Epson printer software not recognised after OS upgrade to 10.6.8
A few months ago I upgraded my system to OS X 10.6.8. Yesterday, I tried to use my Epson Stylus Pro 3800 inkjet printer fro the first time since the upgrade, but wasn't too surprised when I got an error message saying I needed to install software. I found the latest driver software for the 3800 on the Epson (USA) site, dated 5/3/13 and installed it. After re-booting, I tried again to print with the 3800, only to get the same error message: "You need to install software to use this printer. To install the softweare, choose Software Update from the Apple menu. If the software for yor printer isn't available in Software Update, contact the manufacturer of your printer".
Well, there is nothing relevant at all listed under"Software Update", and I reckon I have already carried out the second suggestion by downloading the latest Epson driver. Can anybody help? I depend on the 3800 for professional work, and certainly can't afford to replace it...
Thanks in advance.
