Dear LUGs,
Anybody have an printer driver for EPSON LQ-1150 II, 24
pin, 136 column printer for Ubuntu 7.10 and Fedoracore 7?
Please send me.
Any idea to make an printer driver from Windows driver software?
People say that you need CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) and a bunch
of other drivers. I think you need to install apsfilter(1) software.
But I have printed with just LPRng. Too bad the project is apparently
defunct now.
It was a long time ago and I used to test for LPD on TCP 515 with
$ nc -v <PRINTERIP> 515
and you could use
$ export PRINTER=lp@<PRINTERIP>
$ a2ps <input-file> -o foo.ps
$ lpr foo.ps
and things used to work.
But a lot of water has flown under the bridge since then.
So my above description may not help you (much).
