OS X Epson Stylus C84 driver - handleOpen failing...

Every time I print to my Epson C84, my system.log shows the following
entries:

Dec 26 17:33:28 My-Computer kernel: USBF: 321073.905
IOUSBInterface[0x19c2800]::handleOpen failing because super::handleOpen
failed (someone already has it open)

Despite the error, everything prints just fine. I've googled the error
and found little information. Epson's support site has nothing at all
related to the error.

I'm running OS X 10.3.7 on a PowerMac G4/450DP, with the C84 connected
via USB. The printer is shared so my eMac and iBook can print to it.

I hooked my older Epson Stylus Color 900 up to my eMac (also 10.3.7)
via USB, and it generates the exact same error message on every print
job. That printer is NOT shared.

Anyone else seeing this? Seems like a basic flaw in the driver, though
not one that appears to cause any problems. I'm going to email Epson
and see what they say.

Try this:
Goto "Your Hard Drive">> Library > printers > Epson > and trash the c84
series.plugin, then restart your mac. After restarting advised to download
the driver epson10826.sea.hqx and unstuff, then install. OSX will ask for
password to install drivers then must reboot, continue. After 2nd boot go
into Printer & Faxes and add printer , if you already see one delete it
cos it's a gimp drivers. Then add one from "Epson USB", you should have no
problems then.If this works then you'll need to reinstall the Epson
printer.pkg from disc 2&3 on the Panther CD's.

Hope this helps, if not try giving Epson email support a shout
