OS-X, Epson driver and MIS CFS: Jobs Stopped
2004-05-14 by Steve Kale
Has anyone managed to get an MIS CFS up and running in OS-X with the Epson driver? The original chip on the K cart sent by MIS was for PK ink and prevented me from printing to matt media with the Epson driver. However if I selected an RC paper then I could print fine. They then delivered what is supposed to be an MK chip which I have placed on the K cart. But I still can't print to matt media (Archival Matt Paper paper setting) and both matt and glossy media types appear for selection - ie the driver doesn't seem to know what ink type is installed. In fact, now I can't print to any media type except Plain Paper. When I spoke to MIS last time they professed to not being very Mac knowledgeable. The usual fixes don't seem to work: I have run Print Setup Repair; I have replaced the CFS with Epson carts and got it working fine and then added a new set of printers with the CFS installed (a la the trick for switching between PK and MK Epson carts). I am wondering if I have received a bum chip or something. Unfortunately OS-X gives no info as to why Jobs Stopped. Thanks Steve
