OS-X, Epson driver and MIS: Jobs stopped

2004-05-14 by William John Smith

I have been using OSX and Epson Drivers and CFS with both a 1160 and 
1280 with UT and UT2 without a problem.
Also with a 2200 with Epson carts..
If you can print with the  Epson carts but not MIS it would seem to be 
to be a MIS problem, the chips should
be the same, the driver is looking at the chip not the brand of ink.
I would get another from MIS and try it again.  If MIS is the problem 
they will take care of it, they are
very good at being fair.
