Mac Printer Communication Error Epson

print anything. Now what? The number of causes and fixes for print failures runs wide and deep across the Mac troubleshooting landscape. Here’s a checklist of the more common solutions. 1. Check the Print dialog box An exclamation mark in front of the printer’s name warns of trouble. After a failed print attempt, press Command-P again. You’ll likely see a badge icon, such as an exclamation mark, next to the printer’s name in the Print dialog mac unable to communicate with printer box. You may also see a message appear, explaining the cause of the failure and how to fix it. Find the right printer: One especially common scenario occurs if you print to more than one printer. You may have not selected the one you intended. If your Mac is a laptop, you may have last printed to your cousin’s printer while visiting her in Topeka, but now you’re back home in Portland. The simple fix is to choose your intended printer from the Print dialog box’s Printer pop-up menu. If your print queue has paused, get it rolling again by clicking Resume. Resume a paused printer: Another common situation is that the printer was previously paused. If so, you’ll see an error message. Clicking the Resume button should get things going again. If it doesn’t, check the Print Queue, described next, to get more information. 2. Check the Print Queue If a print job has failed, the printer’s Print Queue icon should remain in the Dock, garnished with a badge that indicates trouble. To find out more, click the icon to open the Queue’s window. Don’t see anything in the Dock? Choose Apple menu > System Preferences. Click Print & Scan, select your printer in the list, and then click Open Print Queue. Resume a paused printer: Your print queue can pause automatically if a print attempt fails, perhaps due to a

Printer Not Connected Mac
I cannot print, get "Communication Error". Checked Epson's website, no luck there. Re-checked my wireless settings on the printer is not responding mac the printer itself and re-confirmed them, it will print test pages from the printer, but still not communicating with the iMac. I thought that removing the mac unable to verify the printer on your network printer and then adding it back in might help, but now I cannot add any printer at all.I resorted to my MacBook Pro, and now have the same problem with this as well.Any ideas please? What else can I check. My internet http://www.macworld.com/article/2029528/mac-troubleshooting-what-to-do-when-you-cant-print.html and so on are fine. The printer itself shows the wireless icon and says the reception is excellent on the printout it produced.Thanks so much!L. iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2), 3.4 GHz i7. 4 MB RAM, 1 GB Video Posted on Dec 18, 2011 7:37 PM I have this question too by PAHU,Solvedanswer PAHU Level 6 (16,610 points) A: It would be unusual for only Bonjour to stop working in the printer. The more likely is that the printer is set to a different network https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3580302?start=0&tstart=0 subnet to that for your Mac or, as you mentioned, something like a firewall is blocking it. The IP addressing is the most common cause. If there is a process to view or print the network settings for the Epson, then this will show what IP address range it has, which should be the same as your Mac. With the IP address, there will be four sets of numbers. For a typical home network, the first three sets are known as the IP subnet, while the last set is the network address. For example, a device with an IP address of 10.0.1.5, has an IP subnet of 10.0.1 and a network address of 5. For your Mac to 'see' the printer, both devices would need the same IP subnet, while having a different network address. So if you can check what IP address the Epson has, you may find it is using a different IP subnet to your Mac.
