Epson 4x6 And 5x7 Photo Printer GNU/Linux Edition (TPE-EPS400)

Please note this is not a full size printer for 8x11 photos, but a printer specifically geared at printing photos on 4x6 and 5x7 photo paper. Don't get just any photo printer! Get a penguin printer with proper support for GNU/Linux. Most photo printers don't have proper support under any operating system and you can expect to see whatever support you do get disappear in short order. This is typically shortly after a manufacturer discontinues a printer, and new models come out about every ~6-12 months so your support period isn't even that long. Fortunately by purchasing from our line-up of freedom friendly printers you don't have to worry about that on at least GNU/Linux and similarly free software systems thanks to a community of developers who maintain free software drivers for our printer line-up. Within the photo printer space there is one exception to the 'all photo printers are poorly supported' situation. Our Epson Photo Printer utilizes a free software driver and has been properly vetted by us. You can be confident it will work today, tomorrow, and far in the future because of the free software drivers shipping with most (if not near all) GNU/Linux distributions. Need a demonstration?
