    Epson sx600f printer

    Help . . . .

    This is a new printer, the installation is using a driver downloaded from avasys, . . . this driver generates a ppd file for you.

    Configuring via cups, then attempting to print gives the error message

    Can't write page 1 header

    The cups log is getting enormous. . .

    This may not be relevant, . . . but the installation of the 3rd party driver stalled at not finding libltdl.so.3 . . i'd overcome this by creating a link like this . . sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libltdl.so.7 /usr/lib/libltdl.so.3

    You should need any extra drivers, IF you go to System-->Administratiion-->Printing and install the printer following the prompts. According to this, all you need is the gutenprint driver.

    Yes but on the same page it says

    The properties of this printer are not yet entered into the database
    This printer is only listed here because it is in the list of supported printers of the entries for the drivers shown below.

    In other words it should work "in theory" . . . looks like it hasnt actually been tested yet.

    Update . . . its sort of getting there . .

    I have it printing, it was probably printing at a much earlier stage in the proceedings, however, it WONT print the test-page.

    If i just open a file (text or photo using gimp) it'll print ok
