How do I set it up with Linux, UNIX and Ghostscript?

Linux and other other UNIX flavors do not have “printer drivers” as other operating system do. Instead, most UNIX programs send data to your printer using a standard language called Postscript. I’ll spare the explanations on what Postscript is, except that it comes either built-in or as an (expensive) option on laser printers. The HJ-400 does not support Postscript. There is a Postscript interpreter named Ghostscript that lets you print Postscript documents on standard printers. It translates the Postscript language in a printable format for your printer. Although this interpreter originated on UNIX systems, there are ports of Ghostscript to many other operating systems, including Win32 systems. If you’re interested in one of these ports, you can get one here. There are no Ghostscript drivers for the HJ-400 and since it’s not a really popular model, I strongly believe there will never be any. Therefore, you need to use the standard 24-pin Epson driver that support a 360×180 resolution.
