Thanks, but I solved it. I went to www.cups.org and used their online
driver builder to create Epson_Stylus_800-st800.ppd. I then downloaded
it to /usr/share/cups/model/Epson where all the other Epson drivers
are. DrakeConf still wouldn't see it in the printer setup utility, so
I cp st800.ppd to LQ-850-lq850.ppd (overwriting the original) and then
called it an LQ 850 in the DrakeConf setup. Works!
