CUPS & Epson - Prints Blanks!

[Andy Saxena <andyML@nyc.rr.com>]

Hi,

This one's proving to be a real head-scratcher for me. I got my Epson
Stylus Color 740 configured with CUPS, choosing the "Epson Stylus Color
740, CUPS+GIMP-print v4.2.2-pre2(en)" driver from the CUPS
configuration. However, when I go to print a test page, I can see the
printing head moving back and forth as if it is printing something, only
it isn't! The page comes out with a few streaks of yellow.

The printer is connected via /dev/usb/lp0 and I know it works, because I
can do
$ cat ~/.bashrc > /dev/usb/lp0
and it prints out just fine.

Googling around with keywords like "CUPS Epson Blank Pages" has revealed
nothing.

Could a kind soul help out a Linux desktop user? :-}

Thanks,
Andy
