Here goes!

Bug #293890, is a request from me to provide 5.0.0-beta2 in
experimental.

Roger Leigh, now has released 5.0.0-beta4 into experimental.

BTW, experimental can be installed in any version additionally.

I have both an R300 and an RX600, I can do near everything that either
printer can do. Photos are spectacular, exactly the same as Windows
(IMNSHO) as I have photos printer through the same printer from both
Windows and Linux with Cups and Gimpprint.

Make sure you have the latest PPDs/Capabilities description files for
the package. It made a difference last year, might not now.

Heck, even Epson "claims" Linux is supported now, through a 3rd party
using CUPS.
