" Many Epson printers (the 740 does not) need a special set of characters sent to the printer for it to use the USB interface. You can do this using a uniprint - stcany.upp - ghostscript combination, by inserting an extra initialisation string in the -dupBeginPageCommand part of stcany.upp. The string is
00 00 00 1b01 40 45 4a 4c 20 31 32 38 34 2e 34 0a 40 45 4a 4c 20 20 20 20 20 0a" I'm not sure if I've implimented this correctly. I use the stp driver, and what I've done is created an stp.upp file (attached). In the foo file for the spool, I added "@stp.upp" to the ghostscript command. However, my printer still does not print. The workaround I am currently using is to print something (a single pixel, usually) with gimp. After I've printed something with gimp, I can print with any other app. I suspect that the gimp driver knows how to send the string, and once it has been sent the printer is in the correct mode. The question is, why does my current scheme not work? gs seems to be using stp.upp, but it doesn't work right. I created my stp.upp from stcany.upp, and edited out the parts that didn't seem to apply.
