I bought the same printer and managed to get it working:

the epson M1200 is the same as EPL6200L

follow the instructions of marlus here:

Did you get it working properly? I've just bought one & am very disappointed by the lack of obvious drivers.

I just took my one back to the shop. I couldn't bear the idea of having constant hassles to install it. I think I try and get a HP printer instead.

It works. I just tested it with a 12 page test. Did not seem to misprint, as has happened in the past. Good luck

Salve a tutti,

sono decisamente in ritardo ma forse puo' ancora servire; io ho risolto seguendo alla lettera questa guida

Got it also working following the instructions given by Marlus. Here's my 10 section version of Marluses instructions:

1. Download epsoneplijs-0.4.1.tgz -file from address http://sourceforge.net/projects/epso...1.tgz/download

2. From terminal, in the directory where you downloaded epsoneplijs-0.4.1.tgz -file, type command: tar zxvf epsoneplijs-0.4.1.tgz

3. Go to directory epsoneplijs-0.4.1, which you just created, with command: cd epsoneplijs-0.4.1

4. Type command: ./configure --prefix=/usr

5. Type command: sudo make install

6. Download file: http://www.nemesys.fi/tiedostot/ubun...200L-Hardy.ppd

7. Connect your printer to your computer and turn it on. (You can do it in the beginning, but at least now you need it connected and powered on.)

8. Go to System Settings → Printing → click “Add” and choose from the list Epson AL-M1200.

9. Click "Forward". Ubuntu searches for drivers for some time and then gives “New printer”-window with the title “Choose driver”.

10. Tick the box "Provide PPD file” and navigate to the directory where you downloaded it and choose it.

11. Click "Open" and "Forward". Ubuntu asks if you want a test page.
