Re: [Digital BW] Mac OS X update screwed up my epson 2200

2003-09-24 by Robert Damon

It seems that Apple has pulled the update. Check out the story here:

http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/2003/09/23/1028pulled/ 
index.php?redirect=1064403031000

There is also a discussion here:

page?a=tpc&s=50009562&f=8300945231&m=3060916685

Also check out http://www.macfixit.com/, http://www.macintouch.com/,  
and http://xlr8yourmac.com/

If you haven't installed it yet, you might want to wait. If you have,  
you might want to read these discussions. No mention of printing  
problems, however. You might consider posting your experiences with the  
update on the Ars forum (or one of the other Mac forums). There are a  
lot of knowledgeable people there. Also, try repairing permissions.  
Sometimes that fixes minor glitches.

Best of luck,
Bob
