I have also posted this in hardware as I am unsure whether it is a software or hardware issue.
I have an old graphite imac and an epson color stylus 740.
Everything worked fine even though I know both of these machines are pretty archaic by today's standards.
Recently the printer utility has been stopping every job I have tried to print. I have checked all cable connections, made sure that my computer recognizes that there is in-fact a print connected to it and that it is the correct driver. I have restarted my computer and printer several times.
I have been able to print off "test sheets" when you clean or align the printer heads with no problems but everytime I attempt to print an actual document the printer utility shows a blue bar beside the job in the queue for a few seconds and then just stops the job.
If anyone knows how to solve this that would be great. At this point I've tried everything I can think of sort of an "archive and install."
