 1260 scanner. The "updated" drivers provided by both Apple and Epson produced the exact same result - blank white pages, or if anything showed up at all, it would be all chopped up and skewed, like it had gone through a shredder. Trying to adjust the brightness and other slider settings made no difference.
After wrestling with it for a week, I finally found a solution. First make sure Rosetta is installed. Use the old PowerPC Epson TWAIN driver from 2003; with the filename EPSON TWAIN 5.ds. Put it in the folder /Library/Image Capture/TWAIN Data Sources/.
Then, don't use Image Capture. Download Graphic Converter. Set it to open in Rosetta mode. Then you can use Graphic Converter's File -> Acquire -> TWAIN Acquire... menu command to scan using the old EPSON TWAIN driver.

*SCANNING SLIDES- PLEASE RECOMMEND SCANNER/EQUIPMENT NEEDED

Hello,
I used to have the HP Scanjet 4470c which came with a slide/photo-negative adapter. First question, is this compatable with my Mac OS X Version 10.4.8?
When I got the Mac, I purchased the Canon Pixma MP500. This doesn't seem to have the option to scan my old slides.
If you would, kindly let me know what I need to do to properly scan my slides to import to IPhoto- can I update anything, use a third party, or do I need to purchase a third scanner?
Thanks so much in advance for your assistance.
Take care,
Michael

Sieb:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. According to HP's web site the 4470c is not compatible with OS X.
So it looks like you'll need a new scanner as the multifunction Canon doesn't fit the bill. I just bought a Canon 8600F and it has slide capability. Canon has 2 models with that capability ( also the 4400F model). Both will do 4 slides at a time. If doing more than 4 at a time then look into other scanner brands.
With the scanner I just purchased I got Photoshop Elements 4 bundled with it. That's a good add-on.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Acrobat XI won't connect with Epson Scanner

I have an Epson Perfection V33 scanner connected to a MacBook Pro. When I open Acrobat XI and choose File > Create > PDF from Scanner, I get this error message:
"Error interacting with the scanner. The selected scanner was not found."
The scanner is properly connected via USB; I can scan with it. Any idea how I can get Acrobat to connect with it? Thanks.

You are more likely to get an answer if you ask in the Acrobat forum.

Scanning Slides with G4010

I have started to use the Scanjet (G4010) to scan my slide collection and I am finding the images produced are not as clear as they should be. Turing the slides upside-down in the holder improves things a bit and scanning them flat on the glass does even better but because the slide mount holds the film off the glass they are still not quite right although acceptable. Scaning flat on the glass (not in the holder) defeates the purpose of the scanner and will take far too long. Increasing the scanning resolution (from 300 to 1200) does not help as this is clearly an optical problem.
Is there any facility (through the driver) to adjust the focus position so that the best results for slides in the holder can be achieved?

Hi @KA45 , and welcome to the HP Forums.
I see you are looking into adjusting the focal position of the scanner. That is not a feature that is available in the software.
For further information, I would recommend utilizing the HP Scanjet G4010 Photo Scanner User guides, as well as these documents on Scanner Options.
For further information, I would recommend contacting HP directly. You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide.

Printing Problems in CS4 with EPSON R1900

I recent bought a new Epson R1900 and much to my dismay, I can't print from InDesign or Illustrator (haven't yet tried from Photoshop). Basically what happens is that the printer ignores any settings I configure, and prints with the "Default" settings. So not only can I not control the quality or media type, but by default it uses up the Glossy Optimiser, by assuming I want to print on glossy stock.
My workaround in the meantime is to create everything as a PDF and print from Acrobat. For some reason, Acrobat can talk to the printer.
Has anyone else found these problems? Is there any solution to be had?

Ive gone crazy trying to get ID CS3 to print on my HP Laserjet P1006. Various Adobe techs have spent hours trying to find a fix. They really have been very nice and all tried
to be helpful. And - THANK GOD - most of them spoke English. Im hard of hearing and
unfortunately speak very little Indian. (Someone told me that all ID techs speak english.)
It will print PDF. And CS3 Illustrator and Photoshop will print.
One tech suggested that I download CS4 for the 30 day trial to see if it will print. But, after
reading your problem, I will skip even trying.
For quite a while, I was told that it was an Apple problem and that 10.5.6 was going
to fix it. But it didnt. My printer prints a blank page.
Ive read other CS3 printer complaints. What good is a program that wont print?

HT204135 Photoshop CS5 Printing Problem on iMac with Epson 3880 printer

All of a sudden I can't print from Photoshop CS5 on my iMac with OSX Mountain Lion installed. I am able to print from Illustrator, however. Have tried to update the Epson 3880 driver. After clicking on "Print", it doesn't register with the computer, and from then on, the "Print" option is greyed out.

Are you using moab icc profiles or are you using one of the epson profiles?
I always use the moab profiles which you can download from their Web site. This way you are matching the specific epson printer with the specific moab paper.
At that point you change the printer manages color to Lightroom manages color and select the specific profile. Very easy to do - they even have instructions on the Moab site for installing the profiles if you haven't done that.
Once installed you can also use them through the system print dialogs in PS but it is really much much easier to use in LR - Since coming on board with LR last summer, I have switched to doing ALL printing from LR. Since you mentioned that you are having the same problem with LR and PS, I'm betting you are using epson profiles and this will solve your problem.
Hope so
Tom

Trouble printing with Epson 2880 and SL

Installed SL on my MBP but not my iMac yet as it is my main computer for printing with Aperture. I have been very happy with the 2880 and how well the prints match what I see on the screen (calibrated with i1d2). Well with SL I downloaded rosetta and the new 2880 drivers (as instructed by Epson), but whenever I choose a paper profile e.g., Premium Photo Glossy, the picture in Aperture Print Pane turns a purple hue. I, of course, have color management turned off in the Print Settings dialog. Anyone have any idea what is going on? As far as I can tell I'm not doing anything differently. More importantly, has anyone been able to get good photo printing with SL, Aperture and the new Epson drivers for the 2880 or similar Epson printer?
Thanks, Jim

That KB article just saved me from going back to 10.5. I was having the same purple problem with all Ilford and Hahnemuhle profiles.
That problem is now gone (by just disabling Black Point Compensation) but: when trying to print from Aperture (2.1.4) with my R2880, any paper I choose is apparently stuck at +roll paper+, giving a +wrong source+ error when it reaches the printer. I now have to hit preview, select the correct page setup and profile and print from there. So far this seems to work. But it's a pain and not what I want to be stuck doing for very long.
I had this problem before but only when printing to Manual-Roll. Now even Sheet Feeder options don't work. This would all be fixed if we only had a proper Page Setup option in Aperture as in every other OS X application...
At least that convoluted method gives me the right colors - which I was definitely not getting by going the system managed route.
Growing pains anyone?

Why does my iPhone 4 not charge correctly? Problem is definitely with the phone and not charges or chords. Phone will charge but very slowly and no icon comes on. Computer and iTunes doesn't recognize it a being connected.

My iPhone 4 quit charging correctly. It does charge but very slowly and icon doesn't indicate it as charging. I've checked cables and charges and the problem is definetily with the phone. My car stereo no longer recognizes it as a device. Neither does the computer. The real strange thing to me is that when I plug it into my old klispch speaker dock it will play songs. My battery life is good when it is charged so I don't think its the battery. I've tried resetting the phone and cleaning the charging port. I'm out of warranty.
Would disconnecting the battery possibly reset it from some glitch or is the charging port got some bad contacts?

I checked with the Genius Bar. It was a new dilema to the lady that was helping me. She took it to a back room and worked on it but it came out the same. She gave me some options for repair or credit for replacement.
I just kept the phone and put up with slowly charging it by plugging it in and then turning it off.
I couldn't transfer anything from itunes.
I finally got fed up and bought a new charging port for $10. and a toolkit for $3. I looked up a video on youTube for the replacement and did it.
That solved all the problems, it was the charging port, must have been some bad pins or something because it patially worked.
