Hello Gutenprint Support team,
I'd love to see Epson ET, EcoTank printers among Gutenprint drivers. I have an ET-3750 which may work with ET-3600 or ET-4500 drivers too. Thanks anyway for the great software.
I'm going to need to get my hands on this printer, but I'd really like to support this series. These printers are based on 300 dpi rather than 360, so it will require coding change, not just a new XML file.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Thanks for the note about the ET-2750; I've added it to the supported list (although it apparently supports duplex, which the L210 doesn't).. The ET-3750, however, is a very different printer.
Regarding the E&-2750, though, I would like to support duplex on it, and I'd also like to know what the head configuration is. Could you print a test page (from the front panel)? Usually (among other things) it will print a grid pattern so that you can see that each nozzle is printing. The grid pattern should have 180 black lines (in a 10x18 grid) and 60 lines each (in a 10x6 grid) of cyan (blue), magenta (reddish), and yellow. But it may be more; if it is, it will be possible to get better performance. For duplex, when I have some time, I can take a guess at what will work and send you some data files to let you try it out along with instructions, if you'd be interested.

Tested the L210 driver on an ET-2750 and seems to work great.

I have printed a test page and the grid pattern is as you said:
Black: 10x18 - 180 lines
For each colour(Y/M/C): 10x6 - 60 lines
You can send me whatever needs to be tested. I really don't mind so don't hesitate.
Thank you!

Just tested gutenprint-5.3.3-1.fc31.x86_64 and printing does work really well for the Epson ET-2750, thank you!
Can you please send me some data files to get duplex printing working as well?
The ET-2750 model file indicates that borderless should be enabled on this printer -- is it not working?
@rlk
I was talking about double sided printing, but I just tested borderless printing and it isn't working either.
Is there anything I can do to help resolving those issues?
