I can second that especially for colour reproduction on my Espon Stylus 
Color
600.

Mtink is a nice little tool for Epson printers and is available in the 
Debian repositories. It's similar to the tool Epson supplies for M$ 
systems and
I've occassionally found it useful during a crisis (I have many of these!!).

Mozilla always prints way too large on my set up. Never bothered to find
out why though.
