Re: [LUG] Epson Stylus Photo R200

 

Hi Rob,

Apologies for the off-list email.  Maybe you and I should compare notes, as
we both seem to have the same issue :)  I'll let you know how I get on with
following Neil and Robin's advice with the gimp-print installation :)  BTW
I'm using MDK 10.0.  What distro do you have?

Kind regards,

Julian

Now question, does anyone know of a utility to print DVDs in Linux?


Printing onto the disc surface itself? Specially coated discs or
ordinary?
CD as well as DVD?


www.linuxprinting.org says this printer works *partially* but won't go
further than that.


It only says partial because the user reports still include things that
don't
always work:
"Tried printing on a CD: printer spits out the CD-tray and waits until
the
CD-tray is closed before it prints on regular paper. Apparently some
special
command is necessary to make it print on CD :-("

But that may not be correct:


and do the job or should I ask on SourceForge for suggestions?


Already done - it IS supported by gimp-print:

Perhaps you need to switch driver.


Thats useful to know, I've been using a Windows 2000 PC to print CDs and
DVDs on my R200.
