Hope these aren't all RTFM questions...

I just purchased an Epson Stylus C82 printer. SuSE nicely picked up that
I had installed a printer and at some point I had to pick the printer
type. The closest type to my model listed was the Epson Stylus C80. The
print test went ok so I 'guess' I'm good to go. A couple questions
though..

1) Do I need to try to find C82 drivers? If so what do I need to do
special after I install them. Will I see a choice then for C82 in YaST
when setting up a printer?

2) I went to epson's site just to see what was out there for Linux and
didn't seem to find much in the way of drivers. Do I need to go
somewhere else for drivers?

3) While searching the web for related espon printer and linux stuff I
ran across gimp-print. http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/index.php3
Is this something very worthwhile to install?

Thanks for any help
