Did you install openSUSE 10.2 anew from scratch or did you update your existing Suse Linux 9.3 system? > PRINTER > > It seems to have recognized the printer - YaST and CUPS have an entry > for it and say "Epson Stylus Photo RX620 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.0 > Simplified". But I can't print anything to it. If I try - e.g. using the > test facilty in YaST - nothing happens at the printer (no flashing > light). CUPS says it is "Printer State: processing, accepting jobs, > published." but also says " stylusphotorx620 (Default Printer) "Printer > not connected; will retry in 30 seconds...". I've tried stopping and > restarting the printer with no effect. What exactly did you do to "stopping and restarting the printer"? Did you use "cupsenable" to restart the printer? What does "lpstat -p stylusphotorx620" show? The "not connected" message indicates that the low-level communication via USB with the printer doesn't work reliable or doesn't work at all, see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell "The Backends" What does "lpinfo -v" show? Is your printer listed by "lsusb"? See http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell "If problems are encountered" how to get debugging information from the cupsd. > SCANNER > > sane says "no devices available".

According to the driver description files all you need is the iscan-free package, the RX620 doesn't need firmware. In the YaST scanner config, it is listed as Epson Stylus Photo RX620: Driver epkowa (package iscan-free)... so that the YaST scanner config should install the iscan-free package, activate the epkowa line in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf and then it should work. If not, see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_Scanners_from_SUSE_LINUX_9.2 "USB Cable Connection and Additional USB Hubs" and "Trouble-Shooting (Debugging)" > I [20/Jun/2007:23:04:14 +0100] Setting y2test device-uri to > "usb://EPSON/Stylus%20Photo%20RX620" (was "file:/dev/null".) ... > I [20/Jun/2007:23:04:15 +0100] Started > filter /usr/lib64/cups/filter/pstops (PID 26161) for job 6. > I [20/Jun/2007:23:04:15 +0100] Started > filter /usr/lib64/cups/filter/pstoraster (PID 26162) for job 6. > I [20/Jun/2007:23:04:15 +0100] Started > filter /usr/lib64/cups/filter/rastertogutenprint.5.0 (PID 26163) > for job 6. > I [20/Jun/2007:23:04:15 +0100] Started > backend /usr/lib64/cups/backend/usb (PID 26164) for job 6. There are no error messages of interest in this log (it looks o.k.). Only with the CUPS debug messages (see above) there is a chance to find out what there is really going on.
