I have downloaded the drivers from the dedicated Epson website. I clicked on install and was told install was successful. now I can not find a way to have the printer identifued ** the iMac and to use it to print etc.
please help me how to make the last step to be able to print.
thank you ! :-) !

If you look in System Preferences>Print & Fax (assuming you are running 10.5.8), is your printer listed on the left? If not, click on the '+' sign to add a printer - does it find it?
If it's listed and won't work or it's not listed at all, try Control+Clicking or Right Click on the area on the left where the printer is listed/should be listed and select 'reset printing system'. All printers will be deleted and need to be added again by using the + button.
Dear Paul,
THANK YOU ! with your help I have installed one of the drivers on iMac§s list, the Epson Stylus photo R200, whihc I thought is the nearest to the Stylus SX200. this indeed allowed me to print! :-) !
however I also need to scan. any idea how I can get the scanner going as well, please?
Initially I have downloaded the drovers for SX200 from Epson own website. this is a bundle containing also the drivers for the scan. however this downloaded bundle which the iMac confirmed that it was installed successfully was not picked up by the "install new printer". that is why I sleelcted form the list already part of iMac§s sofrware the nearest drivers when adding a new printer.... just to get sometihng working which I did... the printing function.
please help me if you can to get all the bundle recognised or the scaning drivers to add to the ones working now.
THANK YOU !
Best,
Michael
Great that you got the printer working.
A couple of possibilities for the scanning problem. Does Image Capture in the Applications folder see the scanner. If so that may be good enough, although it doesn't offer a lot scope for making scanning adjustments.
If you need to have more control over your scanning there is a (paid for) app called VueScan which offers a full-featured range of scan controls. You can use it in demo mode for free to test flight it first to see if it's any good for you:
