Erik,

The Stylus RIP is not seeing the printer for some reason. I did revisit
the
Epson web site and found they do have a 1520 update now. I downloaded that
and did the update with no effect. I also upgraded Illustrator to 8.0.1.
and
was able to print my files from Illustrator without using the Stylus RIP.
I
guess my next option might be to re-install the RIP software and see if
that
got corrupted somehow.

Thanks,
Gary Raham
