For general information about printing from linux try <http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting>, and in particular the openprinting database linked from there <http://www.openprinting.org/printers/> this covers a huge range of printers. There is also a discussion forum that covers these and other printers. That said I did not find the exact model described above. >From the database one of the closest was the Epson Stylus CX5100: >------------------------------------------------------------------- Epson Stylus CX5100 Color inkjet printer, max. 2880x1440 dpi, works Mostly Recommended Driver: gutenprint (Home page, Driver packages: x86 32 bit: 5.0.1 (RPM for LSB 3.1), 5.0.1 (DEB for LSB 3.1), 5.2.5 (RPM for LSB 3.2), 5.2.5 (DEB for LSB 3.2), x86 64 bit: 5.0.1 (RPM for LSB 3.1), 5.0.1 (DEB for LSB 3.1), 5.2.5 (RPM for LSB 3.2), 5.2.5 (DEB for LSB 3.2)(How to install)) Generic Instructions: CUPS, LPD, LPRng, PPR, PDQ, no spooler >------------------------------------------------------------------- If you need the gutenprint drivers you are somewhat out of luck as YDL 6.2 only comes with the earlier incarnation gimp-print. All is not lost as you can install gutenprint from Fedora or compile it yourself. I compiled the package from gutenprint-5.2.4-4.fc10.src.rpm (the Fedora core 10) source package. I have found it useful for more modern printers. rpm -qa | grep gutenprint gutenprint-5.2.4-4 gutenprint-extras-5.2.4-4 gutenprint-cups-5.2.4-4 gutenprint-plugin-5.2.4-4 gutenprint-foomatic-5.2.4-4 -- Stephen Harker [email protected] PEMS http://sjharker.customer.netspace.net.au/ u...@adfa _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list - [email protected] Unsuscribe info: http://lists.fixstars.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:us.fixstars.com'
