Updates: Safari 6.0 and more

Today is the Mac OS X Mountain Lion Release date. I am in the rush to get update right away. The first thing I have to prepare for the OS X update: getting more updates from Apple first. Then I need to wait for more information about download once and install on multiple Macs. It seems that there are already some information available. To make a installation USB or DVD for Mountain Lion seems different from the previous OS X Lion. When I get all the information and ready for the update, I'll do it.

Today's updates contain three items. Here are the snapshots of those updates.

EPSON Printer Update

This is a EPSON printer update. Based on the information I learned from WWDC, all the updates for Mac OS X are controlled by Apple, including printer driver updates. In this way, Mac users don't need to search or contact their printer company web sites for new updates. As long as you install your printer driver once, Apple will automatically pass the tested updates to user through Apple regular updates.

I have many EPSON printer updates in the past. This is because I installed EPSON printer before and I still have it. When you don't use your printer, you can easily find it from System Preference->Printer & Scan, remove it from there.

Here is the snapshot of the update:
