    Hello,
    I am having a troublesome time with CUPS and printing to an Epson
    PM-740DU inkjet printer. I have set up cups and it works to a degree. I
    can print test pages like there is no tomorrow but I cannot print from
    desktop applications let alone from any of the networked machines via
    samba. The client machines can browse and add the printer but they
    cannot print to it. I am using a fairly generic PPD for the printer as I
    could not find one for BSD in the ports and linuxprinting.org didn't
    offer much joy. I understand that the printer is roughly equivalent to
    the Stylus Photo 780 ( max dpi 2880x720 , 6 colours ).

    When trying to print a txt file from the cmd line I get

    lpr: lp: unknown printer

    /etc/printcap shows

    tamachi: $ cat /etc/printcap
    # This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the
    # /usr/local/etc/cups/printers.conf file. All changes to this file
    # will be lost.
    # written for pips780
    pm780c|EPSON PM780C:\
            :sd=/var/spool/lpd/pm780c:\
            :mx#0:\
            :sh:\
            :lp=/dev/ulpt0:\
            :if=/usr/local/libexec/pips780/filter780.rev:\
            :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
    # pips780 end

    actually having installed the pips780 file from ports I ran the setup
    script to get this into printcap. If I modify the printer via the CUPS
    interface it scraps all of the above and replaces it with one line which
    is the name I gave the printer in the setup.

    Appreciate any tips or links to howtos that are similar to my situation
    here.

    Regards
