I tried for a couple of days to get a 750 working, and it never did. Well, got
some black-and-white output with white lines across using the escp2 driver, but
that's it. Printcap's attached.
Then I looked at the LDP printer howto, and the 700/750 are listed as only
partially supported! Bummer. I'm trying to return it, but the vendor doesn't
want to take back printers, my secretary
managed to sweet-talk them into considering a refund, we'll see what happens...
If you can get it working, I'd love to see your printcap!
Thanks,
