[STR New]

I have a lot of EPSON TM-U950 printers, I'm using the Generic ESC/P Dot
Matrix Printer Foomatic/epson driver on CUPS 1.3.x and CUPS 1.4.x

The printers works fine in CUPS 1.3.x but it doesn't work in CUPS 1.4.x;
you said me before: "We do not support or develop the software/driver you
are using.  Please contact the developer for assistance."
(http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3499)

I reported this failure to the driver developer and he writes to me:
"According to your debug error_logs, the types of your input files are not
correctly recognized by CUPS. CUPS considered your first input file as
PostScript and the second as PDF" ... "This is not a problem of Foomatic."
(http://bugs.linux-foundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422).

I can't update my GNU/Linux system because my printers doesn't work in
CUPS 1.4.x; and I can't install CUPS 1.3.x on one updated GNU/Linux
system.

Please, don't close me this bug report without resolution again ... help
me, I have a lot of pressure on me at my work because it fails.
