Hi, |
| 2 |
My wife picked up a new printer on the cheap. It's an Epson and |
| 3 |
pretty much identical to one on my son's old Fedora system so I am |
| 4 |
sure it should work. However so far I cannot get CUPS to make it |
| 5 |
print. |
| 6 |
|

1) I've plugged it in to a USB port. It's visible using usbview. |
| 8 |
|

2) I tried configuring it as a new printer within CUPS. I called it a |
| 10 |
USB printer and chose USB Printer #1. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
3) I picked out the Epson Stylus stuff and CUPS said everythign was cool. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
4) When I look at printer status I see that the printer is there. It |
| 15 |
says the printer is ready to print and its address usb:/dev/usb/lp0. |
| 16 |
However when I unplug the USB cable and refresh the browser it doesn't |
| 17 |
show as being not ready. |

I tried printing a test page. The print job happens and the system |
| 20 |
says it's completed but no test page comes out. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
What obvious thing am I missing about this? |

Thanks, |
