While I have no experience with the Pro, I do have quite a bit with the Epson 
Stylus Color.  I have hung out on the Epson forum on compuserve for quite 
awhile and have heard of many complaints from OS/2 users of the Epson Pro.  
Some complaints include bad print quality like lines or bad color using the 
latest omni print driver.  Note that Epson America does not make a OS/2 print 
driver for any of their ESC line of printers and will probably not make one. 
I have heard some rumors that Epson Germany has produced a beta level ESC 
printer driver that runs under OS/2.
The omni driver gives me quite good print quality with my regular ESC.  I 
have been able to get rid of a few windows programs since the new omni driver 
seems to provide the same level of quality on most print jobs.
