Hello all,

I am trying to install the drivers and other software for my epson me 30 printer. However, it is only set up to work for mac and windows it seems. I have done some research though and found it could be used using other drivers. I have tried accessing the printer functions and downloading drivers that would work, however it won't print. I tried downloading wine and using it to somehow use the software from th cd that came with the printer, however I don't know how to use wine, and I don't think it will work.

Does anyone know if there are any drivers for this specific printer that will work with linux? I like linux pretty much now and would hate to have to go back to Windows, however I need my printer. Any auggestions?

I hope this helps:

This is the ME 300, not the ME 30, but maybe worth a try?
