Your help, please. My Espon 740 prints colored lines in high quality
mode. Everything I've tried - hardware and software - has not worked.
The problem in that my Apple PowerBook G3 only has a serial port --
not available on any new printer that I know of. Any suggestions -
either on fixing the 740 or a serial replacement? Possibly a retailer
that still has in-the-box new 740s? (I have a supply of cartridges.)
Thanks for any help you can give me.

D'you mean that it won't print a proper pictyure, just a smeared mess, with
each colour offset from the other one?

If so, it seems that's just that printer's problem. I think that's why they
were flogged at very cheap prices couple years back, when I got mine. I
haven't been able to get it to print properly in "photo quality" (1440 dpi)
either. That's another reason I will never get another Epson, ever.

IMO you're stuck with 720dpi printing, which is not that bad a quality -- if
you wear bifocals. HAH!
