Epson printers on YDL

[Paul Green]

Ok, I finally got my Epson printer working. The
problem was that YDL ships with gimp-print 4.2.1.
If you update your driver to gimp-print 4.2.5
everything should work. Basically I did this:

1) Go to http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi and
   find your printer in the menu next to "Show"

2) Download the recommended driver (for me gimp-print)
   http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/

3) Download gimp-print-4.2.5.tar.gz and install as root.
   Read the file Install for directions on compiling the 
   source after unpacking with 
   tar zxvf gimp-print-4.2.5.tar.gz

4) As root use kprinter to add a new printer (Do not use CUPS)!
   Just type kprinter

5) To add a new printer click on the button next to "Properties"
    (to the left of Properties)

6) just follow the instructions. I used location /dev/usb/lp0
   and CUPS+GIMP-PRINT v4.2.5 (notice version 4.2.5, not 4.2.1)

Good luck
