Where to put a driver

[elliot]

Ok no rude comments please. I'm having probs downloading my Epson 4000 printer software on my Mini. My Photoshop keeps telling me it can't find the driver. I even downloaded from their site. I thought maybe if I just placed it into the proper folder. But where do I find the folder?

HD -> Library -> Printers


I think

Well, if it didn't come with an installer, it probably came with a READ ME file telling you to put it in /Library/Printers/ or maybe even in /Library/Printers/EPSON/

...or didn't it...?

Stylus Pro 4000? The file you downloaded should have been named either epson12001.dmg (Intel) or epson12002.dmg (PowerPC). You don't drag this file anywhere. Instead, you'll want to double-click this file, and it will open the image in the Finder. Run the program called Installer that you'll see in there, and the drivers will be put into the right place. You can then eject the disk image.

I tried that and it didn't work. Worked last time but not now. When I open up the software disk I get;

Open up Printer Setup Utility (in the /Applications/Utilities folder). Do you see your printer in the list? If not, add it. I think you have to have it turned on to do so.

Then when you print (from any application, Photoshop doesn't do anything special) you should be able to select your printer in the Print dialogue.

Ok I got the listing and it shows up in PS! Cool. Thanks
