Hi Ronni,
Yes, that did it.
And the Printer was shown under driver as Epson Stylus Color 740 -
Gutenprint v5.2.3.
Just one final question. Where do the hundreds of unwanted drivers
reside on the HD ?
I'm thinking of deleting most of them.
Thank you very much for your time,
Cheers,
Walter

Hi Walter,
The Apple list only gives the Epson Stylus Color 740 - Gutenprint
v5.2.3 driver.
Try deleting the Printer and re-add the printer:
1. Click on the - button to delete the printer
2. When you click on + (to add the Printer) If your Epson Color 740
shows, select it to see its settings.
If your mac has the correct driver, it displays in the Print using
popup menu.
If no driver appears, choose "Select a Driver" to use a driver
already installed on your Mac.
A list then appears for you to choose from.
3. Click "Add" when done
Let me know what Drivers it shows for your Epson Stylus Color 740.
If you are still unable to print "Reset the Printing System", then
re-add the printer
To Reset Printing System ... Control click (right click) on your
Printer in the left column of System Preferences > Print & Fax &
select "Rest Printing System".
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Ronni,
No, I thought the driver installs itself, since it is listed in the
large Apple list released on this topic.
Apple software update was checked this morning.(and its all
current) But Epson SW update was not - don't know if they have this
service for this old printer ?
Thanks

Hi Walter,
I'm pretty sure that is not the latest driver for your printer to
work in Snow Leopard.
Did you install the Epson Printer Drivers from Snow Leopard disc?
Have you run Software Update to see if it has an updated driver
for your Printer?
Let me know the answer to above before you delete & re-add the
printer.
I think you need to Delete the printer from Print & Fax System
Preferences, then re-add the printer.
When you click on + (to add the Printer) If your Epson Color 740
shows, select it to see its settings.

Ok thanks Walter,
Before I suggest you delete the Printer from Print & Fax
Preferences & then re-add the printer.
Please let me know what "driver version" it is saying under the
"General" tab?

Hi Ronni,
No, I can get into the "Options + Supplies" window which has
3 tabs: General, Driver + Supply Levels
Clicking on Driver shows the information: "Print using: EPSON
Stylus COLOR 740" (not highlighted but grey)
It won't let me scroll for other drivers.
It also has the comment: The driver and optional hardware
settings for shared printers can not be modified.
So earlier I changed the option in Sharing to printer sharing
off. But it didn't change anything.
Thanks
Cheers,
Walter
As I said before its just the name of the printer

Hi Walter,
Are you saying you can't click "Options & Supplies" to show
the Printer Driver you are using?

Hi Ronni,
It shows: EPSON Stylus COLOR 740. Its shaded - not
highlighted
I had a look this morning trying to find the driver
description, but because the description
is the name of the printer I dismissed it.

How can I tell which driver I'm using ?
Thanks for your reply,

Hello all,
Have today installed SL with 10.6.1 upgrade to follow.
So far haven't noticed any problems - except the
printer won't work anymore.
The printer is listed + selected in the print/fax
preference window and the driver is listed in the Apple
list.
But when it comes to printing the alert " The process
"PrintJobMgs" stopped unexpectedly with status 255 "
Any suggestions what to do ?
Printer: Epson Stylus Color 740
Hello Walter,
I think you mean "PrintJobMgr" not Mgs
Are you using the Gutenprint v5.2.3 driver or an Epson
Driver from Epson website?
Check if you have any print jobs queued.
System Preferences > Print & Fax - select your printer -
then "Open Print Queue"
If there are any jobs listed ... delete them.
Then see if you can print.
Cheers,
Ronni
