First, I would like to thank
all those kind Mac netters who have come to my rescue of late.
You are all much appreciated.  

I TOO have had success with installing the LQ800 Epson driver
with system 6.0.2 .. my DIFFICULTY is getting teh
installer to work with system " 6.0.3"  ... it may
be that i don't need 6.0.3  or 6.0.4  or any future 
update system files... I would like to think, however,
that i can upgrade my system as updates come along..
and simply reinstall the epson driver...  when i try to
install the epson driver with the included install program
with 6.0.3 on my hard disk,  i get the warning "System 
older".. and it won't install.  If i simply copy everything
BUT the system 6.0.2 file from the Epson floppy onto my
hard drive.. use chooser etc .. font/DA to load the
Epson fonts... i get "Printworks not installed.  Use 
installer program to install properly" .. when i run chooser and
try to print.  SO the end result is that i have a system folder
with 6.0.3 on my first PARTITION and a complete enviroment set-up
the way i like...and a system 6.0.2 folder in the NEXT logical
PARTITION...  this is not a problem since i disable the first
partition when booting up if i know that i am going to be printing.
SO far, i haven't noticed differences between 6.0.2 and 6.0.3
.. but there must be some! 

Again,  thanks for all the help...
