Does the driver have the "Color Controls" and "ICM" "No Color Adjustment" options?

Is the nozzle check perfect?

Usually what I see with non-epson carts is an initial warning that you just ignore.  If lights are flashing, the printers usually don't work at all.  That is usually when there is a bad chip or connection to the chip.

I'm Windows, so Macs might react differently to the various problems.  However, over the years it seems once you get to a full Epson driver, most things are the same.  At one point, however, the "color controls" of the Mac drivers had somewhat different characteristics than they did with Windows.  As such, ICCs made for "color controls" in Windows were off a bit when used with Macs.
