I haven't upgraded to an Intel Mac yet, Harlan (because I've been  
waiting for a MacBook Pro I think might do as a desktop replacement  
for me), so I haven't any advice about how to do it. But since you've  
just switched, I thought you might not yet know about some of the  
specifically-Mac online resources which might help.

For example, there's a nice small MacEpsonList, also at YahooGroups,  
and your 220 question should make a good introduction to it. In  
particular, I'll look forward to seeing Denver Dan's response to it.

The MacInTouch.com web site is a more general resource which includes  
topical Reader Reports, in this case "Printing" with an Epson subset.  
I skim at least the first screenful of MacInTouch daily (and use its  
Amazon link to partially pay for its free service).

If MacInTouch is our daily "newspaper", TidBITS is our weekly  
magazine, but it's more than that, and you can get it free off of  
tidbits.com or have it e-mailed to you free each Tuesday morning. But  
it's not so oriented to specific problems. So until the Mac users  
with a 220 on this list pipe up, I'd ask on the MacEpsonList and on  
MacInTouch.com's reader report on printing with Epsons.

Good luck; in a few months, I hope to be asking you MacIntel questions.
