I can't seem to figure out how to set up my printer under linux. I've done almost everything else (with some help in some areas) but I've found that setting up a printer is now well documented.
I have an Epson Stylus Color 400. I want to be able to use it with text, pictures, netscape, star office, etc... Well, everything. What do I do? I've been reading vague references to CUPS, magicfilter, apsfilter, stp, etc, etc. Near as I can tell, I use stty -a and /etc/printcaps to set up my printer to accept plain text. (any expansion on this would be great). There's some references to using lp and lpd to set it up. Do I just need to install some spooling software to deal with the conversion to postscript? (If so, is this what all this apsfilter, magicfilter, CUPS stuff is about?). What packages do I need to install and what are the general steps afterwards? >From what I've been reading, CUPS is supposed to be the easiest to set up, but is it what I want? I also have one more question, why does woody have such an old version of openSSH in it? Why isn't it closer to 2.5 (I know, it's not sid, which has 2.5.2p2, but it's running the same version from potato). Thanks a whole bunch for your help. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Patrick Mauro [EMAIL PROTECTED]
