We have a Epson Stylus PhotoR2400
Networked this printer using USB Netcomm Print server ued all the different drivers even Epson Photo EX-CUPS + Gimp v4.27 but printing following error code all the times "%%[Error: Undefined----]
But all the windows printing perfect.
Then I used Apple Extreme as a print server used the above driver Emac Print once then stopped.
But this printer works with macs as a standalone USP printer. We have couple of macs here to print How do I make this printer as a network printer.

Hi, I'm Greg, your Volunteer Tech.
The printer driver situation is much different on OS X than on Windows. Microsoft has control on Windows and warns you if you try to install a driver that doesn't follow the interface guidelines. The printer manufacturers aren't writing drivers that use the OS X CUPS interface. So, you can only use the comm protocol that is written into the driver - USB. Apple tried to get around this by including the Gimp-Print drivers.
You must use Gimp-Print for network printing to Epsons. The next issue is that you must enter both the Print Server IP address and the device-specific queue name. You can often find the queue name/port name in the printer server's manual area for unix setup.
Good luck.
