I am running RH7.1, and everything seems to be working fine, except I cannot get my printer to work! It is an Epson 777, and it is USB (it also has a parallel port, but I don't want to use that because my ZIP drive is parallel port, and I want to try and get that to work, that's my NEXT post ;-)
Anyway, all the documentation for Red Hat seems to want folks to use the printconf-gui program, (it auto-generates the printconf file each time it is run, so they say). The printer came with a USB cable, but no parallel cable. The motherboard is an ABIT; there is 256 MB of RAM, 2 6-gig hDD's, PII, the parallel ZIP drive, and there are 3 PCI cards (video, audio and ethernet). I've read all kinds of documentation about printing; I even have the "Running Linux" book. However, I don't understand why it won't work? Local Printer EPSON777 /dev/lp0 Driver: Stylus Color 777 (these are the values from the printconf-gui program). I also have a second "printer" set up, using the same driver, on /dev/usb/lp0 since I thought this would work. In printconf-gui, for a local printer you can only specify /dev/lp0. I just realized that I don't know how I got the program to recognize /dev/usb/lp0! nevertheless, it does not work. It won't print a test page, or anything. Also, none of the idea in the "Running linux" book worked, either. Any ideas?
