Hmm, the ink price is a concern, but I am definitely not planning on upgrading until at least SuSE 8.1 at the earliest (I have enough grief as it is, thank you very much), so the lack of drivers could actually keep me from purchasing an Epson at all.

Brian The only reason it lacks drivers is because the printer is actually newer than SuSE 7.3. They can only include drivers for printers that exist at the time

Installing GimpPrint and Cups isn't really that hard to do, and once installed it works really well in my experience. Until about a month ago I would have even had 7.3 RPMs I could have sent you, but I am no 8.0 now and deleted all my old stuff.
