Network Printer Problem

I'm trying to print to a network printer via SMB (Epson 880), and am having
problems doing it. I believe it may have to do with the printer driver, but
I'm not sure.

I mounted the workgroup computer with the printer and double clicked on the
shared printer I want to use. When it told me a driver was not available on
the server and asked me for a driver, I selected the Epson 880. When I went
to print a test page, it wouldn't print.

I believe my issue has to do with the Epson driver because when I deleted it
and re-installed with the Generic text driver instead of the Epson, it would
print. Just not with formatting and color.

So, does anyone know what might be going on, and what I may be able to do to
fix it?

Thanks!

There is a driver for the Epson 880 at the Epson website (and a Status
Monitor driver as well) which may well be later than the driver you are
currently using.
