Epson Driver 3.2 not work in 10.8.5

I was using Epson driver 3.0.0 fine with my Epson Stylus Color 740 and I am using Mountain Lion 10.8.5. However, after I updated the driver to 3.2, the computer cannot communicate with my printer any more. Is there a way to download the 3.0.0 driver?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), Epson Stylus Color 740

The Epson printer driver was made by Apple. I need a link from the apple site to download the Epson Driver 3.0.0.

Thanks!

Wrong! Apple does not make any printer drivers. They are all supplied by the printer manufacturers who know their products best. At some point the manufacturers stop developing drivers on old printers. This can be because they want you to buy a new device or something as simple as all the developers that supported that old printer have moved on to greener pastures.


The manufacturers then supply drivers to Apple who then incorporates them into updates for printers. I suspect that is what you might be thinking of.


However, follow Dennis's suggestion and reset the printing system.
