To answer Tyler - yes it is that easy although there have been instances
with people using QTR, for example, where there is a clash.  I think this is
resolved if you add/define the Epson printer first.

To answer Lara - I would delete the Gimp drivers unless as a last resort.
You never know when you might need them and if they aren't a problem then
why mess with them.

You can clearly see in the Printer List which printer is using what driver.
