driver for epson aculaser c1600

I have the same problem.

For a workaround I have installed the driver in a VirtualBox virtual machine running Windows 7. It takes a bit of time as I have to make a PDF, and then print it in Windows – but at least that means I'll save on ink costs because I'll be thinking before printing.

If anyone finds out a generic driver to use, or any other optiions I'd love to hear them however.

I had the same problem, but fortunately Epson Aculaser CX16 series driver works with this printer:

Tested with osx 10.6.7, works ok.

Thanks for that. I will give it a try.

Yes! Thanks Epson driver CX16DNF works just fine with Aculaser C1600.

Thanks! Finding another driver and testing that it works is a great help to all. I found the CX1600DNF driver and downloaded to my Macbook Intel running 10.6.8, after opening the file from the desktop and restarting the machine I went to add driver in System Preferences - Printer and added this new printer. I am trying to print from Word with the C1600 printer selected - Nothing. Nothing shown in print queue. Was this different to the actions you too? Your description suggested you had no issues using the CX1600DNF driver. I got the printer at a low price or I would be taking it back quicker. Again, thanks for all the help you have provided so far.

Where did those extra two zeros come from CX16DNF Works a treat.

My mistake - printer name part not driver, CX16DNF is what I meant/mean. The downloaded file is called "epson325986eu.dmg". I then did what I described above and with no action by the Word document. Could I be using a European version of the driver, not a USA one as you have done?

Thanks!!!!

Sorry can't help, I am new to Mac from windows and my Epson C1600 would not work so found help through this forum. The driver you downloaded is the same as I did and I have had no issues with it on Imac snow leopard now lion.

For me "Epson AL-CX16" driver is ok for my brand new aculaser 1600

(but CX16DNF doesn't work)

Running Lion on MacPro and SnowLeopard on MacMini

I just cannot check toner level, not a real issue.

Print from Page, Photoshop, Illustrator, TexTedit and many others perfectly.

I never use anything from microsoft, I recommand to dhschwab and to everyboddy to choose this way too.

Thanks to all for their help. The printer now works very well and I am happy with the output. I have printed from Word and InDesign, and will keep testing other applications. Having got the printer at a third of the list price I am happy I will not need to return it. Shame that Epson do not list this driver for Mac users as we must have some value as users, better than lost customers! Anyway, that is commerce and I remain happy with a working printer.
