Hi David,
Have you updated all the print related packages for 7.2? There was a
problem with the stp driver in the release.
foomatic, ghostscript, printconf, Omni all have updates.
I had the same problem with an Epson Stylus Color 880. I'm not sure how
similar that is to yours, but it also uses the stp driver.
Updating all the print related rpms, and then running the following
commands solved the problem.
delete the printer definition via printconf-gui
rm -rf /var/spool/lpd/*
redefine the printer via printconf-gui
/sbin/service lpd stop
rm -rf /var/cache/foomatic/{pcache,compiled}/*
/usr/sbin/printconf-backend --force-rebuild
/sbin/service lpd start
Printing has worked fine since.
Hope that helps,
- -D
