Hello there, This issue has been bothering me for a couple of weeks now, and for the time being I implemented a Linux solution. I can't get my Epson Stylus Color 1520 to print properly through FreeBSD. Since it's possible on Linux (I'm running SuSE 7.3 now, on which it all came preinstalled), I want to do it on FreeBSD because that's clearly my OS of choice. My problems are as follows: I try to compile the gimp1 port, which fails with type 1 errors no matter what I do to it. I even totally reinstalled the system from scratch (FreeBSD 4.4 Release and 4.5 Release). Both had the same problem. CVSupping the ports didn't help. So I tried the manual route.. I downloaded the sources to the Gimp, GTK+, Cups, Ghostscript, Gimp Print, autoconf, gmake and a few more dependencies that I don't exactly recall right now. Point is, compiling and installing the Gimp works, but trying to subsequently compile Gimp Print fails because the configure script doesn't detect my Gimp installation. I haven't gotten further than this, so there may just as well be tons of other showstoppers waiting for me but this is what I have. I'm very surprised that it's such an easy thing to do on Linux. Does anyone have a Stylus 1520 working?? I'd really really like to put mine to work as a postscript printer for my Mac and Windows clients on the network.. Thanks in advance for any information.. Bas PS. I don't have any error outputs available since I had to reformat and install Linux for the time being. I really need this machine to work..
