[CentOS] 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

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.
