Epson Pro 3880 Print Driver for Lion?

Epson state in an article on their web-site entitled "Mac OS X Lion Instructions (article 187366) that "Mac OS 10.6 drivers are compatible with Mac OS 10.7" Well, no they aren't, or not for my 3880 anyway. I specifically checked this out prior to installing Lion, and if I had known my 3880 wouldn't work, I would not have upgraded.

Is there any sort of work-around? If Epson's delays in getting compatible drivers when Snow Leopard came out are anything to go by, we could be in for a long wait.

When I asked Epson about this, they told me they only received Lion on the same day as it was released to the public. Can this be true?

I went into system preferences and then to printers and deleted Epson 3880. I then re-installed the driver and then went back to system preferences and then to printers and re-added it. Now it works.

Yep, same here. For users upgrading from 10.6 to 10.7 Lion you will need to delete the printer from System Preferences, re-install the latest Epson 3880 driver (v6.6 as of today), add it back in System Preferences and you'll be golden.

Thanks GageManning.
