Printing problems with High Sierra

Sheltiedog2 -- I can't thank you enough for your work on this, and for your willingness to distribute it to the rest of us. I'm just savvy enough to attempt to solve this problem on my own, but newbie enough to have to YouTube what a "terminal window" is. Between your solution and accompanying video and those of a few others explaining your terms, I was able to resolve this extremely frustrating issue. Many, many thanks. -K

I have a similar problem with a Canon Selphy photo printer. When I try to print wirelessly, whether through my Wi-Fi or direct (using the printer as an access point), it will print one or 2 pictures and then it will not print until I power off the printer and power it back on. When it stopped printing, the print queue will say it's connected to the printer, but the printer screen never turned to say "busy" which means it is receiving info. I am not sure what happened in High Sierra, but this used to work in Sierra.

Tried to print a picture from Capture One and this is showing a different printer options.

My printer is EPSON Stylus Photo PX730 but the installed profiles are Epson Artisan 730 which is a different model.

In Sierra the profiles were Epson Stylus Photo PX730. Maybe the crap starts here?

Hello, i tried in every way, i have the same problem, i think the problem is the driver 😐

Hello! This is a problem (PX730WD), no solution. Only the Apple product does not work with airprint. Windows is good.

PX730WD

Supplemental High Sierra update installed, Epson 3.3 software installed still NOT printing but scanning is OK.

yes printing on WIN10 is OK.

wow, nice! except that I understand nothing.

May i ask you the url for the latest version of Epson Software updater with references to high Sierra? Thanks :-)

Perfect. Worked for me like a charm

For me it worked. Thank you very much!

I have recorded a Quicktime video of adding the printer via CUPS. Note you may have one more step to authenticate with your Mac system password.

No quick way to find the driver but you will be presented with a long list of the installed drivers. These are fairly human readable based on the printer type.

The original instructions are

1. Reset the printer queue
2. Enable the CUPS interface
   enter "cupsctl WebInterface=yes" in a terminal window
3. Access CUPS via a web browser on port 631http://localhost:631/
4. Select the Administrator tab and Add Printer
5. Go through the options, selecting the right printer driver etc
6. Print!

Hope this helps.

1) Remove the Epson printer from the list of printers in Settings/Printers

2) Download the Epson Software updater from Epson's site (https://epson.com/Support/sl/s select your printer, then go to Utilities and download the Epson Software updater.

3) Run the updater.

4) Add your printer back in Settings/Printers.

Ok! My previous posts seem to indicate I had solved the problem each time but problem kept coming back after a few prints. However after doing some more searching I found this link. https://epson.com/Support/wa00720

I followed the linked procedure on the 4 other macs in the house that had experienced the problem (but hadn't been worked on). Worked instantly after having made this change.

In essence:

Go to System Preferences>Sharing then copy your computer name from the appropriate box e.g. "Bobs Computer"

Go to System Preferences>Printers and Scanners and click on your printer. Click the "Options and Supplies" button. Paste in the computer name from above in to the Location box.

Close out of your System Preferences and print! (One hopes...)

Good luck!

I have exactly the same problem and - sorry - no solution so far. I tried all solution proposals posted in this thread.

The printer model is EPSON PX730WD, iMac mid 2011, macOS 10.13.1

Printing via IOS or Windows works fine.

Is there anyone, who has a running PX730WD (AirPrint or Ethernet connected) and macOS 10.13.1?
