Hi, thanks to this GREAT forum I have successfully turned my Vista PC into a fully functional Mac! I used iDeneb 10.5.4 and have EVERYTHING working perfectly. Using now for about two solid weeks. 4 gb ram, run Lightroom, World of Warcraft, and Photoshop CS3 without one single hitch.
I am trying to print to my Epson Stylus Photo R800 and all the docs say the drivers are bundled on the retail CD. When I try adding the printer my system can't find a matching driver. There are very few entries at all that say Epson anyway. I imagine that the iDeneb install I have didn't include it. I am WAY willing to buy a RETAIL Leopard CD, but how do I install the drivers now that I have the OS already installed and up and running?
Please help!
THanks!!

Joe

P5K Deluxe, 4 GB ram, Geforce 8800 GTS, iDeneb 10.5.4

You can open the disc up with Pacifist. Then browse to the section of interest and select "install to default location" via right mouse click. I'm at work now, so I can't tell you exactly which directory is what but it should be pretty self explanatory.

Good luck!
