The description sounds like they've put a color managed interface onto something that works like Gimp-Print which access CUPS to drive the printers. I've used much earlier versions of the Birmy RIP to drive an Epson from a System 9 Mac. It worked well and offered some nice features, but the print quality was not as good as the native Epson driver and it was VERY slow. The only reason for using it was a workflow that required a Postscript capable RIP. If you print from something like Photoshop where color management can be handled within the application, Gimp-Print works beautifully... and its free! I've setup several legacy Epson printers to print from Jaguar with little effort. Gimp-print is constantly being updated and color managed versions are in the works.
