It does have slots for memory...
I can't get this printer to work, and the cups error_log shows no errors.
I had been reading a HOW-TO on the CUPS site and I set the loglevel to debug, 
figuring I'd get a message about a broken pipe due to a missing filter.
No such luck. Far as CUPS is concerned, it's working. But it only feeds sheet 
after sheet and occasionally prints garbage.
I've tried CUPS test page and a one sheet doc from KATE.
The gutenprint doc says I should have an Epson backend 
in /usr/lib/cups/backend (but I think on freebsd it will be 
in /usr/local/libexec/cups/backend).
But it's not there...
