Gutenprint - Top Quality Printer Drivers

5 Epson Stylus CX5600 - ID: 1781734
Last Update: Comment added ( nobody )

Add driver support, please, for this a multifunction (printer + scanner)
for home & office.
There is no driver support.
Test with other drivers (cx5400, cx5700, c84, etc.) causes the same: the
printer turns off.
I've tried to install the avasys driver, but it doesn't work in ubuntu.
At this time, i've converted the rpm files to deb, and i'm working with the
scripts, turning it form redhat to ubuntu. By this time, i need the ppd
file to continue converting this drivers, but i can't fund nor create it.
I've a log of my (unfinished) work, if it can help.

IT WORKS !

After a long work with rlk and other sources, i used the Epson Stylus D68

I works great.

I can't attach a file in sourceforge.
I'm sending it by email.

Could you send me /var/log/cups/error_log?

Well, it doesn't work.
Any idea?
Do you need some kind of log, or another info that i can provide to help
to develop the driver?

The 4400 driver in Gutenprint is identical to the 3800 driver.

The CX3800 driver doesn't work.
I sent a test page and the printer did a ugly noise and then turn off.
This is the cups detail (in spanish):

According to the avasys driver, the CX4400 driver will work fine with the
CX5600 printer. There's any change to include the CX4400 driver soon? (this
week? ;) )

You can read what i did with the avasys driver in the ubuntu-es blog link
that i've posted before.

Oops. My error -- that hasn't been backported to 5.0 yet.

Please try the CX3800 driver.

I've downlodaded gutenprint-5.0.1.tar.bz2 but there's not a cx4400
driver.

I've uninstall cups + gutenprint + foomatic + ijs. Then i've installed
cups and compiled and installed gutenprint. Then i've restart cups and try
to install the printer, but the driver for epson stylus cx4400 isn't in the
list.

That's a rather old release -- please download the latest (5.0.1) from our
download page (you'll need to compile it from source).

The CX4400 driver isn't available for ubuntu 7.04.
I've made a screen capture of available drivers, but the CX4400 isn't
there (there's no link to submit a file!).
The list look like:
...
Epson Stylus CX4200 - CUPS + Gutenprint v5.0.0.99.1 (en)
Epson Stylus CX4200 - CUPS + Gutenprint v5.0.0.99.1 Simplified (en)
Epson Stylus CX4200 - Foomatic/gutenprint-ijs-simplified.5.0 (en)
Epson Stylus CX4200 - Foomatic/gutenprint-ijs.5.0 (en)
Epson Stylus CX4500 - CUPS + Gutenprint v5.0.0.99.1 (en)
Epson Stylus CX4500 - CUPS + Gutenprint v5.0.0.99.1 Simplified (en)
Epson Stylus CX4500 - Foomatic/gutenprint-ijs-simplified.5.0 (en)
Epson Stylus CX4500 - Foomatic/gutenprint-ijs.5.0 (en)
...

I've working on the avasys cx4400 driver, but i couldn't make it work. The
only thing that i was able to get working was the ink cartridge level
indicator.
I'm planning to post my job on ubuntu-es.

Please tell me if you know an easier way to make it printer work.
