But seeing your post got me thinking about it again. I haven't resolved myself to accepting our predicament - I am still searching to see what I can do so I can print photos to my shared Epson R1800. Otherwise, there is another driver, such as the Gutenprint, that is more capable than the one we are stuck with. I am assuming that if you got your Windows machine to print to the Epson printer via a print server, then it is doing some Windows network 'magic' to bridge the USB connection over the network connection so that the printer server is transparent to the Epson USB print driver. From other posts I have read, it is the Epson drivers that do not work in a networked configuration. The problem is in the driver and this problem is initiated because of the type of connection - if we were to use a USB connection, the Epson drivers would work. The problem is that this only gives us limited printing configuration capabilities, nothing at all what we need to use this as a PHOTO printer.

I also attempted connecting R1800 to Airport Extreme.

However, no such luck printing from a Mac - none of them had Mac Windows machines (using specialized Windows-only software that came with them). Over the weekend, I've tried few print servers.
