I just try to print a text file in my home dir,the driver it says it is using is EPSON CL-700 cups+gimp-print v4.2.7 sending it to the printer.this is a different driver than I use in debian,I think I am close just missing something.I haven't booted in over a month,do I need to reboot to get cups started.When my prenter works it will startup when I boot other dist.If I don't hear it starting it won't print.Thanks again david
No Luck,I booted into debian and checked the settings and tested worked great only difference was the driver was 4.2.6 and this one is 4.6.7 the only other thing was there for location ipp://thrasher:631/printers/home and here http://localhost:631/printers/home?
I tried to add your epson printer in cups, I end with this adress for printer :
usb:/dev/usblp0 but as I haven't your printer I can't configure deeper.
There is a command line to manually add printer to cups (require that you figure out what device in /dev your usb printer use):
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p Stylus_Color -E -v printer_device -m stcolor.ppd
ID Name User Size State Control
home-2 Test Page root 15k aborted Something is stoping it from connecting to the printer Could it be in fstab?
Also it is /dev/usb/lp0
here is /dev/fstab
