I have an Epson Stylus 800 connected to my PC running Debian Linux, and it
works. I use enscript and apsfilter for ordinary printing and they produce
a satsfactory output (though i had to redefine the a4 page format in
enscript configuration file). 

By the way i do not know anything of the Stylus 600.

I agree, it's a little bit more complex than connecting it to a windows
box. As always: keep calm, read manuals and write down each step you make.

I was recently using a Stylus 500 here to print LaTeX documents with
no problems, after installing *gs-aladdin*.  Previous versions of
Ghostscript seemed a bit broken with their support for ESC/P2
printers.

Hi listers,
I would love to hear from someone who is using the Epson Stylus 600 or 800
with their Debian box.  I don't have a printer yet...and this particular
model seems to fit what I'm looking for at a reasonable cost.  I know I
could always use win95 but that wouldn't be any fun now would it?  Besides
it wrecks my "uptime"...hehe

Now knowing anything at the moment about hooking a printer to my box is a
little intimidating, so I thought it'd be nice to know that someone else
is able to make that particular model work before I drop any money...and
spend some time with my freinds "man", "howto", "/usr/doc/" and
"dejanews"...
