Trying for a duplex printer

I have been scouring all the data I can, to find printers that do duplex
printing (that means doublesided printing).  I found 3 models, but two of them
(the HP C7280 and the Canon PIXMA MX850) have no public drivers I can find.  The
third, which is the Epson RX680, seems to be supported via drivers from Avasys
(http://avasys.jp/hp/menu000000900/hpg000000859.htm) called PIPS drivers, but
while there is are ports for various versions of PIPS in the print dir of ports,
and I can find that the Avasys site lists supporting the RX680, I have two problems:

1) I can't determine which (if any) of the PIPS ports support the RX680, and
2) right now, none of them build because of an error you get about a
   linuxwrapper not handling symbol versioning.

Is there any way to rely on any FreeBSD port to be able to use the RX680 from
Epson?
