From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.0-0.26 i686) This is what I have: LPRng-3.6.24-2 rhs-printfilters-1.81-1 printtool-3.54-1 ghostscript-5.50-8 kudzu-0.72-3 kernel-2.4.0-0.26 (from preview directory on RH7.0 CD) I can't make my Epson Stylus Color 480 print. It doesn't even make any noise when trying to print. I tryed to follow some instructions in the following URLs, without success: http://www.eunuchs.org/epson/ http://lcewww.et.tudelft.nl/~haver/linux/epson.html Output of 'cat /proc/sys/dev/parport/parport0/autoprobe': CLASS:PRINTER; MODEL:Stylus COLOR 480; MANUFACTURER:EPSON; DESCRIPTION:EPSON Stylus COLOR 480; COMMAND SET:ESCPL2,BDC,D4; Why kudzu doesn't detect my printer? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a queue with printtool, selecting Epson Stylus Color (UP) 2. Restart LPRng (lpd) 3. lpr anyfile.txt; lpr anyfile.ps Actual Results: I can see the jobs for some seconds in the queue (using lpq), then they desapear. It seems that for ghostcript, the filters and LPRng everything was OK. lpd sent the data to /dev/lp0, but the printer stays quiet, and nothing is printed. I can use the printer under MS-Windows.
please try the following: echo -ne "a b c d\r\nb\r\nc\r\nd\r\n\014" > /dev/lp0 this 'should' produce: a b c d b c d if it does not, there is a kernel issue. Please attach a copy of the output of dmesg A parallel port problem was recently solved so it is possible that we've got this one, but lets see.

It seems it's been a while since any action has been taken on this bug report, unfortunately. Are you still experiencing this problem? Does the 2.2.x kernel give the same problem? (The latest kernel update for Red Hat Linux 7.0 is 2.2.19-7.0.12.)
Also, what exactly was the outcome of the 'echo' command? Did anything print?
Now I'm using RedHat 7.2b (I have to upgrade to 7.2+updates) and still can't print. The output for the echo was nothing. Didn't worked. That is whay I sent a 'dmesg' output.
Which kernel are you using now? 2.4.9-13? Can you show me the dmesg output for the kernel that you are using now please? I'd like to check to see if a bug that is visible in the 2.4.0-xxx dmesg output is indeed now gone, in which case I can eliminate that as being the cause.
*ping*
No I'm using 7.2 with all updates (kernel-2.4.9-13), and still can't print. When configuring a printer with printtool, which driver should I select? There are 2 or 3 to choose. Also, there is no Epson Stylus 480. Which compatible printer should I select? Epson 400?
Are you looking for 'Epson Stylus _Color_ 480' (my emphasis)?
It is Epson Stylus Color 480. Sorry. We should also change the product version to Red Hat Linux 7.2.
Are you using US Letter paper size? Please try printing the attached file like this (as root): cat testpage.prn > /dev/lp0 Let me know the result.
Created attachment 48624 [details] testpage.prn
OK, my printer was detached.... I attached it, "service lpd stop", and "cat testpage.prn > /dev/lp0". It worked!! I got the Color US Letter RedHat Princonf test page. Which driver should I select? And if I want to print in black and white also?
Epson Stylus Color 480. For B&W printing some applications give you this option anyhow (gimp, for example). Otherwise, you can set up another queue with different driver options.
I didn't understand how to solve this problem. This printer is not listed printtool's list. Please specify *exact* drivers and filters I have to select for color and for B&W.
You should see 'Epson'->'Stylus Color 480'. B&W or Color can be selected under 'Driver Options' (look at 'Output Type'). The original problem in this report (can't printer at all) is solved--if you think that there is an issue with B&W/Color, please open a separate report for it. Thanks.
Created attachment 54344 [details] printconf-gui screenshot
As you can see in my printconf-gui screenshot, I don't have this printer in the printers list. Even if it was there, which driver should I select? I'm using printconf-gui-0.3.61-3, Omni-0.5.0-4, foomatic-1.1-0.20011218.3, ghostscript-6.51-16 Thank you, Avi
Do you have foomatic-1.1-0.20011218.3 (the latest issue for that release) installed?
As I wrote in my last bug report (2002-04-18 11:12:33), I'm using foomatic-1.1- 0.20011218.3.
Well, try 460->stp. I don't know; it looks like full support for the 480 came after 7.2+updates. (For example, Skipjack [the current beta] will have '480' listed explicitly.)
