What part of the driver? The whole or is it just the colorsync area that
gives you grief?  I don't use the colorsync drop down as I've never achieved
good results from that.  I find the "print space and rendering intent
without color adjustment" to be a great improvement over the old "printer
management" nonsense.

I don't use OS X yet, I'll get it with the G5 and I'm in no hurry to buy it
special ... I do agree that it is beyond incomprehensible they have not
written drivers for it given that the Mac/Epson user base is not a wee
group.
