Old thread. I know...

My own question with printers is "will it work with Linux?". With the Epsons printers we've had, I have been very pleased with the Gutenprint drivers that form part of Linux distributions. Our current Epson which is used for photos and better quality colour (also have a Xerox laser for other printing) is the P50.

For me and the Epsons printers we've had, they just work out of the box fine with no need to install any manufacturers drivers.
