I updated Ubuntu with the latest unofficial patch on Till Kamppeter's site, and now it's 'kind of' working again, at least I get to print a test page... But I had to remove the printer, and install it again manually, because the autoinstaller could'nt find a valid model name. Here is my syslog from that session:
First, I deleted the printer, then powered it off, and then on. And here the log begins: Mar 25 21:06:51 bob kernel: [ 9120.924020] usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 Mar 25 21:06:51 bob kernel: [ 9121.059221] usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Mar 25 21:06:51 bob kernel: [ 9121.059686] scsi7 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Mar 25 21:06:51 bob kernel: [ 9121.059844] usb-storage: device found at 5 Mar 25 21:06:51 bob kernel: [ 9121.059846] usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning Mar 25 21:06:51 bob hal_lpadmin: Running hal_lpadmin Mar 25 21:06:52 bob hal_lpadmin: hal_lpadmin triggered by low-level USB device Mar 25 21:06:52 bob hal_lpadmin: Polling device ID from the printer ...

Anyway, I tried the same procedure yesterday, and was still unable to print a test page (gs segfault again), so something must have been fixed in the unofficial beta code. --Robert -- gs segfault trying to print test page on Epson printer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348006 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
