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... # lpstat -l -t scheduler is running system default printer: Epson device for Epson: /dev/printers/0 Epson accepting requests since Sat Aug 09 08:16:07 2008 printer Epson idle. enabled since Sat Aug 09 08:16:07 2008. available.
