Hello, new to Mac's and I'm wondering where one can get the driver for this
beast. I've checked Epson's website and they have drivers for pre MacOS X. I
also downloaded the latest GIMP-Print, but the drivers are for _USB_ Epson
printers.

MacOS 10.2.8

Suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Your title to this thread would seem to indicate that you want to use
the Epson 600 via the *serial* port. No printers that I know of use ADB.

Epson printers will not work via the serial port in OS X 10.2.x or
10.3.x. You need to use a parallel-to-USB adapter. You may have to
install a USB PCI card in your computer if you don't otherwise have USB
ports. You can then use the Gimp-Print drivers along with ESP
Ghostscript.
