Help... can I use this printer with YDL 2.2?

[KJC]

I have to say that I've just followed the YDL Cups howto and
installed Cups into YDL2.2 on my powerbook.For the first time 
ever(long time...)
I'm able to use my Epson Stylus Photo 750 printer with Linux.In my case it
really worked.One thing,I didn't compile cups with the gimp-print
drivers and I'm finding that 'office'(kword etc) won't print.
Do you think that could be the reason? Other than that my printer
responds in most other apps.
