Title: Epson R2400 & MacBook Pro v. 10.5.4
Post by: jtannen on July 12, 2008, 03:01:44 pm

I recently purchased an intel-based MBP with OS 10.5.4. When printing from Photoshop CS3, my Epson R2400 abruptly stops, ejects the paper and displays the print monitor a communication error message.

I spent a couple of days with Epson & Apple support, tried the following:

Switched from firewire to USB (direct connection).

Removed all EPSON Printers and downloaded intel-based driver from the Epson site.

Ran Repair Permissions w/Disk First Aid.

None of this helped. Has anyone else experienced Mac 10.5.4 / Epson R2400 incompatibilities?

Thanks!
Jason

Jason,
Does any error message appear in the console (/Applications/Utilities/Console.app) when you try to print?

Try zapping the PRAM on your MacBook Pro.

If that fails, get yourself a copy of DiskWarrior 4.1 (do NOT use an earlier version of DiskWarrior on a Leopard system), boot from the DW CD and have it rebuild and repair your hard drive.
