Hi Linus, I have the same problem. The instal actually detected my printer and printed a test page, but haven't worked since.
I tried deleting the printer, but then I couldn't get printerdrake to work. Any help I can get on how to properly add and configure my printer is appreciated. I have an Epson Stylus Color 740 connected to the USB port.
