I have an epson R-300M inkjet atached to my box via usb. I want to print from a networked windows client box, using the windows epson drivers.
I've been trying to set up a raw print queue on my box. If I use the web-based server manager, the only device name I get is "EPSON Stylus Photo R300 USB #1 (EPSON Stylus Photo R300)". Which is great - that's the port I use for the locally installed printer driver. But...then it only allows me to pick EPSON drivers - no raw driver.
I've seen no place to use usb:/dev/usb/lp0 - and in fact some postings say that it's no longer a valid URI.
I went to modify printer - that allows me to pick Raw as the Make/Manufacturer - but then just goes into a loop, bringing me back to the Make/Manufacturer page.
So, how do I set up a raw device???
