Dear all, (Don't know if this is the right list. I had never before problems with printing in Debian. So if I'm wrong here, please give me a hint where this post might fit better).
I would like to use a Epson LQ-300+II, which is a dot matrix printer. I'm running Debian Squeeze. I'll describe in short what steps I've taken to set it up: - configured it trought http://127.0.0.1:631, using the auto search function - printer gets correctly identified - serveral drivers are possible to choose, I've used "Epson 9-Pin Series (en)" and "Epson 24-Pin series (en)" - setting the resolution and the papersize (I'm using continuous paper) - trying to print a testpage gives me "Unsupported format 'application/vnd.cups-banner'!" I've googled around, and found [1] (which is in german). Inside this thread someone gave the hint to put "application/vnd.cups-banner string(0,'#CUPS-BANNER')" into /etc/cups/mime.types, which in Debian is /etc/mime.types, I guess. /var/log/cups/error_log writes: E [05/Sep/2012:21:14:42 +0200] Returning IPP client-error-document-format-not-supported for Print-Job (ipp://localhost:631/printers/EPSON_LQ-300) from localhost dmesg writes: [ 1359.136088] usb 2-4: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usblp while 'usb' sets config #1 I've put lsusb -v for the device on [2]. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
