Hello People,
I'll try this a second time before giving up. I recently upgraded?? from RH 7.3 to FC-2. Before the upgrade?? my Epson Stylus C62 printer worked perfectly. After the upgrade??, nothing. Have run system-config-printer as root. With the 'config' added a local printer with the name 'Epson'. Goto rescan the device, nothing so add a custom device as /dev/lp0 for a parallel printer. Set the printer model as Epson Stylus C62 which I find and note that the driver is correct. I'm ask if I want to print a test page and I say yes. Nothing and the dialog box says 'Printer not connected'. (Printer IS connected to the computer and is on!) Run lpq and am told that the Epson is ready and printing which it most certainly isn't. I've wasted hours with this to no avail. Does anyone have a clue as to why I can't get this to work? This upgrade?? is most frustrating.
Thanks
Bill Graves
The only thing that I can think of is the change in printer control from RHL 7.3 to FC 2. Are you using the printer control from RHL 7.3 or the preferred method used by FC2?
There were discussions that talked about printer problems and solutions earlier on the list, maybe 3 or 4 months back.
I have a parallel printer that works, so I did not pay close attention to the thread.
