Help Epson R800 Printing garbage on lenny amd64 - Costing me a small fortune in ink.



Hello.

I have been using debian for several years now but just recently I have been given a epson r800 printer but when I use it it is very unstable so I thought it was faulty and didnt use it much however my cousin and his wife have just had a new baby so I thought I would try the printer again.  Same results outputs garbage especially photos but also the test page stops half way through.  So I was pretty much about to through it in the bin when I read about ink issues and fixing it so I printed a test band of colour - printed perfectly then I printed a photo and garbage again.  I just tried on my brothers windows machine and I got perfect photo prints.  I am using standard debian software - cups, gutenprint etc.  If somebody on the list can shine some light on this issue i would be most greatful as I am going through ink so fast that my bank manager has been in touch.

Thanks in advance

Dan
