Greetings all..

I have an epson printer that is a USB inkjet.. and I have been unsuccessful at getting it set up on DSL. I did go through the aps filter/drive set up thingy.. but I have not had any success getting it to fly..

Any help in getting this to work would be gratly appreciated.

Also I have to say that I dont really care for this version of printer set up. the old version ( for me personally) was considerably less hassle.

Thanks..
Mark

Well actually the issue starts a little before that,

I dont even get a test page that will print. I have tried multiple drivers.

I only have 1 usb port and this is a THinkpad 770. ( If that helps).

Could you recommend settings within APS that would fix this issue..

I needed this for my tax info.

Thanks !

Did you try one of the drivers under the gimp print option 4? Those drivers worked fine for my stylus printer. I think there is a driver for the Stylus 60 series of printers. Let us know.

Yes, you are correct there is a driver for the 60's series printer for Updated EPSon. I used this selection. when I couldnt print a page from there, I tried a newer one.. that failed as well.

I will try the GIMP option as soon as I get home. and just in care your curious I did have the print queue button selected in the control panel

possibly the device selection I was using is incorrect as well ?

Thanks for your help !

I don't have the actual command in front of me but make sure you choose the device path for usb like /dev/usb/lpr or whatever it is. Apsfilter gives you examples to choose the correct one.

Good luck!
