Epson Stylus C60

Hi, I have an Epson Stylus C60 that I would like to start printing on. I know for a fact it uses the "gimp-print" printer driver. I also know for a fact that it worked great on my laptop when I used Debian and RedHat.

My question is as follows: I want to install the gimp-print drivers (along with cups and foomatic), but I DO NOT want to have Gimp or gnome-libs or anything Gnome related (besides the driver) installed on my machine. This isn't because I hate Gnome ... it's simply because I don't exactly have a ton of space to allow for these programs to be installed on my machine.

So if someone out there could help me out and figure out a way to get gimp-print drivers on my machine and my printer up and running, I would greatly appreciate it.

P.S. Mainly I want to have commandline print support (lp), Mozilla printing, OpenOffice printer support, and Gvim printer support. So if someone out there knows the good stuff, I'd be much obliged. Thank you.

If you put "-gnome" in your USE variable then the only absolute dependencies you'll get are gnome-libs and ORBit.

I also strongly recommend CUPS and gimp-print-cups.

I have a C80 and it prints perfectly with CUPS.
