hi;
I just bought the Epson Stylus 880, which's been suggested in www.linuxprinting.org/suggested.html and it doesn't print a legible text or images. It's like the ink isn't dark enough to show printouts. I used ghostscript and lprold with no cups. I also tried different resolutions to no avail. No where in the system shows the name or the model of this printer even when I load lp modules. I used to see all before. I think I'm missing something in my SuSE 7.1 so what should I do, please. I even searched Epson site and the whole net. Nothing is even close to what I used to have with the old printer that I hated.
thanks in advance
I would suggest using cups with the printer. I have been using cups with a Tektronix printer (not supported under linux printing) and have had no problems with b/w or color. I believe the 880 is supported under cups. Nevada
