I'm curious about the printer support. I had Windows 2K3 be an LP server, which essentially translates postscript printjobs to GDI print jobs and sends it to the native Windows-only printer driver. Though, you don't get the best of quality, but it works. Though I would dearly love to get this Epson Sylus Color R400 variety to work natively. :-)
I suggest that you have a look at this site for cups drivers for Epson Printers and download the drivers from here.

The listing on Linux Printing only recommends the Gimp-Print backend (which apparently only works partially) but the above site is Epson's own support page for printers and scanners. http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi?make=Epson

Thanks for this link. I did notice that the site supports only i386 at the moment. Hopefully x86_64 will follow. Has anyone tried these (printer and scanner drivers) with x86_64 to see whether they work reliably anyway? Thanks, Richard
