Sorry, you are out of luck. As far as I know, the EPSON Stylus COLOR 400 is a Windows-only printer. Part of the printer code (ESC/P2, I guess) is in the software instead of in the printer hardware. Unless EPSON provides those source codes (highly unlikely) and someone bothers to write a Linux driver for it, this printer won't do much good for you. If it is not too late, return the SC400 and exchange for a SC600 or SC800. GhostScript 4.03 and especially 5.x support SC500, SC600, SC800, etc. Hope this helps.
