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.

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?

Snow Leopard upgrade & printing wireless with Epson px800fw

Hi there,
after upgrading to 10.6.1 I'm not able to print anything to my Epson px800fw. It is connected wireless - funny thing is that scans do work properly while I can't print out anything.
Tried to install the latest drivers from the Epson site but still no success.
The printer manager always shows an error and wants me to install new software (but does not say what to update).
Any ideas?
Thanks for any input
Dietmar

I finally got it managed.
Found different solutions in this forum and what worked was to remove the printer from the printer settings and add a new printer. The system immediately found my Epson printer and installed the correct drivers so everything is working again.
Sorry for any inconveniences

Communication error with Epson printer SX510W

I am getting a communication error when I try to print on my Epson SX510W wrieless printer. How do I correct this? My operating system is OS X Version 10.9.4.
I've tried re-installing the software from the CD-Rom but it won't let me use the Quick Start, It lets me download the print driver and scan driver from the list of software on the disc but that hasn't made any difference. I think it's a problem with the printer and the IP address, how do I correct this. How do I find the correct IP address on the printer?
Sometimes if I turn the printer off and on again, it allows me to print just one page and then stops again.
John Mitchell

Thanks John. I tried deleting the Epson printer folder from the library like you said and then checked for Software Updates. But Apple did not indicate that there were any for my OS (probably because I had installed the latest OS update this morning). So I installed the driver from the Epson site with the printer folder removed. But this did not work because when I tried to print the computer indicated that there were missing files. So, I reinstalled the Epson folder that I had just moved to trash, deleted the new Epson folder, then tried reinstalling the Epson driver with the original folder in place. THIS WORKED! Finally, I am off and printing but with little knowledge gained about the inner workings of my computer.

Problems with HP printer and PSE 11 (was bill v)

When using my HP 7020e photosmart printer and Adobe photoshop elements 11, I get a very small white border on the prints. I have set for borderless printing. Adobe says the print size is 4.2 x 6.18 instead of 4 x 6. Any suggestions?

I had already set it to borderless but it still prints a very small white
border. HP had no solution. I am ready to send the printer back to them.

How do you copy, for example I work with blue prints and I want to copy a section and copy into another new page?

How do you copy, for example I work with blue prints and I want to copy a section and copy into another new page?

Forgot to add that it would be an adjustment layer with some kind of mask on it already. The mask is uncentered when copy and pasted which throws it off.
I guess the same question would go towards doing the same for an object. How to copy and paste it over to a new doc, keeping its position within the document? is this possible?

I am trying to print a jpg, centered on the page, to epson printer and the printed image is off center, does anyone have a sense about setting to check?

right click a blank area of the toolbar, click Customize. You'll see the printer icon there. Drag and drop it to where you want.
You can also find this option under View -> Toolbars -> Customize.

When printing from Preview, the document prints with large print and many lines added and pages added

When printing from Preview, the document prints with large print and many lines added and pages added. Why does this happen?

Thank you!!! That was the problem--scale was set at 200% (don't know why)--when I reduced it to 100% it printed perfectly.
Thanks again for helping me resolve this problem.

Problem with Epson WF600 and Mavericks printing

My Epson WF600 no longer is recognized wirelessly, by my Macbook Pro, when I go to Add Printers in my System Preferences. I installed the new Drivers for Epson (I think), but unless I connect the printer with a USB cable, my laptop wont print wirelessly from the Epson. Please help.

Try resetting the router (power off 15 secs, then back on), then reset the printer same way.
Also reset Printing System:
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
How did you install new drivers?
The new driver paradigm for OS X is: manufacturers give Apple the current drivers to keep on their servers. It gets installed automatically when we add the printer in Print & Scan prefs. You can force OS X to re-find both installed and available drivers by resetting the printing system.
Find current version of drivers from this:
OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download

Can print but not scan wirelessly with Cannon MX860

I have a MacBook Pro (mid 2009) and just upgraded to Mountain Lion this week. Everything seemed to be working fine until I tried to use my scanner. I use the "Open Scanner" interface that comes with OS X as opposed to the Cannon scanner software because for me it's just more intuitive and easier to use. I tried to open the "Open Scanner" function for my MX860, but all that came up was a grey box with the 'Scan" and "Hide Details" buttons greyed out. When I had Lion and launched this function, my computer would automatically lanuch a preview scan of whatever it was I was trying to scan.
I tried deleting my printer and scanner from my print/scan queue, but now I can only re-install the printer. How do I add the scanning function back into the queue so I can use the "Open Scanner" function to scan wirelessly from my MX860?
NOTE: I am not interested in using the Cannon Scanner software to scan. I want to use the scanning software that comes with OS X. Please help!

Hello havenrock,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some scanning issues when attempting to scan to your computer with a wireless connection.
When scanning over a wireless connection, one of the more common issues is the Firewall or anti virus blocking communication. I suggest you disable the firewall and the anti virus protection and then reboot the computer.
Once the computer is back on, attempt the scan again.
Let me know how you make out and if you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to ask.
Cheers,

My iMac is printing duplexed documents on a wirelessly connected Epson printer extremely slowly (minutes), but prints fast from and IOS device using AirPrint. Settings don't offer any help. Can anyone advise, please?

I have a one-year old (intel) iMac, now running on Mountain Lion. I have a wireless network with an Epson Photo Stylus PX830FWD printer which has an auto-duplexer. My problem is that when I print a two-sided document, the print takes minutes rather than seconds. It prints at normal speed if I use the print facility on my iPad or iPhone (AirPrint), which suggests that the Mac settings are at fault. I have been through all the settings on System Preferences that I can find, but nothing makes any difference.
I didn't notice it prining at slow speed on Snow Leopard or Lion OSX!
Any suggestions, please?

I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.

On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

Scanning with Epson RX500 and trying Image Capture

I have an Epson RX500.It prints and copies fine. It was scanning fine, using Photoshop Elements,for two years but now it is not recognized (I think this has something to do with updated Tiger 10.4.8. I've tried to reinstall the TWAIN and scanning software but that was useless. I've tried to use Image Capture but get the message when the Scan Setup opens up that "The scanner EPSON Stylus Photo RX500 is in use by another application..."
Can anyone help?

Eric,
There are one, or more files (plist, I think), that need to be purged, so that new copies can be made. I don't have those listed anywhere, that I can remember, but if you call Epson, a tech should be able to lead you through them. I only had this problem when I upgraded to 10.4, from 10.3, so memory is hazy.

Wireless printing with HP printer and Netgear Router

I am a new MAC user, and I am trying to figure out how to set up my new MacBook wirelessly to my HP PSV 1600 printer. I have a Netgear router that is working great with my MacBook. I'm just unsure of how to connect my Macbook, Printer, and Router all together. I have heard of using a flash drive to save your network information from your Macbook, and then inserting flash drive into USB port on printer so printer recognizes network info. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I've never heard of it, but then I'm not a Windows user nor do I use any HP printers.
If the printer is a USB printer but you don't have a USB printer port on your router, then you would need to use a wireless access point such as an Airport Express to which the printer can connect to the USB port. Or you can connect the printer to a USB port on one of the computers. In either case the printer can then be shared using Printer Sharing.

Problem with Dell Printer and Wireless Router

I have a new Linksys Wireless Router (3100) and it handles 3 laptops, PS3 fine. But I have a Dell 715w network printer (also new). I have it set up on the network, and it works fine upon setup. The problem is the printer does not work all the time. Sometimes I can get an error message, sometimes it says it is busy, and other times it literally takes a long time to load and then does not print. I usually can get it to work again by rebooting and turning off the router and printer and laptops, but this hit or miss is very annoying and I never know when it will do this again, usually after a week or two. I wonder if the problem is that the 3 laptops all have different OS - XP, Vista and Windows 7. Dell tech support won't help as they say they don't support routers, but I am wondering whether the problem is ina s etting or if this printer is malfunctioning. any help would be appreciated

Yes. You have to key-in the IP address to the printer.
Basically, if the printer is set to obtain IP address from the router, it will be provided with a random IP or any IP available for the next device that will connect, on this issue, your printer. So there's no permanent IP address for the printer, making it a little hard to find at times. Compare it with the a static IP, your computer can easily map it since it doesn't change.
