Where do I download the Epson Printer Utility?

I recently purchased a 24" iMac. Previous to that I had a PowerPC PowerBook. I used Migration Mgr. to port all of my files from my external HD back to my new iMac. Somehow, in all of that, my Epson Printer Utility vanished. It is not to be found anywhere on the external HD. I have no idea.
Yesterday, I downloaded the new Intel Epson printer drivers form Apple. My Epson R2400 now prints as it should. However, my colors are off which tells me that my ink levels are low. But without the printer utility, I have no idea cartridges need replacing.
I have searched without any success for Epson's Printer Utility. If anyone knows of a source for this I would be very grateful for the link.
Thanks,
Phillip Anthony

John,
After reading your post I didn't know whether to scream or cry. I think you just solved this mystery. Not in a good way mind you, but at least I now understand these issues a lot better.
To back up a bit: I did find a link for Epson drivers for my printer a few days back which I downloaded. And it is indeed the Gutenprint driver. This then explains how and why I spent all of today ******* in the wind trying to figure out why I could not -
1. Get my existing Epson Printer Utility to launch to check my low ink cartridge levels and;
2. Get my Epson Printer Utility 4 to launch.
All of these issues were due to the fact that I was using the Gutenprint Epson driver. Just great. Guess I will have to use my old PowerBook to print out my business cards. I am sure there will be other obstacles ahead with this issue. IMO, all of this is beyond stupid. There must be some other way to check my ink levels.
Anyway, because of your post, I now understand how all of this came about. Thank you for your very informative post.

  • 10.8.3 does not support the Epson Printer Utility.  Now no way to clean or align the heads on my workhorse R2400 printer?

    The Epson Printer Utility 4 still resides in the /HD/Library/Printers/EPSON/inkjetPrinter 2/Utility/UT4 folder but crashes the iMac when run.  I've also lost ability to use the Firewire connection like many others.  Frustrating.  Without being able to align and clean the heads on this printer, it's practically useless.  I have a couple hundred wedding photos to print.  What do I do now?  Rhetorical question ....

    Customers have moved to the Mac platform because they "believed" it's better than Windows. I moved there for this same reason more than five years ago.  Prior to Mountain Lion, I agree MacOS was stable and I could download every update that "pops up as available" in "There's a new update for MacOS" and I would download it without checking the particulars of what was updated.  I trust them, it's Apple.  Everyone would likely chose the same option.
    How many times do you, or anyone else, read all the detail about what gets changed when you download this update and mentally make a decison rather or not to download it?   Most people have no clue what this update changes, like me, and are going to download it because I trust "it" because it came from Apple. I don't want to find out later, and I may not notice this problem until a long time later, that something that used to work doesn't work now.  Is that my shortcoming or is it Apple's problem?
    So what should customers do?  After every update, check to make sure that everything works that used to work?  Impracticle.  I have dozens of apps on my Mac. After every update am I supposed to check that eah one still works?
    I won't go back and install a previous version from the TM and rebuild my Mac.  If Apple dosn't like previously intalled software, like the drivers for my Epson printer, they need to tell me upfront IN BIG BOLD LETTERS without me having to read all the fine print.  They also need to tell me that because THEY CAN'T DEAL WITH MY EPSON PRINTER any longer and I shouldn't download this update and any further updates for MacOS into the future because they have coersed Epson into only allowing Apple to update the drivers for this printer.  What am I supposed to do in the future?  I'm stuck with this old version of MacOS forever?
    You and I both know this won't work.  Apple has to provide support for my Epson R2400 printer and every other device that doesn't work under 10.8.3.  Otherwise they will lose in the end.  Simple as that.  They need to provide support for the devices that people use whatever they are, or suffer the consequences.
    Apple's successes have made them too "cocky" lately.  Microsoft was there at one time.  Maybe Mircosoft will climb back to the mountain top and Apple won't realize it until it's too late.
    Like I said in earlier posts, "Apple needs to fix this problem."  I have no loyalty to anyone except myself and family.

  • Has anyone found a way to use the Epson Print Utility with an Airport?

    I have an Epson Photo 2200 connected to the USB port of my Time Capsule. Everything has been working great until recently. Now I cannot use Epson Printer Utility unless I connect the printer directly to my Mac via the USB port. It does not find the printer. Connected directly, Epson Print Utility2 works properly. Epson Print Utility3 does not find the printer, even when connected directly. Reading the various discussion threads, I am not alone and the problem is with many, if not all of the Epson printers. The Utility worked fine at one time but appears to have quit working over the network probably around OS upgrade 10.5.2. In addition, you must use the Gutenprint driver when installing the printer. Epson's gives an error.
    Has anyone found a way to use the Epson Print Utility with an Airport print server with OS 10.5.2 or later?

    Before receiving this reply, I had other problems with the Gutenprint driver. I'm not sure what I did but after playing around for about a day, the Epson driver finally worked while connected through the USB port. The printer then worked with the Airport. The print utility still doesn't work without being directly connected. (It used to work while connected to the Airport. Until recently, I never connected the printer directly to a computer.)

  • Where can i download the Auto Upgrade Utility?

    I can't find it anywhere on your site. Im trying to upgrade the firmware of my WRT54GS since its power LED keeps on blinking. I'm trying to do the instructions on this link http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=175&p_created=1084205858&p_sid=btIGUT4i&p_accessibility=0&p_lva=703&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9Mjc1JnBfcHJvZHM9MCZwX2NhdHM9JnBfcHY9JnBfY3Y9Jn but i can't continue because i don't have the Auto Upgrade Utility. please help. thanks in advance.

    I had the same problem, and followed the instructions as provided in several posts on the internet, without much help.  Main problem was that I could not find the Auto Upgrade Utility or TFTP.EXE anywhere on the Linksys website, although I tried to use TFTP in Windows XP Pro.  It did not work; the result was Successfully transerred 311 bytes, although the file was 2.99MB in size.
    I called Linksys Tech Support and got a patient chap who didn't just tell me to go buy a new router, but knew what I was looking for.  The first chap hung up on me, because he didn't seem to know much more than what he was seeing on his screen prompts, which basically got him to: "Buy a new router!"
    The Auto Upgrade Utility can be located by going to the donwload page for the BEFW11S4 download page (http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/BEFW11S4/download) and selecting the v3.2 hardware, as this is the only one that displays the very particular Setup Wizard link for download; someone should lose their head over this one!  Why don't they just document this.  The filename is BEFW11S4-v2_SetupWizard.exe (aka the Auto Upgrade Utility).  Safe it to a folder on your hard drive.
    Once you have downloaded the utility and the latest firmware bin file for your router (preferably in the same folder), use these brief insstructions/tips to upgrade the router:
    Connect via an Ethernet cable to one of the router's LAN ports (not Internet/WAN port) at 10 or 100 MB/s, half-duplex; slower the better, but it worked at 100 MB/s for me.  Use a static IP address such as 192.168.1.101 for your computer.
    Make sure you can ping the router from the command prompt (ping 192.168.1.1).
    Reboot the router.
    Run the utility, and use Server: 192.168.1.1, Password: admin, and locate the firmware bin File from the earlier download.
    Again, ping the router from the command prompt, just to make sure it is still connecting and not timing out.
    Click Upgrade.  If all is well, the router will be upgraded without a problem.
    IMPORTANT:  Give the router a couple of minutes to reboot and settle down.  When I upgraded the first time, the power light was still flashing and I (and the Linksys technician) thought it had failed and unplugged the router to see if a reboot would solve the problem.  It did not.  I repeated the steps, and this time I waited a couple of minutes, and voila(!) the power light became steady and the router worked like it was brand new again! 
    Hope this helps.  Locating the Auto Upgrade Utility was the key to solving this problem for me.

  • AEBS and Epson Printer Utility

    I wonder if anyone knows of any work-arounds for being able to use the Epson printer utility while using Airport Extreme Base Station? Printer does not show up in window when it searches, since it's connected to AEBS, thus cannot use utility that shows ink levels, or cleans out heads,etc! I have to connect it back to desktop (or laptop)to be able to use.

    That is expected. See KB 107430, AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express: Can't use USB printer utilities while printer sharing.

  • Where can I get an EPSON printer for the original iMac?

    Where can I get an EPSON printer for the original iMac?

    You should look for an Epson Stylus Color 740 or the higher-end 900 or 980, which are about 12 years old now.  All have USB connectivity, and while the 900/980 is a better/faster printer, it's harder to find the ink tanks for it at the usual office supply stores.  Ink tanks for the 740 series seem to be more readily available, without a special order.  There were Mac versions of these printers (the 740i and 900i), with blue/ice housings that were color-keyed to match the fruit-colored "blueberry" iMac and Blue & White G3 mini-tower.  There was no Epson printer that was color-keyed to the original Bondi Blue iMacs.

    Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
    Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
    Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
    Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
    Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
    If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.
    Reinstall the driver directly from Epson's website.  If you are still having problems after the reinstall, you should contact Epson tech support for a solution and/or work-a-round. 

  • Epson Print Utility missing

    I insatlled the latest Guten driver so I could use the automatic paper cutter. I did not realize I would loss the support for the utilities. Which I find utterly stupid. Why would they take that away?? Who wants a printer that they are unable to clean the heads on or check your ink levels???
    I did a search and see that I have the Epson Print Utiliy folder in a previous sytem. Is this something I can use? I tried to copy it and drag it into the Libaray/Printer folder it did not work. How do I get it into the application folder where it belongs?
    If I can use Pacifist to do this can someone instruct me on how to do that??
    Thanks for any help on this.

    I did the custom install, restarted and opened print utilities and it sat their scanning for a printer (yes the printer is on)??? does this utility have to run with a specific driver?
    Did you add a printer using the Epson drivers? You may not want to use that printer to print, but it might be necessary to have a print queue with the Epson drivers established before the Utility will recognize it.
    I would try the Gutenprint Utility but I am pretty sure it does not support the Epson Stylus Photo 2200.
    Is there a basis for that statement? There are some Epson printers that do not work with the Gutenprint Epson Inkjet Printer Utility. Most will work, however.

  • Upgraded to Mavericks and Epson scanner software was quarantined.Powered on the scanner, plugged in the USB, clicked Software Update, and clicked Update for the Epson printer software. Update occurred by I chose "not now" to a dialog and it didn't install

    Hi, upgraded to Mavericks and Epson scanner software was quarantined. Powered on the scanner, plugged in the USB, clicked Software Update, and an Epson Printer Software Update appeared in the App Store Updatees area.  Clicked Update for the Epson printer software.  During the download, I was presented with a dialog asking me if I wanted the software to be automatically installed. I chose the "not now" option and as far as the App Store in concerned the software was installed, but it has not been.  Where did this go to and how can I force it to install?  Or is there some way to force the App Store to go through the download process again.  Many thanks!   Joseph

  • Can't find printer in epson printer utility

    just set up new epson sylus photo r220. works great but can't check ink levels because when i open epson printer utility no printers show up. if i try opening the printer fron the "print & fax" box in system preferences and click on "supply levels" i get a "information not available" box.
    any ideas?

    Syd, you only need the GIMP Print driver if your printer doesn't have a driver for Tiger that is available from your printer's manufacturer. If reinstalling the printer's driver from the Cd that came with your Epson doesn't work, then you'll probably have to reinstall the system this time deselecting the GIMP Print driver as an optional install. Then install the Epson driver according to the instructions that came with your printer if the driver isn't already installed by Tiger.

  • Printing problems after installing the Epson Printer Driver 2.16

    Has anyone experienced any problems after installing the Epson Printer Driver 2.16 through Software Update? I am having problems printing. It denotes an error message, specifically the rastertoescpii.app isn't working?

    Oops, wanted everyone to know that the driver that Software Update downloaded and installed was 2.18, not 2.16 (which was the last one that worked for me). I just got done downloading the 2.18 driver directly from the Apple support website and installing it. Guess what? My printer is now working and everything is fine. If you are having issues, I suggest this route. Guess I solved my own problem, but hope this helps someone else.

    If the issue still persists, then call HP Tech Support (US)  for further assistance.
    If you are in US , the toll free # is 1-800-474-6836 .

    If vze2mp9g wanted to know where to download the "Generic/Universal Printer Driver", he would have ASKED for that! Anyone could find what you gave him as a pathetic answer! Worse of all, you are more than likely getting paid for that answer!
    What was asked is "where can he download "HP Easy Printer Care" software!" I have the same printer with the same problem! If it's no longer available, then just say that it's not available! If you have to PURCHASE (buy it with money) it, then say how can he purchase it!
    I know that ENGLISH is a hard language to learn, but even if you look up all the words in the question on your iPad/iPod/iPhone/Android/ or what ever you have, you'll find all the meanings of the words. If you still don't understand the question, then it's English Grammer you don't understand.
    I'm asking you very nicely not to send customers on a "wild goose (a bird) chase", and be straight forward with your answer! I, personally, have called HP technical support when I first purchased my HP Color laserJet 3800dn printer, and they immediately recognized that I wasn't the average PC user who almost knows nothing about computers, and we "troubled shooted" the problem, and I was able to fix the problem without taking it to a HP dealer to fix!
    This coming Monday, June 17, 2013, I will call HP at the number your provided, and ask them if the HP Easy Printer Care software is available, and how can I obtain it. I will also mention the customer service support on HP's website forum was bad! Good customer service is to ASSIST (HELP) the customer and not just give the customer some generic answer which leaves the customer asking why wasn't the question answered "No, HP Easy Printer Care Software is no longer supported, if you want, you can download the universal printer driver for your printer." End of question.
    Thank You.

  • Epson Print Utility freezes often

    When I want to clean print head, I have to launch Epson Print Utility, but it usually have the color wheel spinning and if I go to finder or other running program and try to get to force quit, the color spinning wheels appears once I click the apple icon. the only thing to do is to restart Mac by pushing the start button. Sometimes after restart, I can get the print utility to work.
    Epson website is pretty much useless, so does anyone has any ideas or work around? I hate to have to restart my Mac every time when I need to print something. Thanks.

    Hi Randy, try this 1st...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
