Greetings!
I'm about to replace my old Epson Stylus Photo 780 with a new photo printer. The Epson works well (in System 9) but it's very slow. The picture quality is great.
I have tried this printer with the Epson GIMPS/CUPS drivers that come in Sys X 10.4.3 but they are not nearly as good as the original System 9 drivers that came with the printer. Unfortunately this driver will not run in "Classic" mode -- I have to devote a partition to Sys 9.2.2 and boot up there every time I want to print.
For example -- the Epson drivers have paper size selection that includes all of the Epson papers and sizes, including the "no-perforations 4X6 Premium Glossy Photo Paper".
Using the Sys X driver, I can't do borderless printing.
What is the best photo printer for me? I will always be running the latest Mac System software. Is a Canon or HP a better bet for me? I want high picture quality and some reasonable speed.
Many thanks!
