Installing Epson cx5200 usb printer
I am running Debian sarge on the 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel. I have been trying for 2 days now to print a test page to my Epson cx5200 printer without any success. I have followed the instructions on LinuxPrinting.org but to no avail. I downloaded pips rpm and used alien to convert it to deb and install that...nothing. I haven't gotten even a sound from my printer. When I dual boot into Windows, it works just fine, though. Does anybody have experience with installing any of the Epson printers in Debian? I could use all the help I can get.
Does my kernel default with USB support? I am not even sure that linux sees any of the ports. I have 4 usb ports on the back of my computer. I have used the web interface with CUPS at localhost:631/admin to set the device at /dev/lp0, /dev/usb/lp0, and /dev/usblp0, none of which work. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this anymore.
Here is my /var/log/cups/error_log:
