Epson have written a Linux driver for it which fits into the current lpr/lprng/ghostscript system and gives the same quality of print output as the Windows driver. The Epson package also includes a GUI utility to change paper type and print quality. >From the web page: "It brings out the maximum performance of the printer hardware such as 1440*720dpi and six color ink by using the same image processing module as the driver for Win/Mac and the microweave technology. It offers the same print mode provided for the Win/Mac driver. The print mode setting is supported. We provide the open source as much as possible." The driver is obtainable from: http://www.epkowa.co.jp/english/linux_e/pips_e.html -- Phillip Deackes Using Progeny Debian Linux
