Epson - why no uproar ? OK,
After listening to the guys at CompUSA (including the "Apple Guy" with the Apple Shirt and name tag) that I should buy the Epson C80 printer, i get it home only to find out it is NOT 100% Mac Compat as there are NO drivers for this brand new color printer, but hey there is a CD with the Mac OS9 drivers, and all flavors of Windows, INCLUDING Windows XP.
I thought Epson is supposed to be Apple's best friend....
Luckily my WinXP box I have can print to it, it is a very nice printer, and right now I am pushin my documents across the network to the WinXP box, and then printing them from their (I use VNC on the Mac so I dont have to switch systems to control the WinXP box)
So - why isnt there a load roar about this ? No press about it, nothing, total silence. I called Apple, they said it is Epson I shuold be calling, I call Epson, Twice (once on monday of this week and again today) the Tech who answered on monday said that OS X 10.1 has NOT been released, and the drivers on the CD (WRONG) Today the tech I called stated that "Epson is working diligently to upgrade certain printer models, but my brand new C80 is not on the list......)
Screwed by Epson ?????? |
