Epson 2200 Printer Utility
« on: November 04, 2009, 06:51:14 pm »

Hello,

I recently upgraded my iMac to Snow Leopard. I'm not sure if this is the reason for my problem. I cannot find the Printer Utility (Epson 2200) anywhere. I read other threads on this topic and tried all the suggestions with no luck. I am pretty confident the program is not here.

How can I get another copy of it?

Thanks in advance.

Have you checked in /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter/Utilities/ ? BTW, I don't know if your 2200 driver is compatible with Snow Leopard. You might have to reinstall it and then test for compatibility. Read the technote regarding printing here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669. The 2200 seems to be supported only through Gutenprint.

Thanks Francois,

The directory you mentioned is one of the many places I checked, with no luck.

I will visit the article you mentioned at the Apple web site.

Maybe I can use this as an excuse to buy that Canon 9500 printer I have checking.  

Thanks again.

Don't blame me for this expense!

Francois,

Since you live far away from me I was planning on telling my wife the new printer is your fault. Guess I'll go to plan B. BTW, do you have any opinion about the Canon 9500?

Thanks again for your assistance.

There was a post here a while back about the Epson 2200 on Snow Leopard, and all that is available for that machine is the Apple/CUPS/Gutenprint Driver.

If you open the System Prefs panel, go to printers and then select you printer, then choose "Options & Supplies", choose the Utility tab and finally choose the "Open Printer Utility" button, it will take you to the Epson Printer Utility you are used to.  It's kinda difficult to find.  

I am having a problem where the drivers are not the same, or used in the same way and now my printing is "way off".  I am doing more research, and I hope I do not have to buy another printer to resolve. I know the P2200 is kind of dated, but it has still worked very well for my printing needs.

That's fine for me! I just hope that your wife won't be knocking at my door in the next few days! Let me know if she buys a ticket for Switzerland.

I heard good things about the Canon 9500 printer. At the moment, I'm using and Epson 3800 and I'm very satisfied although I've experienced a few issues with the PS/Epson/Snow Leopard combo!

All you need to do it reinstall the updated driver, and re add the printer.
