Re: problems with Epson print driver and Leopard/Photoshop CS3compatibility

Hi Carmen,

I can't really help you-- only here to sympathize.  I had similar  
problems many months ago when I installed Leopard.  I am using an  
Epson 3800 and the GIMP (not Photoshop).  As with you, everything  
worked fine with Tiger.  The GIMP finally had an upgrade, which  
helped me, but Epson had a very recent upgrade as well-- just a few  
weeks ago-- which helped tremendously.  Sounds like you've done all  
that, though.  Unfortunately,  I still have to fake the numbers on  
paper sizes in order to print the sizes I actually need, which I  
shouldn't have to do (and never had to do with Tiger)-- but I agree  
that the real problem is with Leopard.  I've read and heard a lot of  
complaints.  I have no idea what they did.

Again, sorry I can't really help, though I suspect someone here can.   
I've also always found the tech support people at these places very  
helpful, particularly at Epson.

Diana
