1160 Driver ???
Thank you for your help.. I got the cable and it plugged in beautifully .. Alas I can only get an Icon and the Utilities' page up ...
I downloaded every driver on this Epson site...
as I couldn’t see my 1160 in the Apple List .. Nothing worked..
Says there is an error and then a message ‘Classic Environment no longer supported ‘

I eed Epson...below is their answer ... Which (for me) is confusing
Bytheway I also have the same problem with my Canon Flatbed scanner .. Can’t find the Driver for it, the CD says it is for Macs but must be an earlier one as the same message comes up ..‘Classic Environment no longer supported ‘
I have read the similar problems on this site but my poor 1160 may be too old .. Will I have to buy another printer .. £££££ ???? And scanner????£££
Thank you .. scarlet x
Thank you for contacting EPSON e-mail support.
Epson have not provided a Mac OS X driver for your printer to download for the new Intel platform. However an Inbox driver may be available as part of the Operating System. However in many cases a third party gimp-print driver will have been made available and may be the driver in use. Please be advised that these drivers are not produced nor designed by Epson and as such we cannot guarantee nor technically support their use and function.
Please find below a link to the Epson and Intel OSX information page:

I suggest you check if an Epson driver is available via the link below, taken from the Apple website:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303057#epsondrivers
Please be advised that the Power PC driver is not suitable for installation to your system. If your printer is listed on the Apple website with "EPSON" under the "Install Package" field then a more suitable Inbox driver is available. If only a "Gimp Print" driver is available, you can install this but there may be limitations to this driver. We cannot guarantee the functionality nor technically support third party drivers. If an EPSON Install Package driver is available it will be found on the Tiger DVD/CD. This driver may not contain Borderless or Maximum options, however I would recommend searching the Tiger/OSX DVD for the following file:
EpsonPrinterDrivers.pkg
This file contains Epson printer drivers, if your product was listed then your printer should be amongst these. Once you have installed the drivers from the EpsonPrinterDrivers.pkg, try adding the printer in the Printer Browser with the printer connected and powered on. Go to HD : Applications : Utilities : Printer Setup Utility. You may find better and more accurate printing results. You could also try checking HD:Library:Receipts for this file. If you cannot find this, insert the MAC OS X Install Disk 1 CD/DVD into the Mac CD/DVD drive. This is the DVD/CD that came with your Intel-based Mac.
1. Open the MAC OS X Install Disk 1 CD and double-click Optional Installs.
2. Click the down arrow next to Printer Drivers and check the box for EPSON Printer Drivers.
3. Click Install and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
4. Once installed restart the Mac. Once restarted, return to:
5. HD:Applications:Utilities..Printer Setup Utility.
6. Click "Add" and add the driver in the Printer Browser - do not add it from the list of Epson printers as this is a gimp-print driver which may not provide good results. Simply highlight the printer and select "Add" - if "Add" is greyed out, wait 10 minutes then try to select the "Add" button - the printer must be powered on and connected. The correct driver from the PKG file will not have "gimp-print" under "Kind".
Should any Borderless options be available, these are likely to be present on particular paper sizes in the Page Setup dialogue box. Models such as the 1290/s and 2100 should have such options. The option appropriate for No Margins is "Sheet Feeder Borderless". The driver looks to have been updated, using the phrasing now used with new Epson printer drivers (i.e. "Borderless" is "No Margins").
The "Standard Minimise Margins" option is what would have been known as "Maximum" - giving you equal margins of 3mm around all 4 sides of the print, as opposed to the standard layout which comprises of three sides at 3mm and the trailing side of the print with the 14mm margin.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further assistance.
