I had problems originally when using CUPS+Gimp-Print v4.2.5 but after upgrading to CUPS+Gimp-Print v5.0.0-alpha1 everything seems fine.

Also be careful that you compile the correct modules for usb mass storage if you want to use the built in card reader.

I have installed gimp-print 5.0.0-alpha1 and CUPS. I cannot get this printer to function. Any chance of a more detailed walk-through? I'm positive this is user error, as I have not had any experience setting up CUPS with gimp-print in the past. When I print a test page in CUPS I am getting this error :

Code:
"Unable to open USB device "usb://EPSON/Stylus%20Photo%20R300": No such device"
Device URI: usb://EPSON/Stylus%20Photo%20R300
but I know there is not a physical problem as I can get the memory card readers in the printer to mount properly.

Works fine with guten-print 5 beta 3 drivers and cups, havent tried printing to CD yet, but the driver looks like it supports it.

Havent managed to get the card reader mountable yet.

Everything seems to work fine out of the box, including the memory card reader, which automatically detects and mounts any card inserted.
Print quality is excellent, much stronger and crisper than via XP.
It won't print directly to CD using the standard Gimp-Print drivers though, It looks like an upgrade to the GutenPrint drivers has addressed this issue allthough I haven't personally tried this myself yet.
