The printer in question is an Epson Stylus Photo R280, which is supported by gutenprint. After configuring CUPS, including permissions for /dev/ulpt0, I could print; but the test page came out as garbage. In a moment of frustration, I tried to print the CUPS configuration window from the File menu in firefox......it worked! I then shutdown and left to see Star Trek before anything could go wrong. :-) I'll try to print from other applications later. Andrew
