Epson printer drivers for mac ppc mac os x#
HP and Epson included some updated drivers for their printers with Mac OS X 10.4.4, but HP’s Web site has not been updated to include the drivers. Yes, it took awhile for Photoshop to load, but scan and print speeds weren’t painfully sluggish. And it’s true-I had no problem scanning or using any of the buttons on the multifunction device to interact with an Intel iMac running Photoshop CS2 under Rosetta. Canon’s Web site states that the current PowerPC software works with Intel Macs and therefore new versions of the software will not be offered. Pixma MP950, an inkjet multifunction device, has an updated printer driver available from for download, but the scanning software and MP admin application are still PowerPC apps that need to run under Rosetta on Intel-based Macs. Other input devices, like the Mouse BT from Macally, worked fine with preferences adjustable via the Keyboard & Mouse preference pane in System Preferences.Ĭanon was the first printer company I found to have Universal drivers available to download, but not all of their apps have been updated. True to their word, both companies released software updates that work on Intel Macs early last week.
Phone calls to each company confirmed the problem and I was told they were working on new drivers.
If a peripheral or application requires a preference pane, the software will need to be updated before it will work on the new Macs as it cannot run under Rosetta. The only two problems I ran into were with devices requiring installation of preference panes in the Mac’s system preferences window.
