[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, I've been using CUPS with a couple of epson inkjet over the last few years. My old inkjet which was a parallel port version seemed to work OK (albeit *very* slowly). When I bought a new C61 USB printer a couple of years ago, I found it printed OK sometimes, but often the first time I print to it, it prints garbage. I have stop CUPS, clear the print queue, reset the printer & restart CUPS (sometimes several times) before it will print correctly. Once it's right, it stays that way until I switch my computer off. I've tried starting the computer with the printer on & with it off (which means I have to stop & restart cups before it will detect the printer), but either way I have this problem. I assume that CUPS is somehow initialising the printer incorrectly sometimes. Has anyone else experienced this problem, or have any suggestion for fixing it without the whole stop, reset, reload process?
