You may be encountering the issue that I (and others) had with the 600 Color (also helped at least one person with a 740), http://www.flamingspork.com/linux/doc/epson_printers.html I have a script in /etc/init.d (and appropriate run level stuff) to do this on bootup (included below). See the site for other people's experiences.

As far as I can tell, I've got Everything I Could Ever Need(tm) installed (Cups packages, gimp-print drivers, ghostscript, foomatic packages, and possibly more I've forgotten already) but I haven't been able to get it to print properly. It spits out numerous pages of what I assume is PostScript interpreted by a raster printer without proper conversion, but I'm not sure. It prints a couple few lines of random chars and goes to the next page. I haven't let it get beyond about four pages. As far as I can tell, I have my printer settings ok. My device URI is 'serial:/dev/ttyS1?baud=230400' (printer port), with or without '+bits=8 +parity=none+flow=soft', changing bitrates and such doesn't seem to do anything. I've tried native cups driver, gimp-print ppd and foomatic gimp-print/ijs ppd, from both the foomatic install and generated from linuxprinting.org, and the gimp-print/stp driver. I've also tried configuring with Kprint, foomatic-configure, and the Cups web interface, with pretty much the same effect, only very slight variations in output. I've also googled fairly extensively, and no one seems to know anything about using the Stylus Photo 700 on a serial port. Oh, and there aren't any obvious errors in the logs that I could see, either; I do have it logging at debug level (logs readily available if needed). Anyone have tips to go on from here? What do I wack at next? This is driving me nuts and I'd like to make it work. I hate to think about all this wrangling for nothing. :^) And sorry if I missed something obvious. (I really hope I haven't, it's bad enough when it's just obvious. It's worse when you've been racking your brain the whole week and it's obvious. ;) That said, I eagerly await any tiny scrap of information you could possibly dig up that might help. :^) NRH

En réponse à Marc ZYNGIER [EMAIL PROTECTED] Avant tout, merci de ta réponse. Est-ce que tu plaisantes, ou tu es sérieux quand tu ecris que j'ai de la chance. En fait j'ai acheté plusieurs versions de linux, suse powerpc, debian powerpc et m68k, je n'ai abouti à rien. Ma question principale est de savoir si je peux faire tourner un linux sur cette machine, si oui lequel et comment dois-je m'y prendre. Mes recherches sur powerstack n'ont rien donné non plus ! Il n'y a rien d'urgent dans cette affaire, c'est juste dans un but de formation, cependant, j'aimerais bien voir tourner cette machine autrement qu'en AIX V4. Il y a bien dans une FAQ, un lien relatif à linux sur le site de motorola, mais c'est un lien mort. Tous les conseil seront les bienvenus. Thank you for your answer. Are you serious or do you joke when you said I'm lucky ? I bought many release of linux such as suse powerpc, debian powerpc and m68k, and they didn't run. I seek for powerstack in many FAQ, and I found nothing serious. It's not urgent, just for trainning but I would like to see this computer running an other OS than AIX V4 My main question, is : Is there a linux release for this computer and if exists, where can I find it, and hown can i do to install it.

Abologies to Yann since I cc'ed 2 bugs with this, but I think it should be
in
the discussion of both.
While this bug *is* resolved in 1999.08.29-9 for me the prerm script in
1999.08.29-8 (the one that actually broke on my machine) fails, so the new
one
does not get installed. In my case, the solution was to obtain the actual
deb
(should be in /var/cache/apt/archives/console-data_1999.08.29-9_all.deb if
apt
just failed) and dpkg -i --force confnew console-data_1999.08.29-9.deb.
That
made the install succeed. I don't know if there is any way to make this
automatically use the new scripts, but it would help.
Unfortunately this didn't work for me, I still get the same error. I also
have a /proc/hardware not found error by the way. Thanks,
i don't have a /proc/hardware either. what i did is edited
/var/lib/dpkg/info/console-data.config and added my architecture by
hand:
if (($arch eq 'powerpc') || ($arch eq 'm68k')) {
# my $subarch = lc substr (`grep ^Model: /proc/hardware`, 7);
# $subarch =~ s/^macintosh$/mac/;
# $subarch =~ s/^motorola$/mvme/;
# $subarch =~ s/^powermac|powerbook*|power|imac*|powermac1*$/pmac/;
# $arch = $arch/$subarch;
$arch = powerpc/pmac;-- add the corresponding arch
}
this is line 359. not elegant but i finally got console-data
configured. (after making the changes run dpkg --configure
console-data).

Hence you should compile kernels with support for the proc filesystem and make
sure /proc is mounted.

If you want to compile it, install linuxppc (evil redhat based dist). Heck even compiling it is iffy enough. I've only just started trying to get Debian/PPC working locally, so take this with a grain of salt, but from what I gather the lack of binaries for glibc, and the lack of the approriate source to compile it are an oversight rather than a deliberate action. Not so much an oversight as a problem. The libc in that directory is 1.99, and while redhat manages to use it all right, it seems highly unstable with debian-powerpc. So we're using 2.1 prereleases (currently 2.0.94 from alpha.gnu.org is our best shot). what is the status of debian-powerpc anyway ? are there still people working on it ? how many people, is it no more useful to post to it because nobody will reply ? As far as I understand it, the current version of glibc doesn't work on powerpc (or sparc?), and that's making things a touch difficult. :) Oh, we're here all right. The last glibc snapshot had problems on CHRP, but I believe they've been corrected. I'm setting up the dev tools on my machine this week...we'll see.
