Printing problems with High Sierra

Turd of a thing! Worked a few times then filtered out again, so to speak. Back to the drawing board.

FYI each time it fails I get a system crash "QuickLookSatellite quit unexpectedly". Fascinating. Wonder if its permissions error somewhere perhaps and the quicklook process is getting upset when its possibly indexing the print file or something. Mind starts ticking... Now to go hunting again.

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?

Same situation here, iOS printing is fine, macOS 10.13.1 fails on "finding printer" as did the 10.13.

The printer Epson PX730WD is connected to the WiFi router via LAN the Mac and all other devices trough WiFi.

Also the printing from WIN10 is without problems. The second printer a Brother bw laser, connected in the same way is printing from all OS without any problem

Not working.

I removed the printer, reset the whole print system and reinstalled the Epson Stylus Photo PX730WD.

The printer in the print manager is Idle (green mark) pushing printing immediately change to In Use (yellow mark)

and when the file was sent to printer changes to In Use (yellow mark).

The feedback is Printing - Looking for printer and then -Communication Error -

It does not work wirelessly, only via a USB connection. You probably wrote to me that there is no software on Apple's servers because I deleted everything from the (library-printers) folder, resetting from TimeMachine's backup, but it does not work.

Thank you so much! I installed the Epson software updater (as per your link), ran it, ran it again, ran it a third time until it told me my software was 'up to date'. Tried printing (from Photoshop), printer window showed 'Printer not connected' (as usual, though I had already reconnected it to the WIFi router and scanned successfully via WiFi), paused printing, restarted printing and bingo! Image printed successfully. Printed another. Set off another to print. Went off to declare to the world, problem solved! Returned to find: 'Printer not connected' again. Paused printing, restarted printing, rinse and repeat and yes, eventually, the third image printed as well. So, not fully solved but maybe halfway there. Maybe a bit more than halfway. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again.

Thank you, but unfortunately this does not work. The only solution would be for Apple to improve the High Sierra or Epson to release a new update. All other solutions, unfortunately, are only home improvement, half solution.

I used to have PX730 a while back and needed to replace as the ink wells became full, too much borderless printing.... The recall the driver did show up as Artisan which I think is the US name for the printer.

I've got the same issue with an Epson Artisan 837. The High Sierra update killed the WiFi printing on one of my MacBook Pro's while my other MBP came through the update just fine. Been working with Apple Tech support for two weeks with zero success. They are clearly clueless.

This worked for me! After many frustrating hours I finally found this post and it solved the same problem I was having with my Epson Workforce 845 networked over wi-fi. This is the sort of thing that makes a total lie of Macs being easier to administer. And why is this info not more prominently offered by either Epson or Apple? It all makes be grumpy. But thanks so much for figuring it out.

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.

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.
