A friend who suffers from having Epson printers (1280 & 2200) and Os 10, wrote me and said all his problems disappeared with Os 10.2.8. I just got on Panther 10.3.1 and right out of the box I got same usual problems of stopped job, unfinished prints. I did usual crap: repair permission, restart computer, re-add printer etc.

He thinks I should go back to 10.2.8

Wondering for other printer sufferers what has been others experience with Panther and printing.

Any what the heck is it about OS10 that creates this printing problems. Most agree they never see such problems in OS9.

Did you guys call Epson? Maybe you could try to re-install the print Drivers
