Stop Epson Printer Monitor Pop-Up

Hi all,
Anyone got a fix for this annoying application pop-up?
Following the thread here yielded no results either: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=7234154
Thoughts?
Regards,
-Robert

Unfortunately, the provided Epson utilities don't offer anything in terms of pop-up control- the controls and options provided are limited to ones which get the printer working. There was nothing also that I saw installed in my login; it seems as if the problem window is an extension of the print driver pulling up an ink status window.
What I'm hoping for is a way to get around a window popping in the foreground, even if this involves going into some registry type settings to do so. I thought I was onto something by insisting the software opens in it's own "Space," but even then, getting diverted to that Space is worse than just getting the pop-up.
Your help, Barney, as well as everyone else's truly is appreciated!

  • Disable Epson printer monitor to use generic cartridges

    I have an Epson XP-950 printer connected to a MacBook (via USB) running OS X 10.6.8. I would like to be able to use generic cartridges with the printer -- so my question is: is it possible to disable the Epson printer monitor?
    When I put in a generic cartridge the printer complains and it's unusable. I'm using the latest drivers from the Epson website.

    I have never had an issue using cartridges from Ink4Art.
    I also have an Epson.  My current Epson cartridges are so cheap, Ink4Art do not carry that model cartridges.  They cannot beat Epson's price.

  • Disable Epson Print Monitor

    I have a real headache here!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    We have a Epson D120 printer connected to an Airport to allow multiple macs to send jobs to the printer. When a job is sent the "epson print monitor" applicaion crashes every single time.
    I suspect that the issue is that the print monitor can not detect the epson printer installed on the local machine so it falls over.
    How on earth do I disable the "Epson Print Monitor" on a Mac?

    I am hoping someone will reply to this question as well. I have a similar situation.
    Powerbook G4, 1 G ram, OS 10.5.3. Flawless machine before I installed Leopard. At the moment I installed Leopard things began to go wrong.
    Several problems, but chief among them and most frustrating is I can no longer use my Airport Extreme network for printing to my Epson Stylus C120. Have monitored Epson web site for driver updates, none. But reinstalled latest driver anyway. Applecare; no solution. As in prior email print monitor crashes. Even with wired connection I now get an obnoxious print screen that overlays other windows until print job is finished or I manually close it (just another thing to do, and distraction).
    Do I need to buy a new printer? Please help. If no solution, would appreciate comments from those who have Airport network and working printer models (what brand and model?)

  • Epson Printer Manager coming at Start-Up

    Since a few days without any specific action from my end, the Epson Printer Manager is starting up after booting my MacBook Pro or after logging-in. Tried everything to identify the process in in the System/Library/LaunchAgents or ~/LaunchDaemons. Likewise via the "launchctl list" in launchd - but in vain. Can anybody help to identify this process and describe what needs to be done to kill it for good.

    I hesitate to post any of this since it's untested for your specific situation. Proceed at your own risk and *make backups before proceeding.*
    I just found this possibly related thread which might offer a fix, but it does require being brave enough to edit a file, suggested here by using Pico,Terminal's built in editor. Another editing option follows. But since I don't know why this would have started behaving like this spontaneously, this may not really be the solution for you.
    http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20090830194413248
    With pico, navigate around the page using the arrow keys. The mouse won't do anything. To add a line, add a return at the end of the line after which you wish to add the new line. To delete an unwanted line, delete the contents of the line including the carriage return. The shortcuts at the bottom of the screen with the ^ symbol in front of them are activated using the control key. That is, ^X means "hold down the control key and press x." After you're done you just hold down control and X to exit the editor then follow the prompts to "save modified buffer" (buffer = currently opened file, modified buffer = currently opened file with the changes you made). This may require a reboot for these changes to take effect.
    You should be able to navigate to +/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter/EPW/EPSON Printer Monitor.app/Contents/Info.plist+ without going through Package Contents.
    Without using Terminal/Pico, you might also just try editing it using TextEdit; if this turns out to be a file for which you don't have privileges, open TextEdit with this command:
    sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit
    Enter your password which you will not see echoed, and hit enter.
    Highlight the file in question and then open it into the TextEdit window with File>Open. Add the lines and save. Be sure to reboot.
    Or you might try trashing the .plist mentioned, which may have become corrupted, reboot and see what happens. You might have to restore your preferences (I don't use Epson, so not sure what they might be.) Remember to make a backup copy first. .plist files are usually recreated automatically, but not sure if this one will be, so, again, *make sure you have a backup copy.*
    Or, since I don't know if the Printer Monitor is a necessary piece of this program, you might try trashing it entirely (don't empty the Trash in case you need to put it back.) Since, the Permissions may have changed by moving it to the Trash (and this goes for all the backup copies, as well), reboot and run Permissions Repair from Disk Utility, which will restore the proper Permissions if they have changed. Definitely write down the Permissions first for anything for which you make a backup copy. Do this by highlighting the file, then GetInfo CMD-I, look in Sharing and Permissions. That way you won't have to do any Permissions Repair, which takes a long time in 10.5, if they haven't changed.

  • Epson Stylus TX210 stopped working after Epson Printer Drivers 2.1 update.

    Hi! I recently bought an Epson Stylus TX210 All-In-One printer. I installed the drivers and software bundled in the included CD and I used it without any problems for 2 days, until the I was prompted to download Epson Printer Drivers 2.1. After the installation, I noticed that whenever I wanted to print anything, the "Print" blue glowing button in the print dialogue won't do anything and no matter how many times I pressed it, it didn't continue the printing process. I've tried everything to solve the issue, but so far anything has worked properly.
    Thing I've done:
    -Trashed the EPSON folder in HD\Library\Printers
    -Repaired permissions.
    -Reset printing system.
    -Reinstall the CD drivers.
    -Redownload the Epson Printer Drivers 2.1.
    -Delete bundled software.
    I've tried every possible combination of the steps above, and so far here's the state of my printed:
    -I can print a Test Page directly using Option and Supplies opftion under the Printer and Fax settings.
    -Scanner works.
    -The "Print" button is no longer stuck, but every attempt to print fails. The printing status reads: "Error: /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpll.app/Contents/MacOS /rastertoescpll failed"
    -I'm printing by connecting the printer directly through the USB port.
    Is there anything I can do? I would gladly appreciate any help!
    Thanks in advance!

    I would like to inform everyone that I've successfully solved my problem and now my printer works again!
    The actual solution this this problem is a combination of various tips on this thread, but finally I found the exact steps and files needed.
    1-If you installed drivers from the CD included in the printer, first uninstall them by opening each individual installer on the /Commons/ folder on the CD. After the installer prompts you for the password, select the "uninstall" option on the drop-down menu on the top left section of the window. Make sure you run the uninstall option -if possible- on all installers included on the CD.
    2-Trash the HD\Library\Printers\EPSON folder and empty the Trash Can. There's going to be a couple of files being in use and you won't be able to delete them -yet-.
    3-Reboot and disconnect your printer.
    4-Empty the Trash Can again. The remaining files should be gone by now.
    5-Go to System Preferences/Printer and Fax, right-click on the printer list and reset the printing system.
    6-Go to http://www.epson.com.ph/epson/drivers/driver_download.htm?dc=1&mode=3&m=false&ca tid=4&pid=1473 and download the Epson Stylus TX210 Driver for Mac OS X. -Note: I tried multiple versions of the TX210 drivers found online and this particular version was the only one that worked. It's interesting that the this for both the SX210 and TX210, and the installers that only contained the TX210 drivers didn't work-. If for some reason the page changes, the name of the file you're looking for is SX210Series652EMP2.dmg
    7-Run the installer.
    8-Connect your printer and go to System Preferences/Printer and Fax. The printer should be recognized and ready to print.
    Thanks everybody for all the support!

  • Epson printer fails with Quicktime

    Hi All,
    I have found that my Epson Stylus NX115 printer crashes and will not print while Quicktime is installed. I had this issue on WinXP and upgrading from Qucktime 7.60 to 7.64 fixed the issue. On Vista it has not. I have friends with other models of Epson printers that are having the same issue.
    When Quicktime is installed and I try to print, Windows Vista tells me via a popup:
    "Spooler SubSystem App has stopped working".
    I set my laptop back to factory reset and installed only Quicktime (7.64) and my Epson printer. No change of outcome. I've uninstalled Quicktime and the printer at least 10 times now. It's completely consistent, if Quicktime is installed the printer doesn't work, if it's not then the printer does work.
    I've tried to use Process Monitor to figure out what Quicktime might be doing. I've set the QT.exe not to start up with Windows. I've tried changing a lot of attributes on the printer but nothing has worked. It seems to have to do with a change that Quicktime makes at install time. The uninstall of Quicktime fixes whatever it did.
    If you have any ideas on a next step please let me know.
    Thanks!

  • Printing to large paper on epson printer

    I am trying to print a document from Illustrator. The document size is 13" x 19".
    When I load Super A3 paper (13x19) into my Epson printer the printer starts and begins to print but stops about 4 inches down the paper and then ejects the whole sheet (with the remainder of the image not being printed). The epson monitor shows that the document is still processing after the partly printed sheet is ejected. The quality of the partly printed sheet is fine.
    I set up print dialogue box from illustrator to the sheet size that I am putting in. Ive tried 3-4 times with the same result.
    I am on a MAC OSX 10.5.8
    I seem to have no problems with printing to other standard sheet sizes.
    Any thoughts??

    There are a couple of things you can try; 1.) see if you have enough system memory to process the page ( it could be running out of system memory ); 2.) set an invisible holding line to the page / document and lock it ( no stroke, no fill @ 13 x 19 ); 3.)  Use the Page tool ( if you haven't already ) and set it to the document, edge-to-edge.  Also, check you ink supplies, there may be an empty cartridge preventing you from printing the entire file.  Hope this helps.

  • Printer stop accepting prints

    I was printing this morning on my Epson 1290. This afternoon, when I tried to print, the image in the Printer driver window was blank. My Epson 230 still showed an image, but then it stopped also.
    The Print monitor window showed "Error:/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpll.app/Content s/MacOS/rastertoescpll failed"
    This is the second time this has happened; the first time was in July. The cure? Remove all preferences and printer drivers, and re-instal from the Apple Software Update under the Apple menu; don't download the Epson drivers from the Epson site. This software update DOESN'T remove old drivers - you must doit first to set things going again.
    But the question is: Does Apple know about the problem, and if so, when are they going to fix it?

    What computer?
    what MacOS X?
    What Printer?
    How is the printer connected to your computer or to your Network?
    what was updated, from what to what?
    What error messages do you get if any?

  • How do i reinstall my system 10.8-Having Epson Printer Issues

    I am having a massive problem with an Epson Stylus C88+ printer that used to work with my new iMac Late 2012 computer using System 10.8.4
    Recently there was an update V2.5 for this printer. Once I installed the update the printer stopped working.
    I now get a Epson Filter Failed error message and have tried everything to resolve it I could find on the internet.
    Something in that upgrade killed the printer for me and the only thing I could find that I didn't do was to reinstall my system 10.8.
    Does anyone know and easy way to do this which won't cause me too much pain?  Or is there another fix for this issue?
    The printing error message is:
    Stopped - 'Filter' failed, 1 page
    I tried to rename the computer in the Sharing pref, then went to the Printer and Scan preferences to make sure this is the name I used as well and nothing works.

    Open the Sharing pane in System Preferences. If the Computer Name is not set, enter a name. You may first have to click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings. According to one report, the name must be set to "machd" (without the quotes) in order to get the printer working. After that, you may be able to change the name.
    The bug that causes the crash seems to be fixed in the latest version of the Epson printing software.

  • Problem with Printer Utility Setup when installing Epson printer

    Hi everyone,
    Hope some kind soul here can help me out on this.
    I bought a Epson Stylus CX7300 All-in-one printer yesterday and am having difficulty installing the printer driver onto my eMac running on OSX 10.3.9.
    I followed the procedure on the Epson installation disc and even called up their customer support office and went through step-by-step guides to troublesome the cause. Even downloaded the latest driver from the Epson site, and installed it, but every time I open up a document and tries to print, the following would occur:
    1. When I click "PRINT", a pop-up will appear, and under the printer field, it will be indicated as "NO PRINTER SELECTED"
    2. I would then select "EDIT PRINTER LIST" from the printer field - after which another pop-up will appear saying "You have no printers available. Would you like to add your list of printers now?"
    3. When I click "ADD", an error pop-up will appear saying "The application Printer Setup Utility has unexpectedly quit. The system and other applications have not been affected. Would you like to submit a bug report to Apple?"
    I have submitted tonnes of "bug reports" to Apple since yesterday but nothing happened.
    I also tried to open Printer Utility Setup directly from under System/Applications/Utilities, but the same error will appear and it will just quit "unexpectedly".
    Is there any remedy to this?
    Oh, the strange thing is, the CX7300 can scan images fine, and I also managed to do a test print from Epson's utility.
    Thank you.
    Yours Sincerely,
    Alvinology

    Hi, I was just about to post the same question myself. I'm trying to sort out a friends iMac G5 with a Canon Pixma(?) printer. In this case the printer used to work OK, but after moving house and setting it up again, Print Utility crashes every time when trying to add the printer.
    Thanks

  • Photoshop CS3 and Epson printer

    I have PS CS3 with an Epson 4000 running on windows XP. I know Adobe is aware of a problem in which under some circumstances, (when you use roll paper) PS will print a smaller image off center and displaying in the interface the portrait mode despite me clicking landscape. I also know Adobe has a technote that offers solutions (I am already using version 10.0.1 with Bridge 2.1.1.9. Also solutions 2,3, and 4 on the tech notes have not worked. I tried different combinations and permutations of settings to no avail. Now I work on CS3 on the image, save it, and print it on CS2 which I kept on my computer, and has no problems printing. Can you please keep this as an on-going problem, since it has not been solved yet? Any feedback on this? There are a lot of Epson printer out there, and printing for a photographer is absolutely important. Thanks.
    Ed Kneler

    Have spent hours with both Adobe and Epson support people. I've read several of these forums. Is there an insurmountable problem with CS3 and Epson (2200/2400 are mine)? I have the Leopard patches and upgrade 10.5.4.
    With Photoshop managing the color I get prints that are slightly underexposed and carry a pink cast. Color management is off. With the printer managing the color I get prints that are too green and dark. Epson advice here is to have color management off. There are two other choices for management but to adjust a perfectly balanced print to the printer's whim seem like cruel punishment.
    Have a calibrated monitor and my CS2 works beautifully. Perhaps the best idea is to just go back to CS2 until Adobe and Epson can decide what to do. According to Adobe people, the CS3 gives much of the management back to Epson. According to Epson -- with CS3, you should choose the printer to manage the color (since this seems to be the trend between the two companies) but we users are not happy with the results.
    What is the solution for right now?

  • Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

    Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
    System: Windows 7
    Adobe CS5
    Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
    Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
    Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
    Epson driver up to date
    After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
    The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail  I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
    My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
    Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
    When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling:  Printer manages color.  Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
    Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
    Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
    What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
    Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create? 
    Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
    Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
    If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
    Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
    Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
    I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

    It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
    I hope this may help...............

  • Problem pdf created by Epson Printer.

    When I open a pdf created by my Epson printer (WF-7620) I am asked to install an Asian language pack. I do not want to install this pack. How do I stop it?
    I have contacted Epson support who told me to contact Adobe as they could not see a way to stop it.

    Here are my findings:
    The last two files do not have any "real" text in them, and therefore contain no fonts, which is fine as they're just images.
    The first file contains selectable text, probably the result of an OCR process by the Epson software, and has 3 fonts used in it: Times-Roman (Type 1) and two forms of a font called Kozuka Mincho PR6N (TrueType), which is a Japanese font owned by Adobe (http://store2.adobe.com/type/browser/P/P_1812.html).
    The usage of these fonts is what causes Reader to ask that you download the Asian language pack (they're probably included in it), so that it could display the text correctly. This doesn't look like an error to me. It's the font specified by the Epson software when it processed the file during the OCR process, and Reader is just respecting that choice, even though there's no real reason to use this specific font.
    One possible solution would be to check the settings of your Epson software and see if you can specify the language of the OCR text, or better yet, the actual font used for it. If you can't customize it then you can't really solve this problem unless they change their application (or you install the font pack).
    Here's a screenshot of the Fonts tab of the Document Properties for the first file from Acrobat Pro XI:

  • Epson prints too dark from LR on color managed MacBook Pro?

    Hi all,
    I have a newish MacBook Pro, calibrated with Spyder2, and printing to an Epson 2200. The prints are too dark, and don't really come close to matching the screen in LR. I've brought the images into PS2 for soft proofing, but the prints are still far too dark. It's not just out of LR, but DPP as well. I found this topic:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc44027/28
    Tthat seems to describe my problem, but it seems to be Adobe-specific. Doug doesn't say if he's tried printing from other apps. I use Epson's custom profiles, which actually seem to be worse than the standard profiles that come with the driver.
    A new twist seems to be that profiled jpg images with sRGB profiles exported from LR also print too dark when I had them sent out for printing, which leads me to think that my screen is not profiled correctly, or there's some weird flaw in the Mac's color management engine that skews everything.
    My first question: When I profile my screen using Spyder2, I have the brightness set at maximum. Should I bring it down, and if so, how far? The Spyder2 help says use "Factory Defaults", but the MBP ships with brightness set on auto-adjust based on ambient light levels.
    My second question: Are there others who have this issue? Have any of you resolved them successfully, and if so, how?
    Thanks!
    Timmy

    Time for a reality/sanity check for those who complain that "the "prints are too dark from my Epson printer"!
    If you will just reduce your monitor's white-point luminance to the range of 80-90 cd/m2 when you edit your images, it's almost certain that the problem will be solved (assuming you're not making some other error in color management setup). Many people conclude that their problem must be a generic failure or defect of Epson printers (i.e., compared to HP, etc)-- or that the Epson paper profiles are defective. Well, perhaps there's some element of truth to that conclusion--to the extent that Epson printers have evidently been designed with typical professional editing environments in mind (i.e., the low brightness levels to which "serious" printers adjust their monitors and ambient lighting). Why would they do that: Well, who wants to spend many hours each day looking at the glare of a 200 cd/m2 monitor screen (and the reflections from a brighly lighted room)?
    So, for getting "monitor-matching" prints from printers such as the SP 2200, you simply need to work (edit) with your images in a more-or-less "dimly lit" room using a monitor that is properly adjusted for such a low-light environment--(i.e., the screen luminance not higher than 90-100 cd/m2). Of course even with such a reduced screen luminance, the light used for print-viewing must be sufficiently bright(**)
    It's possible that your monitor cannot be adjusted to the necessary (low) luminance level--or that you haven't any means to measure the luminance level. Those are correctable hardware issues, although may require $$.
    (**)please note that a fairly bright viewing light is needed for prints (made as suggested above) to appear to be a reasonably close "match" to the monitor image.
