i have an Epson stylus C60
i just installed Gimp-Print
CUPS
and ghostscript

I have recompiled my kernel to enable the necessary usb support and loaded the following modules:
Module Size Used by
usb-uhci 20992 0 (unused)
printer 5504 0
usbcore 47488 1 [usb-uhci printer]

i have mounted the usbdevfs
and the files are there and report the printer as being detected

i have used the CUPS web interface to add the printer using /dev/usb/lp0 as the device which seems to be right

the problem is when i try to print anything it emediately cancels the print job
here is what i get from the cups error log:
E [21/Aug/2002:14:09:42 -0700] Unable to convert file 0 to printable format for job 7!

i have familiarized myself with many of the current online howtos for usb and linux printing but can't seem to resolve this issue
has anyone encountered a similar problem ?

any thoughts ??


thanks
