Although printer is configuring fine (and even autodetects driver, and even
using needed filters (commandtoepson) locally) with "raw queue" driver,
somewhy printer doesn't work as expected: if I trying to print something —
jobs are just silently marks as finished (while printer doesn't print
anything) and nothing new appears in process list. And if I trying to "clean
print heads" — printer showing "Printing" screen (printing, but not
"cleaning"! O_O ) and either cancels it after a few seconds, or freezing on
"Printing" screen (canceling doesn't work, and even after pressing poweroff
button - it freezing on "powering off" screen and can be freezed for an hour
(and may be longer). Only manual power cable reattaching fixing the situation.
While Generic/IPP_Everywhre makes it to work normally (althouth, with
duplicating every job), and Generic/Foomatic_Postscript seems to print
normally, but unable to clean heads.
So... Unfortunatelly, "Raw Queue" isn't a solution (until this is a bug).
