I'm trying to create a driver for my new printer. Am getting the following error:

I issue this command:

bash-2.05b# foomatic-configure -n Epson -s cups -c file:/dev/usb/lp0 -p
Epson_Stylus_C84 -d gimp-print

Get this error:

Cannot read file /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/Epson_Stylus_C84.xml!
Cannot read file /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/Epson_Stylus_C84.xml!
Printer file /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/Epson_Stylus_C84.xml corrupted, missing, or not readable!
Could not run "foomatic-combo-xml"/"foomatic-perl-data"! at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.2/Foomatic/DB.pm line 509.

Any ideas?
Am I missing a package?

Opps should have been Epson-Stylus not Epson_Stylus.

Guess my xterm font was too small!

Still the file for the C84 exists but is NOT supported in the gimp-print driver!
had to use the C82 driver. Guess this is a *little* bug.
