I am trying to use an Epson SC740 with Gutenprint 5.9 and Mac OSX10.5.8 When I use an Epson supplied driver, the printer works although I miss some of the facilities which the Gutenprint driver offers. Switching to the Gutenprint driver, a print job goes into the print queue, the job appears to run to maybe 13% and then disappears as if it's complete. The printer, however, does nothing: no flashing lights, no noises, and above all no printing. Can you please suggest why this might be and what I can do to fix it? Many thanks Keith Keith Parr |

This sounds like a communications problem. You may wish to try the alternate usbtb USB driver that we offer for download. -- Robert Krawitz <rl...@al...> MIT VI-3 1987 - Congratulations MIT Engineers men's hoops Final Four!
