Hi Wez Another thing I've found with 10.4 is that if you've done a standard install with Epson and Gimp drivers it sometimes "chooses" the Gimp Drivers over the normal Epson drivers, so you loose all the features. I did a couple of machines where they lost borderless printing. On closer inspection of the Printer window in System Prefences it showed it was using Epson <printername>-Gimp 1.1. What I actually had to do was go into the "more Printers" and add the Epson printer in that way. I didn't notice it first off as the Printer window was too small, so all I could see what the Epson blahblah- part. (I could see the dash, which gave it away once I realised that.) So this might not be the answer, but worth a look. Expand the window out and see what Epson driver it's using. :o) If it says Gimp, then you'll find you're losing some of the features. Hope that helps! Kind Regards Daniel --- Daniel Kerr MacWizardry Phone: 0414 795 960 Email: <danielATmacwizardryDOTcomDOTau> Web: <http://www.macwizardry.com.au> **For everything Macintosh**
