Epson Stylus Color 900 & FMPro 3.0v4

[fidorojm]

I have an Epson Stylus Color 900 printer attached to my Power Mac 7600/132 - there is a known problem printing from FMPro 3.0 to this printer (Mac 'bombs' & requires restart). The Epson site reports the following driver as a 'fix' but the driver is NOT available for download from their site - anyone able to help?

Troubleshooting Tip #0153

FileMaker Pro 3.0 Locks up

Claris FileMaker Pro 3.0 is not compatible with our newer version drivers. It is, however compatible with our previous version drivers.

FileMaker Pro 3.0 (any revision number) works with 3.0CA version drivers.

FileMaker Pro 3.0 does not work with the 5.0AA version drivers.

Claris has released FileMaker Pro 4.0 which works with both 3.0CA and 5.0AA version drivers.

It is highly recommended to upgrade to FileMaker Pro 4.0.

If you have FileMaker Pro 3.0, you will need to upgrade to FileMaker Pro 4.0 in order to use it with the Stylus COLOR 850, Stylus Photo 700 or Stylus Photo EX and newer printers.

If you wish to use FileMaker Pro 3.0 with a previous version driver and need to download it from our FTP site.

Stylus COLOR 800 - Download the MSC830CA.SEA.hqx driver file

Stylus COLOR 1520 - Download the MS1520CA.SEA.hqx driver file

Stylus COLOR 3000 - Download the MS3031AA.SEA.hqx driver file

I just had a browse of the Australian Epson web site and found this link to their version 6 driver software. The link is ftp://ftp.epson.com.au/pub/epson/drivers/mac/SC900.hqx

I know this isn't the version 3 software that you requested but it might help.

As a matter of interest, I had occasional problems printing from filemaker 3 on my laser printer. When I installed an Epson color 3000 it crashed every time I tried printing from filemaker. I decided to upgrade to filemaker 5, and haven't had any problems since. Version 5 seems to be a lot less flaky in general.
