greets. a couple of thorny printer issues here. first is an epson stylus photo 780, which seemed to set up uneventfully using yast2 and cups. prints test pages fine, even at 720x1440 (there being no driver supporting its 2880x720 mode). i was even able to save the configuration. but when printing photos in high-res from the gimp, the first half of the page prints and then -- it stops. this is troubling and expensive -- this photo paper is a buck a pop! anyone encounter/solve this? there is no exact driver, but the stylus photo 750 driver in cups is said to work. linuxprinting.org says that this printer works perfectly under linux, but provides no details as to how to bring it about. the support database says nothing on the subject that i can find. and of course epson officially has never heard of linux. second issue: i'm trying to make use of my laserjet III-D as a network printer via its jet direct card. h-p has its administrative software for download (and i've downloaded it) but it's said to be for rh-5.2/suse-6.4, and i'm by no means certain it's gonna work with 7.2, which is what i'm running. printer and jet direct card are old, as in 10 years old. anyone experienced in this stuff? thanks! -- dep one day, you'll wish it was now. your wish has been granted. don't waste it.
