Epson Stylus C86 Inkjet Printer

[Mark Phillips]

MIke,

I have an Epson Color Stylus 880 that I use for linux printing and it works 
just fine. I use cups and all the drivers are there. The printer is connected 
to a linksys printserver, so I share the printer with several computers. 

The web interface to cups (http://localhost:631) makes setting up the printer 
a breeze. Just enter the address of the server, select Epson, selected the 
driver for the 880, and it is ready to go.

I know nothing about the C86 - but if it is supported by cups then it should 
work as well.
