Which version of Snow Leopard are you running?

That was your problem, forget the original disk. Reload the latest download for the updater, then load the newest driver and remote panel utility...

Are you sure it's not load the driver first, then load the UPDATER (otherwise what would it update)?

If he loaded the CD there is already a driver there to update -- I'm sure it just adds a pref to the Epson lookup package so the driver launches the new version of remote panel (and the print monitor).  But yes, for a fresh instal, I agree and furthermore think the best order is driver, updater then remote panel.  However Epson makes no mention of any of this on their site...

I have my 3800 connected to the LAN, the driver works on Snow Leopard, but the LFP panel never. I can launch the LFP panel, but it can never communicate with the printer.
I have to run a PC version of LFP panel in the with Parallel Desktop 4 to run to utilities.

I found that I needed to connect to my Epson 3800 using Bonjour, under Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard).

I first tried connecting to the 3800 as an IP printer, but was never able to get it to work that way under Snow Leopard.
Also, the drivers that Apple auto-pushes in their update package are the Guttenburg drivers, which I didn't care for.
So you need to first install the Epson driver, then the "Common Updater", and then add the printer as a Bonjour printer
(unless you are direct connecting with a USB cable, in which case none of this applies to you).

Hope this helps someone...
