Has anyone successfully > done this? If so, how is it done? I've had an Epson Stylus Color 600 working with kernel 2.2.10 (now it's using 2.2.12). i use lprng and magicfilter. However, at one point i had to write my own magicfilters because the supplied ones don't work too well. First, make sure printer support is compiled into your kernel, or compiled as modules. You'll need "Parallel port support" [CONFIG_PARPORT], "PC-style hardware" [CONFIG_PARPORT_PC], and "Parallel printer support" [CONFIG_PRINTER]. You can check the configuration (which should be in /boot/config-2.2.10 if you installed a kernel-image deb) to see if the variables in brackets are set. If they aren't, you'll need to recompile the kernel. Next, set up the new filters. First, cd to /etc/magicfilter. Copy stylus_color_360dpi-filter to stylus_color600_360dpi-filter, and stylus_color_720dpi-filter to stylus_color600_720dpi-filter. In stylus_color600_360dpi-filter, change '@stc2.upp' to '@stc600pl.upp' in the three places it occurs. In stylus_color600_720dpi-filter, change '@stc800p.upp' to '@stc600p.upp' in the three places. Run magicfilterconfig. Your printer is probably on /dev/lp0. I named my spool directories 'esc600-360' and 'esc600-720', but you can use any names you want. I used the obvious filters with those. After this, your printing should work.
