      PostScript version of the Epson EPL-5900&lt;p&gt;

      Epson provides a free (LGPL) driver for this printer. With this
      the printer should work to its full extent.&lt;p&gt;

      Unfortunately, Epson's &quot;eplaser&quot; driver (or
      perhaps the printer's firmware) is somewhat buggy. It
      prints most documents, but images converted to PostScript with
      &quot;convert&quot; or by the built-in filters of CUPS leads
      often to incorrect printouts (stretched by a factor of 3 or 4 in
      horizontal direction). So it is recommended to use this printer
      in PostScript mode, uncompressed PPD files are on the CD
      delivered with the PostScript module, use the PPD files for
      Windows NT 4.0, they should work with all spoolers/applications
      under free OS.&lt;p&gt;

      Further tests with the &quot;pxlmono&quot; driver did not show
      this problem. The printer works perfectly in 1200 dpi with this
      driver, only full-page photos take very long to be
      rendered.&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

      Consumables/Refills: toner cartridge, drum cartridge&lt;p&gt;
