Actually, Ric, since I know you've got access to Piglet, you've got the
driver already. I swapped a bit of email with someone there (Bill, I
think), and sent the drivers; they're in there already!
Just execute printtool, click on "select", and then choose
"Epson Stylus Color". Under "Color Depth/Uniprint mode" select
either stc740ih, stc740p, or stc740pl. Then mark the "Send EOF",
"Fix stair-stepping" and "Fast Text printing" options, click on "Ok"
and you should be off to the races.
For anyone running an earlier version of RH who needs the driver, you
can get it from <http://lcewww.et.tudelft.nl/~haver/linux/epson.html>;
it comes with printerdb's for 5.1 & others, the filters, and
instructions
that work.
