I have had a hard time getting my 2200 working under FreeBSD.  It works 
great under Linux w/ CUPS and Gimp-Print.  It even auto detected the 
printer.  I love FreeBSD as a server platform, but I have had a tough 
time setting it up as a desktop.  If anybody can recommend a good port 
for my Epson.  I had CUPS working after a lot of fuss, but I did not 
like the print quality.  I installed Gimp-Print, but I could not see the 
filters under CUPS, I tried pips for the 2200, and it showed up in CUPS, 
but did not work.  Finally I decided to ditch CUPS and use APSfilter, 
but It did not have the right driver for my 2200.  Installing APSfilter 
broke my CUPS installation, and re-installing CUPS did not fix the 
problem.  Like I said, this has been a tough ride.  (but I'm willing to 
stick it out because I love FreeBSD security).

Thanks
