This is weird...
I've setup my USB Epson R800 printer, well actually HAL did it very nicely,
detecting the printer, loading the correct PPD and setting up the queue. When I
turn the printer on and off, the notification window correctly pops up to tell
me its online.
However, there is no output. Infact, if I do
# cat /LICENSE >/dev/printers/0
I get nothing,,zero,,zilch. Cannot understand. Any ideas? Tried a few times but
no output.
I'm using the stp-escp2-r800.5.2.ppd.gz PPD file which is correct for my
printer.
I also tried the uri filter instead of standard_foomatic, but with no
difference!
Any ideas please? I have tried, honest!!
I've posted some useful debug info...
