lp printtest.txt did not work. Since posting my last message I downloaded Epson-Stylus_Color-gimp-print-cups.ppd from linuxprinting.org and added a second printer (ep) using this driver. lp -d ep printtest.txt also does not work. I am posting the tops of both ppd files down through LanguageLevel as I now recall that when I first began using this printer a year ago with CUPS installed from the cd I had to set the language level to 1. I just tried editing one of the ppd's to change the language level to 1 and then, after stopping and restarting cupsys, running lp printtest.txt again - still with no success. *PPD-Adobe: "4.3" *% *% For information on using this, and to obtain the required backend *% script, consult http://www.linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html *% *% CUPS-O-MATIC generated this PPD file.
