SCREW Epson - Printing To Unsuported Printers!

[csoledade]

Tonight I created my own print driver using Ghostscript for my Epson Photo EX with Ethernet AxisPrintServer.

It works beautifully! Took me 6 hours overall and I am getting photo quality prints!

Those bastards @ EPSON could easily support us if they chose to.... If I can do it so can the Epson engineers....

I will post complete instructions for this and any other Epson Stylus/Axis PrintServer combo in the near future. Got to go to sleep now...

Thanks to Jim who got me started with his article on doing something similar with his HP.

P.S. Now that I have the necessary things put together to replicate this install on any other MAC will take at most 30 minutes...

or you can hack the epson drivers, by putting your model no. instead of the other, i put 1290 instead of 1280 in ALL the files in the plugin package.

Oh goody!

I got a Photo Ex, and thought I can dump it.
Looking forward to your instructions!

Wehey! Cool! Great! Will it be possible to make drivers for the SC 580 with it?

I've been using Adobe Pressready emulated in classic, which accesses the printer directly, for printing (since I am printing from Classic applications at this point in time ANYWAYS). It's worked quite well with my HP1220C/PS.

Yes, printing in classic works for me, too , but I can't print from OS X apps
