Trying to print via wifi to epson stylus color 740 but can't

Question

Hi all,
I am trying to set up my just purchased PowerBook g4 to print via airport wifi to an epson stylus color 740. I have been printing to this printer from my old laptop without any problems but I forgot how I set it up. It had something to do with lpt1 protocols. Is that IP address setup? I am now trying to set it up through OS X 10.5.4 and the other laptop has OS X 10.3.9. The dialog box is a little different and gives me many options for connecting. Which one do I use? The printer is hard wired to my SMC router which is connected to my g4 tower.
I got as far as trying to print to the printer but it would say it was sending then says the printer is paused when it isn't.
On my Titanium g4 the settings are:
printer name: lpt1on192.168.2.1 on 192.168.2.1
location: unknown
queue name: lpt1on_192.168.2.1_on192.168.2.1-1@g4tower
host name:g4tower.local
These settings are working not only for the Titanium g4 but for 2 other IBooks in the house. I just don't know where to put the settings in Leopard.
Thanks for any help,

Answer 1

Generally, there are two issues.  First, you must know which paper to select, and second you must specify a feed-method that allows the paper you want to be in the list.
Second thing first, as it's more tricky.
The paper selection in the "Media Type" drop-down of the Epson 3880 Print dialog (the second print dialog presented when printing from Aperture) is limited by the selection you make for "Paper Size" in the Printer section of the Aperture "Print" dialog.  To get "Fine Art" papers to show (and be selectable) in the Media Type drop-down, you must specify a Paper Size that allows those papers.  Anything marked "Manual" should suffice.
An example will be helpful  .  I print most of my work on Epson's Hot Pressed paper, which I purchase in boxes of sheets.  If I am printing to 8 ½ x 11 inch sheets, I do the following:
In Aperture, in the Printer section of the Print dialog, I select "US Letter (Manual - Rear)":
(This is the key.  Selecting "US Letter" will not allow me to specify the paper I want.)
When I click the button "Print", another Print dialog opens.  This one is specific to the printer (in this case, the Epson 3880).  In that dialog, I specify for "Media Type" on the "Basic" tab of the "Printer Settings" tab of the "Print" dialog "Hot Press Bright":
This shows in the drop-down menu, along with other papers which must be fed manually:
I hope that helps.  Non-Epson papers should come with instructions telling you the paper to select.  For instance, I also print to Hahnemühle Harman low-gloss papers.  These specify that I select "Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster", which I do:
In the above dialogs, you can see that I have created printer presets for the papers I regularly use.
