jas,
I had the same problem with my Epson sc600 and Steve Philp helped me by
suggesting I amend printcap to change the lp0:\ line to read: lp|
lp0:\ . That worked but I then found when installing M6.1 0n my son's
IBM laptop (he has an sc600 as well) that simply not adding the 0 to lp
during install provided a fix. I think there is a setup error that says
a printer is detected at lp0 but then looks for it at lp. But then I am
an absolute newbie so take that with a grain of salt.
Good luck.
