I have the same problem, but I am only using Leopard and not Snow leopard. There is no CD choice in the paper sizes and I set up a partition and installed Tiger, but I have lost my install CD for the printer. Would you be able and willing to make a copy for me, which I will happily pay for + of course the postage? All the software was on the Epson site except Print CD and it now looks like all software for the R200 has gone. If you could make me a CD I would be extremely grateful, my email address is macblads @ mac . com (obviously without the spaces) or I can email you, if you say that is okay. Regards -- Peter
