[newbie] Printing with CUPS

GReetings crew! I have the misfortune of having a Windoz style multi-purpose device (actually, it's not that bad), the HP PSC750XI. It is connected by USB directly to the PC, and was discovered and configured (what seemed to be) correctly during a recent Mdk8.1 installation- but doesn't

Dear All, I finally have my Epson Stylus Color printing now that I added xpp, however the quality is horrrible. The colors are fine but the BW has banding through the letters. I have it configured with the cups+gimp print at adaptive hybrid, 360 dpi, and photograph. I tried 720 but that did

Thanks for your input Sean. I have an Epson 777, that I read is essentially the same as a 680, and had used 680, 760 860 drivers in past with success (before the addtion of 777). The 777 and others were real bad, while the 680 were only little better. I had never had to play around with

Marcia; I've read about your problem, and I'd like to offer the following suggestions: 1) Go to the ftp site below, and download ALL the files to a separate folder, then run the software updater in Mandrake control Center. It's a fast site, and usually not busy.

Marcia, Is that an ink jet printer? Did you have it out of service very long while you upgraded from 7.2 to 8.0? Is there any chance a cartridge has clogged up? Do you have another computer that you can use to test the printer? Just some things to check. Randy Kramer Marcia Waller wrote:

Hi Marcia, I had the same problem with my Epson Stylus Color 600 printer producing severely banded text output when I upgraded to LM8 from LM7.2. Moreover, there were also very long and painful pauses during the printing process - which were absent in LM7.2. I also use the CUPS+GIMP driver.

Does anyone have the problem of not being able to change the margins on letter size paper? I have tried changing in inches or centimeters, saving, and then print immediately, and there does not appear to be any change. Does cups only recognize root for these changes? Something don't work.
