Hi, I have an Epson C64 printer running with FC6 up to date. I periodically need to clean the print heads. Until now the method has been to reboot into XP and use the Epson driver there. This works fine but is tedious. I recently updated the Epson CUPS driver, hoping for this functionality, but it is apparently not there. I then ran kcontrol, went into peripherals, printers and Epson printer tools. There I found a page that seems to offer exactly the options needed to nozzle print, align and clean the heads, in a vertical sequence of 6 buttons. But clicking on any button gives the message, :unsupported connection type: hal." I don't know about hal connection types. This printer is connected by a USB cable which has given no problems in regular use. I conclude I have stumbled upon some unfamiliar jargon and am seeking advice. Anyone?
