Currently there are several different drivers available that will enable printing on a full line of EPSON printers. Links to these drivers can be found at www.epsondevelopers.com. We encourage you to include one of these solutions within your distribution packages to enable high quality printing. EPSON also has embedded Linux printing solutions that can be made available to you. If you would like to learn more about the solutions and would like to have a working relationship directly with EPSON to ensure the best available support please complete the attached ISV application form to become an EPSON developer.
