I just recently upgraded from an old NEC pinwriter to the Epson stylus color 800. I use magicfilter for printing and installation was as easy as it could be. After upgrading to ghostscript 4.x I could even print in color up to 720dpi. Ghostscript 5 even supports Epson's 1440dpi, but I'll wait for the debian package. I don't know anything about the postscript option, though.
