I am very jealous!
Apparently this is a known issue. I am surprised that you are problem
free.
When I call Epson they say that it is a known issue and the solution is
to:
A - Re-install the system software with the "Erase Disk" option and not
install any Apple supplied drivers- No kidding they actually said that!
B - De-install the GIMP drivers. - which obviously disables QTR.
I have a theory that if the EPSON USB printers are pre-defined before
the GIMP drivers are installed that things will be OK and that the real
problem is that the GIMP software disables the ability of the Printer
Setup Utility to discover Epson USB devices.
I will try this tonight.
