connecting Epson 1400 printer to iMac 14.7.3 via USB

When I send a page to the printer, nothing happens. Is the printer compatible with the iMac?

Have you installed the appropriate ( Sonoma ) Epson Software Driver from Epson ?

From Epson and related to this printer and connections via USB


I see a communication error when I try to print with a USB connection. What should I do?

  • Try the following:
  • Make sure the USB cable is a shielded "AB" cable not more than 10 feet long.

    • Note: Do not use devices that extend the length of the cable because they can cause signal degradation.
  • If you're using a USB hub with your printer, connect the printer directly to your computer.

    • Note: Do not connect through a USB keyboard. The keyboard acts like a hub and can interfere with signal transmission.
    • Use a different port on your computer.
    • Make sure there is no error on the printer.
