ok, I have a problem. I don't know whats important to show for you guys get the hang of my config. so if you need some info please tell me.

To the problem... I have installed cups, foomatic and gimp-print and i get my printer a Eosin Stylus 44UX to print with driver : "EPSON New Stylus Color Series Cups v1.1"
with the old driver it wont print at all.

But the only thing thats come out on paper is rubbish (it doesn't matter what I try to print the same shit allways comes out).. do someone please have any ideas of what I can do to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance

Ok, the printer just printed rubbish.. I look at the config in kdes own printer-config-app

I see that the paper size is set to letter and I think can this be the problem.. I change it to A4 and realize that the printer just prints blank pages now.
just like in an other post https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-333453.html

I do as the dude that had solved this and installed Turbo Print. but I just use the driver that is built in turbo print in cups instead and it all works fine!

Cheers in advance
