I have a new Epson Stylus D88 and a clean Kubuntu 6.06 install and I got the same problem.
I did the cleanupdrivers trick. What does it do? It says something like: PM760pl.upp.xml has an empty command line, deleted! PM820pl.upp.xml has an empty command line, deleted! Stc680pl.upp.xml has an empty command line, deleted! ... the list goes on and on Before that I tried to list the drivers in terminal but it didn't work (can't remember the output). After the trick it works fine. In the end, the recommended driver doesn't exist anymore. A not- recommended CUPS driver works but psbook-rotated text looks awful. Gutenprint-ijs driver seems to work fine, but its printer options are not as polished. -- Can't add a printer in KDE: parser error? https://launchpad.net/bugs/42965 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
