CentOS - Jun 2012 - What to use on CentOS 6.2 w/ an Epson Stylus Photo 2200

Epson doesn't seem to have one; I see an rpm at openprinting.org, but that
.rpm d/l I started around 11:30 my time, and the d/l slowed, and slowed,
and it's been at 21% and "1 hr 17 min to go" for it seems like
close to
half an hour. I d/l a tar.bz2, but I'm not sure I want to build and
install it - my use of this printer is temporary, and I want to be able to
uninstall it all.

I also can't seem to find what some of the Epson drivers in the std.
CentOS CUPS packages handle. Anyone have any pointers?

Mark, this system was installed as 6.0 and upgraded to 6.2. 

In /etc/cups/ppd I see two files re Epson 2200 Stylus Photo:
	 EPSON_Stylus_Photo_2200_USB_1.ppd and Stylus_Photo_2200.ppd.

These were installed from install DVD. No known issues here.  HTH.

B.J.
