Hi,
I've been using CUPS with a couple of epson inkjet over the last few years.=
 My=20
old inkjet which was a parallel port version seemed to work OK (albeit *ver=
y*=20
slowly). When I bought a new C61 USB printer a couple of years ago, I found=
=20
it printed OK sometimes, but often the first time I print to it, it prints=
=20
garbage. I have stop CUPS, clear the print queue, reset the printer & resta=
rt=20
CUPS (sometimes several times) before it will print correctly. Once it's=20
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=20
means I have to stop & restart cups before it will detect the printer), but=
=20
either way I have this problem.
I assume that CUPS is somehow initialising the printer incorrectly sometime=
s.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, or have any suggestion for fixing=
 it=20
without the whole stop, reset, reload process?

Cheers,
Ian
