Digital BW, The Print

Charlie, you may have the solution. The error message you got is the 
same one I did when I tried installing with the USB after getting 
the other error messge with the Firewire. You know, I spent an hour 
on the phone with Epson "support," specifically with a tech who had 
never heard of this problem and ascribed it to a failure in my OS. 
Wish I got your person. I am going to give your suggestion a try and 
will let you know. Thanks again.
David
