    Incompatibilities

    Version 1.4 December 21, 1999

  • Adobe PressReady doesn't use the regular Epson drivers so EpsonShare doesn't work with it.

  • EpsonShare doesn't work if the Epson Rip software is installed.

  • System 9 Multi-users. For the moment - December 1999 - the Epson drivers are not yet System 9 compliant, so you can normally print only if the current user is the Mac Owner itself or a "Normal" user. "Limited" and "Panels" users simply can't print. EpsonShare works in the same way, Owner or Normal users yes, Limited or Panels no.
