Wireless printing to Epson Workforce 545 problem. One computer set up just fine but second iMac seems to set up and never prints. After first print shows "busy." On some occasions I have gotten error code 30866.
iMac desktop-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Can the printer be seen in System Preferences - Print & Fax? If it can then right click it and choose Reset Printing System... It will look similar to
This helped by getting me to a screen that showed the printer and Bonjur for the kind. What it didn't get me automatically was the driver. So I find the driver and get error code 30886. I download a new driver from Epson and get the same code.
OK, try this. In the Print & Fax preference highlight the printer, then click the - symbol below it to remove the printer. Then restart the printer in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. How you do this is when you hear the startup tone hold down the Shift Key until you see the progress bar. Let it fully boot and then restart the printer normally. If the printer isn't seen go back to the Print & Fax preference and click the + symbol to add the printer. If the printer cannot be seen then it may need to be re-installed on the router or you can always install it from it's IP address.
Of course also make sure you have the most up-to-date drivers from Apple, run Software Update to be sure.
I do not know how to "safe mode" start the printer?
Whoops that was a typo, I meant restart the computer in Safe Mode. My apologies for creating confusion.
I shut down the other computer on the network and installed the printer, I thought, successfully, on the computer. Although it looks fine when I went to use it, driver, address and all, it still could not find the printer. My temporary work-around for now, unless someone can help me, is I set up another computer with this printer "shared", then I went to the problem computer and set up the printer with the shared computer. This works, but it is not great since the second computer must be in use to print.
OK, but did you follow my instructions?
I will look up safe mode and try.
