If the print head is clogged would the Mac keep saying that it can't see the Epson printer? I constantly get a dialog that says I need the select the printer in the chooser.
It always worked in 8.6 but now it no longer does. I can live with the 9.2.2 and 10.4.11 not working at this time as long as it works in 8.6.. Then I can mess with the other systems. My HP works in 8.6 but not 9.2.2 or 10.4.11.
