Here is the UK link, which is about the only place you'll find it. <http://www.epson.co.uk/cgi-bin/searchdrivers_eul.cgi> (I went to the UK site and did a search for Stylus 740 and Mac OSX incase the direct link doesn't work.) Hopefully that, and Rod's suggestions will help solve the problem. Like Rod said it's a bit of a hit and miss thing. Hope that all helps.
