Epson Stylus (400,600,800,...) und Epson Stylus Color

Install the package apsfilter and execute the program

/usr/lib/apsfilter/SETUP
or configure apsfilter with YaST. Answer "st800" in case of the Epson Stylus 800 or "stcolor" in case of the Epson Stylus Color or newer models (400, 600), when being asked for the printer type.

It is necessary to adjust the default resolution since these printers don't support 300x300 dpi . During the printer configuration with YaST specify the desired resolution (180x180, 360x360 or 720x720). You can also attach a line similar to the following to the file /etc/apsfilterrc :

        GS_RESOL=360x360

If you would like to use more features of these printers, you can find further detailed information in the section "Epson" of the file /usr/share/ghostscript/<ghostscript-Version>/doc/devices.txt.

For most Epson Stylus printers (and for other printers, that understand the Esc/P2 printer language) it is recommended to install the newest version (5.x) of Ghostscript and to use the "uniprint" drivers in conjunction with a suitable stc* parameter file (e.g. stc600ih.upp or stc800ih.upp); Further information can be found in the above mentioned file devices.txt of Ghostscript 5.x .
