Comment: I've got Beos running well on a Compaq Presario 3060 computer with a non-supported video card (running in VESA mode - thanks to Scitech Disk Doctor). However, I get a message everytime I try to print something saying my printer driver doesn't support my printer. The printer is an Epson Stylus Color 640 1440x720dpi printer connected to the parallel port. It works well under MS98. The BeOS printer I set up matches the model number of my printer exactly. Has anyone got this model printer working w/BeOS? Please help if you can. Thanks,
Mike

Reply: (edit)I have an Epson Color Stylus 640 and BeOS 5. When I chose the driver for the printer, there was only the 600, then the 740, so I chose the 600 and everything works fine. (Even a little better than on Win98) Try choosing the 600 driver, anything is possible. :o)

Reply: (edit) Hi The is a known problem regarding the Epson Drivers
distribted with
the Koch Pro5 distribution in the UK. Basically
they dont work and you get
the annoying message as you describe. It hit me
pretty bad, cos I then
went out and brought a new 880 Epson printer which
still did not work. The correct solution is to simply transfer the
Epson Drivers across from
PE and over write the bad Pro ones. I would advise
you to back up a copy of the orginal Pro ones in
case this solution fails. zoe
