I'm having some trouble setting up an Epson Stylus Color 880 USB printer on my linux system. I've compiled a new 2.4.17 kernel since the 'older' 2.2.x kernels do not have much in the way of USB support without a patch (or so I've heard). Seems to be working fine and my OHCI USB port can detect and talk primitively with the printer (i.e. it shows up in /proc/bus/usb/devices). However I can't print. Tried using LPD and LPRng with magicfilter and apsfilter but I'm not sure which filter specifically is best with the printer. I doubt that is even the problem since I can only get anything printed by using 'cat file.txt > /dev/lp0' when the printer is on the parallel port instead of the USB. I tried a similiar command with the USB and I get nothing. Has anybody installed an Epson USB printer that can give me some suggestions or pointers on what they had to do? Thanks.
