[Gimp-print-devel] Fwd: RE: Printer info for Linux

[Karl H. K. <kh...@kh...>]

I just received the attached message from EPSON's Developer
Relations department. Unfortunately the remote mode is not
considered part of ESC/P2, so we still don't know about how
to get the inklevels from the printer - at least not through
official documentation.

The engineer I'm in contact with asked me to remove his email
address, which I've done. He prefers to receive all inquries
through me. Looks like I've a new hat now. :-)=20

The ISV he's refering to is in our case (because we don't
have any employees, existing products, official plans to
support future products, ..) just a name, email address
and snail mail address. If nobody objects, I will act as
contact for this project as well (I was already in touch=20
with EPSON wearing my SANE EPSON backend maintainer hat).

Hello Karl,

We had an internal meeting.  It was decided that we can open up all the
ESC/P2 commands to third party developers even without NDA.  However,
particular solutions, such as microweaving and halftoning, will not be
provided.  Given my profound respect for the talent that abounds within the
Linux community, I am sure that the solutions engineered by these freelance
developers will rival (if not surpass) the print quality on EPSON's Windows
drivers.

Actually, we would really appreciate it if you could fill out one of our ISV
Support Program Application.  It's just for our internal record keeping
purpose.  Thanks.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
Po.
