Christina...
Making a change to any new OS, be it cross platform, or even within the PC
realm from XP to Windows 7, will always wreak havoc with the associated
peripherals, until the drivers for them are all updated AND debugged.
Unfortunately that's a fact of life in this world we live in, where we the
end users are the unpaid beta testers.
Did you ever notice that the computer industry is only one of two businesses
that call its customers "users"? The other is drug dealers...
But I digress...

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.
