Printing Problems on YDL 3.0

[Daniel Gimpelevich]

Not sure about YDL3, but YDL2.3 installed CUPS and I told it that I have a
SP1200, but printing the test page made it spew garbage pages all over the
place. The solution was to tell CUPS not to use SP1200, but to use Foomatic,
and then tell Foomatic that I have a SP1200. You cannot tell CUPS to use
Foomatic using the CUPS web interface, you have to use a command line. The
SP1200 only understands ESC/P 2 Raster commands rather than regular ESC/P 2,
and AFAIK the same applies to your SC760, so it's possible that the above
will work for you too.
