What version of ESP Ghostscript do you have installed? Please post the output of the printingbuginfo script, it can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrintingBugInfoScript > I have solved this problem by adding the Foomatic filter: > *cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 foomatic-rip" > to the PPD generated file.

According to www.linuxprinting.org the gimp-print driver is still recommended for the Epson Stylus Photo 720. Ubuntu only includes gutenprint, the successor of gimp-print. Normally the gutenprint driver is expected to work equally well or even better than gimp-print. You are right that Stp720p.upp is incorrectly indicated as the recommended driver, I will need to further invistigate why this happened. Since Ubuntu uses the linuxprinting.org database the expected behavior would be that neither gutenprint nor stp720p.upp should be recommended. ** Changed in: gutenprint (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Needs Info -- Unable to print text or ps/pdf to gutenprint printer https://launchpad.net/bugs/36532 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
