Things are a bit better now, but there are still plenty of driver niggles such as roll paper settings not sticking in 10.8 and various utility screw ups.
In my case with the Pro 9900, Epson driver, roll paper setting sticks when I set for sheet. Hmmm. Do wish I knew how to prevent this.

A lot of fine art printers have to maintain a Mac museum setup - CS4 Photoshop, 10.6 and an old Epson driver because changing any of this production chain is too painful.
