Hi.

We just put OS X (10.2) on our iMac DV last night. It is great!

But we are a bit confused on how to get our Epson Stylus 740i printer to work. The driver should be on the Jaguar disk, but how do we install it?

When we go to the print center and try to select our printer, it says driver not installed.

Any advice you guys have on this subject would be great.

Thanks.

When you installed OS X, did you de-select the options to install the printer drivers?

You can install them with the 2nd CD and install the Epson drivers.

No, I don't believe we did that.

I put in disk 2 and installed the epson drivers again earlier today. But it is still saying that.

I'll probably try again later tonight.

Hmm. That's odd.

Try printing anyway. I bet it works.

That would be: 735i; 745i, 730d or 740d they don't make the 740i anymore, and the 740i never had iDrive
