Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cups
Fresh Ubuntu 10.10 installation
1) Connect Epson PM-A820
2) Ubuntu says it cannot find the correct driver, and proposes to choose it
manually
3) In the list of printers, there is Epson PM-A820, I select it
4) After tests, this driver works without any problem !
So this bug report is to ask for simplify the process for beginners: Steps 2
and 3 are lost of time.
As the driver exists and is ok, system-config-printer should automatically
select it.
Hope this helps :)
