Epson cx4200 on 6.5.b7_32
Posts: 8
I just installed the latest mepis to try out. I went through the add printer dialog and found my epson cx4200 printer and installed it. It is on a usb port.
Printing the test page fails with the report below. This printer worked fine on my previous linux distro and on the same port. So it is not the printer or hardware. Any ideas?

I've used turboprint before

I've used turboprint before and it does work well, but this printer was working before in linux. I'm wondering why it doesn't work in mepis.
I'll have to keep trying. Unfortunately my other Brother 2070n printer is having troubles also. Brother provides a .deb, but I don't think that it works on ubuntu based distros.

One solution is to try Turboprint from http://www.turboprint.info
I think it works better than cups for many Epson printers
