[Xprint] Re: Xprint and Epson LQ680 Dot Matrix Printer

[Ben Wang]

Hi,

I have been trying to get Mozilla printing via Xprint to work properly 
on the Epson LQ680 Dot Matrix Printer on a 2.6.6 kernel Linux system. 
It prints a beautiful test page via cups unfortunately when mozilla 
prints via Xprint->cups->printer the pages prints at roughly 10x the 
size of a normal page meaning it only fits 1/10th of the page onto the 
actual page.

I have tried to modify /etc/Xprint/print/attributes/document 's 
resolution, it seems to have no effect.

The next thing to try would be to create my own model-config for the 
Epson printer however, I have been unable to find any document or any 
other documentation which specifies the syntax and layout of the 
model-config file... the ppd to model-config utility isn't available yet 
for me to convert from cups' ppd file.

The printer is fine with Open Office 1.1.1.  There is also a Kyocera 
Mita FS-1010 on the system which works fine for Mozilla via Xprint, so 
that at least is working however the dot matrix does not seem to be 
working correctly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Ben Wang
