[newbie] Epson printer woes

2004-05-16 Thread Angus Auld
Greetings, I am having a bit of difficulty getting 
my Epson StylusColor 480SXU to work on my 
Mdk 9.2 system. I had managed to get it to work 
*OK* with the Turboprint driver (v1.86) previously, but I 
updated to the latest Turboprint driver (v1.87), and I 
can't for the life of me, get it to work with Turboprint. 
Even going back to v1.86 proves unsuccessful.
What am I doing wrong??

I am now trying to get it to work with the CUPS+Gimp-Print 
v4.2.5 setup that Mdk provides, but all I can get from my 
printer for output is a solid black page!! I have used up 
almost half of a newly filled ink tank trying to get a proper 
printout. :-/

Can anyone offer any help, or words of encouragement here?
TIA for your time and patience.

I got the thing working with Turboprint v1.87 :-).

My mistake was in not removing my previous printer 
instance first, before installing and setting up 
Turboprint. [:-)
After I did thatvoila! I need to THINK, THINK, THINK.
