Digital BW, The Print

If you're using Panther, there is another driver. A GIMP driver, which you don't want.

Select the Epson driver 'SC 1160(USB)', not 'StylusCOLOR 1160', and you'll see the familiar 
options.

I use version 1.29e, which has been around for quite a while. It's named in the Summary 
window when you print. Under Panther, there is a ColorSync window that I don't think was 
present under Jaguar. I ignore it.

FYI, I learned this from the piezography list. Hope it helps.
