Choosing an Epson printer in Mac OSX 10.3.9 Print Center

To use custom color profiles with the Epson 890 printer under Mac OS 10.3.9, one must first select the proper driver. It must be selected in the Print Center utility.

Open the Mac's Print Center utility. Once running, it should look like the picture shown below but it could have other printers already listed. Be sure the Epson printer is powered on and the US cable is attached to your computer. If the Epson printer does not show, click the "Add" icon in the Printer List.
