Do you mean the Pro? Now replaced by the 3880? Don't do it, there's no
driver for it. I bought a R2880 and it works fine. Same technology
(inks, heads I think) but smaller size (13 inch wide).

Unfortunately, without access to it, I'm not going to be able to do a
driver for it (and I don't have a programming manual either, although
that could be worked around).

Most of the Pro range is in that situation which is unfortunate given
how gutenprint has made epson printers such a great option for Linux
users. HP seems to be much more friendly towards Linux these days.

I reiterate my offer to pitch in 100$ for a printers-for-development fund.

Unfortunately, there are some big holes in HP's support as well, most notably a large fraction of the Designjet models.  Basically, large format printing is a serious weak spot in Linux a the moment.
