Comments

Uniprint Requires a modified uniprinter file for USB interface. Using the USB interface (tested with linux-kernel 2.4.0test1), the printer no longer claims to be a Stylus Color 670, instead it speeks about a 'USB Printer' model from Epson. To be more exact, Stylus Color 670 needs the same extra lines in -dupBeginPageCommand section that the Stylus Color 760 needs: (found on linux-usb.org) Line1 = 00 00 00 Line2 = 1b 01 40 45 4a 4c 20 31 32 38 34 2e 34 0a Line3 = 40 45 4a 4c 20 20 20 20 20 0a Gimp-print aka stp The stp/gimp-print driver works just fine; it sends those control codes already. It prints color loads better, too...

The german computer magazine c't - Magazin fuer Computertechnik (21/2000) recommends for the Epson Stylus Color 670: Text Uniprint, stc600pl Photo stp/720x720 (options: -sModel=escp2-670 -sQuality='720 DPI Highest Quality' -sMediaType='Glossy Film' ). Stp gets a 'good' rating for photo quality! Best ratings were achieved adding -dImageType=2 -dGreen=85 -dGamma=1.3 .

Consumables/Refills: Separate black and color ink cartridges
