I have an Epson Stylus DX7000F printer.
I have downloaded gutenprint-5.2.0-beta3 from sourceforge.net, and I have compiled it, then I have the Epson Stylus DX7000F printer driver option when adding the printer in cups web.
In cups web, when I try to add a new printer it asks me about the connection and it gives me a list in which I cannot chose USB backend (because it doesn't appear in the list).
I had an (not working) idea to add the printer in cups web: I was choosing AppSocket (for example) and in the next step, when it was asking me the connection uri I was deleting the word "sockect" and I was writing: "usb://epson/Stylus%20DX7000F" then it allowed me to continue till the end where it stopped with the uri error: Bad device-uri "USB://EPSON/Stylus%20DX7000F"!
Now I have tried to write "epson:/Stylus_DX7000F" then it allows me to continue till the end without an error, but when I try to print a test page it shows me the error message:
"Unable to open parallel port device file: No such file or directory"
I have not been able to add the printer and make it work.
What shoul I try? Any idea, workaround, etc ...?
