--Boundary-02=_4lcMB4DZzeopL6J Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Hi, I've been using CUPS with a couple of epson inkjet over the last few years.= My=20 old inkjet which was a parallel port version seemed to work OK (albeit *ver= y*=20 slowly). When I bought a new C61 USB printer a couple of years ago, I found= =20 it printed OK sometimes, but often the first time I print to it, it prints= =20 garbage. I have stop CUPS, clear the print queue, reset the printer & resta= rt=20 CUPS (sometimes several times) before it will print correctly. Once it's=20 right, it stays that way until I switch my computer off. I've tried starting the computer with the printer on & with it off (which=20 means I have to stop & restart cups before it will detect the printer), but= =20 either way I have this problem. I assume that CUPS is somehow initialising the printer incorrectly sometime= s. Has anyone else experienced this problem, or have any suggestion for fixing= it=20 without the whole stop, reset, reload process?
