Hear, Hear!  My epson stylus cx3200 multi function device was not
working until this bit of sage advice.  

Earlier, I had tried a number of the epson drivers in the default warty
install, to no avail.

Saves me a lot of time as I had been editing images on ubuntu with gimp,
saving them to an SMB share on a windows box, and then printing them
from the windows box.

Thanks!
