License : GPLv2+
Description : This package contains PPD files for newer Epson Inkjet printers which
: are not available in the fully open source epson-inkjet-printer-escpr
: driver.
:
: The escpr2 driver relies on a binary blob in the source package, which
: has been removed in Fedora. The PPD files have been patched to use the
: open source escpr driver, instead.
:
: Although many of the PPD files work with the older, fully open source
: driver (e.g. ET-3700 seems to work), it is quite likely that some
: don't. This is not a bug in the Fedora package, but a limitation of
: the partly closed-source upstream drivers.
