Hi,
I recently bought an Epson 1160 ink jet A3 printer to use with my 15" 2.53 ghz (2010) macbook pro. I'm using Mac OSX 10.8.2.
I can't seem to find the appropriate drivers for it though to get it to work. Apparantly GIMP drivers might do the job, but I've no idea where/how to find the correct drivers I'm after...
Can anyone help please?!
Thanks
Nick

The GIMP Print driver for your Epson 1160 can be found here. You'll have to scroll on down quite a bit through the Epson printers as there are at least 100 or more to choose from. But the 1160 is listed as supported.

Hi,
Thanks for that chscag. I've downloaded and installed the driver, but when I try and print it still won't work. It recognises my printer's there, but just doesn't print. Not sure where to go from here with it...
Any suggestions?
Cheers
Nick

Can you start over and tell us how you've added the printer in Print & Scan preferences? - did it find the printer right away, did it say searching for driver, etc?

That is a pretty old printer as drivers are available from Epson for OS 8, OS 9, and up to OS X.3.
