Epson R2880 for Gimp?

A week or so ago, someone asked about using the Epson Stulus 3800 for Gimp printing
on SUSE 11.  Owen responded that the Epson 3800 does not work with Linux.

Now I think (but can't find in the archives) that someone else recommended Epson R2880.
Before I buy, could I get confirmation that the Epson R2880 is recommended for Gimp
printing?

Thanks - I'm using openSUSE11.0, and want good quality, long-lasting photo prints.

That printer doesn't get a mention on
http://www.openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi where i suggest you first
check printers for their "linux compatibility"

Secondly search the manufacturers site for the drivers if not found on
openprinting.org, I have known drivers to be available for Brother
equipment before being include in various distros.

Otherwise can't help you
