According to http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/pht/show_printer.cgi?recnum=62912
the Epson Stylus Color 400 is supported perfectly by the ghostscript driver "stcolor" (which is used by magicfilter) and also by the gs uniprint driver stc500p.upp and stc500ph.upp. In the file /etc/magicfilter/stylus_color_360dpi-filter is a comment that you should change the options for gs version >=3.51 (Debian comes with version 5.10), so maybe you should try this first. If you want to use the uniprint drivers, copy stylus_color_360dpi-filter to 2 new files, e.g. stc500p-filter and stc500ph-filter, and edit the following lines - for stc500p-filter: # PostScript 0 %! filter /usr/bin/gs @stc500p.upp -q -sOutputFile=- - 0 \004%! filter /usr/bin/gs @stc500p.upp -q -sOutputFile=- - # PDF 0 %PDF fpipe /usr/bin/gs @stc500p.upp -q -sOutputFile=- $FILE (the changes in stc500ph-filter are equivalent to the above) After these changes you can setup 2 printer queues for /dev/lp0 with magicfilterconfig using the new filter-files: stc500p-filter for 360x360 dpi and stc500ph-filter for 720x720 dpi. Hope these hints can help you to use your Stylus Color 400 under Linux.
