Epson Stylus 1000 or ESC P2 Printer Driver

Hello: I have an Epson Stylus 1000 wide format inkjet printer (quite old, ESC P2 type model. Year 1997 or so) and I haven't find a suitable DRIVER to use with OS X.

Can anyone help me to find one? I would appreciate it very much. I needed desperately! Thank you.

Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Mauris,

when you say "I haven't find a suitable DRIVER to use with OS X.
" did you look at Epson website... they have all the possible drivers... old and new!

You can download and install... if it's not available, you can use "gimps" driver..... I remember using it, but I am vague in my recollection of what they are. I used it once to work with an old printer wiht osx... it worked fine but finally I had to let the old printer go..... I wanted better quality, and Print on CD.....

Printer are so cheap these days!

I just looked at Epson site and the only driver available is one for OS 7.... wow... it's growing hair! 🙂 I know I hate having to buy new "everything" too ... because it's not compatible anymore...... we are in a disposable society.....

Hi michel!

Although not related to this Topic, you might find the info here How to post a link (URL) in "Apple Discussions", useful.

Using that method, your link could look something like this:

As a courtesy to the Discussions Hosts, if you implement that technique, there won't be a need for them to edit your posts. This will alleviate their tedious workload.

Have Fun!

yeah thanks Michel:

The sad thing about it is that Canon BJ's, Konika as well as other similar wide format printers DO HAVE a driver even if it's theirs or a "gimp", that actually work for these "oldies". Except EPSON who has a very poor concern about mac drivers. If you see, all these printers have a NEW driver for Windows XP versions instead. Anyway... thank you very much... and got to keep searching...
