Epson USA has also just posted the new firmware with a few extra details:

This update improves Auto Ink Detection (AID) functionality and corrects possible issues with the printer locking up when cancelling a print job.

Epson Australia has a new driver: 6.70. As usual, no release notes whatsoever...

The new driver adds a 'Layout Manager' feature (or at least it's the first time I noticed it). It seems to allow the driver to manage the layout of multiple jobs.

The new driver is Windows only and adds Layout Manager as you mentioned, plus adds a new paper size "SuperW A3 329 x 559 mm" and corrects a possible Win7 / nVidia graphics bug during print preview.

Epson USA (http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid=119097&prodoid=63079721&infoType=Downloads&platform=All) has posted a new firmware for the 7900/9900 on 05-JAN-11.

Versions:
 •Printer: HN029AA
 •Network: 2.10
 
Improvements:
 •This update adds WSD functionality to the network setup on the printer's control panel.

I think WSD stands for 'Web Services for Devices'. Does anyone know how to make use of it?
