	Epson Stylus Color 3000

Color inkjet printer, max. 1440x720 dpi, works Perfectly

Recommended Driver: gutenprint (Home page)

Generic Instructions: CUPS, no spooler

Miscellaneous

Printer supports direct text printing with the 'us-ascii' charset.

Comments

Using the stcolor drivers, max resolution is 360dpi. Most other features are working, though. Epson sends a RIP module with the windows drivers that is a PS to ESP/2 converter. I bought the printer expecting it to have native PS but it doesn't.
Should work quite well with the stp gimp-print driver. Someone let me know if it qualifies for perfect. (The gim-print folks say that it does; good enough for me).

Consumables/Refills: 4 separate ink cartridges
