For me it works with my Epson Stylus Color 880, also on USB. I have done a lot of development on the USB CUPS backend, so it is possible that it works for me due to my changes. To test my new backend install CUPS from my PPA. To do so, go to
https://launchpad.net/~till-kamppeter/+archive/ppa and follow the instructions in the "Adding this PPA to your system" section. After that update your system. Make also sure that your printer actually uses the USB backend and not the TPU backend from Turboprint. The maintenance functions of Gutenprint (controlled by the buttons in system-config-printer) probably only work with the USB backend. As a workaround you can also use nozzle check and head cleaning in Turboprint. If my new USB backend does not help, perhaps Gutenprint sends incorrect commands. please test also the "escputil" command line utility. Especially if this utility does also not work but Turboprint works we have probably a problem in Gutenprint. Then it would be great if you could capture the data which Turboprint sends to the printer so that we can give this data to the Gutenprint developers. ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1022268 Title: Cleaning nozzles and printing self-test page for Epson Stylus D68 PE not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1022268/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
