   I saw on slashdot (discussion about the CUPS printing system) that
   you have done some work on programming the Epson Photo printers.
   I'm interested in getting an Epson printer, possibly an Epson Photo 750.
   Is the documentation for the Epson printers publicly available?
   If so, where? I'd like if I could help myself if I was not happy with
   the printing results :)

I'm working on support for it right now, but I don't have one to test
it on.  There is documentation available at
http://www.ercipd.com/isv/edr_docs.htm.

You might want to register on sourceforge.net (the gimp-print project
is https://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=1537), and check out the
sources from CVS.

   On your webpage I see that you code has not yet been ported to the
   Epson Photo 750. Do you know what is needed? Would you maybe reccomend
   any other printer to use with Linux. I need to print reports written
   in LaTeX that sometimes include photographic pictures (I'm studying
   image processing).

Well, the Stylus Photo 700/EX (the older series photo printers) are
very well supported (that's the one that I have :-) ).  Henryk Richter
ported one of the intermediate versions of the driver to Ghostscript,
so it could be used as a general printing solution.  However, there
are still some bugs in it that I hope to eliminate shortly.
