Look for Gimp-print on versiontracker.com. It is an open source 
driver package that includes nearly all Epson printers. You will also 
need to get a USB->parallel adapter, since OS X doesn't support 
serial printing. I got an Inland adapter for $20 at Microcenter. 
Belkin's is supposed to work too. Together, I have perfect support 
for my old Epson 600.

Brand and model? OS X is very picky about SCSI. You may need to reset 
some jumpers, double check termination, etc.
