Just some additional info for you.

I downloaded the driver for the CX6600 from www.epkowa.co.jp and there is no
mention of charges for its use. The README file gives all the information
on setup and installation. I downloaded the SuSE version. I also said it
was for home use. There maybe a charge if you use it commercially.
