I am finding I am unable to print to a usb connected Epson Stylus
Photo R800 on debian sid:
ii cupsys-driver-gutenprint
5.0.2-2 printer drivers for CUPS
I create a new printer via the cups admin web interface:
aaa-eps-r800
Description:
Location:
Printer Driver: Epson Stylus Photo R800 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.2
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published.
Device URI: epson:/dev/usb/lp0
When I try and print a test page from the cups admin web interface, it
returns the error:
"Unable to open parallel port device file: Permission denied"
$ ls -l /dev/usb/lp0
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 180, 0 2008-02-28 01:41 /dev/usb/lp0
My user is a member of both lp and lpadmin groups
If I restart the printer, and try to print another test page I get a new error:
"/usr/lib/cups/backend/epson failed"
This error appears in a current cupsys bugreport on the ubuntu bts:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cupsys/+bug/183110
If I restart the printer a second time, and try to print another test
page I get the original error:
"Unable to open parallel port device file: Permission denied"
Is there more information I can provide?
