    Hello, I am trying to get this printer to work under linux.

    Basically I am already failing to print a test page.
    I have filed a bug at debian, but so far got no response, so I kind of go upstream

    http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=708085

    There is a similar scenario from someone with a raspberry.
    For me it looks like the communication between the printer and the linux host
    is out of sync.

    The printer should be supported according to gutenprint's web side.
    I haven't found any hints that someone has actually used this printer with cups
    and gutenberg on linux but I sure hope that this isn't the case.

    Tnx Thomas

    Hello Thomas,
    what is the version of CUPS and gutenprint.
    If you contat me by email, I can send you a test printjob to send raw to the printer (no interpretation by any filters) to see if the job is good to print.
    If it prints, then the issue is purely a CUPS problem.
    Regards,
    Gernot Hassenpflug
