Woe is me. Have switched to a mac mini and cant find relevant driver to give me full print options that I had in Windows on my old PC. The only driver I can find is one via epson that only gives me basic print functions by updating OS X. Anyone any ideas?
 
What application are you printing from. The standard Epson drivers should be all you need to configure the machine. If yo are having problems try deleting the printer fron Sys Prefs and reinstall it. If that fails you could try deleting ( better still simply move to another location) the Epson folder in the printers section of Library , then download the r2880 drivers from Epson. This should then reinstall the correct drivers. I'd delete the instance of the printer again in sys prefs and re instal it after you's run the driver install.

Had a similar problem myself several years ago and this cured it
 
Thanks Chappers. Tried printing from lightroom and word and I can but can't access the full options. I have the print utility, all be it one I haven't seen before that shows levels of ink etc but not the proper epson one that allows me to choose mono only, paper type etc. Have deleted printer and reinstalled. The only driver I can get when I go on the epson site pings me back to updating the apple OS. Very frustrating to have a £500 print that can only do the basics.
