To Carlos, et al: In looking at my manual, which I only have on disk, I can find NOTHING to make Suse and my printer to work together in any fashion. It mentions a Windows and an Apple Mac driver, but it does NOT give any information on what emulators or substitutes will work with it.
It should be listed on the DOS section. New printers do not have manuals, mine is older.
I have already tried the BJC-600 substitute, to no avail.
Try the generic epson 24 pin, esc/p type. Just a wild guess. Mind: choose a resolution that your printer really has, or you'll get gibberish. Browse to 'http://localhost:631/' to configure it.
I have been led to believe that there is a gimp driver that will make it work, but even finding the driver does no good, as there are no installations instructions worth mentioning. I am not a programmer, nor can I mindread software, and need to know what to do to get it installed. I am not going to upgrade to SuSe anything, and don't use the excuse that SuSe cannot make a driver: Mandrake can and does!! >: o
As to that, other people have answered what I would have said. Neither Mandrake nor SuSE make drivers: they both just package what other people develop, for free. That kind of remark on this list will not incline people to help. I'm not a SuSE employee, I'm just writing on my spare time to help others. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
