Howdy, folks. I'm wishing, I am, to get an Epson Photo Stylus 1270 working on a USB port. I know the connection is working due to output. However, the output is not what I want. It's garbage.

I created a simple printcap entry by cloning an existing entry and changing the parameters appropriately. However, I am not doing any filtering before the signal goes on the wire to the printer. (It's been a while since I last got this working under FBSD and Linux and I can't remember what I did. In fact, I can't find my notes either which I'm pretty good about keeping.) So,..., when I print from GIMP I would get pages and pages of junk rather than a graphic image. I setup the GIMP to print to appropriate device (Epson Photo Stylus 1270), paper quality, print quality, etc. And viola. Junk. Now I print to file and examine contents. Well, it's sure not Postscript. I send this to the printer directly by copying it to the USB port. Junk. Okay, now I trying sending a plain text file to the device. Nothing. Now I'm wondering if I should be filtering the output before sending it to the printer. You help, of course, if more than appreciated. It's invaluable. Thanks.
