I have followed all of the steps listed above for setting up the printer but am unable to print to the Epson on my mac. I have connected to the Epson from the Windows XP box and have even printed from printer preferences panel and can print using the various epson utilities without a problem. However when I can to Properites and try to print a test page Windows tells me immediately that the print failed. Does anyone have any ideas?

I have the same problem... I think this is cause by the Epson Driver we have.. the printer driver might not support the "IPP" Protocol under XP.

anyways, I've managed to fix it by sharing the printer via Samba.
I've done all the steps from the original post, and then I edit /etc/smb.conf file.

If you or anyone want a copy of my smb.conf file, pls send me an email, I'll mail it to you.

I'll post a step-by-step for this on this site soon.

-- cya!
