I installed the Epson C86 driver software from the CD and would then add the printer with the Printer Setup Utility, like I always do. I chose EPSON USB, but the printer did not show! I then tried installing the printer at my IMac G4 (also OS 10.3.6) - no problem. But the G5 won't recognize the printer. I run Epson 2200 and 1160 on the G5 without problems, but the C86 won't show up! Apple Support Forum has several posts about this problem with some specific Epson printers in combination with G5's. Noone has a solution other than using the Gimp Print drivers instead of the Epson driver. That works. Do you use G5 with C86 ??? > It is not a problem of the hardware but software.
