I've had great success with my Epson Stylus Photo 780 using Slackware
and the gimp-print plugin and CUPS.

Check out the following links:

                http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net
                http://www.cups.org

While the Stylus Photo is *slow* when printing at photo quality, the
output is fantastic.

Good Luck!
