   I have just recently purchased an Epson R200 and I would just LOVE
   to get borderless printing to work under Linux.  I have installed
   gimp print (great quality output by the way) and the bottom last
   bit doesn't print.  I have read around and it says basically we
   have to learn something from Epson to get it to work.

   I am willing to do some legwork, but I have very little data other
   than this to go on.  Do we know the name of what we need?  Maybe a
   short description?  I assume it is a control code of some kind, but
   does it have a name?

   Is there anything I can do to help solve this missing feature?

We know in general what we need for this -- it's some kind of remote
mode command.  These days Epson seems to be encoding a whole slew of
things in one very big command, but there's likely also a much simpler
command that will accomplish the same thing (it would most likely
expand the vertical print area).  But we don't know precisely what it
is.
