Upgraded my desktop (Dell4600C) from Debian Etch to Lenny. Under Etch
my Epson Stylus was running under gutenprint 5.0.0. The upgrade
installed gutenprint 5.0.2 Printer no longer works. If I pull up the
cups interface (localhost:631) it shows the printer with the 5.0.0 as
the ppd file, but say that the installed version is 5.0.2. Have tried
with cups interface to install a new printer but it gets installed with
the 5.0.0 ppd rather than the 5.0.2
Have done a "locate" search for gutenprint pdd files but can only find
5.0.0 versions.
Did a "locate" search for gutenprint 5.0.2 files and can find a whole
page of them for all sorts of printers, but none for Epson Sylus C88+.
Have considered doing
1. apt-get uninstall gutenprint 5.0.2, or
2. apt-get uninstall gutenprint 5.0.0 and then apt-get install
gutenprint 5.0.2
Don't know quite where to go.
suggestions appreciated!!!
Jim
