Hi, all:
I have a EPSON Stylus C20SX printer and want to install on a gentoo box.
The follow is what i have done:
I follow the introdution in gentoo forum:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-82685-highlight-epson+stylus+c62.html
1. Uninstall all the packages printing related.
# emerge -C cups formatic formatic-db postscript psutils
2. Reinstall all packages printing related and gimp-print
# USE="cups ppds" emerge gimp-print
3. Start the cups daemon
# /etc/init.d/cups start
4. Configure the printer via http://localhost:631
Add printer-->Device(Parallel Port#1
(EPSON))-->MAKE(EPSON)-->Model(EPSON Stylus C20SX-CUPS + Gimp-Print
v4.2.6(en))-->Done
5. Try to print some meterial such as the test page. Then i found it will
take a long time to stay in the follow status:
Printer State: processing, accepting jobs.
"Starting ESP Ghostscript 7.07.1..."
Device URI: epson:/dev/lp0
After several seconds. the processing would continue. But it would stop in
another status again:
Printer State: processing, accepting jobs.
"Printing page 0, 13%"
Device URI: epson:/dev/lp0
Then it will never go on processing any more.
There is another printer(HP laserjet 3015) in the same machine. And it works
smoothly without any problems. So i think the cups daemon is configured
correctly.
I am a newbie with linux printing system. I am not clearly about that.
My OS:
Gentoo Linux
Cups cups-1.1.21_rc2
ghostscript 7.07.1
gimp-print gimp-print-4.2.6
Thanks in advance.
