It is not a problem of the hardware but software.  Having said that you 
should
have no problem using the Epson drivers with OSX.  How  did you choose 
the driver?
It is added with the Printer  Setup  Utility.   Need  a restart  after 
installing.  Some will
say that you need to remove the GIMP drivers but that is not so, I have 
both  drivers
running side by side.  More  info would  help.

I installed the Epson C86 driver software from the CD and would then add the printer with 
the Printer Setup Utility, like I always do. I chose EPSON USB, but the printer did not show!
I then tried installing the printer at my IMac G4 (also OS 10.3.6) - no problem.
But the G5 won't recognize the printer. I run Epson 2200 and 1160 on the G5 without 
problems, but the C86 won't show up!
Apple Support Forum has several posts about this problem with some specific Epson 
printers in combination with G5's. Noone has a solution other than using the Gimp Print 
drivers instead of the Epson driver. That works.
Do you use G5 with C86 ???
