It depends on how you set the printer up; you didn't say how you did this. If you do it with lpadmin or through the web interface (http://localhost:631), you can choose the model explicitly. > >If the jobs are getting "stuck" in the queue, then CUPS should > >provide you with a reason why. > > That is what I thought but it was just stuck on 22% > > > You can also set LogLevel to > >debug in cupsd.conf and restart cups to make it log in detail > >the cause of all printing failures.

Does this file exist? dpkg -S /usr/share/cups/charsets/utf-8 cups-common: /usr/share/cups/charsets/utf-8 Is the cups-common package installed? If you have installed cups, it should be installed as a dependency (apt-cache rdepends cups-common). > E [05/Apr/2009:16:10:23 +1000] [Job 43] Job stopped due to filter errors. > E [05/Apr/2009:16:10:23 +1000] PID 11236 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel) > crashed on signal 9!

I essentailly copied > stp-escp2-of-tx300f.5.2.ppd to /etc/cups/ppd/epson.ppd Where did you find this file "stp-escp2-of-tx300f.5.2.ppd"? The PPD file should have been automatically generated when the queue was set up. The PPD file must exactly match the installed version of Gutenprint. If you haven't already, browse to "http://localhost:631"; and add a printer there (you might need to add yourself to the lpadmin group to use it). This will ensure you use the typical installation process and get a valid configuration. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
