=2E...Try it and see?   Start with the P800 and go from there.

The main differences are a new ink set and support for a higher=20
resolution mode.

If that appears to mostly work, then you'll need to create a set of XML=20
data files for the inkset and underlying model, this commit (for the=20
SL-D700) shows what's needed:

That said, Epson claims this model supports AirPrint (ie Driverless/IPP=20
Everywhere) so that will probably yield much better results than=20
Gutenprint in the short-to-medium term. =20

Longer term, Gutenprint's output will get better, but that requires you=20
to be willing to go through the effort and expense (ie ink+paper) of=20
carefully tuning all the knobs.
