I have an Epson 1280 installed my eMAC. I am print sharing it with my G5. Although the computer is sending the files to the printer, the colors are off and the eps files are jagged...tif prints fine. Anytime I attempt to run the Epson Utility, it crashes the computer.
 
You know, it would really help if you could be just a bit clearer. Which computer is having the problem, or is it both? If it is just the one which accesses the printer remotely, then you probably have a driver problem. Whatever is going on, you need to give us the following information:

Computer model and OS with direct printer connection
The version of the Epson print driver on this computer
Whether or not the computer prints properly using this computer
If it does not print properly, which applications cause the problems or is it all of them

Computer model and OS that uses the printer remotely
The version of the print driver on this computer
Whether or not the computer prints properly using this computer
If it does not print properly, which applications cause the problems or is it all of them

You cannot expect to find any mind readers here. Our ability to help you is directly related to your ability to define your problem.
 
The eMac is using OS 10.3.9 and is directly connected to the printer via USB. G5 is using OS 10.4.5 and is sharing the Epson 1280 printer on the eMac. I download and installed Printer Driver v1.9aA for Macintosh OS X (v10.1.3 - 10.3.5) Since installing the new driver, I have not been able to the printer from the eMac. (I get no error, nothing happens at all.) The eMac has printed fine from this printer before installing Quark 6. I am still able to print from the G5 remotely but the quality of any placed eps files is still loRes.
 
If your computer printed fine before your installed Quark Xpress 6, then you need to identify the changes made to your system by the installation.
