I've got an Epson Stylus Color 640, and kernel 2.6.7. I emerged cups and foomatic without any problems. I did my research on linuxprinting.org and also emerged gimp-print which is the recommended driver set for this printer.

Code:
cat test.txt > dev/lp0


works properly.

I run foomatic-configure like this:

Code:
foomatic-configure -s cups -p Epson-Stylus_Color_640 -c file:/dev/lp0 -n epson -d gimp-print


and get 8 occurrences of this error:

Code:
Use of uninitialized value in numeric gt (>) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4/Foomatic/DB.pm line 1879


I tried to re-emerge foomatic, but the same thing happens. Any suggestions?

With different hardware - Bug? How do we report it, and to whom?

EPSON Stylus C60 Printer

Code:
$ cat > /dev/usb/lp0
Testing...
^D
$
works perfectly from what I can tell, but foomatic-configure isn't good..

Perhaps we should report this on bugs.gentoo.org ...

[edit]
I just realized that this is my 1337-th post .. . 8O :lol:
