Hi Walter, I'm pretty sure that is not the latest driver for your printer to work in Snow Leopard. Did you install the Epson Printer Drivers from Snow Leopard disc? Have you run Software Update to see if it has an updated driver for your Printer? Let me know the answer to above before

Hi Walter, You're welcome, good to hear you are printing again :-) In the past, the default option was to install a whole boatload of printer drivers, though you could deselect one or more brands of printer that you didn’t expect to use. Now, by default, in Snow Leopard the installer
