Details, details please... I use SuSE 8, and couldn't find foomatic on the distribution discs, so I downloaded and installed from http://www.linuxprinting.org/foomatic.html This installed foomatic in /usr/local/share/foomatic, so I had to adjust the paths in copy_to_foomatic to: rm -f /usr/local/share/foomatic/db/source/opt/epsonepl-Tonersave.xml # OLD. cp driver/* /usr/local/share/foomatic/db/source/driver/ cp opt/* /usr/local/share/foomatic/db/source/opt/ cp printer/* /usr/local/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/ The foomatic-datafile calls didn't need to be changed, but for some reason on my system the program foomatic-datafile wasn't in the path, so I changed the calls to include the absolute path to the foomatic-datafile bin. I don't think other users will need to do this, however. For completeness: I used the calls for RedHat from the original copy_to_foomatic, but I don't think this is important, since te only difference seems to be the output file name. The last thing I needed to adjust was the target directory for the ppd files: cp -av Epson-EPL-*-cups.ppd.gz /usr/share/cups/model/ (I guess it would be OK and make more sense to add an "Epson" at the end of that path) Then the printer showed up in Yast2. AFter that, I had some trouble with my parralel port, but I think this is more due to the fact I never used it with Linux before, and had some resource conflicts with my soundcard, so this won't bother other users either. I've attached the new copy_to_foomatic file. If anyone is interedted in the .ppd files generated, let me know and I'll send them as well. A warning: I only tried this on my system, so please backup anything before you try my changes! Hope this helps a few people.
