[rm whoami]

Debian sarge 2.6 epson cx11nf checked on avasys also CUPS install rmp? Tried for days no success yet :confused: very new to computers figured why start out on windows so i installed Debian.

have you tried linuxprinting.org yet?

Yes, its listed as paperweight. Im trying to use CUPS and a source from avasys but i think i need someting called WINE. Im looking into this now, Thank you, any help is always appreciated.

uhh no, you dont need wine, just download the ppd file that linuxprinting.org suggests for that model and follow the cups tips they suggest there

linuxprinting.org is a great site! I read all the info on how set up the printer once i have the PPD. Problem is i have looked on linuxprinting.org for the PPD, epson, the install CD and through out the web for CX11NF and have found nothing. Can i use an older version or are these PPDs modle specific?
Perhaps im am just missing it and dont know

Im thinking i can use Foomatic, i've been reading about it but most of the discripton is beyond my knowldge of computers, seems as though i would still need a postscript printer discription, am i on the right track?

im thinking thats either a very new printer, or you have your model number wrong, if its a usb printer check lsusb output try to see what the kernel recognizes it as

Yes its one of Epsons new ones, its a network printer. I called Epson but they were less than helpful.
I puchased it before i knew much about Linux or computers for that matter.

safe bet for printers, if its HP it probably works and is supported

ok thanks for all the help, at least im learning so there is always a Plus!
