Any succes in printing with Epson 7880 from CS4 in OS X Mavericks?

[Vogler]

All,

I just breathed life into a 7880 which has been unused for over a year and am eager to make some nice prints, but am now facing problems printing with CS4.
The printer works from other applications, as well as with CS4 on my wife's OS X Lion laptop.
CS4 sees the printer, starts spooling for a short while (too short) and the prints dissapear into limbo.
I hear the printer react to the job. The faint wisteling hi-frequency hiss that you hear when it is idle changes for a moment and then everything stops.
I did reset the printer settings, removed everything Epson, reinstalled the drivers (9.17) but still no show.
Also the Colorsync Utility stops responding when clicking on the devices tab (on both laptops).
- Does anyone have another suggestions?
- Does anyone succeed in succesfully printing with CS4/Mavericks/Epson 7880-9880?
(By the way, as a bonus Mavericks makes the battery act up too.)

Thanks for having taken the time to read my thread.
