I am trying to install an Epson EPL 6200 Laser Printer on my Xubuntu machine ... USB connection and the OS seems to see the printer but nothing prints - no documents, no test pages ... nothing nada nil.

Any help greatly appreciated.

I have tried the following from another topic (archived):


Hi, I finally managed to get the printer working in
Hardy, i suspect the same solution might apply on
Gutsy also.

Download epsoneplijs-0.4.0.tgz;
http://sourceforge.net/projects/epsonepl/

Compile and install:
tar zxvf epsoneplijs-0.4.0.tgz
cd epsoneplijs-0.4.0
./configure --prefix=/usr
./make
sudo make install

Then install the printer using this PPD file:
http://www.nemesys.fi/tiedostot/ubun...200L-Hardy.ppd

There u go!

I am using the latest tarball (0.4.1) and amended the commands appropriately, but it is not helping - when I get to the bolded line (./configure) I get the following response:


checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

Any ideas? Am I flogging a dead printer here?:confused:

So I guess it sees the printer, but when I send things to it nothing appears.
