According to the Linux Printer Compatibility list, the Epson 740 is
listed as "mostly working" which they say means the colors may be off
a bit, and such, but it should print. Have you run the printer setup
util in X? If not you should (sorry, can't recall right off what the
command is.) That should help get it working as best it's going to.
