Hi Cia, and thanks for your mail, Actually, a bugreport would give you the bonus of having a clearly defined way of tracking your issue down. Let's answer nevertheless. > I thought I'd start here.

Let's try to solve this step-by-step. If you have the c2esp package correctly installed, you should have the /usr/lib/cups/filter/c2esp file and thus, you would not have the above error. > I installed the printer in a browser using the localhost:631 address, and > in the area to select printer file or browse for a ppd it actually shows > the option 'Kodak ESP 5200 (en)' listed twice.

And my firewall was not enabled. You shouldn't need to point CUPS to specific PPDs. Since its 18-2 version, c2esp ships its "PPD" files into the /usr/lib/cups/driver/c2esp file, which CUPS knows and uses. Then simply using the cups webinterface should setup you printer correctly, with c2esp. Cheers, OdyX -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
