My laptop has close to 20 listed, by virtue of a range of different printers located at various clients.

Like-wise in System Preferences. You won't find any reference to printer drivers in the Applications folder. You must go to the Print & Fax System Preference and, with the printer either directly attached (if USB) or connected by network cable, add the printer to your list of drivers by clicking the "+" button in the lower eft of the window. Mac OS X should automatically pick up both the printer and the correct driver. Try using Image Capture to see if the 1260 is listed under its Devices list. I can no longer comment on the default drivers that came with 10.4.11, but Snow Leopard lists both the 1260 and the TX600FW as being supplied by default http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#epson > Maybe I am trying the impossoible. > Merv No, this is all entirely possible. We do start to reach limits in what we can do purely by email, though.
