Follow the procedure below to add the printer driver to your computer. If your product includes a fax function and you want to fax from your computer, make sure you add the fax driver as well.
Note:
Once you have added driver(s), you do not need to add them again unless you change the connection method or use a different product.
Make sure the product is turned on and properly connected to your computer using a USB or network connection.
For Mac OS X 10.5 or Later
For USB connections, the printer driver is automatically added and displayed in the Print & Fax window. You only need to add the printer driver if the printer driver is not displayed or if you are connecting the printer via a network. The fax driver (for models with a fax function) is not automatically added. Add the fax driver as well as the printer driver.
Click the + add button.
Click Default (or Default Browser). Select your Epson product from the list and then click Add. Check the table below, to make sure you have selected the correct one.
