I just bought the Epson WF-2540 on the apple website but It seems it's not supported by mavericks. it's not detecting the USB cable, it's not detecting the scanner... no sign of getting driver updates also...
Is there a way to make it work or do I have to bring it back to an apple store?

My newish Canon LBP 6000 printer periodically stops working. I've always managed to get it going again by reinstalling it. This time, nothing I do is working. Here is a screen shot of what I get.
When I try to print, (first window, top left), the "sending data to printer" message goes on endlessly. I tried unplugging the printer USB from the computer, and then got the second window ("the printer is not connected"/"the printer is offline"). If I try to get supply levels, through System Utilities, the information is not available. Does that mean the computer can't read/send data to the printer? When I try to open Printer Utility, I get the "Printer Error" message (last window) saying "there are no registered printers. Add a printer..." But I've added the printer several times, after downloading the proper software.
I reset the printer system. When I added the printer back on, it came up with the old information:
P.S. From the first time I set up the printer, about a year ago, it always took much longer to read a document and start printing than our almost identical printer at work. That one invariably starts printing (on a PC) within 2 or 3 seconds; mine, on the Mac, takes at least12, often more.

Need to covert my Kodak all in one to wireless. Getting tired of having to connect my pro to it. Are there in a ways to do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have installed an IP-printer on my Mac. To print something from this printer, I have to use an username and password. I wrote in what I thought was my username and password, and selected that my Mac should remember this.
Unfortunately I wrote the wrong username, and now, even though I've deleted the printer several times and added it again, I still can't print anything. The box that I wrote my username and password do not pop up.
So how do I delete the printer and make it forget my username and password?

I am an ex Windows user that finally saw the light, and bought a Mac with the latest OSX 10.5
My wife still belongs to the dark side and her computer runs XP. Our printer is connected via USB to her computer. I have tried to find out how to setup so that I can print from my Mac onto the printer through her computer. I am on a wireless network and file sharing is working fine. I googled the printer subject, but the only tutorials I found were outdated. Also, the printer I am trying to install is not in the default drivers preinstalled or available on OSX. The printer is a Canon MF4150.
I have an iMac (2gh Intel Core Duo) which I connect via USB to my printer (HP PSC 1500) when I go to print like this everything works fine. The problem is when I go to print from my MacBook Pro (2.4gh Intel Core 2 Due) wirelessly via my home network. I have turned on printer sharing on both machines and have the printer drivers installed on both as well.
When I got to print, I get the printer queue window open. It looks as though it�s trying to print and then I get this error message� �Fatal: opening printer connection failed, unable to open the printer connection, please check the printer connection and check the printer for errors�
The status of the printer then goes back to ready but nothing has printed.
Both machines are connected wirelessly to an AirPort Extreme Base Station.

I am trying to download a printer driver to connect my mac air (version OS X 10.9.2) with my printer (PIXMA MP250 series). how or where can I download and install one?

I have a USB printer connected to an iMac running 10.9.4. Printer sharing is turned on.I also have a MacBook Air, running 10.9.4. It does not see the printer.
All the instructions from Apple say I can share printers with "other Macs on the same network". I guess the MBA isn't "on the same network" as the iMac. How do I get them "on the same network" so the MacBook Air can see and print to the iMac's printer?

I've found out the hard way that Snow Leopard does not support the same printers as Leopard did and now I'm stuck. I spent the better part of the day researching how to get my HP LaserJet 4m Plus to work with the new OS and got nowhere. Can anyone tell me what I can do to get the printer to work with the new OS? The printer may be old but it functions flawlessly and only has about 50,000 impressions made, so it still has lots of life. I have it hooked up via ethernet and the cable is run under the floor to the other side of the office so adapting a serial/USB would not be doable or practical. I don't have the money to blow on a new printer so I would really like to make this work somehow. Any help would be much appreciated.

System Preferences / Printers: Says No printers are available.
Clicked on + to add printer: Add screen is devoid of any printers; says "no selection" in both Name and Location fields
Printer involved:
Epson Work Force WF-3540 - have had it for about a year and it has been working with no problems
Had a printer jam I couldn't find; rebooted a few times, etc. Eventually found the jam and then the above problem started. (I'm embarrassed to say that I found a toothpick inside the printer. It was once sitting on top and must have rolled under and in.)
All software up to date, except for a Pages update.
History of where I looked and actions taken (not necessarily in order):
Library/Printers was (and still is) empty, not the least because of multiple printing system resets.
-Have attempted to restore Printers directory from TimeMachine, with no luck. Epson printer drivers were restored, but System Preferences/Printers still blank.
-Have attempted to install original printer software from disk, but it hangs in the middle, saying that no printer connection can be found, despite printing being online.
-Have attempted to run Software Update to get latest printer drivers, but Software Update says that it is up to date and won't let me rerun.
-Have run disk utility to verify: disk = okay
-Have run verify disk permissions. Had loads of permission errors related to the printer library
-Have run repair disk permissions
-Have done the last two steps many times, but disk permissions don't get fixed and original problem has not changed.
Unplugged everything, took a break, factory reset printer, started all over. Nothing worked.
Also did the RESET THE PRINTING SYSTEM. Doesn't work. OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
Also tried to download the drivers from Epson, but they just tell you to use Software Update and I already mentioned that doesn't work.
The only thing in the disk permissions list that looked suspicious was this message:
Group differs on "Library/Printers"; should be 80; group is 0 (repeated for various sub-directories (Icons and PPDs))

Does Apple publish detailed instructions on how to share my second computer (Air) by using Bonjour?

OS X Mavericks (10.9)
I use MacBook Pro and I updated from the Snow Leopard to Mavericks, OS 10.9.5. My printer is Epson Photo R2000 WiFi Wireless.Before I updated, I very seldom had problems printing. Now after updating to Mavericks, I very very often get a 'Communication Error' , then
'Printing - looking for printer', then 'Printer not connected'. and if I click off and on the 'pause' feature several times, often up to 7 or 8 times, it will eventually print. Apple would probably say this is Epson's problem and Epson would probably say this is Apple's problem. but it is very difficult to complete my projects when I can't get the equipment to work properly.

Apple Genius Bar installed Mavericks on my Mac and I transferred information from the back-up, but now the Canon MP640 is not linked. Have not ben able to achieve this - the instruction is to go to Canon for latest software. Have downloaded what I believe is the appropriate software, but still cannot make the connection.

IMac, running Mavericks, connected to a wireless network. Using a Brother MFC-J6710 printer, connected wirelessly.
Recently moved printer and computer and am connected wirelessly. This worked intermittently. I started over, reset the wireless on the printer, and got a network report that says that the printer is connected to the wireless network.
On my Mac, I have reinstalled the Cups driver, Twain driver, and wireless setup wizard. When I go into the System Preferences>Printers, and try to add the printer, the printer does not show up in the list, so there is no evidence of the printer on my Mac. Similarly, I cannot see this printer on the wireless network from my IPhone either.

I am running OS X 10.9.4 in a MacBook Pro, Photoshop CC, and a Canon printer MG8220. I have installed the plug in Easy-PhotoPrint Pro that is advertised at the Canon site as fully supporting that printer. When I automate the plug in from Photoshop it does not work, allegedly because it does not support the printer. It may be be that in fact this is the case but Canon people insists in the compatibility. I have come to think that it may be a matter of drivers, but I have failed to determine unambiguously which one is driving the printer. Then, where can I check the drivers and/or replace them? Although this a matter between one hardware and two softwares clearly not Apple...

A few days ago I finally upgraded my iMac G4 (Flatpanel) from 10.4.9 to 10.4.11. I had not printed or scanned anything since then, but today I needed to do both, and they don't work. I think it has something to do with the upgrade because they were working just fine before that.
The printer is an Epson Stylus 777i
The Scanner is an Epson Perfection 640U
What could have changed, and how can I get my Mac and peripherals to work together again?
My Samsung laser printer used to work fine with the OSX driver but now it doesn't even print. The job is sent to the query but then the job disappears a few seconds later and nothing is printed. Same goes for the printer on my brother's new macbook, Panasonic printer with OSX drivers installed fine and the print job is sent to the quere and the job disappears but nothing prints.

I had read an article explaining how to configure a Windows 7 PC to print to a shared Mac printer (in Snow Leopard, but I assume it's the same in Lion).
So I shared the printer (an IP printer) on my Mac, then followed the instructions to add LPR Printing to Windows 7. I went to 127.0.0.1:631 and saw the CUPS page on my Mac, and the setup the LPR port on Windows 7 with the IP address of my Mac and the Queue name listed for the shared printer in CUPS. Unfortunately, when I enter the port info and click OK, it comes back with the error page listed in the article.
I've tried this on two different iMac's (a new 27" and a much older iMac with Snow Leopard). I also used three different Windows laptops (Windows 7 and Vista), and all three gave the same error. Basically, when I setup the LPR port, it cannot "talk" and confirm the settings with the Mac.
I've turned off Windows Firewall, tried basically everything I can think of (and I'm a tech, so I've tried a lot!). Anyone successfully printed to a shared Mac printer from a Windows 7/Vista PC?
