Sorry for the late reply, been away for a week. Is the Epson C900 you are 
referring to a Stylus Color 900? If so, that's the printer I'm using. Works 
ok with SuSE 9.1 and Fedora. The only issue I have is that after it is 
switched off, sometimes I have to disconnect it and reconnect to get it to 
print but this may be hardware fault thats developing.
