Epson 640 + SuSE 6.2

Epson 640 + SuSE 6.2

Post by Jon » Sun, 26 Sep 1999 04:00:00



Hi all : )

I have an Epson  Stylus Colour 640 running on my SuSE Linux 6.2, kernel
2.2.10 (wicked distro! ;)) and I was wondering if anybody has actually
had any sucess in finding  and using any dedicated linux drivers for
this printer?............

I am currently using the stylus 600 drivers that are setup in YaST, but
I cannot utilise the full 1440x720 resolution with these and it takes an
age for it to print a full A4 page picture.........literally 45 minutse
(bah!).

Any help or advice would be greatly received :)

Thanx in Advance.....

Jon

You might try sending some of the options to ghostscript. I have a
Stylus 600 and mine prints slow too. I did manage to get 720x720 output
though. SuSE 6.2 uses ghostscript 5.10. You may have better luck
compiling ghostscript from source and trying that. I had to do that on
older versions of redhat.

SuSE 6.2 on a 6x86

Old hardware is faster on Linux...
        So is new hardware!

 
 
 

1. Epson Stylus Color 800 and SuSE 6.2

I have been programming on my little KDE programme, administrating systems,
getting remote printers to run fine. The only thing I can not do, is get
this printer (see subject) to print in any matter.

Could anyone tell me what packages I need, how to set up the kernel
(2.3.44), to finally get this thing (pretty dusty by now :-) ) to print.

Thanx in advance,

Martin Adler
