I am running Fedora Core 1 on a PIII 600 (and quite well - very happy with the distro so far) and am connecting to my main machine to print. Main box is an Athlon running WinXP and I have an Epson Photo 825.
I followed the printer setup wizard, got connected using SMB on the first try and got a test page sent- print quality is horrible. There are no Linux drivers on the Epson site to allow me to share it from the Windows side- any ideas on getting usable output from the printer?
Output looks like the sheet fed too fast, with spaces between every pass of the print heads, so a line of text would have spaces roughly in the middle, with an extra gap between lines.
Have you tried printing from an application aswell? my printer test page seemed to print a bit faster than my printer usually goes.... but when i printed a picture (after changing the quality in the printer settings) it printed allright
Could you list your printer settings? I messed with a few and was able to get at least readable text and something close to full-color, smooth graphics, but it still looks horrible compared to the Windows driver output.
Okay, score one for assumptions... The black ink cartridge was gummed, so the issue was less the driver than the hardware, quailty is much improved. Still not red hot, though- all advice welcome for tweaking output
