hi ya fyi... contrary to some (cups) howto's epson stylus photo R300 w/ cups-1.1.23 seems to work fine :-) - it'd be my first printer to ever work w/ cups after fiddling with its config files for 8hrs or so - next step .. to print fancy graphics directly onto the CDs ( guess what kind of CDs and it aint cd's w/ pics ) c ya alvin
