[SOLVED] CUPS won't talk to Epson Stylus CX3200 printer

Hi, (first post woo!)
I've tried to install CUPS as per the Arch Linux wiki for use with an Epson Stylus CX3200 (scanner and printer, but of course only the printer matters to me at the moment). I've set up udev rules to chown/chmod the printer USB device correctly, blacklisted the usblp module, and installed gutenprint and foomatic packages, and yet the printer does not show up on CUPS's detected printer list.
/var/messages output doesn't sound overly healthy:

Tried a different printer, an Epson Stylus Photo R300. This too is not detected.
EDIT: Finally solved. Oddly enough, the thing that was causing neither printer to be detected was usblp being blacklisted - modprobing it back in caused both printers to work! I'll be noting this on the Wiki page, as the Wiki's guideline for blacklisting usblp actually caused the problem here =P

Illustrator cs4 and Epson Stylus R2880 printing problems

I am having printing problems. I am trying to print from my cs4 to my epson stylus photo printer r2880 and am having problem with my picture getting cut off on the left side when I print. The print screen looks perfect but when I go to print, it always cuts off the left edge and the bottom. I tried playing with the x and y's but have no idea what I am doing. Does anyone have this combination of cs4 with the R2880 printer and can help me solve my problem?

Hi Wade,
I have tried playing around with that but I am not sure what I am doing. Here's what it is set at.
On my drop down print screen, i have the size set as US Letter (Sheet Feeder Borderless (retain size).
When I check the 'fit to page' button it actually puts a bigger white boarder around it. The fit to page number says (96.4706%). Shouldn't it say 100%? If I leave it as do not scale I still have a small border around it.
I am not sure about the xy settings. When I have it to 'fit to page' it is:
Top left corner (0,0) Top right corner (0,0)
Bottom left corner (0, .1632) Bottom right corner (0, .1632)
If I have do not scale button clicked:
Top left corner (0,0) Top right corner (0,0)
Bottom left corner (0, -.225) Bottom right corner is (-.3, -.225)
Do these settings look correct? If not, what should my setting say and how can I set it without the setting changing back everytime I open this window.
Thanks for responding,
Celeste

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.

Getting lousy Image Prints from a Epson Stylus P2200 Printer & IMac (Intel)

Ok here's the health warning - I'm a recent Windows to Mac convert - so this may well be me - but here goes ...
I have an Epson Stylus P2200 Printer (which works great on Windows XP) and I am having trouble printing anything close to decent looking photos when its connected to the IMac. I've tried with both Aperture & Photoshop Elements - same problem/outcome. The photos come out in low resolution & v. poor color quality.
I'm using the Stylus Photo 2200 (FW) driver that came standard with the IMAC - but it has very limited features compared to Windows - I have selected a ICC profile (downloaded from Epson) that matches the paper I am using.
I suspect its me - but can anyone shed any light on where I'm going wrong?
Does anyone have any experience of this driver - is it me? or is there something I'm missing?
Thanks
Chris
IMac (Intel) Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.5GB RAM

I have two Epson printers, a 2200 and it's working fine with my MacBook Pro. Before you fiddle around with the Color Management, make sure your printer is in good working order and the latest Intel drivers are installed.
Banding is not normal printer behavior. You mentioned that you're using a scan of a MacBeth color checker chart. You didn't say how the scan was made, but I'm assuming you know for sure that the banding is not in the image. On my 2200 I might get bad color if I don't use the correct profiles but I've never had banding problems unless the print heads need cleaning.
Here are my suggestions:
1. Don't use the drivers bundled with Mac OS X. Download the latest ones from support.epson.com. If you haven't checked recently, check and download them again. The latest driver posted is 3.0aAs dated June 15, 2006.
2. Epson's instructions with the latest 2200 driver is to do a "Reset Printing System" first, then restart your Mac before installing the driver and adding the new print queue.
3. When adding the printer with the Printer Setup Utility, make sure you're adding the Stylus Photo 2200 that appears under the Epson USB or Epson FireWire category depending on whether the 2200 is connected to your iMac with FireWire or USB. Note that unlike the old PPC 2200 driver which has separate "printers" for Borderless and Minimize Margins, Roll Paper and Sheetfeed, the new driver installs only one printer. Roll paper and borderless printing options are now handled in the Page Setup dialog like the R-series printer drivers. (Unfortunately, this causes incompatibilities in a mixed PPC and Intel printer sharing environment).
4. Run the Epson Printer Utility and use it to check printer status and do a nozzle check. This will help check if the Mac is communicating with the printer.
Now you can start making your test prints. Most likely, you'll be using the Print Settings and Color Management options in the Print dialog frequently. If the prints are coming out halfway decent or better, then you can be quite certain that the printing system is set up properly and now you can worry about the ICC profiles and color management.
Also, don't forget to download the better profiles for the 2200 from support.epson.com.
And, if you're managing color in Photoshop, turn OFF Color Management in the Print dialog and vice-versa. Otherwise, you're managing color twice!

Printer Driver for Epson Stylus R800 Printer Included with OS X 5 Leopard

How many faulty drivers may there be included with OS X 5 Leopard?
After installing OS X 5 Leopard I found that when using my Epson Stylus PHOTO R800 printer photograph prints and ordinary lettering were extremely feint and unusable.
From the list of printers installed with OS X 5, as given in Apple "K"base Documents, I checked the version number of the driver for the Stylus Photo R800 and it was given as "SPR800 3.09 app"
I next checked the latest driver specified by Epson on their website---it too was given as
"SPR800 3.09 app".
Despite this information I downloaded the "SPR800 3.09 app" from Epson and installed it and the problem was solved.
I am writing this to inform others that despite the driver included with OS X 5 being specified as
"SPR800 3.09 3.09" it certainly is not!!!
The only answer is to use the latest version provided on the Epson website.

Dear scb
Many thanks for taking the time to reply to my post, you are so right in your remarks.
Although I've been on Macs for around 25 years I hadn't come across something as blatant as this before---maybe I've been lucky!
Your comment regarding the avoidance of software included with the product is very relevant particularly at the present time, so soon after the release of OS X 5 Leopard. There must be thousands of printers and the like which are being sold right now with software applicable to OS X 4 Tiger included with them.

How can I fix my MacBook Pro losing wireless connectivity with Epson Stylus NX625 printer. It will work once and then I get an error saying the printer is not connected.

I can connect to my Epson Stylus NX625 through my wireless network and print a page or two, but then the next time I go to print it says that the printer is not connected. Any fixes? I have tried deleting the printer and re-adding it to my MacBook Pro OS X version 10.9.4, but sometimes it doesn't even find it, and other times it says it is connected, but when I go to print it says not connected. Very frustrated. I have also installed the latest drivers, etc.
What now?

Your computer is going to run hot while playing CPU/GPU intensive games - it should heat up and the fans should be noticably loud. As to why it's 'crashing' - can you post a kernel panic log? You may have some third-party kexts that are causing the problems.

Epson Stylus 820 Print Image Matching Problem

I've recently upgraded my system to the OS 10.4.10 and am having a problem with my printer. It will not recognize the PIM II from my Photoshop or for that matter any other application. Printing Colors are no longer matching? When I was using the 10.3, PIM II was working great but with the upgrade it's not.
I find that the 10.4.10 is using an Epson Stylus Photo 820 Gimp Print V5.0.0 Beta driver. Epson unfortunately does not offer a driver specifically for this printer for my system and I believe this may be the problem.
Can anyone shed some light on the for me...
Sure would appreciate some advice and input..
Thanks,
Ron

I also upgrade my G4 to Leopard and now seem to have lost the printer utility that came with the Epson 820. I reinstalled from the CD and I still can't find it in my applications folder. I had it right on my dock before the upgrade and then it had a Question mark in it's place after the Leopard upgrade.
The reinstall seem to do nothing and now I can't check my ink levels or clean heads or any of that.
What's up? I guess time for a new printer eh?

Leopard 10.5.2 can't find Epson Stylus C86 printer driver

I installed Leopard and now when I try to print the dialogue says no printer selected.
When I go to Print/Fax preferences and select Epson Stylus C86, which is on the list,
the working wheel appears and it says searching for new drivers .
But it keeps searching and never stops. I can't print anything.

Thank you for your help. I discovered the answer in Print & Fax preferences by choosing "Default Printer".

Epson stylus 3850 printer driver

am looking to switch to an imac from a pc but have an epson stylus 3850 and cannot find any mac drivers? HELP!!!

I would second Greg's opinion. If you are tied to all the capabilities and interface of the Epson supplied drivers for Windows, the Gutenprint drivers may not fulfill your needs. If you are a professional that needs exacting color matching, you may have a hard time zeroing in on that with the Gutenprint drivers.
On the other hand, if you want to use the printer on a network, even if Epson supplied drivers they would not work in a network environment. The Gutenprint drivers will work on a network.
One other possibility not previously mentioned are the commercial PrintFab drivers <http://printfab.com>. They may provide results that you feel are better than the Gutenprint drivers even if they are just a tad short of the quality of the output of Epson drivers.
