Epson driver and OS-X

Epson driver and OS-X

2004-05-12 by Steve Kale

I am sorry to ask a question that I know has been answered here before but I have waded 
through the archives and can't find the post I have seen before.  I just swapped the K chip 
on my MIS CFS from Photo to Matt and am getting Jobs Stopped.  I deleted the printer but 
when I tried to re-add it I noticed that when I select the printer all the drivers that appear 
are for CUPs and Gimp Print.  I must admit I have never noticed this before.   How do I use 
the Epson driver and not Gimp?  Isn't there some sort of patch...

Thanks

Steve

In the Print Setup Utility if you select USB or Firewire, you may get the GIMPs.

You need to select Epson USB or Epson Firewire.  If these don't appear, the printer is not 
connected, turned on, or something.

Also the Gimps/CUPS are known to cause disasterous conflicts with Espon drivers in some 
cases.  So I would say good luck.

The G/C's can be uninstalled in SOME cases with a uninstaller downloaded from the web.  
Or better by reinstalling the OS and NOT loading ANY printer drivers at all.

In extreme cases you need to reformat the HD, according to Apple whom I spent an hour 
on the phone yesterday.  After a following hour with Epson, they just recommended the 
resinstall and no drivers method.  

I found another solution for my problem fortunately.

Thanks.  I think I just missed the Epson USB vs USB.  I am sure that I have
had the Epson drivers up and running with no problems before (alongside QTR
etc).
