Fedora 14 printer not found

jfj · 12-01-2011, 08:06 AM

Clean installation of Fedora 14.
usb connected Epson RX620.
printer's SD card is mounted OK
installed software:
cups.x86_64
cups-libs.x86_64
foomatic.x86_64
foomatic-db.noarch
foomatic-db-filesystem.noarch
foomatic-db-ppds.noarch
foomatic-filters.x86_64
gutenprint.x86_64

How is a missing print driver indicated?
Where are printer drivers found in file system?
What should be done to get printer working?
Thanks, John

This may or may not help. I am running Linux Mint Debian Edition, so I can't get into the details of what you need to do, but here is a link to Epson's Linux driver for your printer:

There is an RPM and also a source file there.

This link may or may not work. If it does, it takes you to the file download page:

If you can't get your printer to work under Fedora, you can try another distro if you don't have too much time invested in customizing Fedora.
