Hi folks I hope you can help me. I an trying to get my Epson printer to work with Linux and am getting nowhere too quickly! The story so far: I just bought an Epson Stylus Color 740 printer today after checking with the SuSE Hardware Database that is would work with Linux. I downloaded the latest version of Ghost Script (v 5.50) from the SuSE FTP site. I also downloaded the newest apsfilter from the FTP site as well. I proceeded to install the following rpms using YaST; aps-1.5.SuSE-0.i386.rpm gs_both-5.50-0.i386.rpm gs_fonts-5.50-0.i386.rpm gs_lib-5.50-0.i386.rpm I also printed out the SuSE Support Database Document "Printer Check List" (vai Winedoz98) and set about installing my printer. The steps carried out are as follows; I started by logging in as SU and then by running '/usr/lib/apsfilter/SETUP' and I installed the uniprint driver as follows; 1) Which Device Interface : PARALLEL and '/dev/lp1' 2) Which Printer Driver : FREEDEF, YOUR, 'uniprint', '720' 3) Which Paper Type : a4 4) Monochrom/Colorfull : COLOR 5) Settings For You Printer: I left it at default values. 6) Add the printer definition. The resultant output is as follows; Printer entry: ### uniprint a4 color 720 ### ascii|lp1|uniprint-a4-ascii-mono-720|uniprint a4 ascii mono 720 lp|lp2|uniprint-a4-auto-color-720|uniprint a4 auto color 720 lp-mono|lp3|uniprint-a4-auto-mono-720|uniprint a4 auto mono 720 raw|lp4|uniprint-a4-raw|uniprint a4 raw After exiting the SETUP program, the next thing I did was at the command prompt typed; cat StartLog > /dev/lp1 This caused the file to be printed but the page was not ejected. I had to manually do that. The resultant output was that of a portrait print out of the file. I next exited out of SU and tried printing a test text doc by using the print function within TkDesk to print out a one line text file. This worked file except that the file was printed out in landscape, two pages to a sheet. I next tried to print a 448 byte file. This too was a text document but the print speed was appallingly slow!! I next went back to being a SU and tried to print it from there as follows; cat test_doc.txt > /dev/lp1 The printer made some gurgling noises and the power light is flashing but no paper has been sucked in nor it is printing. I am at my wits end on how to solve this problem. I would greatly appricate any and all help on this matter.
