Digital BW, The Print

I'm thinking of buying an Espson 2200, and some of the reviews I'm reading, mostly older 
ones, mention that with Mac OSX you can't use the roll paper feeder, and can't print 
custom panoramic sizes. There were also complaints about firewire compatibility with the 
2200 and OSX. Has Epson come out with newer drivers that address these issues?  
Anybody know?
As long as I've got your attention, any comments about Sundance Septones with this 
printer, using a CIS?
Thanks
