OK. I know it's been a few days, but here is where I am. I managed to get the printer installed using the Epson Stylus Color 800 ECS / P2 (or whatever it is) driver under lprngtool. Unfortunately, when I installed using magicfilter, lprngtool was not able to read the /etc/printcap. I can print an ASCII test page and also the PS test page (but only in B&W at low res 360x360). I am not sure what else I can do. I was not able to get it working under OpenOffice (on the local machine) and have not yet tried over the network. I would like to see if I can get this working in color at the higher resolution of 720x720. I checked out the lprng HOWTO but it was not very helpful (and a little too much technical crap, about 350 pages in all, for me to wade through at the moment).hi ya robertoon your print server... d/l and install magicfilter to make life 10x easier vi /etc/printcap # # http://www.Linux-Consulting.com/Downloads/LPR/printcap # lp|Epson800:\ :lp=/dev/lp0:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd:\ :pw:132:\ :fq:\ :sh:mx#0:\ :if=/usr/local/sbin/printers/stc800:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp-log: -- -- you might wanna look for say stc400 instead -- in that magicfilter directory -- restart lpd ... lpr /etc/printcap ----------------- for your other PCs... those would look at your printserver as a network printer for your other linux boxes ... printing to the linux box w/ the epson physcially connected to it vi /etc/printcap # # ip# of the print server # lp|Epson800:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :rm=w.x.y.z: resstart lpd ... post any error messages and to make things fun... - print an asci file first - print a very very small postscript file - print the tiger - print from netscape - print pages side-by-side c ya alvin
