Hello, first of all: I am not at all an expert regarding photo printing (at home I use an online photo printing service for my photos). On Feb 11 14:23 Daniel Bauer wrote (shortened):

Regarding Linux support for Epson Stylus Photo printers see http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/ because the Gutenprint driver is THE standard driver for Epson non-PostScript printers. Unfortunately http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/p_Supported_Printers.php does not provide detailed information which quality the Gutenprint driver provides for which model so that you should also have a look at http://www.openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi?make=Epson and http://openprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=gutenprint to get some more information. Note that some data there is not verified and/or proofread. Sometimes there are additional user comments for a model, e.g. http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Epson-Stylus_Photo_RX700 "Colours poor, banding and incorrect colours in the test print wheel" Therefore not all Epson Stylus Photo printers work well out of the box. The reason is that for each different model the Gutenprint driver default values must be manually fine-tuned by the Gutenprint developers to get good out-of-the-box results which is a lot of work and requires that at least one Gutenprint developer owns the exact model. Otherwise the Gutenprint driver default values can be only a best-guess and then it is the end-user who must do the manual fine-tuning on his own.
