Bad print to new Epson after OS X update

I talked with Epson once again to see if there had been any updates. They gave me this to try and so far it seems to be working.

1. Apple-->System preferences-->Print and Scan

2. Select your printer (mine is a 7890)

3. Click the Options and Supplies button

4. Click on the drivers tab

5. Change the "Process Job by Printer", from "on" to "off"

6. Restart your printing program and try to print

Hopefully this helps!

iMacMommy:

your recommendation worked ( at least for the first time now I could print directly ) in my Epson 7900 Printer.

We shall see what the future has for us tomorrow. I have the feeling that this will be it until Apple and/or Epson correct the problem all together.

Thank you kindly for sharing. Also thank you for waiting on line for Epson. Lots of us were not that patient or that lucky..or both.

Week printed normally, now the problem has returned

I have tried what Epson suggested and that is dump the Epson folder from library, repair premissions and reload epson, this worked, however turned computer and printer on again this morning again the same problem. Each time I dump the Espon folder it clears all Epson printer and this is becoming a real pain. Any solutions??

using iMAC running 10.8.3.

The Problem is Back!

Apple notified me just yesterday that there was an Epson update that needed to be done. I ignored it. Going to the Epson site, I find no update listed. Photohoward1, did you, by chance, do that update?

None yet.

I followed IMac Mommy's guide, which also came from Epson yesterday, however the :driver: tab did not show. I reloaded the printer drivers directly from the Epson site and now the "driver" tab shows - printing OK now, will see tomorrow.

So far the best solution to the problem is what iMacMommy has suggested.(see above)

I tried it and it worked!. Unfortunately the problem returned a couple of days later. I again followed the directions 1 to 6 by iMacMommy.

The "process job by printer" was set to "on" again even though I had changed it as per points 5 and 6 to "off" before.

I changed it to OFF again

This worked and still works almost two weeks later!!!

Thank You iMacMommy.

Hello gang.....7900 user here(LR4) , reporting in....

I agree with other posters who've commented about there being a lack of reporting in byt he vast community of other epson owners out there....

I was going absolutely crazy, and unfortunately wasted hours on unecessary attempts at solving this problem.

mac mommy's simple fix is working brilliantly at the moment.

I will report back if this condition changes.

i am still using driver 8.66....i downloaded 9.04 but this drivers hasn't appeared to "take"

a big thanks to mommy and all of you who take the time to post fixes to get the rest of us going.

without you, the rest of us wouldn't live as long!

I am another user with this exact same issue - Epson 7890 - latest drivers and running 10.8.3

Hi

back again ;every thing was fonctionning as long as I refused the updating;I update to 10.8.4 yesterday morning,

and I got bad prints again this morning;

I must say that from my macbookair OSX10.8.3 I can normaly get prints

Please help

will try apple Mommy solution right now

Thank to every body

I have NOT updated to the newest OSX upgrade.

My Epson 7900 is working well with iMacMummy's suggestions

I had to follow the suggestions twice because the driver had changed the option back to the default ON

Setting job by printer to "OFF" WORKES IN ALL MY COMPUTERS.

IT WORKS!!!!!!!!

Thank IMACMOMMY

mille merci

have a good day

I can confirm that:-

"Change the "Process Job by Printer", from "on" to "off""

has worked in my case as well - and without having to delete and re-install the drivers.
