Hi Phillip:
Look up the specs for the Epson C120 and all will become clear...
The driver in the box supports only the PPC. The driver for Intel on the
website is in beta...
Cheers

I'm not understanding why you have to use a special driver for the Epson
printers. Although that might be an Epson problem.
I've used a HP990cse inkjet attached to a Airport Express for couple of
years now.
The only problem I run into with anything is checking Ink levels on
OSX.3.9 when I have my laptop running I don't even have a problem with
that. just plug into the USB connector on on the airport express. The go
to printer utility and set up for the printer on network and *your ready
to ride Clyde*.
Hp Printer are just so much better. most the paper lays flat as in a
laser printer or copying machine most allow foe built in front and back
printing. And the best I like of all is each time you buy a new
cartridge you get a new print head. On Epson if print heads get clogged
and they can't be unclogged you either have to deep six the printer and
buy a new one or send and have repaired and by the time you do that, it
would be better to deep six printer. Its a lot cheaper to replace ink
Cartridges than printers. I'm still using the same DJ990cse I bought
originally new.
I've used three printers since I've first had a Mac. (SE/30) an Apple
Imagewriter II.
Then I first had a DJ 650c, then this 990cse. So talk about HP printer
being reliable.
People fuss about the expense HP Cartridges. but the advantage is with
each Cartridge you get the new print head so Its like putting in a new
set of heads for price of cartridge.

Hello Neptune -
Since it's been a month since the last exchange in this thread with no
confirmation from the OP we have no way of knowing whether it was resolved
or not :-( And even if we assume that it was, we still don't know whether
the suggestions offered here are what resolved it.
I can say that I concur with John McGhie - I've never had acceptable results
with the Gutenprint drivers for Epson (C80, PS R800) myself... And I've only
tried them for local connections, not wireless networks.

Hello,
Did anyone resolve this issue? I'm having a similar problem:
macbookpro 10.5.4 with word 2008. Gutenprint 5.20 beta 3 driver for
epson stylus c120 via airport express. I can print from excel, text
edit, and other programs (i'm assuming) but not from word. Nor will
the print to pdf function work. The preview shows the right number of
pages, but they're all blank. Not much help on the apple's support
site. someone recommended re-writing the .ppd file and removing
certain printer resoltions ????
this is super frustrating since all my software/hardware/drivers are
seemingly brand new! anyone have any ideas? thanks a bunch!

Dear Bob
Thank you for your comments. I take your point re the forum. I have tried
everything and decided very late last night that it was beyond me! For the
record, the USA Lexmark site does have a page on this very issue but that
solution didn't work either!
I had tried importing adriver from the Lexmark site but according to the US
site that is not the solution.... It certainly didn't work for me.
The repair disk bit was a help though, so thanks again and I will try the
link you suggested. I just wish I had bought ANY other type of printer!!
