I'm (now) running
FreeBSD postie 4.10-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE #0: Tue May 25 22:47:12 GMT 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
I got my Epson C66 Photo up and running using CUPS, ESP Ghostscript, and the gimp-print drivers (using C64 since C66 isn't listed explicitly). It all works and I exported it through Samba and printed successfully from a Windows box :-)
Then I found that the Epson KOWA drivers were in the ports - print/pips-sc65_66s - so installed them as they are better drivers, changed the configuration in CUPS as per readme-sc65_66s-cups but the printer wouldn't work.
I deleted the printer and re-added it from scratch but still it won't work. When I click Print Test Page in CUPS the printer head "shuffles" which shows there is some communication with the printer but it just shows "Processing..." for a while then the job appears under Completed Jobs with a status of "aborted".
I've set CUPS to log at debug2 level but that doesn't show anything useful (to me anyway):

The ekpstm program (Status Monitor) shows a "Communication Error" and the pips-sc65_66s program shows "Cannot communicate with a printer" on the Utility tab.
Can anyone offer any help/advice on this please?
BTW, the port appears to be missing a build dependency for autoconf253 - my build stopped part way through as it couldn't find /usr/local/bin/autoconf253.
Thanks.
Regards,
Mark
