The $699 Epson 2200 printer was introduced 10 years ago in 2002, and was ultimately available for prices much lower than that, so my sense is that anyone who got 10 years of use from this printer should congratulate himself or herself for getting their money’s worth! (The price of the hardware might amortize to as little as $60/year!)Īs you probably know, while that printer was quite something at the time of its introduction a decade ago – when the idea of a printer with a 13″ carriage for such a low price was unheard of – it had its “issues,” and its technology is now quite outdated.

The updated driver appears to resolve the very serious printing problems that rendered the 2200 essentially unusable for several months.ĭion, thanks for the update.

The good news is that Epson did release updated drivers during the past week.

I won’t recount the whole story here (that’s what links are for!) but the short version is that Epson had not updated their drivers when Apple released the OS update, and then Epson failed to communicate with their customers or update the drivers in a timely fashion – leaving photographers who used several of their printers including the 2200 “high and dry.”

For my part, I would not get a 2200 at this point, no matter how cheap it was – and I have not owned a 2200 since perhaps 2010 or so.)Ī while back I posted about serious problems with the Epson 2200 printer when used with Apple’s Mac OS X 10.6.x “Snow Leopard” operating system. In all likelihood, based on my past experience, this printer and other older Epson printers will not be supported indefinitely by Epson. This short article and link to Epson 2200 printer drivers was accurate when it was originally posted, but you should consult current information sources and perhaps contact Epson directly for update information. Snow Leopard does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), all eMacs, plus pre-February 2006 Mac minis and the Power Mac G4 Cube), although PowerPC applications are supported via Rosetta, which is now an optional install.(IMPORTANT NOTE: I generally do not remove old articles from this web site since search engines and other links tend to point to them.

The earlier version continues to be sold for the benefit of users that require Snow Leopard in order to upgrade to Lion, which is primarily sold through the Mac App Store introduced in the Snow Leopard 10.6.6 update. Snow Leopard was succeeded by Mac OS X Lion (version 10.7) on July 20, 2011. As support for Rosetta was dropped in Mac OS X Lion, Snow Leopard is the last version of Mac OS X that is able to run PowerPC-only applications. This is also the first Mac OS release since System 7.1.1 that does not support Macs that use PowerPC processors, as Apple now intends to focus on its current line of Intel-based products. New programming frameworks, such as OpenCL, were created, allowing software developers to use graphics cards in their applications. Much of the software in Mac OS X was extensively rewritten for this release in order to fully take advantage of modern Macintosh hardware.

Addition of new end-user features was not a primary goal.

Unlike previous versions of Mac OS X, the goals with Snow Leopard were improved performance, greater efficiency and the reduction of its overall memory footprint. The release of Snow Leopard came nearly two years after the introduction of Mac OS X Leopard (version 10.5), the second longest time span between successive Mac OS X releases. As a result of the low price, initial sales of Snow Leopard were significantly higher than that of its predecessors. On August 28, 2009, it was released worldwide, and was made available for purchase from Apple's website and its retail stores at the price of US$29 for a single-user license. Snow Leopard was publicly unveiled on Jat the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference. Mac OS X Snow Leopard (version 10.6) is the seventh major release of Mac OS X, Apple's desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers.
