Hi Mark,
Sorry, I was writing my reply while you were sending yours and I agree with your assessment as well, although even if Epson were to re-direct to Apple I would still be very leery of that update and would not install it.
Cheers,
Gary
Gary, my take is that if Epson re-directs to Apple, the two companies have worked this out, and it is probably fine. The drivers for the office equipment are not the same as the drivers for the professional inkjet series, so in principle they should not conflict unless they share some elements in common, or if what one does has a collateral impact somewhere in the OS on the other - I have no idea; but given the age and publicity of this matter, it would surprise me if the two companies had not yet fixed whatever may have been causing issues in the past. In the final analysis, Andrew Rodney has provided advice on how to strip-out and reload all your Epson software/drivers, so if worst comes to worst, all is recoverable, just a time-consuming nuisance.
