| The Epson Stylus Color 800 is similar to the other Epson InkJet printers that were sold like crazy in 1999 and 2000:
Epson 400
Epson 600
Epson 800
Epson 1440
They all do 1440x720 dpi color, on all different paper stocks.
The better ones just do it faster. They can't do ps by default, and
they are Windows printers basically. So we need to use gs to format
the print job with the proper ESC/P2 sequences to activate the options
we see in the windows printer properties page.
The Epson Stylus Color line of printers is supported in gs by the
uniprint driver. You can learn how to compile gs7.xx in Section 8.12,
Alladin Ghostscript. You can see what printer drivers are compiled
into your gs by using the command:
gs -h
You can read up on this topic in the gs-7.xx source docs:

That's a really important file.
There's a upp file for any Epson Stylus 800, high-res, 720x720,
called:
stc800p.upp
Here's the command I'd use to create a printable version of tiger.ps,
gs @stc800p.upp -sOutputFile=/var/tmp/printout tiger.ps -c quit
