Edited Notes

Known not to use a standard protocol as PostScript or PCL; not to be confused with the EPL-5800.

Dr H. T. Leung and Roberto Ragusa have developed a driver; based on reverse-engineering of the printer's protocol.

Printing through the parallel port works, USB is not tested yet.

Consumables/Refills: Separate photoconductor drum and toner cartridge

User Notes

if using Flowcontrol One has to take care that the printer device is set 
as "file:/dev/null" not only "/dev/null"
Otherwise the CUPS server crashes after print.
