Several months ago, when I purchased a printer, I concluded that the
Epson Stylus 640 and 740 (I may have the numbers confused) used a
newer and incompatable protocol, hence wouldn't work with Ghostscript
(at least with the builtin drivers). Apparently, you need at least
the 840(?) model for backword compatability.
If you want to be able to print postscript files, the only thing
I can suggest is to setup a "windows" computer, as the "windows"
version of Ghostscript can use the native "windows" driver...
Please correct me though, if I am wrong... However I am just repeating
what Epson tech support told me.
