Sure OpenSUSE 10.2 did see my Epson AcuLaser C1100 and the new Epson 
Perfection V100 Photo because they are USB, but the installation of the two 
RPM's is easy. It delivers the *.ppd files needed., and a normal YaST 
installation over Hardware - Printer works by selecting the *.PPD after the 
RPM's are installed. I even print to it over a network. The most difficult 
was CUPS workstations communicating to a CUPS Server where the printer was 
installed on. As a Samba-SMB printer all OpnSUSE workstations and XP's can 
print to it with SMB, but CUPS causes the most problems, as far as I 
experienced.
