I use the Epson Style Color 600 with gs 5.00 and the uniprint driver.
Beware, at least in this version the color transfer tables for cyan
and magenta in the stc600*.upp files are exchanged.  The printout is a
little bit too dark, if someone has a solution for this please drop me
a note.

These printers aren't listed as either compatible

The HP uses HP PCL level 3 language.
The Epson uses ESC/P2 language.

Thanks for your help!

Heh, I'm about to buy a printer too. Those are the same two I'm
considering. The Epson 800 isn't enough of an improvement to warrant an
extra $190 Canadian. I'll probably go with the Epson as I want to be able
to do at least 600x600 in color (HP 694C can only do 600x300 color).

Basically, the way printing works on non-postscript printers is you
use ghostscript to interpret the postscript and convert it into something
your printer can understand. Ghostscript knows both PCL 3 and ESC/P2.

I haven't figured out from the docs whether support for a language
means that all printers that use that language are supported.
I'm sure it means that you can get at least some functionality, but are
there other issues involved that may affect quality or what features
you can access?

One thing I read is that HP has better blacks than other brands. These
new Epsons are using new inks and I'm wondering whether there is any
improvement. I'm going to do some output comparison tomorrow.
As with computers, it's tempting to put off buying a new printer as
tomorrow's technology is so promising.

I'm using the EPSON Stylus COLOR 500 here happily.  :)

Ghostscript 5.03 comes with uniprint (?), the unified printer driver.
It supports EPSON Stylus COLOR 500, 600 and 800 very well.  :)

The Ghostscript printer compatibility web page recommends the cdj550
driver for the 694c and has some suggestions and further links for Epson
Stylus printers:
