Epson SureColor P5300 support

Post by dpeterc »

Do you plan to develop support for Epson SureColor P5300?

Epson does have a Linux driver, but it is very basic, and and has a very serious bug: it does not respect dpi of the printed picture, and it always scales the image to full paper size. The Epson driver woaib-ax-p5300-ww 1.0.0 from November 2023 and January 2024 does not respect
-o position=top-left
-o ppi=720
-o nofitplot
and other options, which are needed for exact page positioning and 1:1 print size printouts.

I think the ink set is quite similar to SC-P700 SC-P900, which are already supported.

So having TurboPrint support for this printer would be very useful.
