Description:
This package contains PPD files for newer Epson Inkjet printers which
are not available in the fully open source epson-inkjet-printer-escpr
driver.

The escpr2 driver relies on a binary blob in the source package, which
has been removed in Fedora. The PPD files have been patched to use the
open source escpr driver, instead.

Although many of the PPD files work with the older, fully open source
driver (e.g. ET-3700 seems to work), it is quite likely that some
don't. This is not a bug in the Fedora package, but a limitation of
the partly closed-source upstream drivers.
