Anyway, I've bought an RX620 so I'll no doubt be back to ask for help and/or let you all know that it worked :)
I thought I'd give an update of what I've found so far:
I've tried again today to make it work but have made no progress.
The basic situation is that both Yast and CUPS claim the printer is configured and I can print raw text to it (cat some-file > /dev/usb/lp0) but when I try to print from an application or use Yast or CUPS test print they all think the print has finished but the printer does nothing.
I won't repeat all the info from my post yesterday but if anybody has any suggestions on how to debug CUPS/USB printers/Epson printers I'd really appreciate any hints.
Thanks, Dave
At the risk of putting my neck on the chopping block...I seem to recall some problems with this some time back, not necessarily with this printer. Seems there was a problem with having both lp and CUPS running at the same time, and isn't there a message at install about not having both lprng and CUPS running at once?, that only one will run? Perhaps someone with more knowledge of this possible "conflict" can clear this up. Richard
