I can't print to my Epson RX600 or Photo Stylus 2200.... both are awesome printers. But with my MacBook Pro they are useless. Good thing I can file share with a Windows XP station for ALL my output. Don't even tell me to download "new" drivers.... or be happy that I can possibly print in "draft" mode. As far as this Mac goes... output is an issue. Good thing I have a big hard drive... maybe by OS 11 it'll work. Oh yeah, I just got a new MacBook Pro. I can’t print to my Epson RX600 or Photo Stylus 2200…. both are awesome printers.

I certainly feel for you, I still can't use my printer and as for some of the mail features...... But, it is a great system, I just don't think it was quite ready for release.

I had to remove Leopard and return to Tiger after days of continuous freezes that became so bad I was unable to copy normal data for backup and lost quite a bit of valuable work. I won't go back to Leopard until it is proven safe and reliable. Check the Mac Pro Mac Forums and you'll see the display and freezing problem is quite prevalent. Mac Pro owners are not happy at all.
