Dear Linux developer, |
18 |
|
19 |
I would like to inform you that EPSON has taken great strides to work with |
20 |
the Linux community to improve the availability of high quality Linux |
21 |
printing solutions. Currently there are several different drivers available |
22 |
that will enable printing on a full line of EPSON printers. Links to these |
23 |
drivers can be found at www.epsondevelopers.com. We encourage you to include |
24 |
one of these solutions within your distribution packages to enable high |
25 |
quality printing. EPSON also has embedded Linux printing solutions that can |
26 |
be made available to you. |
27 |
|
28 |
If you would like to learn more about the solutions and would like to have a |
29 |
working relationship directly with EPSON to ensure the best available |
30 |
support please complete the attached ISV application form to become an EPSON |
31 |
developer. By becoming an EPSON developer we will provide you with the |
32 |
necessary development tools for your printing efforts. |
33 |
|
34 |
Thanks and best regards, |
