Hi All,
Yet again I'll be very grateful for any help you can give me.....
I just upgraded to F13 on my 2 systems & on both of them, I seem to be unable to print. The 2 machines are a) my desktop uname -ar Linux Fedora-Blue 2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686.PAE #1 SMP Tue Oct 19 04:24:06 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux which was fresh-installed because preupgrade wouldn't reboot(Grrrr)
and b) my laptop which was preupgraded.
The printer is an Epson Stylus DX6050 which "always" worked before....
Strange thing is that under previous Fedoras, I had to fight to get the scanner recognised, this time, the scanner is recognised & working, but I can't get any of the print commands to offer me anything but a "write .pdf to file".
Can anyone suggest what I've forgotten to check?????????
As ever, great thanks for any suggestions!
Dave

Sounds like you don't have a queue set up for the printer. Did you look at System->Administration->Printing?

Thanks Tim,
Seems like the system is getting soooo slow!
I'd been through the KDE menus several times before & there was no icon for the Epson printer - now there was one, but it couldn't find a driver. Seems like the system detects an Epson DX6000, but then doesn't know what to do with it.... I've set it up with the DX4850 driver & it now seems OK. Maybe one day(!) someone will make an upgraded driver available!
Thanks for you help
Dave
