Have you tried Epson proprietary driver? I'm gather information about this
printer and planning to use it with some bash script that will prepare
needed images and sending them to printer. I don't find information about
printing quality with open source non-Epson drivers so I plan to use Epsons
drivers. Maybe you can try this drivers and share your experience?
Here needed files:
