I need a test report from folks running Gentoo (as I do). |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I was wondering if anyone had tried with any success whatever, the PIPS drivers |
| 7 |
from http://avasys.jp/hp/menu000000900/hpg000000859.htm ?? I've been trying |
| 8 |
(with no success excepting this longshot, the Epson RX680), to get a Inkjet |
| 9 |
printer that has duplex (doublesided) printing to admit they have working Linux |
| 10 |
drivers (really, Gentoo ones). I've found both the Canon PIXMA (the MP830 and |
| 11 |
MX850 printers, and the HP C7280, but the Linuxprinting database shows no |
| 12 |
support for those yet. I wouldn't have known about the Avasys driver from |
| 13 |
Linuxprinting alone, but I guess I got lucky with sufficient time wasted with |
| 14 |
Google. Avasys said they got it working with some other Linux distros, but not |
| 15 |
Gentoo. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
So, I'm praying I can get at least one positive report here on getting that |
| 18 |
Epson printer (or, even one of thoe others) working under Gentoo. |
| 19 |
Unfortunately, Avasys doesn't test with Gentoo (the snobs). |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Sure would appreciate even a rumor of a way to get a duplex (like I said, |
| 22 |
doublesided) printer up and running (cheaply, I won't pay $2,000.00, that HP |
| 23 |
model, at about $300, is as far as I'd want to go.) |
