Hello!

I have a EPSON STYLUS PHOTO 1200 printer and is present in /dev/usb as lp0.

I have emerged cups and gimp-print and have cups and gimpprint USE flags set in make.conf.
But cups does not show gimp-print drivers in config dialog - trough web interface.

Any ideas why or what could be the problem?
With cups driver i can start to print a test page, but is only pulling empty pages trough with some
characters at the top of the page.

Thx, sale

Same problem here.
I emerged cups and gimp-print, but the gimp-print drivers are not shown.

What do I have to do?

edit: I have found the problem. I had to use the ppds flag. :)

thx anyway

Confirmed : the solution are the ppds and the gimpprint USE flags.

I had the same problem : printer recognized as USB printer, but no gimp printer available in the KDE configuration of CUPS.
I reemerged cups and gimp with the new flags in /etc/make.conf.
I emerge coldplug.
Seems to work now (except that the printers heads are dirty, but that's another story).

:D
