Wow,
I had said to the list I was going all Mac. Well, my 2400 printer now doesn't work very well at all. Only some of the heads are firing it seems. I know it is not the printer, because it works normally on other computers, and it works fine if I use Ultra photo mode in Photoshop. I uninstalled the old driver and installed the downloaded new driver from the Epson site. Anyone have any advice on this or experience with similar inadequate printing? It wasn't only the firing of the sprayer thingies (technical term) that was the issue. I had to realign the heads as well. Many times. So caveat--if you are switching to the new Mac operating system be prepared for a lot of time spent with the peripheral drivers...

I also noticed that CS4 is a bit buggy with my 4990 scanner, too.

Didn't realize making the permanent switch to Mac would take so much time and dinkin' around. It has literally taken a week or more.
