   I purchased a Lexmark Z52 printer for photo quality printing.  I
   thought it was well supported by linux drivers.  I found that I
   could not get the Lexmark driver to work and the cups-gimp driver
   is very very slow at 1200 and the 2400 mode is not supported.(over
   30 minutes for a full page) I am considering an Epson printer
   possibly the 880 or 990 but these are not fully supported yet.  Any
   time frame for full support?  Any better ideas for a photo printer
   for linux?

To the best of my knowledge, the Epson printers you mention (880 and
980 -- there is no 990) are reasonably fully supported, at least in
4.1.  If you want a no holds barred photo printer, try any of the
Epson Stylus Photo printers (780/790, 890, 1290, or the earlier
generation ones).
