On reading the posts at linuxprinting.org, I came to the conclusion that Epson did something different with the way they're printing on their new printers - and honestly, even printing from windows looks pretty bad. I'm not really impressed with their new line of printers at all. I had an Epson 860 that did great photos and pretty decent speed, but it was actually cheaper to buy the new printer than to buy the ink cartridges for the old printer! Now I know why. Anyway, stick to linuxprinting.org. Till Kamppeter is the guy who brought much of the great cups printing support to mandrake and he works on the list quite a bit - if anyone can help you get it working, it will be him.
