- PostScript version of the Epson EPL-5900<p>
-
- Epson provides a free (LGPL) driver for this printer. With this
- the printer should work to its full extent.<p>
-
- Unfortunately, Epson's "eplaser" driver (or
- perhaps the printer's firmware) is somewhat buggy. It
- prints most documents, but images converted to PostScript with
- "convert" or by the built-in filters of CUPS leads
- often to incorrect printouts (stretched by a factor of 3 or 4 in
- horizontal direction). So it is recommended to use this printer
- in PostScript mode, uncompressed PPD files are on the CD
- delivered with the PostScript module, use the PPD files for
- Windows NT 4.0, they should work with all spoolers/applications
- under free OS.<p>
-
- Further tests with the "pxlmono" driver did not show
- this problem. The printer works perfectly in 1200 dpi with this
- driver, only full-page photos take very long to be
- rendered.<p>
