I have an Epson 1200 in /dev/usb/lp0 and am trying to get the stp driver
offered in printconf to at least print a test page to no avail. Help!!!

I started the drivers with /etc/init.d/cups start. Opened up mozilla
browser and loaded up localhost:631 to add my epson 740 printer.
everything went great until I tried to print a test page. I received
this error-/Unable to open USB port device file "/dev/usb/lp0": No such
device"/

I've tried other ports and the other Epson drivers with the same
result.
My computer is a powermac G4/400 running YDL 2.2. Printing was fine
until I decided to wipe my hard drive and do a clean install of YDL. I
previosly was using YDL 2.1 with little or no problems thanks to all
the
help from this list.


Did you try "printconf"? The new print system in 2.2 is much improved.
It isn't CUPS, but it works fine with my USB based Epson Stylus that
was a pain in 2.1....
