[Epsonepl-users] RAW printing to EPL-5900L?

[Oliver G. <Oli...@gm...>]

Hello everybody,

I am currently trying to print to my Epson EPL-5900L connected to
Mandrake 9.0 box using a Windows client. The printer is connected to my
Linux box using the USB port and works beautifully with CUPS.
I would, however, like to enable raw printing to this printer from my
Windows client in order to use Epson's own drivers to change resolution
and so on. Printing using a Postscript driver from Windows works fine,
but unfortunately I can't change resolution and so on this way.
I already enabled the application/octet-stream lines in my cupsd.conf,
but the only thing CUPS gives me as a response to me printing RAW looks
like this:
I [02/Mar/2003:22:40:37 -0500] Job 46 queued on 'epsonlaser' by 'olgar'.
D [02/Mar/2003:22:40:37 -0500] Job 46 hold_until = 0
D [02/Mar/2003:22:40:37 -0500] StartJob(46, 0x80a06a8)
D [02/Mar/2003:22:40:37 -0500] StartJob() id = 46, file = 0/1
E [02/Mar/2003:22:40:37 -0500] Unable to convert file 0 to printable
format for job 46!
I [02/Mar/2003:22:40:37 -0500] Hint: Do you have ESP Ghostscript installed?
D [02/Mar/2003:22:40:37 -0500] CancelJob: id = 46
d [02/Mar/2003:22:40:37 -0500] add_job_state_reasons(0x4030b008[3], 46)

Ghostscript, however is installed (v 7.05).

Does anybody know of a solution to print raw data to my epson?

Thank you very much in advance,
Oliver Gmelch
