Hi! Here at the office we run the (I know quite proprietary) Epson EPL-5800L Laser Printer. After a fresh installation of CUPS wit gutenprint and foomatic printing the Test Page spawned an error in foomatic rip, which at a closer look occured, because in the PPD Epson-EPL-5800L-epl5800l.ppd.gz there is ijs mode specified: > [...] > *FoomaticIDs: Epson-EPL-5800L epl5800l > *FoomaticRIPCommandLine: "gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sProcessCol&& > orModel=DeviceGray -dBitsPerSample=1 -sDEVICE=ijs %A %Z -sIjsServer=ij&& > s_server_epsonepl -dIjsUseOutputFD -sDeviceManufacturer=Epson -sDevice&& > Model=EPL5800L -sIjsParams="%B" -sOutputFile=- -" > *End > [...] That particular ijs server is not installed and so the printing fails: > [...] > D [31/Jul/2006:11:02:20 +0200] [Job 3] foomatic-gswrapper: gs '-dBATCH' > '-dSAFER' '-dNOPAUSE' '-sProcessColorModel=DeviceGray' '-dBitsPerSample=1' > '-sDEVICE=ijs' '-sIjsServer=ijs_server_epsonepl' '-dIjsUseOutputFD' > '-sDeviceManufacturer=Epson' '-sDeviceModel=EPL5800L' > '-sIjsParams=EplFlowControl=off,EplDpi=600,EplDensity=3,EplRitech=on,EplTonerSave=off,''-sOutputFile=/dev/fd/3' > '/dev/fd/0' 3>&1 1>&2 > D [31/Jul/2006:11:02:20 +0200] [Job 3] ESP Ghostscript 815.01 (2005-09-22) > D [31/Jul/2006:11:02:20 +0200] [Job 3] Copyright (C) 2004 artofcode > LLC,Benicia, CA.

This can be solved by installing the "aliened" rpm from http://sourceforge.net/projects/epsonepl/ because this contains the requiered /usr/bin/ijs_server_epsonep (the remaining files are assigned to /usr/share/doc by alien), because ijs_server_epsonep is not in debian. Will it be possible not to use the ijs or to provide ijs_server_epsonep?
