Epson Inkjet printer driver port

Hi All,

I need some advice here.

I have an Epson Inkjet printer, and using Seiko's own driver got it working with print/cups. I have gone off and put together a port that uses the Seiko ESC/P-R driver version 1.4.5, which at the moment remains unpublished due to the following question:

I was wondering why the Epson inkjet drivers were not already in the ports tree; I would willing to submit and support my own work / port (but not the driver itself!), but am very curious as to why no one else has already done this?

As far as I can tell, Seiko release it with a GPLv2 license, so am not sure what has been holding people back?!

Anybody's wisdom welcome as feedback!!

Kindest regards,

James.
