Installing EPSON Color 3000 PPD on 10.5 Leopard

The problem was that the Mac version of the PPD file contains some illegal characters (as confirmed using the PPD checker at www.cups.org). The solution therefore was to use the Windows NT version of the PPD file from the EPSON StylusRip CD...Leopard happily accepts this and everything is now printing perfectly (when I saw perfectly, I mean the same as 10.4...there are still positioning issues with InDesign CS3, but that's another story!)

Tennant,
You are clearly ahead of the rest of us. Can you send the PPD file with info on how to achieve this workaround? My original Epson RIP disc is so old, it's pre-NT-- it's for Windows '95/'98 and Mac 3.0. I'd love to be able to use my Stylus Color 3000 with Leopard. I'm dianne@mindspring.com. Many thanks.
