Secondly, it came highly reviewed and thirdly it allowed the direct printing to CD/DVD (using appropriate media of course).

The latter is kind of a biggie for me as my hand-writing is atrocious and I have had some pretty bad experiences with printing to labels and sticking them on CD/DVDs.

...Less than a year after having the printer Apple OS upgraded and Epson Upgraded their drives and since then I haven't been able to reliably print to CDs or DVDs. Each company points at the other and of course Epson continually tells me to download the latest drivers (not updated in a year now), connect directly to the computer bla bla bla.

...Oh - and the EZ CD Print software won't even recognize the ability to print to CD if you connect via USB.

...Insert CD into printer according to instructions (i.e. remove paper, open CD slot, put CD on sleeve, push CD Load button) 2.

...CUPS Error Log shows: I [07/Oct/2007:11:22:55 -0400] Job 1868 queued on 'Stylus_Photo_R1800__FW_' by '[userid removed prior to posting]'. I [07/Oct/2007:11:22:55 -0400] Started filter /System/Library/Printers/Libraries/PrintJobMgr/Contents/MacOS/PrintJobMgr (PID 348) for job 1868.

When using the Manual Print option from within the EZ CD program - the printer power light flashes, the CD moves in and out slightly then ejects. The process moves the CD through the printer like it wants to print the label - but never actually prints anything. ]]> Sun, 07 Oct 2007 11:43:43 -0400 http://homepage.mac.com/blankgm/iblog/C863414239/E20071007114343/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/blankgm/iblog/C931039082/E20071004203310/index.html Over the years I have really enjoyed some of these, so I share them with you - what I call the Eponymous Computer Laws - Required Knowledge for Every Computer Professional. ]]> Thu, 04 Oct 2007 20:33:10 -0400 http://homepage.mac.com/blankgm/iblog/C931039082/E20071004203310/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/blankgm/iblog/C931039082/E20070810194336/index.html Fri, 10 Aug 2007 19:43:36 -0400 http://homepage.mac.com/blankgm/iblog/C931039082/E20070810194336/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/blankgm/iblog/C863414239/E20070724122042/index.html Tue, 24 Jul 2007 12:20:42 -0400 http://homepage.mac.com/blankgm/iblog/C863414239/E20070724122042/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/blankgm/iblog/C931039082/E20070717184034/index.html Tue, 17 Jul 2007 18:40:34 -0400 http://homepage.mac.com/blankgm/iblog/C931039082/E20070717184034/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/blankgm/iblog/C931039082/E20070709180811/index.html Mon, 09 Jul 2007 18:08:11 -0400 http://homepage.mac.com/blankgm/iblog/C931039082/E20070709180811/index.html
