Epson 2200 driver in Snow Leopard - print options greyed out

I seem to be having a problem. I have the most recent Snow Leopard drivers for my Epson 2200 installed and it seems the printer options are greyed out. I can print successfully but under "Print Settings", the "ink" and "color settings" drop boxes are greyed out and no matter what I do, I cannot access these options. When I originally installed the new drivers, these options were available but no longer. Is anyone else having this problem or does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this problem?

Thanks.

I also seem to have this situation. Not sure when it started, becasue, while they are grayed out, they are set to what I always want for the printer .

Try deleting and re-adding the printer. If that doesn't work, try resetting the printing system.
Here's how to reset your printing system:
1. Control-click or right-click a print queue in the "Printers" pane.
2. Choose "Reset printing system..." from the contextual menu.
3. Click "OK" in the "Are you sure..." confirmation sheet.
You can follow the troubleshooting steps in the Apple articles:

Hope this helps,

Hey Syd. Thank you! That did the trick. I tried deleting and adding the printer before but it made no difference but this time it did! Much appreciated.
