I can't find any specs for the Epson SC-64. I scoured the website, and I
downloaded the brochure:
http://files.support.epson.com/pdf/sc64__/sc64__sl.pdf
All the brochure says is "Connectivity: USB" and "Operating Systems: Win....
Macintosh system 8.5.1-9.2, OS X 10.1.3-10.2.x" (which is what the HP
website said before I bought _their_ printer, only to discover that it
required built-in USB).
I also downloaded the Epson Driver (1.21A). This latter download claims in
several places to have an included README file, but I couldn't find it.
I am _very_ interested in this topic (as some of you may remember from
previous posts), because I owe my wife an inkjet printer to hang on her
8500...
