I thunk I mentioned Epson. It is Epson Photo 700 (on the 8.6 machine)

Not sure how to set up a printer with an IP address using ethernet / 
appletalk. Do I need to set the TCP panel to ethernet, and then use 
that IP?

The IP thing is the only option that allows me to pick the Epson print 
driver though in Print Center, that's a known. Can't make a Desktop 
printer using a non-Apple printer from what I can tell.

Thanks for the reply.
