I have a similar problem with my Espon Stylus Photo 895. I have used for years on Mandrake/Mandriva so I was surprised when Kubuntu did not list it. I use the nearest model, 870 and that at least worked. I then installed ubuntu-desktop and logged into that. The gnome print manager auto detected and intalled the correct driver, but it would not work. The print job would start and then stop on an unknown error. Logging back into KDE was the same. Deleting the driver and putting the 870 back in worked again.
I also tried installing the gutenprint driver and installed using alien, as they recommended for ubuntu. But it is still not shown on the list in KDE print manager. It seems as though the gnome and KDE print systems are not integrated and maybe conflict somewhere. -- [Feisty] KDE Printing Manager does not list the PPDs of Gutenprint https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99372 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
