RH and Mandrake usually have patched versions of Ghostscript that work with
GDI printers.
On SuSE i had the hack the everloving hell out of the ghostscript driver to
get it to work, and I had the luxury that the epson shipped with linux
drivers
My advice would be unless it has a ppd file and will work with CUPS avoid it.
