Not supported by Mandrake's version of gimp-print. So, you need to go to http://www.epkowa.co.jp/english/index_e.html and get the drivers from there. Follow the very clear instructions and then you can use Mandrake's Printerdrake to select your new driver. Don't worry if the Test Page doesn't print - it won't on my machines, but everything else works perfectly.

Very easy setup with gimp-print drivers (I used the kprinter setup dialog).
Select Epson Stylus C64 Foomatic/gimp-print-ijs driver.
Works perfectly with CUPS.
(The actual model I used was the "Epson Stylus C64 Photo" printer, I have yet to notice a difference :)).

The printer was automatically recognized and the drivers were installed without me even knowing it had found my printer. Test page prints out fine and everything works perfect.

Works very well with gimp-print. Sharing via samba works about 90% of the time(some large jobs time out on the latter pages). The only downfall is that there's no interface for the cartridge monitor app they have for windows, expected being that they market this printer as windows only.
