Epson Drivers Compatibility
Important: These latest Epson drivers will support ALL Macintoshes, including those with USB, printer, modem, or printer/modem ports. Although the Epson support site does not explicitly state that the new USB or iMac drivers (for iMac, Blue & White G3, G4) will work on machines with printer or modem ports, support for these ports IS included. After the installation of these new drivers, you will have the ability to choose the port you wish to use in the Apple Menu Chooser: printer, modem, printer/modem or USB.
In some case, the Epson installer fails to replace its old files. So trash all old Epson files before a new installation:
- "System Folder:extensions:Epson Folder"
- "System Folder:extensions:EpsonMonitor3"
- "System Folder:extensions:Epson Launcher"
- "System Folder:Preferences: Epson Preferences"
-and your Printer Chooser Extension (SC 850 or SC 600 or SP 1200,...) in "System Folder:extensions:"
Be sure you have a Printer Chooser Extensions v5.5xx or later and an Epson Monitor3 application v.1.23x or v.1.25x or later in the "System folder:Extensions" folder of all Macs.
Epson Monitor3 v2.x is compatible with EpsonShare from its version 1.4 or later.

Printer/modem/USB Ports Compatibility
All Macintoshes with any port (modem, printer, modem/printer or USB) can act as client or server.
On USB Macs clients without printer, in the Apple Menu "Chooser", just select your printer. If you can't choose a port (printer/modem/usb), if any port appears or if you can't check "Background printing", it doesn't matter: EpsonShare will make that for you.
