How to make OS X recognise your Epson

dougbm@ozemail.c · 04-26-2007, 02:05 AM

I have found that for OS X to recognise my Epson 7600 or CX3100 it is necessary to have the printer CONNECTED to the computer and TURNED ON.

THEN you can sucessfully INSTALL the driver package.

THEN you can find your printer and ADD it in the printer list.

It's pretty simple and I am surprised Epson and Apple don't know this.

This works with OS 10.4.9

That's true for pretty much all USB printers with installable drivers. It's the opposite of Windows where you usually have to install the software prior to attaching the device for the first time.
