Epson SP RX680

I am having the same problem... I am Trying different drivers that ARE listed when U go to add...but no luck yet...seemed to work out of the box at first...then when I did the leopard update from Epson that's when it happened.... tried uninstalling reinstalling..no avail..What the heck?

Ok it looks like if U choose Epson Stylus Photo RX640 - Gutenprint v5.1.3
it does work..... Don't try Rx700 u Will print page after page of blanks and Gobbly Gook.... This is not a "proper" solution but a work around till someone figures it out.

I had a similar problem with an Epson SP R1800, and found the solution on how to install the Epson driver in Leopard after seeing this YouTube video: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=D6cs7Z07k1g
I did work for me and I hope it'll work for you.

Good luck

I read the original posting from a CompUSA store that I work at. I'm a retail marketing representative for Epson.

I purchased a new iMac three weeks ago, and opted for a Epson CX7400 printer in the rebate program. The printer worked great under OS X Tiger system.

This past Thursday I finally received the Leopard up-date program from Apple.

Shortly after installation I tried to print a document, only to find that the CX7400 would not print.

I removed the Epson software, re-installed it again. Received an error message stating that the "Print Queue" was not installed, and said to refer to documentation. WHAT DOCUMENTATION????

Next, I went to the Epson Web site, and downloaded the latest drivers. This has to be the answer....NOT!! I have removed and installed all of the above 3-4x with no results.

I'm going to follow the information on the You Tube video, and pray for a resolution.

Thanx for the info Pedro..tried it but no luck with this method... RX680 simply does not show up in the list...even tried "Epson New Stylus Photo Series 1.3" Driver still no luck..so far RX640 driver seems to be the only thing that works... 8 (

Hello Pedro,

The "You Tube" tutorial worked perfectly. Just make sure that you have installed the Epson softeare and also the Apple up-date drivers first. Then use the You Tube tutorial to make it all happen.

Thank you!!

Pedro,

The "You Tube" tutorial worked perfectly!! make sure that you have fully installed the Epson software, and the Epson driver up-dates first.

Cheers

Glad to hear that it did work for you.

Cheers!

If you follow carefully the steps it should work for you also.
Just read the results form others in this thread and you'll see that the procedure works for the RX680.
Don't forget to go first to the Epson site and download the last driver for your printer, installed it and then follow the YouTube instructions.
After you install the Epson driver, it WON'T show on the printer list UNTIL you follow those steps.
Try again and let me know.

Good luck.

Ok.... I got mine working!!! Here's what I did...First Off I had all the Leopard Drivers already installed...I UNPLUGGED the usb cable from the Mac....then removed the RX680 from the Printer List in the Print & Fax Pref Pane.... Then I Ran the CDROM again and let it tell me the drivers were already there or unneeded...then When I hit Finish it asked me to plug in the RX680...Voila! it worked Checked the back in the Print & Fax Pref Pane and the driver was chosen for me.... So I was weary of it just being a downgrade so I ran the Leopard update again and it said it was already installed....

Sooooo.... I hope this helps U.. the key seems to be the unplugging and the let the CDRom Installer tell U when to plug it in.....GOOD LUCK!!!

I had the same problem with a new iMac running leopard. I installed the new update from Epson. Then I went to my system preferences and deleted the printers and then added the printer again. Worked like a charm. Printer works fine! Give it a try.

I just bought an Epson CX7400 yesterday. The You Tube video doesn't work for me because everytime I deselect the printer NO PRINTER appears in the add a printer box and I am unable to enter any printer data whatsoever (it just keeps giving me the "boing" sound.) The only thing I have had happen so far is either: (1) print a blank page; or (2) "communication error." Now I have to go through this process of finding and adding the printer another complicated way - - I have virtually no tech saavy. Anyone have any suggestions other than the video?

I have the same problem everyone else has. Communication error, printing out half a sheet, whether plug into the airport or the computer. What is this video the Woodge was talking about. Or what are the steps to getting this thing to print that you had to do please?
