Hi, I just recently installed SuSE Linux 8.2 and setup up my Epson C80 inkjet printer with yast2 on my network. I am now regularly getting strange printouts that consist of the text of the printout being shifted down the page two and a half inches with as strange "heading?" in the upper left hand corner of the page, that is always the same: 284.4 @EJL As you might imagine this is quite annoying and mysterious as I have no idea what the two rows of numbers and symbols stand for ( 284.4 ) ( @EJL ) This seems to happen like every third of forth print job, and the printouts of the jobs inbetween are fine, But why is this happening?????? Please, if anyone can help me resolve this problem I would be extremely greatful. Here are some details about my setup: First it must be noted that I have set up this Epson C80 printer with SuSE 8.1 using ( on separate ocassions ) both LPring and CUPS and had no problems printing in the past. 1 The printer in question is an Epson stylus C80 and I have it networked with the aid of a router/with printserver, specifically a NetGear Prosafe Firewall/router/printserver ( that is to say the printer is not directly connected to any PC but directly to the router with a parallel cable ) 2. I am using LPD ( filtering and forwarding queue ) SuSE default CUPS, C80 Fomatic+gimprint driver. 3. I have used this setup with SuSE 8.1 before without this problem. Whats going on here? Someone must know the answer to this one. Thanks. -- Remember: Always think positively.
