I'm trying to make an Epson SC 1160 work under samba, using the gimp driver. It prints nicely from KDE, but not from XP.
The only error message I get is in /var/log/cups/error_log, which reads:
Adding start banner page "none" to job 5326. Adding end banner page "none" to job 5326. Job 5326 queued on 'epson' by 'edwin'. Unable to convert file 0 to printable format for job 5326! Hint: Do you have ESP Ghostscript installed? Hint: Try setting the LogLevel to "debug".
How do I tell if the ghostscript that's installed (7.07-15.2) is ESP ghostscript?
"gs -?" will return a lot of information about ghostscript. But you should be able to do this with GNU-ghostscript as well. IIRC, you have to tell cups to accept the print job in "raw" form. In /etc/cups/mime.convs look for:
# Raw filter... # # Uncomment the following filter and the application/octet-stream type # in mime.types to allow printing of arbitrary files without the -oraw # option. # # application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw 0
Make sure the line above is uncommented. And in /etc/cups/mime.types:
# Raw print file support... # # Uncomment the following type and the application/octet-stream # filter line in mime.convs to allow raw file printing without the # -oraw option. # application/octet-stream
Make sure the above line is uncommented. Restart cups and try again.
