Depending on what other software you have installed your printer drivers may work or they may not. I had a similar problem with an Epson scanner when I switched. The first step is to delete and then reinstall your current Epson printer driver. If that doesn't work, download and install the latest printer driver from the Epson site. By this time most printer and scanner drivers have been updated to play nicely with OS 10.6. If you still can't print on the Epson, do a clean reinstall of OS 10.6. That usually fixes most operating system problems. As a last resort you can install a copy of OS 10.4 or OS 10.5 on another Firewire disc and start the Mac from the older software when you wish to use a piece of legacy hardware or software. I have several pieces of equipment whose manufacturer has gone out of business (e.g. Minolta DiMage film scanner) and the software is no longer updated. Good luck.

It worked just fine until I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard. Daniel
