Can you uninstall the package cupsys-driver-gutenprint via the command sudo dpkg -r --force-depends cupsys-driver-gutenprint
and then do sudo apt-get install lsb wget http://openprinting.org/download/printdriver/RPMS/i486/gutenprint-5.0.0.99.1-2lsb3.1.i486.rpm sudo alien --scrpts gutenprint-5.0.0.99.1-2lsb3.1.i486.rpm sudo dpkg -i gutenprint_5.0.0.99.1-3_i386.deb Then you will have the OpenPrinting version of Gutenprint (distribution- independent driver package). This one has PPD URLs which end in .ppd.gz: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lpinfo -m | grep -i "Epson Stylus DX3850" gutenprint/Epson/Epson-Stylus_DX3850-gutenprint.5.0-en.ppd.gz Epson Stylus DX3850 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.0.99.1 gutenprint/Epson/Epson-Stylus_DX3850-gutenprint.5.0.sim-en.ppd.gz Epson Stylus DX3850 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.0.99.1 Simplified [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Try to start the KDE Printing Manager now and see whether the PPDs/printer entries appear now. If this is the case there is really a bug in the KDE Printing Manager. This should be reported upstream to both KDE (for a fix) and Gutenprint (for a workaround). ** Changed in: gutenprint (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- Driver for Epson Stylus printers not found in Kubuntu Feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99372 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for kdebase in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
