For special drivers go to http://www.linuxprinting.org where you can download the respective ppd files.
Thanks. I'm still a bit confused by all of this. I went to the above and managed to get to this page http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Epson-Stylus_C82 yet, it recommends the gimp-print driver. I go to http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=gimp-print and I can get what I guess is the gimp-print driver for C82 but then it mentions a bunch of other stuff that is confusing for a newbie: "This page provides data for the GhostScript ("stp") driver of the GIMP-Print 4.2.x series, if you are using the IJS driver of the GIMP-Print 4.2.x series, go to the "gimp-print-ijs" page, and if you are using GIMP-Print 4.0.x, go to the "stp" page." I have no idea what I'm using. I haven't installed any gimp-print that I'm aware of, other than just Gimp (which Patrick mentioned to me should have the latest gimp-print). But I'm still confused since all I know that I've selected was the C80 printer option under YaST when setting up my printer. Am I supposed to install gimp-print as well? and if so will that now show up as an option under YaST for my printer to select from? I must admit this is much more difficult than just popping in a windows CD that comes with my printer and following the prompts. I'll keep working to understand all this though. -- Rick
