Re: [newbie] Printers-Epson
Hiya, back to this topic. 1 Week ago I bought an Epson Stylus C80. According to the www.linuxprinting.org this is a very good buy. So I have it, but I cannot get it to work :-( Whether it's me or what I don't know. I tried so many things, after inserting their driver for the C80, and eventually someone said to me that I had to install the latest gimp-print. I did this but the damage was already done. CUPS seems extremely messed up, and when running printerdrake now it just hangs for about 5 minutes, and finally when I get through to the configure printer screen, things do not work. Has anyone here else (running Mandrake) go a C80, and if so, how did you get it to work? I know it does work, as users running Debian and Redhat have told me, but maybe it's Mandrake (don't think so), or just my CUPS. I tried uninstalling CUPS and deleting all config files created by it, but this didn't help. It just hangs. I am thinking about reinstalling Mandrake, but then at least I should know what to do beforehand. I would appreciate any ideas / info you guys could offer :-) Thanks in advance Ralph Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] Printers-Epson
Dear All, I still have not been able to get any printing going for my Epson Stylus color in LM 8.1. I have decided to get a new printer, probably an Epson. I am looking at so many different ones but if any one of you have a new Epson that works great with LM 8.1 would you let me know? Is there a noticeable difference between the Epson C80 and Epson Photo 780 for color quality especially concerning photos? Is there a difference in text quality and appearance between the two? I want a printer that I can do ink refills myself, also. Any suggestions including a different printer brand is welcome. I do not want to go through what I have been going through again trying to get my printer to work. Thanks for any help. Sincerely, Marcia Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Printers-Epson
Marcia, I have the Epson Stylus Color 880 and am running Mandrake 8.1. The printer is connected to a Windows box, and printing through CUPS, works flawlessly. I also have Mandrake 7.2 installed on this computer and the Epson works equally well also, again on a Windows box printing through CUPS. -- Glenn Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Registered Linux User #175132 Powered by Linux Mandrake 8.1!
