Bug#335483: cupsys-driver-gutenprint: EPSON Stylus Color 600 stopped working after switching to Gutenprint

[Andreas Feldner <pelzi@flying-snail.de>]

Package: cupsys-driver-gutenprint
Version: 4.3.99+cvs20050901-1
Severity: important


After the last update, gimpprint was replaced by gutenprint. After that,
the printer is not generating any output. I tested the lpr command line,
the CUPS web interface (print test page), different KDE applications and
Mac OS X mail.app as network client. Creating a new printer entry from
scratch, using the CUPS web interface, does not cure the problem. It
seems that this is not a problem with gs-esp, as it could render a
postscript test page on command line; this same file did not print,
however.

A certain profile generated by the KDE printer administration tool,
shows an interesting effect, as the printer's power LED starts blinking
in result to sending a test page, which is usually a sign of data
arriving. It does not, however, feed paper, nor start printing anything.

I have loads of logs from the CUPS system. Please tell me what
you need.
