I just finish the installation of Rhel 5.3 i want to print but dont know how to setup my printer. please guide me.

Which printer? Have you tried Add printer wizard? Is the printer locally connected or is it network printer? Some more information please.

Welcome to LQ. .. .. ..

Epson TX 110 : Please open the terminal, and
1) su
2) system-config-printer

( Or may be http://localhost:631/ )

More info : Google .. tx110 printer linux
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1363863
etc. etc.
.....

i like to try first to install it as local printer directly attatch to my box.

i try add printer but the printer is not yet supported from the list of model under epson.

what should i do now?

Just got one of these printers, myself ....
installed ok, BUT keeps installing ! - under Mint Gloria.
each time the pc is re-booted & the printer is turned on.
Dunno why.

also got the scanner to work by getting "Imagescan, from the Avasys site".

A few suggestions ... you will probably have to Google a lot,
and may be find some solution.

Google .. epson stylus tx110 linux ..
http://rapid4me.com/?q=epson+stylus+...iver+for+linux

Also found, that win XP uses the same driver ( 6.61 E )
for both TX 110 and TX 550 W. May be similar in Linux too.

http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Drivers/Gutenprint.shtml
>> TX110 supported by "gutenprint-5.2.5"

You can also run the Ubuntu 9.10 live Linux cd, set up the printer,
and have a look in /etc/cups/ppd/ .. to trace the used driver.

There are no gutenprint packages for EL 5, but I remember 5.2.4
as very easy to build ..
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...rint-753933/#2

# yum install cups-devel

The Fedora 14 gutenprint-5.2.5-5.fc14.src.rpm is required
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...5.fc14.src.rpm
cd rpms/SOURCE/
rpm2cpio gutenprint-5.2.5-5.fc14.src.rpm | cpio -idmv
cd ../SPEC/ ,,, and copy the 5.2.4 file gutenprint-2el5.spec.txt here.
Ref. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...rint-753933/#2
( The new 5.2.5 file is buggy.) Please edit line 6 to : 5.2.5
Next : rpmbuild -bb gutenprint-2el5.spec

Setting up the rpmbuild account in /home/<username>/ ,,, post # 13:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...1-a-766486/#13

Alternatively try out my packages, 3.5 MB, 382 kB, 5.5 MB :
gutenprint gutenprint-cups gutenprint-foomatic. Send an email,
and I will attach packages to return mails.
.....

Like you can buy special scanner software = VueScan,
proprietary printer drivers are available : TurboPrint.
.....

another problem is when i plug the printer new pop window appear i choose epson but tx110 is not in the choices of model, therefore i will tick cancel.

using that add printer still make/model not yet in the list.
there is a portion there an option where i could provide ppd file. but unfortunately i cannot find it using google.

little help please.

Hello,

You're printer is supported in the latest version of Gutenprint (5.2.5). Check for and install the package cups-driver-gutenprint (5.2.5-0ubuntu1) using your package manager. Then you'll have the printer driver available for selection in CUPS and you'll be up and running in no-time.

Kind regards,

Eric

Post # 9.
The Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid package will not fit Redhat EL 5.x,
I think.

But besides that, the gutenprint 5.2.5 is the first choice
to try out. And I can still supply the EL5 package(s).
.....

LOL, thanks knudfl, I missed that one (one eye open and the other one closed results in noob stuff like that)

Kind regards,

Eric

thanks sir but is it possible to use the installer of ubuntu to redhat and vice versa?redhat use rpm while ubuntu use deb.

if possible how to code that?

in the terminal.

No, you cannot use the Ubuntu package(s).

Click my name, and click "Send email to knudfl"
and I can send you these attached to a return mail:
gutenprint-5.2.5-2el5.i386.rpm
gutenprint-foomatic-5.2.5-2el5.i386.rpm
gutenprint-cups-5.2.5-2el5.i386.rpm
gutenprint-plugin-5.2.5-2el5.i386.rpm
gutenprint-extras-5.2.5-2el5.i386.rpm
.....

should i install all the installer? if im not mistaken that is 5 installer,right?
