Printing to an Epson Stylus Photo 870

One of the things I had a bit of trouble with at first was printing. To make a long story short, it turns out that the built-in Epson driver just plain isn't as good as the Gimp Print
 stuff.

Also, in the print center, hold down "option" while you click the "Add printer" button to get more transport options, including SMB printing (Windows print sharing).

Awesome! Gimp-Print saves the day.

Just purchased an Epson Stylus C82... and had trouble with it from the start...The EPSON software included just didn't jive with OS X (10.2.6) Nor were the drivers included with Jaguar worth a crap.

After attempting a hack on the Belkin driver (trying to make it work with the Netgear MA101) The Epson would no longer print at all :(

Downloaded Gimp-Print (latest stable version) along with Ghost Script...

Now everything works great :)

OS X Hax is a wonderful resource.

Just downloaded driver for this printer from the epson website. Haven't used it, but epson does have one for os x.
