Yes, I have their SC-P800 A2 printer, and I'm still having trouble to 
get it work, tried with gutenprint so far but only gets a cryptic
error code 0x1A36. The handling is really really subpar compared to
my usual postscript printers.

If you have any advice to get it working I'd be glad.

My only intent with it is posters, photos, covers, and large sheets of
music for organ works and such where you don't have a hand handy to
turn the page.
