The problem was that my mom lives on a farm in rural California, so her only broadband Internet access is via satellite. And in her case, HughesNet imposes a daily bandwidth cap of MB to I presume prevent people from saturating the connection with large file downloads euphemistically called the Fair Access Policy. System and application updates continue to increase in size, however, which can easily blow past that cap.
Fortunately, Apple pointed me in the right direction. Gutenprint is an open-source collection of drivers formerly called Gimp-Print for a wide range of printers. After that, it printed just as it had before I installed Snow Leopard. The Gutenprint driver offered by Apple is at version 5.
I wish Apple and other companies would acknowledge that updates that are hundreds of megabytes in size are not convenient or even possible for many people. It is obvious that large updates are incovenient. No one, not even Apple, has to acknowledge this. In your situation, the problem is that your mother's internet access has a hard limit which prevents modern use of the internet.
This includes streaming video, streaming television shows, etc. She can't even use YouTube. Unfortunately, that's your mother's choice of living where she does. You can't expect modern conveniences in the middle of nowhere. In her situation, I bet she doesn't even have cable TV. I'm having about the same problem with my Lexmark X I finally got it to show up in my Printers by adding it with an IP address, but when I try to print to it I get the message "Problem communicating with the printer".
Any suggestions? I don't see Gutenprint either. Where do I find it? Thanks, Carol IBook G4. Mac OS It should have your printer drivers on it for both Windows and Mac. The Lexmark Edn does have drivers. Select it and install. Login Register. Search this site:. Latest Comments. Copyright Linux Foundation. All rights reserved.

Hi and especially to Steve Campbell. I followed your advice and downloaded and installed from the Epson web site the R print driver. Hey presto it works. Did a test print and I'm up and running.
Cheers, from reading everyones comments this saved me hours of pulling out my hair which I have very little , kicking the dog so to speak , swearing and thinking what the hell am I doing wrong. Once again Steve cheers. I have the same problem I've already downloaded the correct drive from epson 6. I followed all the steps from the link above with a funny detail I can't find a portuguese site to help me.
I have the same problem and feel like I've tried everything! Done the Apple recomended removing the old drivers thing, even tried several different drivers from different Epson countries.
