(4 out of 5) by Bob Detmers on Jul 17, 2004I find this printer to be an excellent well made printer. The perfect printer would be one that could print excellent color and Grey Scale.
I have read the previous reviews about lack of drivers for the Mac's and I do not believe that this is true. The printer came packaged with drivers for PC and Mac. Upgraded drivers for both systems are available at Epson's web site. The only draw back that I see about the printer is that there is no light black ink tank, for really good continuous tone grey scale images. So people that do Grey Scale Photography would not come out with gallery results. Color printing is excellent as long as you use custom profiles out of Photoshop.

OS X drivers
(4 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on May 28, 2004I don't know when the other review was posted but the OS X drivers have been available since 2003. Mine works fine, but a RIP works better.

No OSX Drivers
(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Oct 9, 2002Great printer, fantastic quality but STILL no OSX drivers. I've spoken to Epson for over a year about this, and they still have no commitment to when they'll get it done. Very dissapointing.
