From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: FC3 fully up2date Attempting to configure Epson C80 on USB via the GUI, all goes through till you hit "finish", when nothing happens. So run system-config-printer and you get: $ system-config-printer No match for USB device: mfr "EPSON" model "Stylus C80" desc "EPSON Stylus C80" cmdset "ESCPL2,BDC,D4" Please report this message in Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla Choose 'foomatic' as the component. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): foomatic-3.0.2-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. New install of FC3 from Linux Format Jan 2005 2. Run up2date (2 Jan 05) 3. System settings | Printing - fails at finish 4. Console $ system-config-printer - error message above Additional info: This printer worked happily under FC1
This ID is included upstream and in rawhide (but not in FC3). It should not be preventing you from printing, however -- can you confirm that printing is working with that printer?
As far as i can tell - no it's not. Like a fool, I skipped the "print test page" option when doing the latest installation. However, lpr complains: lpr: error - no default destination available. and apps such as OOo or gedit offer only "Create a PDF Doc" (which works) or "Generic Postscript" (which seems to go to the bitbucket) in the Printers list. If I hot plug the USB cable after it's been disconnected a while, it kicks in the GUI printer selection app, which correctly identifies Epson in the manufacturer list and Stylus C80, but doesn't create an entry in the Printers list. Is there a printer definitions file on the FC1 distro that I could copy/hack to get this working for now? I'm sorry, I'm fairly new to Linux, but I've been dabbling on a spare test box for a few months, and i'm just about convinced I could make the big leap some time soon. Thanks
Latest I have just tried system-config-printer again, and now get the following: ]# system-config-printer No match for USB device: mfr "EPSON" model "Stylus C80" desc "EPSON Stylus C80" cmdset "ESCPL2,BDC,D4" Please report this message in Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla Choose 'foomatic' as the component.

I had forgotten to su before running the command. I hope this helps - Jon
You don't need to run 'su' before running the command. However, the traceback is entirely unexpected. What does this say?: rpm -V foomatic
$ rpm -V foomatic ..5...... /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/opt/gimp-print-ijs-pagesize.xml
That means that the file has been modified since installation.
Thank you - sorted. I don't know what had modified it but reinstalling from DVD: [root@mead RPMS]# rpm -ivh --replacepkgs foomatic-3.0.2-3.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:foomatic ########################################### [100%] [root@mead RPMS]# system-config-printer No match for USB device: mfr "EPSON" model "Stylus C80" desc "EPSON Stylus C80" cmdset "ESCPL2,BDC,D4" Please report this message in Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla Choose 'foomatic' as the component.
