[FC5] Epson Stylus C63 (USB)

[M. Lewis]

I'm trying to setup an Epson Sylus C63 (USB interface) for a friend who 
has just started using Linux. I've used CUPS (http://localhost:631). I 
have not used system-config-printer at all.

Everything looks right, I see the printer listed, select what seems to 
be the appropriate drivers, but yet when I try to print a test page, I 
get *nothing*.

Probably something simple I'm missing. I've never setup a USB printer 
before.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

Sounds familiar for one, who has lived with Epson USB - printers.
Check everything having to do with connections including AC-cable. Shut down
everything and start again. And be ready to let  mr. Epson  to  the test
page which is still waiting some were in your computer to be printed.

Thanks Heikki. I see the job go in the queue (on CUPS) and I see it 
disappear from the queue on CUPS.

Hi,
I'm using an Epson DX4800.
I installed gutenprint from the gimpo-print site, because CUPS on fedora
don't work.

For first I noted that on cups printers, you have 2 test page: One is
self-test page (and it doesn't work for me) and the other that is test
page (made by cups and sent to printer).
It work well for me only with gutenprint.

I seggest to chech the web for gutenprint.
Maybe you can only install the PPD from gutenprint instead of install
and compile the wole.

Bye
