Hi,
Was there an overwhelming reason to upgrade to Snow Leopard? I prefer
to keep the O.S. contemporary with the hard-ware I use to prevent this
kind of challenges. When everything is running the way I want, I stick
to that version of the O.S. and live happily ever after for the time
being.
Ferdi,
Power PC Mac, O.S.10.4.11, Epson 2100(2200) printer, Nikon 5000
scanner, etc.

Just wanted to pass this on in the event folks have the same
problem. I installed Snow Leopard OS 10.6 today and found my Epson
Stylus R2400 printer wouldn't work. One has to install "Rosetta"
from the Snow Leopard optional software and then download a new
driver from the Epson 'drivers and support' web site. All is fine
so far. However, I have been using a firewire cable to connect this
printer. Under the new OS & driver one cannot use firewire. It has
to be a USB printer cable. I think it has something to do with
'Xcode' which Epson is using to mount their drivers under OS 10.6.
I know I had a simpler situation with Gimp which also uses Xcode.
It seems the Xcode end doesn't support firewire. If I hadn't had
that experience I would still be scratching my head as the firewire/
usb situation is not discussed anywhere. This to me is a big bummer
because firewire is a bit faster and I don't have an extra USB port
to hook up the printer. I have written Epson about this - we will
see. At least it is working ok - so far.
