On my last computer, when I went to print a job, I was able to communicate with the computer and printer and let it know that I was using a certain quality of paper, whether it be glossy, matte or something like standard. How come that option isn't available for me now on my MAC? I have an Epson R220 printer if that helps.

The option should be available in the print dialog. When you select to print from an application, if you only see a limited view, then maybe you need to press the Show Details button, as shown below.
that doesn't help. when I click on 'show details' I cannot chose what kind of paper I am using to print on...(i.e. glossy paper, matte paper, or for printing to a business card or index card.)
With my Canon inkjet, I can change the paper types used via the Quality & Media menu as shown below. I would expect the Epson to have a similar menu.
For Epson printers, it will probably show under Print Settinigs. Each manufacturer may have it under a different menu.
