Upgraded from 10.2.8 to 10.3 now Epson CX6600 will not work

Ok fellas (and ladies) here is the story. My mother finally got around to upgrading from 10.2.x to 10.3.0 (now, via online upgrades, 10.3.9 I believe, but the current problem stems from the initial upgrade) only this last week. When she upgraded, she was no longer able to print to her Epson CX6600. It was still present, so to speak, but her iMac (G4)would never connect (just that beautiful pinwheel). Now i am just a new convert to Mac so I have no idea how to fix this. We tried using the uninstall program provided by Epson's install program. When we did this, and then subsequently installed again, it told us everything was still installed. Furthermore, when we went to add the printer back into the printer setup utility, OS X recognized the printer but said the drivers were not present.
The next thing we did was download the latest drivers. Would you believe the Printer Setup Utility still said no drivers present?
So does anyone have any ideas? My mother called Epson, they say its Apple's problem (nice fellows over there at Epson). Before I suggest to my mother to plop down the $49 American to talk to someone on the phone about this, I thought I would get the scoop from the real experts.
Thank you in advance for any time you put into this.
Cheers

Hi Again MnchstrCityBlues!
At this point, the best I can do, is give you instructions, on how to uninstall & reinstall the printer. I know you have already done that, but perhaps you may have missed a file or two.
I have an Epson C86, so some of the instructions may need to be modified for the CX6600.
Change my references to C86 to CX6600.
But the procedure should be the same.
*Download the most current driver from www.epson.com.
* Before moving the folder & files listed below, to a "Temporary Epson Trash Folder", open "Printer Setup Utility" and delete the C86.
* "Quit' "Printer Setup Utility"
* Move the files (Posted in Capitals) to the "Temporary Epson Trash Folder" on the Desktop
HD > Applications >
EPSON PRINTER UTILITY (Alias)
HD > Users > Your Home > Library > Preferences >
COM.EPSON.IJPRINTER.UTILITY.PLIST
COM.APPLE.PRINT.CUSTOMPRESETS.PLIST
COM.APPLE.PRINT.PRINTCENTER.PLIST
COM.APPLE.PRINT.PRINTERPROXY.INTERNAL_MODEM.PLIST
COM.APPLE.PRINT.PRINTINGPREFS.PLIST
HD > Library > Printers >
EPSON (Folder) Only move this folder if you have no other
Epson products
I also had a "OS X booklet.pdf" (Epson) that I had saved in my "Documents" folder. You will get a new one. After the installation, I replaced it. You may not have saved your original one. It's no big deal, there's really not much in it, In fact I don't remember ever opening it, before today!
* Quit ALL running Applications
* "Repair Permissions" using "Disk Utility" in the "Utilities" folder
* Dig out your Epson C86 "Start Here" instruction quick sheet, for reference
* Unplug the USB cable from the Mac & then the C86
* Re-attach the USB cable to the C86 & then the Mac
* Turn on your C86
* Double click on: "epson11518.sea.hqx" to unzip (This is the downloaded driver)
* Double click on: "epson11518.sea" to expand
* Follow the prompts & instructions
* When the "Vise" installer opens in a window, double click it to start the install
* When the installation is complete, turn off the printer & restart your Mac.
* "Repair Permisions" again
* Turn on the C86
* Open "Printer Setup Utility"
* "You have no printers available" will appear. Click "Add"
* Select "Epson USB" in the contextual menu
* Click on "Stylus C86" to highlight
* Add "Page Setup:" select "All", from the contextual menu
* Click "Add"
* Quit "Printer Setup Utility"
The images below, that are left on the "Desktop", can be trashed, unless you prefer to keep the installer.

You should be good to go!

  • Free upgrade to Mountain Lion didn't download and now my code will not work again!

    Okay so I bought a new MacBook Pro on Sunday and as Mountain Lion has only just come out and I have just bought my notebook I qualify for the free upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion. After filling in all the required information I recieved my redeem code and it started to download. After several failed attempts with the same error message of "Hash Mismatch" appearing I finally gave up and left it for a day or so. As I have come on to my laptop today in an attemt to download to update, I have looked everywhere in App Store (purchases, downloads) and Mountain Lion is not anywhere. I have also tried to re enter the codes but it is saying that the codes have already been used etc.
    So now I am stuck and do not know what to do and I really dont want to have to pay the money to get Mountain Lion when I should be able to get it for free.
    Any help you could give me would be appreciated, even if it is just an apple support number that I could call and get everything sorted out.
    Thank you.

    After you press download, check your Launchpad.  The icon will show up with what looks like a white dot where you'd expect to see a progress bar.  That white dot actually is the progress bar, as ML is a 4GB download and can take anywhere from 1 to 15 hours, depending on your connection speed.  On the average 1.5Mbps economy connection, it will take about 7 hours to download.

  • I updated from Snow Leorard to Moutain Lion and now my internet will not recognise  my password. All other comps use the network but my Mac upgraded Mac Mini keeps coming up with either 'timeout' or 'user or password not recognised' ...help!

    Hello all
    I upgraded from Snow Leopard to the latest Mountain Lion OS and now my Wifi will not work. When I try and insert the password to my Wifi network states either 'connection timed out' or 'password and/or user name not recognised' please help...!

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
    Step 2
    Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
    Step 3
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts.
    Step 4
    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
    Step 5
    You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
    Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    Potential sources of interference
    Step 6
    Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.

  • I upgraded from leopard to lion and my epson printer will not work. I get a communication error

    I upgraded from leopard to lion and my Epson printer will not work. I get a error message comunication error. What can Ido to fix this I bought a new USB cord and it did no good.

    I suddenly had the same thing happen. I've had my new iMac for 3 months and at first my Epson Artisan 50 worked okay then yesterday I started getting the same error message other people on this support site have gotten. I tried ALL the advice given (deleating the Epson files from the library folder, etc. reinstalling older software) and nothing worked. With the newest iMac (and operating system) you cannot pick and choose which version of Epson software you want. You must use the 10.8 version or it simply will not open when you've downloaded it. Finally I found the comment above by den.thed and tried the OS X Mountain Lion: Reset the printing system suggested. As much as I hated to lose all my printing presets that took a lot of expiermentation to set up, I was desperate. I tried it and it worked. Now I just have to consult my old computer and try to recreate all my printing set ups.  So to others with Epson / Apple 10.8 issues this may help when everything else fails. Thanks den.thed for your advice.

  • Upgraded to ios6 this morning on iphone 4. Now my email will not work and the settings are correct

    Try a couple of basic troubleshooting steps that can apply to any iPad issue.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit the mail app and restart. In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    None of these things may work, but without more specific information, they are a good place to start.

  • Transferred CS4 to new MacBook Pro, now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. Help!

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. I transferred my CS4 from my older MacBook Pro to my new computer, and although it seemed to be working fine now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. These fonts are installed on my new computer, can be found in InDesign CS4, and work fine within the program but will not appear in PDFs. The letters turn into rectangles. Does anyone know why, and how to fix that?
    Help/input would be much appreciated. Thank you!
    Kristen.

    Hi,
    You can not find support for Windows 7 from HP site. I believe it should work with Vista driver. Please use this:
       ftp://15.217.49.140/pub/softpaq/sp35501-36000/sp35682.exe

  • I use an iMac 10.6.8 with iPhoto '09 to download digital images from Canon DSLRs. Until the last two weeks there has been no trouble whatever importing images by  a USB connection from either camera to the Mac. Now the process will not kick in. Any ideas?

    I use an Mac OSX 10.6.8 with iPhoto 09 to download digital images from two Canon DSLRs. Until the last week, there has been no problem whatever in launching the import procedure once the USB connection has been connected and the camera switched on. Now the process will not kick in at all for either camera.  I can't find a solution through iPhoto help or from other sources.
    Any ideas to fix?  (I admit I have not tested the USB cable at this time).

    What does "kick in" mean?
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
    Post back with the result.

  • Upgraded from 17.0.9esr to 24.0esr, now all downloads are not visible at all anywhere

    I just upgraded from 17.0.9esr to 24.0esr. At first I noticed that download statusbar didn't show any downloads when they were downloading, so I decided to remove it. That didn't change anything as I cannot see them in Tools->Downloads tab. I tried messing with the browser.download.useJSTransfer and browser.download.useToolkitUI, as I have seen in my search, but they do not help. I also tried changing the private browsing mode options, and although I can see that downloads fail, I cannot see when they are downloading. I'm not sure what is going on.

    Ok, I did what you said, I clicked the download button that opened the about:downloads tab, I opened the Library.Downloads, I went to sourceforge to download something, or I can go anywhere, but in the about:downloads tab it always says "There are no downloads." even tho I can see that there is a file.zip.part on my filesystem and I can see that something is downloading using my internet monitor. Interestingly the download never completes properly as there is always a .part file. There is also nothing displayed in Library.Downloads.
    Well, I guess I will try resetting all the settings, even tho it wasn't what I wanted to do, because I have to configure a lot of stuff after that to get to the way I want. I will post if this fixes it or if I can identify exactly the cause.

  • The college uses, E-bray, to read the E books from the library. The previous version of Firefox worked great with the plugin. When I upgraded to the next version of Firefox now the plugin will not work.

    E-bray is a reader that allows me to easily read the college's Library's selection of electronic media. I am running version 5.0 of Firefox and the other version worked fine. It may have been version 3, I think. I have version 3 in my download. Can I load this version back onto my lap or will this really mess things up?

    Try loading and using the add-on from this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
    Many add-ons do in fact work if you force them to run. The procedure to roll-back is given in this article: [[installing previous versions of firefox]]
    Unfortunately the official Firefox policy is that you downgrade to 3.6 which is supported for a while longer, and not the now unsupported Firefox 4. If after installing and running the ''add-on compatibility reporter'' you still have problems there are ways around the official policy.
    I think it is absurd that Firefox 4 may be used by tens of millions of users one day and a few days later those that upgrade to Firefox 5 should be not only told not to use a now unsupported browser, if they need to revert due to problems, but are actually obstructed in attempts to do so.
