Hi all,
(running OSX 10.4.8) I love this Epson RX580. All my programs access the features through the Epson Easy Print software, EXCEPT the main tool I have to print media, which is QuarkXPress (6.0). When in Quark the page set up dialogue box drop down menu will not select anything except "Any Printer." I think this is because there is no Epson RX580 (or any Epson for that matter) listed in the PPDs for Quark.
Question: WHERE do I get an Epson RX580 PPD to drop into the Quark PPD list so I can get Quark to recognize this printer? And where is the PPD list to drop it into?
thanks
JSC

Your Epson is an ink-jet printer. It is not a postscript printer and since it's not postscript it doesn't use a PPD file. Quark needs a postscript printer to output and if you don't have one, all it does is print a screen preview. Your best bet with ink-jets is to export to PDF and print from Acrobat.
