Re: Epson Stylus Pro 3880
Morning All, Not sure if this will solve issue, but I have noticed some strange behaviour with print queues recently. This happens when a job for some unknown reason does not print or sits in Que. Waiting, why??? (printer off, connection not available, out of ink/toner??) First point of call for all printing problems is the CUPS Administrative page via browser through localhost:631 directly from machine attempting printing. Click on Administration tab then printers which will list all printers - status column will show actual error. Most times just deleting actual print job solves issue, done from Jobs Tab, make sure go back to Administration page. Then, Jobs - Manage Jobs button this will produce a list of jobs waiting, cancel job and try again to print from printer. Password if asks for, being an administrator of your machine.

Re: Epson Stylus Pro 3880
Hi Rosalyn, I don't know if it will help, but you can check various aspects of the printer/print queue by using your browser to look at the CUPS area (behind the scenes in the Mac OS) - easier to do than to explain! On my computer, the following URLs are relevant (for your computer you would replace the nrh-iMac27 with the name of YOUR computer - which you can see by looking in the Sharing pane of System preferences): http://nrh-imac27.local:631/ takes me to the top level (home) for CUPS which presents links to lots of info about CUPS. Clicking on the Printers tab (or directly inputting the following URL) takes me to: http://nrh-imac27.local:631/printers/ which gives a list of installed printers (in my case, at present, just one Canon iP4000) and their status (in my case, current status for the Canon is Idle) You can then click on the actual Queue Name for your printer which will take you to the actual page for that printer - in my case: http://nrh-imac27.local:631/printers/Canon_iP4000 Which gives a bit more description - ie Canon_iP4000 (Idle, Accepting Jobs, Shared) Obviously your set-up would give you printer name, rather than the Canon. As I say, I don't know if it will help you - but some of the status descriptions may give some pointer to your problem. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

Re: Epson Stylus Pro 3880
!! CORRECTION!! Following up on this - with my original URLs (using computer name) some links (eg the Admin page) gave 403 forbidden errors. Rob Davies' post pointed me in the right direction - use local host (thanks Rob!) For completeness, I have corrected my original post (below) to reflect this but, as Rob says, you can probably just cut to the heart of it by going direct to the Administration page at: http://localhost:631/admin Rob's experience is that deleting the existing job(s) in the queue usually clears the problem. One thing I sometimes find works when things hang is just to pause the printer and then resume it. Good luck! Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

Re: Epson Stylus Pro 3880
Hey Rob, thanks for that tip. Our Epson 510 was out of yellow ink and we knew others were running low but the ink status monitor showed as being disabled. I switched the printer off, unplugged the usb, switched it on and replugged the cable, and voila ink levels show again. Hmm, well now we're off to buy 5 new cartridges! Thanks for the tip. I hope Rosalyn solves her problem just as easily.

Re: Epson Stylus Pro 3880
Most USB things come to life with that sort of basic method. The hot plugging in kind of wakes things up again and the turning off and on makes sure the printer is not in a error state.

Re: Epson Stylus Pro 3880
Hello Rosalyn Something similar happened to me last week. My Epson 1270 kept stopping half way through a printed page. I tried all the same things you have, including permissions etc. etc., but to no avail. I went to the epson site and re-installed the recommended software. I then did a software update and installed the Apple recommended update. And it all went back to normal. It may have been that I had not printed a multiple page document since installing 10.6.4 combo update. It may be worth a try. I certainly understand your frustration.

If that doesn't work delete the printer again (from same place in System Preferences) restart and do a PRAM Zap (Command-Option-P-R on restart, google pram will have steps). Then add printer again. Also try another USB Cable after the above as well. Just a few more things to try.
