[SOLVED] Problems Printing in 13.1

SeRi@lDiE · 12-02-2010, 02:07 PM

I just bought a new printer an Epson Artisan 50. I can not get it to work for nothing.

I get error:

/etc/cups/interfaces/EPSON-Artisan-50 failed

PPD is from http://www.openprinting.org/printer/...son-Artisan_50

Any ideas out there?

so you ran pkgtool and ran sysytem service and enabled cups right then rebooted and used this address

Quote:

http://localhost:631/admin

in firefox to configure the printer. then ran a test.

Did you start the cups daemon?

Code:

chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups
/etc/rc.d/rc.cups start

Yes I made sure of all of this

The issue was that the printer was defective. Took it back and got me a different model since that was the last one.

Thanks!
