Thanks for that. I have one of these and it gives great results for
photos. However, being lazy and wanting full support for it, I spent $29
or so on the commercial driver from TurboPrint (www.turboprint.de) which
integrates with CUPS and gives full access to the printer's features.
Worth the few bob until/unless full OSS support happens, which is unlikely.
BTW, I used USB on a Debiabn Sarge PC, and it was recognised immediately.
