Thank you to all who replied to my Epson printer problem. Yes, I had discovered "LITE" when following Daniel's instructions.
Also the message "the printer is not registered" once I arrived at this point; therefore I apparently cannot take things any further. Possibly my previous Mac had all the registration details. When my husband bought me my lovely Mac OS X, which of course has Snow Leopard, and I connected the external hard drive (which Daniel had installed onto my first Mac), all programs etc transferred/copied beautifully to this machine and I was soooooo impressed. The "ink level status and buttons for “Nozzle Check” and “Head Cleaning”, not highlighted, cannot use. Problems - when we have bought programs for another Mac, I believe the newer Mac needs re-registering with new reg. numbers. For example, with my first earlier Mac I had bought and paid for Adobe. I was too busy learning and re-educating my ways of doing things from a PC and had never used the Adobe program. Now, although it has transferred to my new Mac, I cannot use the program. Too time consuming in today's world - of course I want instant results!
