I uninstalled all print drivers that had been installed under 10.5, downloaded new ones and then reinstalled them. Now I can print from LR and other software. This came as a bit of a surprize. Seems like the Mac doesn't hold very high standards when it comes to bulldozing whatever they want into "upgrades" without any consideration for what users have. Epson is no fly-by-night operation. It seems like Apple doesn't expect graphic artists to be using their stuff anymore. Thanks!
