If anyone can help resolve this problem I would appreciate the help.
Background: The Epson Stylus Color 860 printer was working perfectly with a purchased version of CUPS installed on a Debian Woody system with a 2.4.18 kernel. It is attached to a USB port. At that time I was using Gnome.
Two changes took place. First, I switched to Testing and a 2.4.20 kernel trying to get an Actiontec Wireless USB Adapter to work - I have never succeded. Second, I switched to KDE 2.2.25 to be consistant with the other users in the family. To get the printer to work with KDE installed the Debian cupsys, cupsomatic, gimp, gimp1.2-print and escputil packages.
Current Status: lp testtext prints nothing, generates the attached error_log segment.
escputil -s -u -r /dev/usblp0 returns the printer status information.
A print test from either localhost:631 ir kde prints a color octogon in the
upper left corner and two large L-shaped bars (backward L's).
Gimp prints a nice picture.
Note: I usually try to respond from mutt to attach the message to the relavant string. With vi I have worked out how to open two files and cut and paste between them but I haven't figured out how to paste or attach a file to a response being generated by mutt. If there is a way to do this, I would appreciate hearing about it.
