I have a Epson 1280 printer many documents from Sun report that this printer is supported but I can not find a ppd file for the 1280/1270/12anything. I have tried the 8xx and 7xx ppd files but none work the printer properly. I have tried to take the driver from /usr/share/cups/model/C/escp2-1280.ppd.gz and use ppdadm to bring it in but it fails to configure.
Has anyone been able to get a Epson 1280 to print? Confused as I find documents on Sun sites that state: Expanded Printer Support This feature was introduced in the Solaris Express 6/04 release and in the Solaris 9 9/04 release. In this release, modifications have been made to incorporate support for a wide array of printers. This support is accomplished through the use of additional transformation software, raster image processor (RIP), and PostScriptTM Printer Description (PPD) files. These additions provide functionality that enables you to print to printers, such as the Lexmark Optra E312 and Epson Stylus Photo 1280, by using PPD files. Yet I can not get this to work.
