Hi, My wife picked up a new printer on the cheap. It's an Epson and pretty much identical to one on my son's old Fedora system so I am sure it should work. However so far I cannot get CUPS to make it print.
1) I've plugged it in to a USB port. It's visible using usbview. 2) I tried configuring it as a new printer within CUPS. I called it a USB printer and chose USB Printer #1. 3) I picked out the Epson Stylus stuff and CUPS said everythign was cool. 4) When I look at printer status I see that the printer is there. It says the printer is ready to print and its address usb:/dev/usb/lp0. However when I unplug the USB cable and refresh the browser it doesn't show as being not ready. I tried printing a test page. The print job happens and the system says it's completed but no test page comes out. What obvious thing am I missing about this? Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
