That said, I have to admit to having an intractable problem with my printer setup -- the same one that prompted my original post on this thread. I think it must be a filter problem rather than a cups one. Having "solved" it a couple of weeks ago, it has just returned and I can find no way to solve it. Once again the printer is printing pages of garbage -- in fact i think they are the raster data that should be being interpreted as graphics. There are no error messages even at LogLevel debug2. I am now looking for an alternative set of packages to replace cups and gimp-print, as many hours of effort have revealed nothing useful and I cannot print anything at all. Can anyone suggest a more reliable choice of packages?. I need at least to be able to connect an Epson C62 as a local printer on /dev/lp0 to a sarge box. I am prepared to give up on network access if necessary, just to be able to get hard copy again. FWIW escputil has also become erratic, only succeeding in connecting sometimes, though I cannot see how that can be from the same cause. [I have already posted this question 6 or 8 hours ago in a new thread, but it has not appeared on the list, so apologies if this finishes up double posted.]
Have you checked out this page? http://linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Epson-Stylus_C62 According to the page, your printer should work perfectly with the gimp-print driver. -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~sanchezr
