Hello Ajay, I had a similar problem with my Epson LQ-300+ printer and 
could not get a free software printer driver that worked all that well 
[I didn't get an answer on this list either :-(   ]. However, if you 
wish to spend a few dollars ESP Print Pro from Easy Software at 
http://www.easysw.com is very good indeed. It comes complete with CUPS 
(in fact Easy Software are the authors of CUPS we use in Linux) and 
installs as an rpm file. Also good support. Extremely flexible printing 
control. I recommend it if you cannot find a 'free' driver.
