Hi Nelson:
I am running a Dual G4 with 10.4.8 and printing to a 2200. It is
working fine. I had trouble though, in particular upgrading to the .7
and .8 from 10.4.4, but I think there was something wrong with my
system. However, a search revealed that there are problems for some
people upgrading to 10.4.6 and up from 10.4.4 and with HP, Epson, and
Canon printers (in that order of occurrance).
I am still having trouble with the epson utility for my 1270. I get
the endlessly spinning beach ball when I try to launch that. So I use
the button combinations on the printer.
When I had trouble, I went to the Apple Discussions site and did a
search for printer problems and Tiger. One of the suggestions for
people was to use the epson drivers on the Tiger installer. This is
the driver I am using.
Someone mentions a utility "Printer Setup Repair" from
www.fixamac.com which solved their problems, this might be a good
thing to have just in case.
