Hello
I just picked up an Epson Stylus Color 740 to replace my ancient Canon BJ-=
200. Got everything installed and running OK in win98, but it doesn't seem t=
o want to recognize anthing in Linux.
I downloaded a Ghostscript configuration file (stc740p.upp) and installed it =
using the apsfilter SETUP program. (It came with redhat printer db files, bu=
t they aren't of any use to me.) I then hand edited the printcap file to ass=
ign lp, lp-mono, etc. I printed a simple text file and --- nothing. The job=
showed in the queue for a few seconds and then disappeared. Never saw any r=
eaction that indicated the printer ever got any data. =20
=20
The printer is connected through the parallel port /dev/lp0 The bootup messa=
ge shows that lp0 is using parport, and seems to detect the printer on the pa=
rallel port - at least it prints a message properly identifying the printer. =
To see if the port was blocked, I tried catting a small test file directly =
to /dev/lp0 and ....nothing. I reconnected the old Canon printer and tried a=
gain. The file went through OK, so the port is up and alive.
=20
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
ray
