Anybody know of a printer driver for the 'Epson Stylus Color' Inkjet printer? I've tried all the Inkjet drivers on the 2.04 WB disk. I can print text using the EpsonX driver, but no color… Any help or leads would be appreciated. Thanks, Ed Hoehn 72603,1734

Ed: There are a couple of printer drivers for the Epson Color Stylus. One made by Endicor Technologies is a pretty basic preferences driver that has its prefs program for setting things like MicroWeave printing, print alignment, etc. You can contact them at 210-650-4988. The other is the Studio II package from Wolf Faust. It is a very complete package, although a little bit complex in getting things set up. It includes the Epson Driver (as well as tons of different printers), a driver preferences program, and the Studio image printing software. You can purchase the Studio II software from most mail order houses, and I purchased it through Safe Harbor. One thing I'm finding is the amount of experimentation needed to get good image prints at 720 DPI. I can usually do very well by using ADPro, adjust the Gamma to 80, and then print it using Floyd dithering. I haven't quite found the secret to using the Studio software yet but I still keep plugging away. // John (Warp 4040 & Emplant Quadra 840) \X/ Mercury@ins.infonet.net

John, Thank you VERY much for the info! Although the printer is pretty new, I figured there had to be a driver out there somewhere. Don't know if i want to buy a program just to get the driver… Thanks Again, Ed.

Ed, When it comes to Epson Color I don't think you have any choice. You wanna a driver? You buy one. Sorry (blame Epson)
