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.

Macintosh OS X Feature Update
If you just purchased your printer, the printer software CD-ROM in the box contains
additional Macintosh OS X features that were not covered in the rest of your printer
documentation.
If you downloaded this software, please note that it contains additional Macintosh
OSX features that were not covered in the rest of your printer documentation.
? Your printer can now use the following features in Mac® OS X 10.1.3 or higher:
? Borderless printing
? Roll paper printing (and automatic cutting on certain printers)
? Minimized margin printing
Follow the instructions below to add and use these printing features.
? If your printer includes a memory card slot for transferring pictures from a digital
camera storage card, your software now includes the necessary storage drivers for
use with Mac OS X 10.2.x. Follow the instructions in your printer
documentation to use storage cards with your printer.
Adding Printer Features on OS X
Make sure you’ve installed your printer software and added your printer as described
in your printer documentation. Then make sure that your printer is turned on and
connected to your Macintosh. Follow these steps:
1. Open your OS X Applications folder, then open the Utilities folder and select
Print Center. You see the Printer List shown on page2.
If your printer is shown in the list, go to step 2.
If your printer isn’t listed, make sure it is turned on and connected to your
Macintosh. Click Add or Add Printer, then go to step 4.
2. Click the printer name.
