IP Print and Print Drivers



Hi,

I'm having a frustrating problem adding my printers to my new IMac
(Intel). I bought an Epson R1800 printer and installed it successfully
via USB. However, I want to be able to print to it wirelessly so that I
can store it in my spare room. However, when I go into the Print Info
window it doesn't allow me to change the queue name to the IP address
of my router.
So, step two I went to add a new printer, selected IP Printer, LPD. I
entered the address of my router and added L2 as the queue. Everything
is ok so far. Then, I selected the 'Print Using' box and selected
'Epson' and... the R1800 isn't in the printer driver list. There
doesn't appear to be any way for me to find and select the printer
driver that was installed and used with the USB set up.

So I don't know what to do now. Is there some way that I can find the
printer driver that the USB install is using and copy that somewhere
(in which case, what would the file be called?)? Or is there a way of
changing the queue name in the printer info for the first printer I
installed (the USB version). If they allowed me to change it, I could
do that and everything would be sorted. But it doesn't.

Help!

Alastair
