Hi Matt, I recently just setup my epson 1520. I'd imagine from what I read that they're fairly similar. I tried using magicfilter, and ran into similar problems. I wound up using apsfilter. Setting up the printer was easy. I wound up with several printer defs. ascii, so I can print from mutt and the console (lpr -P ascii), a couple stcolor printer defs for printing in color, and a raw def that I'm using for the windows machines to print on (samba). It works great, I love this printer. qualification: it was easy after I figured out that the reason the test page printed errors was because I needed to install gsfonts. If you dont install the gsfonts package, printing postscript files wont work. Netscape prints out in ps format. So install gsfonts, grab apsfilter and setup your printer. -- Mental "When in doubt, use brute force." --Ken Thompson (author of unix) PGP 2.6.3a Public Key: http://www.neverlight.com/Mental-PublicKey.pgp GPG 1.0.1 Public Key: http://www.neverlight.com/mental-gpg.asc
