Ahh ok - Have you definitely downloaded the Mac drivers and not the PC ones - http://www.epson.co.uk/gb/en/viewcon/corporatesite/products/mainunits/support/11101 Have you downloaded the Epson Download Navigator, if not, that is your best route as it will go through the process of installing the necessary sw and drivers automatically.

I think thats it Dom  :happy2:

I clicked on the Mac drivers page but Instead of clicking the "Epson Download Navigator", I just did the one underneath it called "Driver"

Downloading the Navigator one now.

Ill let you know how it goes.  :wink:

Success!!!

Thanks for your help Dom.

For some reason as I had installed the printer with a cable too it was showing another Epson printer in the drop down box. This other one was the wireless one which, I had to select first as it thought I was using a wired connection. Obviously it was saying offline. 

Anyway all done! 

Thanks again.
