The problems I've had have, I'll admit, been in trying to share Epson printers 
on Windows networks.  They use their own proprietary software instead of 
working within the Windows spooler, and it's lousy code as well.  Sharing 
doesn't even involve the usual method of sending the job to a remote spool, 
but requires the special software on the two machines to talk to each other.  
Very ugly and innefficient.

I'm surprised to hear that there is support for current Epsons in Linux, but 
Linus is full of surprises.
