i am trying to get a Epson Stylus Color Photo 870 working. following info on linuxprinting.org i tried the .upp/lpdomatic filters and have encountered an oddity with gs, unless gs is run from X or as root all it does is output:
svgalib: Cannot get I/O permissions. since lprng runs the filters as user daemon gs is quite broken for printing purposes... i was also unable to get magicfilter to work either (and it does not appear to support this exact printer, at least not the versions in debian) i tried installing the svgalib-dummy package but that just makes gs puke a bunch of crap like this: Unrecoverable error: ioerror in .setdevice Operand stack: --nostringval-- Unexpected interpreter error -12. Error object: (f80)op(379:.setdevice)0x10056274 Operand stack at 0x101b5888: 0x101bcef8: 0x13 devc --Gwrx--- 0x01ec 0x10204128 Execution stack at 0x101b58d8: 0x101be860: 0x0f oper --F---e-- 0x0000 0x1003aaf8 = %interp_exit [.....] the system in question is potato with a 2.4.2 kernel (with just modutils, util-linux and nfs-common upgraded to those in sid), gs exhibits the same behaviour under 2.2.18 as well. i must be missing something obvious here but after hours of reading and futile hacking i still haven't found it.. suggestions? -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
