Dear All, I am sending this again since I sent it hours ago and it never showed up on the list it seems. My Epson Stylus color printer does not work at all now. I installed the new cups , I did a test page which printed but had alot of bands with the black & white print. I was able to finally use the calibration for Epson but I cannot print anything other than test pages and calibrations pages.When I try to print from any application it just eternally runs through paper not printing at all. When I tried to cancel through the terminal, it will not cancel my jobs. I looked into my files and there is the cups 1.1.7 installed but there is an alternative file with a file for lpc, lp, lpr, etc. I checked the /etc/printcap file and it has" lp: "and nothing else. Does anyone have any ideas? I had great printing in 7 and 7.2 and do have it with my WIN98 on my laptop. I am really confused about this. Thanks for any help.
