Hi Randy,
You got the Epson 740 also, haven't you? I've attached a post
script which I can reproduce the error with if I only put in a single
page. You need to wait about 20 seconds before the errors appear. If you
then put a page in and tell the printer that on the front panel it prints
what was in its buffer and then just sits there waiting for more data.
I use the Epson Stylus Color (UP) driver (aka stcany) which is
360x360. I've not tried the newer version of gs yet and the new driver
mentioned on the list. I only expect that would make a different to the
file size actually sent to the printer though.
I just started looking through the code in the printer and it does
seem to have support for out of page (line ~140). I changed the info about
this to an err and I didn't see it, although the function it is in is what
starts the error message I do see (error -2 writing to printer). It looks
like the printer is not setting any error codes. I changed the line the
error message is coming from to;
if (!(retval = usblp_check_status(usblp))) {
err("usblp%d: error %d writing to printer (retval = %d)",
usblp->minor, usblp->writeurb.status,
retval );
return -EIO;
}
and now I get;
printer.c: usblp0: error -2 writing to printer (retval = 0)
regards,
Stephen.
