Don't get an Epson printer
It has taken more then a year for me to get my Epson 220 printer to work. I tried the CD, looked in forums for ideas but never could get the printer to work and print successfully. Epson was no help at all and does not have a help center.
Epson has not done a very good job of pointing out the way for Mac users to use their printers. They say they support Macs but regarding my experiences, there have been little help by Epson. Finally I found some drivers on the Apple site that worked.

I found this finally
Q:What is EPSON doing to make more OS X support available?
A: EPSON is "fully committed " to supporting the Mac OS X operating system. Our engineers are working aggressively with Apple to optimize print quality and other image features within the OS X operating system so that EPSON products will continue to provide the best image quality, as they do with other operating systems.

want to tweak Vista/Windows to look like Mac/ OSX- then go all the way
This was an interesting point of view in several ways. Some people like Windows because they are used to and don't want to go beyond an interface they count on. But Microsoft has constantly tried to add Apple type features to the OS. Those who might like more . Why not go all the way and get a a Mac. Meanwhile in the latest commerical for Vista, they treat making panoramas as breathtaking and cool. How pathetic is that. Where have these been. Doing very little with Windows is most of what people do. Showing them anything new opens there eyes but is that innovative. No it means that the Windows and Vista interfaces have not done the jobs and continue to do so. That alright by me. I use the Mac OS. I use Windows XP at the schools I teach at because that is all they have. When I want more, I come back to my Macs and the OSX at home.

Mac OS X Hints Superguide
By Rob Griffiths mailto:rgriffiths@macworld.com
Hints for Leopard Users
Back in the fall of 2000, I was making the transition from Mac OS 9 to
OS X, and finding the new operating system both complex and a bit
unintuitive. In particular, I kept getting tripped up by features that
weren't documented on Apple's Web site or covered in OS X's Help
files.
Being somewhat geeky by nature, I decided to create a Web site where I
could keep track of all the little tips, tricks, and hidden features I
was discovering in OS X. That way, I could easily access the tips from
any machine I happened to be using. And because I knew I wasn't the
only one out there exploring the inner workings of Apple's new
operating system, I built the site so others could post their own OS X
tips and insights.
Over the last eight years, that little siteMacOSXHints.com, in case
you haven't guessed by nowhas grown into a collection of more than
10,000 OS X tips, covering every major release from the initial public
beta through 10.5. And with thousands of contributors from across the
globe, it offers a constantly-growing collection of OS X knowledgeall
freely searchable.
http://www.macosxhints.com?lsrc=mwweek
But the site's not perfect. Many of the tips assume a high degree of
familiarity with OS X and fairly deep technical knowledgeespecially
tips involving Terminal. And searching through more than 10,000 hints
to find the one you really want can be complicated, to say the least.
Which is why I'm pleased to announce the latest edition to Macworld's
Superguide series, OS X Hints, Leopard Edition.
To create this book, we scoured not just MacOSXHints.com, but also
Macworld.com, to find the most useful tips and tricks for OS X 10.5
users. We've also rewritten them all in a clear, easy-to-read fashion,
complete with screenshots, to make them as easy to use as possible.
This hand-picked collection includes more than 200 tips, covering
almost every corner of Leopardincluding customizing the look of
Finder windows, searching hidden system files with Spotlight, and
making the most of OS X newcomers like Quick Look and Spaces. We dig
deep into Leopard's system settings to fine-tune preferences, save
time with undocumented shortcuts, and unlock powerful file-sharing and
printing features. We've also collected step-by-step advice for
squeezing more power from OS X's built-in programs, including Mail,
Safari, iCal, iChat, iTunes, Preview, and more. Of course, no guide
for power users would be complete without a trip to Terminal. If
you're new to OS X's command-line interface, we'll show you how to get
started and how to protect yourself from dangerous actions.
Command-line veteran will find tips for taking advantage of new
Leopard commands and strategies for working in Terminal more
efficiently.
Obviously, this collection wouldn't be possible without the amazing
contributions from the OS X communityand that's why every tip in the
book remains freely available on MacOSXHints.com and/or Macworld.com.
But if you'd rather not take the effort to dig through 10,000+ hints,
and want the best versions of the hints, then this collection is for
you.
The book is available in several formats, so you can choose the one
that works best for you. If you're interested in a PDF (suitable for
viewing in Preview or Adobe Reader), you can buy one and download it
immediately for just $12.95.
http://store.esellerate.net/macworld/osxhints
Or you can get it as a high-quality, full-color paperback book for
$19.99.
https://m1.buysub.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=11901&storeId=11901&productId=441473&sourcekey=MWEBSITE
Don't want to download the PDF? You can also get it mailed to you on
CD-ROM for $15.
https://m1.buysub.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=11901&storeId=11901&productId=441473&sourcekey=MWEBSITE
And if you want to see more before you pony up your hard-earned cash,
we've created a 1.5 MB downloadable sample from the book for you to
check out, just to give you a taste.
